Concordia Lutheran High School - Luminarian Yearbook (Fort Wayne, IN)

Throughout the 174 scheduled school days, we had to trudge through the same schedule, day after day. We have walked through the halls with 775 fellow students and spent 1218 class hours with them. But there are more than facts and figures to measure this year by. Many people gave their vacations and free time to help with projects at school, such as Lutheran Outreach and the Christmas Bureau, while oth- ers served through their own churches. Jobs demanded much of our time as did sporting events. When holiday season added to the pressure, we had to allow for the endless task of Christmas shop- ping. We were entertained by new faces this year, and in turn we en- tertained others. Styles of cloth- ing changed; they became both so- phisticated and nostalgic. This year was a unique one — which we struggled through together. student life division lK

RIGHT; As the alarm in her bedroom goes off Cheri Miltcrmaier responds by burying herself beneath her pillow. BELOW: Members of the Ringling Brothers Bar- num Bailey Circus troupe march along St. Joe River Drive en route to the Memorial Coliseum. The time is 6:30 A.M. Suddenly the shrill ring of an alarm sounds. So the average student at Concordia began his day, rising before the sun and finding himself heading bleary-eyed to the start of another school day. Prying oneself out of bed came with varying degrees of difficulty, depending on the hour one went to bed. But early or late as the hour was, all students had to rise at one time or another and make their way through the doors of Concordia. Students came to school each morn- ing by different means of transporta- tion. Close neighbors of Concordia took advantage of the short distance between school and their homes by electing to walk or cycle to school. Some utilized the public and Lutheran schools ' bus service while others drove themselves to school and met the daily hassles of morning rush hour traffic. A lot of the morning drivers are sometimes over- cautious and can cause traffic jams, stated junior Mike Metz, especially when the roads are bad. Once at school, students entered their first hour classes and listened to an array of morning announcements. Teachers and students read devotions over the public address system and Thursdays were set aside for individual first hour devotions. Each Wednesday morning, Concor- dia ' s students and faculty were given the opportunity to worship together. This element of worship added to Con- cordia ' s uniqueness and individuality. Chapel-coordinator Mr. Terry Brein- inger commented, In organizing chap- el this year, we ' ve tried to make sure the services remained true to the Lutheran doctrines and at the same time, present- ed speakers who were able to relate to students. We ' ve tried to please as many people as possible. Mofiiing has brol n
