On November 4, 1980, the Republican candidate and former California Gover- nor Ronald Regan won a land-slide victo- ry over incumbent Jimmy Carter for the highest office in the nation, the presiden- cy. Then on January 20, 1981, the same day Ronald Reagan was sworn in as Presi- dent, the 52 American hostages, who had been held captive for 444 days, were freed. Their freedom came as a result of the intensive negotiations of President Jimmy Carter and his staff. This incident, more than any other since the VietNam War, helped build our patriotism and put the people of our country behind our government. We were influenced by other stories too: The migration of Cuban and boat peo- ple refugees. The murder of former Beatle John Lennon. The capture of the Yorkshire Ripper who killed 13 women in England. A Big 10 victory for the Michigan Wol- verines when they defeated the Washing- ton Huskies in the Rose Bowl. The shooting of Urban League Presi- dent Vernon Jordan outside the Marriott Inn. Under the guidance of Mike Schmidt, Tug McGraw and Steve Carlson, the Philadelphia Phillies World Series victory over the Kansas City Royals in six games. The IMBALCO water problems. The ABSCAM trails. The Super Bowl win for the Oakland Raiders over the favored Philadelphia Ea- gles on Super Sunday, January 25, 1981, 27-10. Harvester shuts down the Scout line. The victories for Dan Quayle, Robert Orr, and Dan Coats who won positions in our local and state government. These occurences made our year what it was. There will never be another year like this. This year was unique and we will always remember it. The oldest President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, became president number 40 when he was inaugerated on January 20, 1981. 4 world events After many long awaited months, the Ameri- cans celebrate the return of the hostages with many Winning the World Series, Tug McGraw, relief yellow ribbons. pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, jumps for joy. After four challenging years, Jimmy Carter turned over the presidency to Ronald Reagan. world events 5 From the first day we ' ve known that we were different. We were different from previous years in several ways: new faces were present, additional classes had been put into our curriculum, and many activities were planned to keep us busy.. Our year varied from one month to the next but we were always busy. It all began with: August-Jamboree, first varsity football victory under coach Dick Wert, choir and band camps.

Students and faculty played a larger role in the events of the city than most probably realized. Although sociology and psychology students were required to do volunteer work with an agency in Fort Wayne, many students continued once the re- quirement was fulfilled. Some even went on to employment with the agencies where they had done volunteer work. Fall elections provided students with a chance to show their support for the po- litical system and candidates of their choice. Some worked for individual can- didates and some served as workers at the polling places on election day. Many students and faculty served their churches. Like Barb Nobis and Mary Carlson, some taught Sunday School, some ushered, some worked with their youth groups, and some sang in their church choirs. Still others were involved in drama in the community. Six students took part in the 4-H Theatre in June and July, some as actors and some as musicians. Several people, including Trisha Farquhar, regu- larly performed in the Fort Wayne Youth Theater. Teacher Dianne Shrubsall par- ticipated in the Youth Theater as well as in other drama groups in the city. Students and faculty were involved in sports around the community too. Activi- ties ranged from Softball to baseball to bowling to swimming to horseback riding. Wildcat Baseball was a big drawing card for many during the summer as students served as assistants at school sites and several teachers served as directors of the entire group. Two students, Martin Fischer and Tim Huebschmann, used their talents in assist- ing with a television program directed at the elderly of the area. Weekly they worked on the program called, Worship for Shut-ins which was broadcast on lo- cal television at 5:30 a.m. every Sunday morning. A number of students also played roles in the Old Fort last summer as part of the daily drama that enfolded there. Accord- ing to Mark Salomon who played a blacksmith, It was an educational exper- ience. It was fun and I could practice my hobby of blacksmithing. (continued) Students play role in community As part of the shadowing program. Senior Sherri Hoeppner types up a letter. This was one of the many learning experiences she had while ob- serving the duties of Mayor Winfield Moses ' secre- tary. In preparation for the Nutcracker Ballet, fresh- man Andrea Lupke does some warm-ups before rehearsal. To complete his Psychology project require- ment of volunteer work, senior John Stennfeld plays ball with the children at the Lutheran Hospital Child Care Center. To raise money for Bethlehem ' s youth group trip to Florida, sophomore Cindy Reinking gets ready to submerge another cheeseball in nuts. Senior Willie Llnnemeir helps move clothing and other essentials for the Christmas Bureau fam- ilies. At the Johnny Appleseed Festival, The Con- cordia Players present A Deputy for Broken Bow. Paul Zilz and Miss Dianne Schrubsall are a few of the cast that participated. We ' re in the news M any political figures and events were cov- ered daily in the newspaper. Even CLHS students made the news in the Fort Wayne area. Some received credit for their achievements; others were the focus of a feature. Senior Jim Melvin had his dream come true on Sept. 20 when he met Mean Joe Greene of the Steelers. They met in the lobby of a Cincinnati hotel at which time Jim presented Joe with a cross. Another student had her dream come true. Gretchen Feldkamp, senior, longed for a place where teenage girls could come together to share their feelings and experiences of their daily lives. Hope Alive was started in October and met weekly at the YWCA villa. Other students made the news when they were accorded scholastic honors. Richard Pierce and Leigh Hayden re- ceived recognition as National Achieve- ment students for being in the top three percent of all black students who took the SAT test. Kevin Scott was honored as a National Merit Finalist based on his score on the SAT. John Blocher, Mark Palmer and Steve Schamber were named Com- mended Students. Major Tibor Bierbaum appeared in the Meet Your Neighbor section of the lo- cal paper. Filmmaker Martin Fischer won a Silver Plaque at the Chicago Film Festi- val Hugo Awards. Mr. Kurt Jordan was honored for his 25 years of Lutheran teaching. There were others who were men- tioned in the news too. They included: Senior Anne Morse who received a $16,000 scholarship to the Peabody Con- servatory. Sophomore Brenda Edwards was se- lected to attend the State Hugh O ' Brian Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, March 13-15. Senior Mary Carlson was chosen DAR representative for CLHS. Junior David West placed second in the News Sentinel editorial cartoon contest. Junior Shirbrina Wilson placed second in the Allen County Economic Opportuni- ty Talent Show at the Embassy Theatre in October. Sophomore Amy Detraz was selected to be principal oboeist in the Fort Wayne Youth Symphony Orchestra. Senior Jane Thomas took second place in the RVS Extemporaneous Speech Contest. Senior James Evanson receives the Walter C. Birkner Memorial Scholarship at a special luncheon in November. In preparing for a speech. Junior Rotarian Allen Moreland catches up on his reading. Being commended for his nationally recog- nized animated films, senior Martin Fischer finds a lot to smile about. Concentrating on the books, seniors Richard Palmer all received the award of being commended mended Finalist, while Kevin Scott was named a Pierce, John Blocher, Steve Schamber and Mark students. In addition, Leigh Hayden was a com- Merit Finalist based on his SAT scores. Wisely used time means extra bucks TJ or some students, going to school was a full-time job. For others, when the school day ended, their work day did not. They left Concordia and headed off in many directions for several more hours of prof- itable activity. Although some students worked only a few hours a week, there were some who worked as many as thirty. Why did they work? The income re- ceived seemed to be the main reason for most. Some needed a job for spending money or to buy clothes, some were sav- ing for colleges, some were paying their Concordia tuition, some were buying a car and needed money for payments, gas and insurance. Students said they received other re- wards too. Sophomore Steve Horine indi- cated he worked for business exper- ience and exercise on his newspaper route. I get to experience a good work- ing environment, said sophomore Scott Bruick of his job at Three Kings Restau- rant. Junior Kathy Knepper enjoyed working with the public since it will help in the career I have chosen (nursing). This was confirmed by another student who commented, You meet a lot of peo- ple and start to get used to the working world. Students held a variety of jobs: cook, furniture stripper, waitress, cashier, stockboy, salesperson, paper carrier, babysitter, groundskeeper, usher, car- ryout clerk. Most enjoyed their jobs in spite of a few drawbacks like not having enough time for school work or socializ- ing with friends at times. As a recommendation for students who are looking for a job, senior Curt Meyer suggested, Get a job that has lots of fun people to work with. Junior Adele Mor- rison, who worked at St. Anne ' s Nursing Home, added, Try to find something half-way enjoyable or you ' ll hate it and it will be drudgery. Working at the Holiday Theater, junior Grote sells refreshments. Guarding Santa, senior Mary Carlson works be- fore Christmas at Glenbrook Square.

I thought Anything Goes was an excellent idea. It encour- aged class spirit and involved a greater percentage of the student body. This also eliminated hard feeling which often was a result from the Powder Puff game, com- mented Mary Carlson. Anything Goes featured twelve events, where all four classes competed for points. The seniors took a first with the freshman at a close second. Sopho- mores, the faculty and juniors filled the other places. The traditional dress up days also had a few variations. The first day many stu- dents donned various hats, wigs and shirts. Clash day involved various checks, stripes and polka dots all coordinated to make an outfit. Students hid behind masks and costumes during masquerade day. Backwards day involved wearing clothes backwards and the first three classes switched positions in the school day. On Mr. Irresistible Day, many guys tried to make girls talk to them. If they succeeded, the girl would give them a sticker. The guy with the most stickers was considered Mr. Irresistible. Richard Pierce won that title. I liked the idea of dress up days. It was a chance to show the football team that we were behind them. It also showed how much school spirit we had. They should have this type of week for every season, stated Kathy Knepper. On Hats, Wig, Tic and Sunglasses day, Junior Dean Bobay shows his enthusiasism. Prematurally aged because of band practices? No, this is senior Tom Krueckeberg in his disguise on Masquerade day. St riving to finish the tricycle race, sophomore Tim Reuning peddles his trike during the Anything Goes competition. 14 homecoming Pigging out was the name of the game for sophomores Eric Preus and Lisa Kemp who partici- pated in the Banana Split Eating Contest. Taking on the roles of senior citizens, seniors Diane Falkenstern and Mark Richert help each oth- er to class. They were only two of the many stu- dents in disguise on Masquerade day. homecoming 15 Because of poor attendance, this could be one of the last pictures taken of a CLHS homecoming bonfire. Transporting their float to Zollner Stadium from the Murphy ' s house proved to be an easy task for several sophomores who get a free ride. The sophomore float finished the competition with a first place showing. 16 homecoming Crowning highlights festivities As the cheerleaders show their support for the team in the form of an arch, sophomore varsity player Mark Friedrich emerges from within. Trying to sail smoothly to a victory, the junior class float wins second place. Performing for the homecoming fans, sopho- more reserve cheerleader Jody Beck leads a cheer. espite the poor turnout at the bonfire, crowds of Cadet and Redskin backers piled in for the CLHS homecoming. Even though we never were ahead, the CADET fans did not lack enthusiasm. We were just glad that we had won four games previously, stated junior Sandy Schweyer. The Northside Redskins went on to de- feat the CADETS, 35-7. Hearing the crowds reaction and knowing they were behind us made the football team feel their season was not a total loss just be- cause of this game, commented senior Steve Zierer. The crowning of the king and queen opened the next night ' s activities. I could not believe it when I heard my name. I was so happy! exclaimed queen Felisa Ferrell. Along with crowned king Richard Pierce, the couple danced to the opening song of the Homecoming dance played by the group Project. Donned in formal attire, Junior court atten- dants, Angie Erwin and Greg Goeglein do not hide their happiness on the student ' s selection for home- coming queen as senior Felisa Ferrell is crowned. homecoming 17 Fashions from the past invade CLHS w hether in school or after hours, fashions played a large part in a Cadet ' s life. Clothing styles reversed from past years in that sloppy apparel of t-shirts and faded blue jeans were out, and the comfortable look with a touch of class was in. Cadets could be viewed getting into the look of deja vu , preppie clothes. These garments reappeared on the scene in the form of practical attire: clothes that could be worn and keep their appearance forever. These included blazers, skirts, burmuda bags, loafers, IZOD ' s, oxfords, polo shirts, duck shoes, monogrammed items, and saddle shoes. Whose name was printed on your de- signer jeans? Calvin Klein, Jordache, Glo- ria Vanderbilt, Anne Klein, Bill Blass, Levi, Lee, Wrangler, CHIC? Wearing de- signer jeans was a major trend for CLHS students. Jean wearers could be found in a variety of outfits; sweaters and jeans, oxfords and jeans, blazers and jeans, just to name a few. The shoe style varied from foot to foot but the footware that appeared most fre- quently were topsiders, docksiders, and numerous kinds of boots, both western and fashion. It ' s fun to see ways everyone dresses because every person ' s style is original, commented senior Kristie Burkholder. Worn by many Cadets, the famous topsiders make walking up and down the halls and stairs more comfortable. Carried around in the hands by many girls, the changeable Bermuda Bag can be used during all four seasons because of the varity of coverings used. «a £i ■■ ■ ! m m tn It 18 fashion Woolen plaid skirts, blazers and sweaters are frequently worn as shown by seniors Leigh Hayden and Janet Jordan.

What will happen next to this notorious Ewing family, only time will tell. After completing Smokey and the Bandit II, Burt Reynolds sidelined his acting career t o venture into the directing field of movies. Smiling because of the prosperity of Superman I? Who knows, but Christopher Reeve can only hope for the same popularity for Superman II. Entertainment brings escape from reality k lthough some say the beginning of a new ' decade left the movie screen bereft of worthy products, no one denies the few that touched the nation ' s silver screens were more than worthy. They were Hol- lywood ' s grace. Robert Redford made his directing de- but one to remember with a reality mov- ie that had the impact of Kramer vs. Kramer in Ordinary People. Sissy Spacek powered Coal Miner ' s Daugh- ter to the top while the Empire struck us dumb with uncountable special effects and crustily endearing Yoda. Dolly Par- ton let Nashville see her heels as she departed platimum wig and all to become the belle of 9 to 5. The teen based horror flicks became a theatre staple crowning Jamie Lee Curtis, Horror Queen. Although the movies in which they starred may not win an Oscar, these people need not worry. Debra Winger stole Travolta ' s thunder as an urban cowgirl, male audiences stole more than one hard stare at Bo ' s sensa- tionalized body, jail bait Brooke Shields swam away her puberty with heart throb- ber Chris Atkins. After Laugh-In fame, Goldie Hawn catapulted to a revived comic career mugging for the camera. Dan Ackroyd paired with John Belushi, abdicating from SNL , didn ' t leave the box offices singing the blues. Richard Pryor is baaad on film but after his brush with death left his old lifestyle in the grave. Gilda Radner dealt another blow to SNL as she left to display her comic taJents on screen and on stage. Although Cable TV may have reigned supreme in Fort Wayne, television can ' t feel too bad about such spectacles as Cla- vell ' s SHOGUN, a viewing blockbuster week second only to ROOTS. T-shirts queried, Who shot JR? but NBC left us hanging until the hollywood strike de- layed the new season further. When the hallowed evening arrived, DALLAS raked up ratings like autumn leaves. Then DALLAS bore many spin-offs and spin-offs of spin-offs. The face of the musical scene changed and diversified. Young people put away their disco shoes and brought out their stilleto heels and cowboy boots. New Waves made small waves, punk flunked, blues came to Fort Wayne by way of Muddy Waters and BB King. Black Sab- both, Blue Oyster Cult, Charlie Daniels Band, The CARS, and ACDC rocked the Coliseum. Micheal Jackson and Barbra Steisand attacked the charts. Around our city, we jogged, skate boarded, rollerskated in rinks and down sidewalks. Armchair athletes watched Evonne Goolagong-Cawley and Bjorn Borg win triumphant Wimbledon ' s. Box- ing fans watched stunned as Hands of Stone Duran closed the curtain on the hashed rematch fight of the year and many famous figures took their last bow and curtain call: Mae West, Peter Sellers, Jay Silverheels, Buckwheat, Stymie, Pablo Picasso, Steve McQueen, and John Lennon. 20 entertainment Also on Dukes of Hazzard but in the role of Bo Duke, Tom Wopat steals the girls ' hearts, week after week.

During the performance of Twas the Night Before Christmas , Santa Claus surprises Dan Konow in the Middle of the night. Cadets dance, celebrate and worship hristmastime at Concordia involved many traditional events. There were some changes, though. The annual dance was held earlier in December and it was held in the gym instead of outside of school as in past years. Some classes serenaded others with carols while every classroom door was decorated to extend the spirit of Christmas to all who entered. Thirty Christmas Bureau families were served by the Concordia community. Headed by chairman Janet Jordan, homerooms bought gifts, food, and certi- ficates for much needed items for the families. All gifts were packaged and sent off to the Bureau on Dec. 12 for delivery to the appropriate families. The annual Christmas dance was held Dec. 6 in the decorated gym. Students danced to the band Night Shade from 9-12. The dance was organized by com- mittee chairpersons Joanne Cordes and Sondra Bollinger. Several clubs took advantage of the holiday season for fundraising projects. The art club sold Christmas cards de- signed by Ms. Joan Miller. The French club sold Noel cookiegrams which were delivered to students by Santa. The Latin club sold candy canes and the Lu-Hi Voice offered Santa Lines in their Christ- mas issue of the paper. The culmination of the Christmas sea- son was the annual taping of Christmas at Concordia for the shutins and elderly of the community. This was the fifteenth taping of the program sponsored by Lutheran Hospital and shown free of charge on WKJG TV-33. Music for the program was provided by Steve Widen- hofer, Dan Albers, Mike Kleinschmidt, Becky Kramer, Anne Morse, the A Cap- pella choir, and the handbell choir. Rev. Edwin Nerger gave the message. Others participating in the service included Mrs. LuAnn Davis, Kevin Scott, Pastor Ron Stelzer as the liturgist, and the chaplain from Lutheran Hospital, Rev. Don Matt- son. The overall program was organized and arranged by Mr. Kurt Jordan. Christmas is such a special time of the year. It should be remembered for its true meaning. Having spent my first Christmas season at CLHS, I feel that I, and my fellow Cadets, actively spent a very memorable holiday season, concluded freshman Brian Judt. Christmas 23 Junior Paul Zllz discusses the possibility of in- creasing pajama sales. In his most revealing moment, Senior Andy Haller loses his pants during Pajama Game a musical put on in the fall. In the fall musical Pajama Game four actors, John Stennfeld. Telly Nakos, Dan Konow, and Tim Ligenfelder, bring their song to a conclusion. Students show off musical ability fter practicing for two months, the Con- 1 cordia Players presented a musical enti- tled, The Pajama Game. Why after five years was a musical once again attempted? Basically, there was a lot of interest expressed this year. The cast was large (consisting of 30 peo- ple) but because of their common inter- est, there was a tremendous sense of uni- ty and harmony, commented director Dianne Shrubsall. This seemed to be the reason for the success of the play. Many Concordians who normally would not have attempted a feat on stage appeared for the musical to use their sing- ing talents. The musical was the door that opened my interest in drama. My only regret was I wish I would have dis- covered it earlier, concluded senior Shawn Boutte. 24 fall d.ama Toybox presents ' Calico Tiger ' U nder the direction of Mr. Chris Gieschen, the Toybox productions entertained chil- dren of all ages with their presentation of the Calico Tiger. Many stars appeared on stage for the first time. The Toybox plays are easier to produce than the fall drama. This pro- vided new people the chance to get their feet wet for the bigger productions, stat- ed Mr. Gieschen. ' Another asset to being in the Toybox was the chance to perform for an enthusi- astic audience. Kids are the best to act in front of. They are not afraid to laugh and express themselves. This is probably the biggest reason I am in Toybox, said Tim Lingenfelder. In preparation for the toybox play The Calico Tiger , the cast pauses to listen to instructions from their director. The Calico Tiger , the Wiseman, played by Tim Ligenfelder ad- vises the jungle animals with his wise sayings. At a toybox theater rehearsal, little monkey, sophomore Kristy Sims, pleads with big monkey, senior Shawn Boutte, not to hit her on the head as Jerome Tiger, played by freshman Bryan Meyer, looks on. toybox 25 Weekends — a time to get away w ho has never looked forward to those two days away from school after a long week of teachers, homework, and rules? Cer- tainly very few. Weekends were wel- comed by students and teachers alike. Those Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sun- days provided all Concordians with the time to do just a bout anything they want- ed. For some, the weekend was full of pro- ductivity. They could catch up on home- work, begin a new project, or put the finishing touches on something they had begun earlier. Several had jobs while many worked at improving their physical dexterity for sports. Their weekend might even include finally getting around to cleaning their room or just reading a book. Others were more social minded. These people could be seen at shopping centers and cinemas with their friends. They attended Concordia ' s football and basketball games, sometimes going to a dance or out for pizza afterwards. And since they could afford to sleep in the next morning, many Cadets would party and generally have a great time until very late at night. Even a Christian unity was expressed by people who regularly attended wor- ship services and spent time witnessing with OAFC. Some were also involved in a church choir or youth group. Shirbrina Wilson summarized her feel- ings with, The weekend was a time to have fun and get away from school. Many Concordia students spent their Friday nights at basketball games, even though the boys ' season wasn ' t a winning one. Students still show their support by attending the Dwenger game. Some students get together after cuss their plans for the weekend. chool to dis- 26 weekends Being an A Cappella member required many Sunday performances.

Before the MORP, seniors Diane Falkenstern and Innovations add excitement i rom watermelon seed spitting to reverse proms: student council sponsored a vari- ety of events. In an effort to please as many people as possible, the officers con- centrated on creating new, unique ideas. Starting with homecoming and continuing throughout the year, students were con- stantly being surprised with different ideas and activities. The first new innovation, the Almost Anything Goes contest, was designed to replace the Powder Puff game. It fea- tured such competitions as banana split eating, drinking Pepsi from baby bottles and tricycle riding. The contest brought the classes together and encouraged team work. The seniors had the best team work as they led throughout the competition and managed to finish in first place. After the homecoming excitement died down, girls were given the chance to ask their favorite guy to the reverse hayride. The hayride and square dance were spon- sored jointly by Student Council and G.A.A. (Girl ' s Athletic Association) Wom- en ' s lib hit Concordia and three months later girls were again given the chance to ask a special guy to join them for an evening of fun. This time though it wasn ' t for a hayride but rather a reverse prom called the MORP. (MORP is PROM spelled backwards.) Girls either took their dates to some exclusive place like McDonald ' s or prepared a brown-bag din- ner for consumption in the cafeteria be- fore the dance. Everything was done re- verse of the prom: dress was informal, corsages were dead, and pictures were taken in black and white with a back- ground of trash cans. The creativity of these activities and other council sponsored events provided a change of pace and a chance for fun. 28 innovations Members of Student Activities meet to discuss plans for Discovery Week- They are M.

In the Home Ec room kitchen, Rob Metz feasts before the Latin banquet on pizza. We filled our freetime, were entertained, had something to do after school, were able to meet new people; these were just a few of the things students gave as their reasons for joining clubs and organizations. There were sports, religious, heritage, foreign languages, business, entertainment, student elected, music and academic clubs present at CLHS. In all, there appeared a number of 35 clubs. They couldn ' t always be seen but they could be heard in the halls, classrooms, cafeteria, and afterhours trying to persuade innocent CADETS to buy some of the many things they sold. What can we say about our clubs except for the fact that they were a major part of our lives at CLHS. 32 organization division organization division 33 § a f a © A The 1980-81 National Honor Society: FRONT ROW: K.

Business-minded and achievers W e hope people who join FBLA will be- come better acquainted with the business world, commented adviser Mr. Wayne Panning. To inform its members about business, speakers and monthly field trips were held. Through the process of selling kits called Tom Watte, many students were able to enter state FBLA contests. This money enabled the officers to attend a summer workshop. FBLA has given me a wide variety of business situations that businessmen must face every day. Now when I encounter them, 1 will know how to handle them, concluded president Ed Bunsold. Requirements for National Honor Soci- ety included: character, leadership, schol- arly attitude and service. This year ' s recipients brought with them many contraversial opionions on these requirements. I feel the National Honor Society should include not only good grades but also involvement in ex- tracurricular activities, stated Amy Voelker. Other students questioned said that grades should be less of a qualifica- tion and leadership and student potential should be the main emphases. Despite many opinions, the feeling of achievement in making National Honor Society remained. I have always tried to do well in my classes, but I never expect- ed to be acknowledged for it. It gave me a feeling of accomplishments because I saw that my work had amounted to some- thing, commented Eve Werling. The NHS is an idea way for achievers to be recognized as more than a name on the honor roll or a statistic in the comput- er, concluded Martin Fischer. 34 nhs-fbla f you were to ask several science or art club members their reasons for joining the club they were in, chances were that you would have gotten some very differ- ent answers. There were those who were interested in gaining new perspectives in science or art outside of the classroom. Some joined to put their leadership abili- ties into action, others for the social as- pect. Still others enjoyed participating in the various fund-raising projects their club offered. Nevertheless, whether dissecting rats or mustering up all their creativity for Christmas cards, almost every member in the science or art club would agree that they really enjoyed themselves. One member of the art club, sophomore Amy Detraz said, We had many activities and a lot of fun. Mr. Chris Gieschen, the science club advisor, summed up his views, I want to give the kids experience in science with- out fear of grades. Creators and dissectors The Science Club: T. Eldridge, D.

Starks Vendors of foreign culture change in the Latin Club was that the ■ leadership consisted of a Triumvirate (a three person ruling body) as compared to one man rule. This club held its annual fund raising project of selling candy canes to enable them to partake in their Latin Banquet festivities. The German Club, which consisted of thirty members, sold candy to fellow classmates, to enable the members to ful- fill their goal of taking their yearly trip to a german community within the United States. Noel Grammes , selling sunflower seeds and popcorn, and sponsoring a Cafe, were a few of the money raising projects of the French Club. The money raised went for taking trips to observe French Cultures. Being in French Club I got a better understanding of the French culture by going to museums and Cafe Johnell. In French class we talk about the culture in books, but in French Club we live it, concluded Libbie Fairfield. 36 lang. clubs The 1980-81 Advanced Handbell Choir: FRONT ROW: C. Beitz, G. Johnston, B.

Harmonic bell ringers earning different ways to ring, how to read music and other fundamentals of ringing bells was the idea of the beginner handbell group. I have always enjoyed playing and listening to music. Since I ' m not in band this is a good way for me to learn and play a musical instrument, commented Paul Pasche. To improve the advanced bells musical talents, practices were held twice a week, for an hour. This year we learned how to play bells of different octaves. It was challang- ing for me to play my part with other parts at the same time. If we would have practiced any less, I could never have done well, stated Lisa Nielson. The advanced ringers had the exper- ience to perform at a bell festival in Wash- ington, besides their annual concerts and church playing. handbells 37 Entertainers The 1980-81 Varsity Cheerleading squad: A Rauhut, A.

Not only is it the opportunity to be active but a chance to show good lead- ership, stated freshman Donna Kleinsch- midt. Safety, a very important aspect in cheerleading was one of the things the varsity squad learned while at camp dur- ing the summer. Having a sturdy mount means less chance of anyone getting hurt, exclaimed senior Felisa Ferrell. Encouragement, good attitudes and continued support should become impor- tant to CLHS ' s school spirit the cheer- leaders say. We come to all games, all the time, exclaimed reserve cheerleader Krista Macke. I feel I ' m doing something for the team, stated Jody Beck. The 1980-81 Freshman Cheerleading squad: W Cordes, D.

Spirit boosters konned in maroon and white outfits, per- forming for the fans and continually learn- ing new routines would be an accurate description of these groups of girls. With an accumulated number of thirty-five girls, the 1980-81 Pom-Pons and Flags entertained many Cadets. Practicing during the summer months, the girls worked out two to three days a week at three to five hour stretches. Why do they give up their time for this? I like to be in front of the crowd, stated senior Kelly Hauschild. It ' s a way to represent our school and at the same time support our teams, exclaimed advi- sor Mrs. Nelson. Taking time from their vacations, the flag and pom-pon captains attended camps where the learned how to prepare appealing pre-game and half-time rou- tines. Flag captain Amy Rentschler com- mented, I learned new ways in which to build school spirit by making up interest- ing routines for half-time shows, New uniforms dressed up the squad. Three carwashes, bake sales, Cadet but- tons, and engraved Christmas tree orna- ments helped to pay for them; however, the girls did have to chip in some of their own money. Our job is to make the crowd rowdy and with new uniforms they are more aware of us; therefore, the crowd will support our teams better, stated senior Belinda Hartman.

The small assembly marching with an even rhythm around the gym even before the begin- ning of school? Or the three individuals who twirled and fired guns at the opening of home basketball games? Each of these people along with many others participat- ed in one or more of the eleven JROTC clubs. Usually being in a JROTC club meant a lot of hard work and dedication. Practic- ing before school and often for hours at a time before a meet made their schedules considerably busy. Some, such as mem- bers of the rifle team who could benefit from practicing alone, even trained dur- ing their study halls. Major Bierbaum commented, Being on some of these teams was not easy.

Tibor Bierbaum, planned a ski trip to Traverse City, Michigan February 27 for skiing at Timberlee Ski area. The club had no fundraising projects so they financed their own equipment and trips. Most members joined because they enjoyed skiing. Senior Bob Bredemeyer concluded, I joined the club because I enjoy adventurous activities. I also love the speed of skiis. 42 cheerblock ski clubs Witnesses and seekers of culture 1 he Afro-American club ' s goal for the year was to get involved in fund-raising pro- jects to finance after school enjoyment for the entire group. They also planned a Black History week in February. Senior Lynne Rogan said, This year ' s outcome was a little disappointing, but we probably could have pulled it together if a little effort had been put forward. The On-Going Ambassadors for Christ spent their year singing and spreading the word of God to the shut-ins and sick of the community to educate them in their spiritual needs. Their activities included leading chapel services, having devotions and keeping people informed through the word of God. Leader of the Ambassadors, Mr. Jon Anderson concluded, Lutheran youths today have a real need to learn of the special gifts that God has given them for services in Christ ' s Kingdom. The discov- ery and development of these gifts only comes by putting one ' s faith into action. Every Lutheran youth should at least try out On-Going Ambassadors for Christ to see if he she might have the gifts of an evangelist. The Afro-American Club: FRONT ROW: F. Fer rel, Z. Roland, T.

The mem- bers of the A Cappella began their day by warming up for the first twenty minutes. Upon completing warm ups, separate rooms were then used for individual sec- tions to learn parts. After reasembling, reviewing of old and new parts was em- phasised as a daily rule. Witnessing is what we are all about. Being in A Cappella gave me the chance to do my part. We went out and sang at area churches every other Sunday, be- sides our various concerts throughout the year, commented bass singer, Mark Ri- chert. Also, going on tour gave this group another chance to witness beyond Fort Wayne area churches. A love for singing and music, was the incentive for these twenty-two individuals to give up their free time to practice and perform, stated director, Mr. Bill Braun. Working together two hours a week, to prepare for outside performances, these twenty-two individuals made up the Con- cordia Singers. Taking dancing lessons in the summer enabled the Singers to improve their shows, which they gave twice a month throughout the year. The month of De- cember, however, they performed as much as three times a week. 1 have always enjoyed singing and act- ing. Singers was the ideal way to combine both, concluded Chris Murphy.

In these classes, which met on alternating days, the stu- dents learned some fundamentals of singing and studied many types of mu- sic including folk, popular, and sacred. In addition, they were required to pre- pare a singing project each quarter which along with their attendance at con- certs made up most of their final grade. Girls who wished to continue in music for a second year moved on to Advanced Girls Chorus while boys could audition for A Cappella. The advanced girls chorus members learned new techiniques on how to prepare their voices and even did a short dance routine at one of their con- certs. All in all, most of the students who took part in any of these classes did so to prepare themselves for A Cappella. Sophomore ' Jenny Murphy stated, I took Girls Chorus and Advanced Girls Chorus because I wanted to be in A Cap- pella and they provided me with an excel- lent way to develop my vocal skills.

No one to strike up the chorus after a football or basketball victo- ry. No musical organization to represent our school in the parades. No instrumen- tal at the Christmas concert and no Pomp and Circumstance at gradu- ation. While being a member of the 1980-81 varsity or stage bands had its rewards, it was far from easy. Many hours of prac- tice were required of members through- out the year including two hours of marching each week in the summer and a week of vigorous training at band camp. Those in stage band met on Monday nights rehearsing performance numbers and at the same time working to someday make the transition from a stage to a jazz band. But, under the direction of Mr. Paul Wills, these bands polished their acts until they could perform with self-respect. Mr. Wills commented, Pride was our major theme this year. The band mem- bers all took a lot of pride in their work and really tried to please their audience, and this year I ' ve worked with one of my best bands. Certainly many of the activities the band plays for could go on without them, but as one cheerleader, junior Angie Er- win concluded, The school would defi- nitely be at a loss without the band. They have a lot of spirited people who add so much support that they get the rest of the audience going. The 1980-81 Varsity Band: FRONT ROW: M. Gallant, C. Hall, C. Beitz, A. Hollman, D. Payne, K.

Who are these organizations? The orchestra, the brass choir, and the cadet band. Mr. William Braun, the director of the orchestra revealed that, Being kept in the background probably made the mem- bers of the orchestra a little less motivat- ed. Even so, these seven people per- formed at local churches, concerts, and musical contests throughout the year, sometimes assisted by independant violin- ists or members of the varsity band. Those in brass choir and cadet band, which are under the direction of Mr. Paul Wills, had few complaints about publicity. The brass choir was made up of 14 varsi- ty band members who met for practice on their own time and played for area churches. The cadet band, or freshman band as it was sometimes called, helped students develop technical skills and a command of their instruments. They also performed at some concerts, but this group was intentinally kept low-keyed by Mr. Wills who said, I wanted them to be able to look forward to playing in varsity band.

Clubs and other organizations were usually the cause. These groups which met in after-school hours gave students the opportunity to explore interests that were not included in the regular curriculum, says senior Debbie Anderson. Students who were in- terested in skiing could join the ski club, and those with artistic abilities had the art club to further express their talents. Some students became club members to learn more about a subject area. Ju- nior Carla Bryant said, I wanted to learn more about the French language and the French culture than we learned in class. The Latin club ' s annual Roman ban- quet gave the members a flavor for the ancient culture complete with togas and Roman mythology. Junior David Lupke said his interest in science is what prompted him to join the Biology club where he was able to dissect animals and perform other lab demon- strations not otherwise done in class. Others joined clubs for fun and fellow- ship. Former German club member Linda Chronister said, Clubs provide extra- curricular places and times for getting together after school, but having a scho- lastic, basis. Junior Jamie Stevens ad- ded, It gave me a chance to meet other people, and to learn things that you may never come upon in a typical classroom situation. Clubs and organizations offered stu- dents a chance to do something out of the ordinary, but Debbie Anderson warned, Clubs allow you to sample something new; however, students should budget their time and leave some room for their regular school work.

We had excellent representatives and there was never a lack of volunteers for activities, com- mented president Richard Pierce. Many students took the time to volunteer their services in heading up committees and were chosen for that reason. The student council ' s main job was to be representative of the student bodies opinion to the administration in addition to planning social activities and work in the community. All officers of the excutive board at- tended a Student Leadership Institute during the summer. This proved to be effective in informing the officers about running a student council. The main thing I learned was how to get more stu- dent involvement and various idea ' s for new activities, stated treasure Tim Imler.

Get your munchies here! Our price is right! Throughout the CLHS halls and classrooms, students can be heard negoti- ating sales for the purpose of raising the income of one of the big assortment of clubs offered at CLHS. Each club had one or two weeks in which to sell their variety of items. This was the major source of income for most organizations; however, some clubs did have their members pay dues regularly. Every club had goals and a specific purpose for their capital raised. We raised money through selling candy which helped us to pay for our trip. Whatever was left over had been divided evenly between all the members for their cost of the trip, commented German club Presi- dent Kris Trygg. Our goal was to raise money for to pay for our new outfits, added Pom-pon captain Kristie Burkholder. Not every one sold items for fundrais- ing, but those who did had the feeling that they contributed to make their club a suc- cess, concluded senior Barb Nobis. Making an exchange of goods with Chris Rettig, Diane Falkenstern makes money for the A Cappella Choir by selling M M ' s. One of the Jobs for Trlsha Farquhar was serving coffee at the annual A Cappella Fish Fry. fw H 52 fundraising fundraising 53 We had a variety of new classes to keep our attention while enabling us to learn to our potentials.The addition of Humanities, TrigAnalytical Geometry Calculus, and Consumer Math gave us more of an assortment of classes. Each department had several requisites that required us to do assignments. Do you remember . . . English-Autobiographies, newspaper projects, documentaries, assorted term papers, casebooks, occupational research papers, speeches, interviews, and career papers. Math-Quarter projects, computer programs, field trips to grocery stores and banks. Religion-Field trips to churches, babysit with an egg for a day projects, Bible verse memorization, and the book of Mark summary projects. Art-Nacrame ' , latchhook rugs and wallhangings, logos, chalk drawings, ceramice, Indian ink drawings, mobiles, toothpick sculptures, painting and dyeing. Home Ec-Numerous dish preparations, sewing fundamentals, clothes designing, knowledge on nutrition and food preservation. Industrial Arts-Planning, building, model houses, wooden items, and shaving wood. Foreign languages-Verb conjugation, vocabulary building, conversing, numerous movies on culture, translating, and singing. Social Studies-Position papers, editorials on file, term papers, volunteer work, magazine article summaries, and field trips. Business-Notetaking, dictation, typing, business transcripts, checkbook balancing, and figuring computations. Music-Singing on tour and in class, Fish Fry and Chili suppers, concerts, individual quarter projects. JROTC-Pre-game and half time entertainment, wilderness campouts and retreats, obstacle courses, and rifle meets. Science-Animal dissections, lab experiments, computer programs, oral reports and presentations. All in all, these projects kept us quite busy but the end results were usually worth the effort. Those of us who did not plan beforehand crammed in hope of a good grade. The small minority of us who prepared our assigments ahead of time felt relieved when the grades finally came out. We all had different study habits but being CADETS gave us something in common. We will take what we have learned here with us everywhere we go. We are Concordia and Concordia is us. 54 academic division • academic division 55 Observers gain knowledge 1 wo hundred and seventy-four Cadets en- rolled in science classes. These people gained a new understanding of the com- plex world around them by exploring deeper into the field of science. Many biology students dissected small animals for the first time, while teachers intro- duced cardiopulmonary resusitation to those in Advanced Biology. Skills from Mathematics and science were combined in Physics courses. In addition, Chemistry students spent a major part of their time examining chemical reactions. Funds raised by the cheese, sausage, and honey sales as well as the fruit sale enabled the science department to order several new pieces of equipment. Biology instructor, Mr. John Schamber said, I have been very pleased with the financing alio ted to the science department. Obviously not every student wished to continue in this field, but a basic knowl- edge of the liberal arts still proved valu- able. Head of the science department, Mr. Donald Gayer commented, As an individual in today ' s world you and your decisions effect society and an under- standing of science is important to this. In Biology, Krista Macke cleans off completing an experiment. In their a anced biology class, seniors Jim Evanson and Belinda Hartman along with the assis- tance of junior J. P. Gentile dig a hole to put up the new fence posts at Hanna ' s Ford. Setting other books aside, sophomore Jeff Wil- liams concentrates on finishing his biology assign- ment. 56 scienc dept. In need of advice, sophomores Dawn Graham and Gerg Smith go to religion teacher Mr. Paul Wills for help with their assignments. During religion class, junior Dan Herb works to complete his assignment. Eternal truths conveyed through religion In the Love, Marriage and Family religion class, the students learned about life by raising baby eggs s a Lutheran school, most of Concordia ' s i concepts, ideas, and rules have centered around the word of God. One of the in- struments used to convey the message of salvation more clearly to the students was the religion department. In the courses offered by this department, students studied the eternal truths of scripture as well as some important guidelines for liv- ing today. An average religion class ranged from 25-30 people. The most popular courses among juniors and seniors, who unlike the younger students had a choice, were undoubtedly Contemporary Problems and Love, Marriage and Family. These classes concentrated on having the stu- dents apply their faith in situations they will probably run into later in life. The head of the religion department, Mr. Michael Meyer noted, Although there are obviously varying degrees, I would say that many people here at Con- cordia certainly believe in Jesus Christ and care about him. religion dept. 57 Business students prepare for careers • he clicking of typewriter keys resounding in unison, the wisping of pencils accompa- nying the teacher ' s dictatation, and the strain of buzzing adding machines emit- ting an indistinct melody were familiar sounds to those associated with the busi- ness department. Responsibility, accuracy, productivity, and diligence are a few examples of the qualities that teachers stressed. These classes, taught by Miss Esther Ross and Mr. Wayne Panning helped students de- velop valuable skills for use in business careers and for personal use as well. This year, as in the past, Concordia ' s business program has rated very highly among prospective employers. Many times more job positions were offered than could be filled, and in some instances students preferred going on to college rather than accepting a job offer right away. Forty year veteran of Concordia and the head of the business department, Miss Esther Ross concluded, Business courses provide a good foundation for continuing in business later and for per- sonal life as well. Catching up on her assignments, junior Susan Lantz completes her accounting workbook. Holding her eyes on the book junior Chris Ack mann practises techniques for Personal Typing. While keeping up with the dictating of Miss Ross, senior Sean O ' Shaughessey concentrates on note taking. 58 business P.E. improves mind and body As part of the boys advanced P.E. classes, senior Andy Langhor gets a chance each Thursday to improve his bowling skills at Northcrest Bowling Lanes. Another activity associated with boys gym classes is tennis. Freshman John Etzler returns the volley. «n r ' tudents enrolled in physical education or health and safety courses found them- selves in a unique classroom environ- ment. P.E. students were not ordered to a chair, but permitted, even encouraged to run around the classroom. Also, in- structors stressed physical fitness rather than mental awareness. Health and safety leaned more towards a normal class, but units in drugs and alcohol as well as driver ' s education helped set this course apart from others. Freshman Susan Bol- linger said, I really liked health and safe- ty because it was very informal and we got answers to a lot of questions. Those who continued beyond the re- quired two semesters of P.E. and one semester of health and safety, were kept busy with a wide variety of programs. For boys there were such carry-over-activities as archery, badminton, golf, and bowling. Girls had riflery, tennis, some advanced gymnastics, track and field. Skill and writ- ten tests were also a de finite part of girls advanced P.E. Taking advantage of the warm air during the fall, the boys ' gym classes play touch football. phys. ed. 59 Expanded class brings variety new course offered for upperclass Eng- lish students was Humanities. Many teachers realized there was not a course that combined history, art, music, litera- ture and philosophy. We hoped that through this course a student would have a better understanding of the history in the arts. Through numerous field trips, students learned what was involved in making a play or a painting enjoyable, commented Mr. Kurt Jordan who along with Mr. Art Pinnow and Mrs. Shirley Jordan taught this class. To improve composition skills, many took English Orientation for College. There they experienced typical reading and writing situations found in college. In writing courses students wrote an Occupational Research Paper, published a newspaper, wrote of personal exper- iences and learned to use standard busi- ness forms and practices. Through literature courses college- bound students had the opportunity to learn about English and American au- thors. Studying poetry, American fiction, and drama were things used to become better acquainted with different styles of writing. Besides studying basic grammer, Eng- lish 9 read short stories, poetry, plays and a novel. I thought English was very challenging and through English 9, I was able to expand my knowledge not only in fundamentals, but also literature, com- mented Neal Godfrey. In English 10, doing career papers, units on In Search of Oneself , and var- ious readings were a few of the activities. No matter what class you were in, I feel it was of value to you. English was impor- tant because all your life you will be judged on how well you read and write, concluded Mr. Kenneth Kraemer. i ! ... Focusing in on her subject, Janet Morgan taxes one of the many pictures required for her documen- tary in English Orientation. Researching material for his career paper, a requirement in ail sophomore English classes, John Klopsch pages through an encyclopedia of careers. As Jody Beck looks on, Patty Fritz uses the index to the occupational guidance briefs for her sophomore career paper. 60 english department Discussing human relations In Challenge of Self Awareness, Greg Goeglein, Rick Fast, and Donna Lump figure out who ' s going to which question for class discussion. As Melllsa Gallant looks on, Amanda Keltsch puts the finishing touches on her story for the Lu-Hi Voice. english dept 61 Math dept. develops positive attitudes H ave you ever checked to see what your friends ' expressions were during and after math class? Is there anything we can do to help students to improve their worries over mathematics? The math department has developed some interesting suggestions to help stu- dents have a positive attitude towards mathematical situations. One of the ideas was that the students taking a math course should realize that math is a gift of God, a tool to uncover God ' s glory and wisdom, and it can assist man in control- ling the environment. The goal of the math department is for students to exhibit competence in the ba- sic skills and understanding for dealing with numbers and forms. It also assists in developing skills and in analytical thinking to fomulate Christian judgement as they relate to their everyday life, as a citizen, consumer, producer, and member of their community. Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry teacher Mr. Don Luepke stated, Tutors were provided in the Math Resource Cen- ter for those students who requested help in mathematics. We also handed out Skill Maintenance worksheet to help students review basic math skills. During his Algebra 1-2 class, Mr. Don Reinking explains how to graph co-ordinates x and y . In the computer lab, senior Sean O ' Shaughnessy works out a computer program to run a trigonom- etry table. 62 math department As senior John Koehllnger looks on, senior Andy Haller puis the finishing touches to his com- puter program. Using her calculator, senior Janet Morgan solves a problem in Trigonometry Analytical Geome- try Introduction to Calculus course. In Mr. Gayer ' s trigonometry class, seniors Bob Bredemeyer and Kurt Meyer watch as Cheryl Dick- erson figures out the distance from this building to the river. math department 63 During fourth hour, German I students concen- trate on translating their book Sutter from Ger- man to English. While students are hard at work, French teach- er Mrs. Sandra Tucker stops to help sophomore Kerry Thompson with difficulties over the assign- ment in French I-II. w hy do students take foreign language classes? This question has many answers but the fact that some colleges require it was the main reason given by most stu- dents. I thought if I took four years of German in high school maybe I could test out of it in college, commented senior Tim Ihssen. First year Latin students, taught by Mr. Paul Buetow, primarily dealt with the ba- sic grammar aspects of the language while Mrs. Nelson taught second, third, and fourth year students the historical and cultural parts of the Latin language. Being a native of the Ukraine, which used to be a country between Germany and Russia but currently is part of Russia, Mr. Eugene Falkenstern instructed his German students on translating. Good grammar skills were the result of many hours the German students spent conju- gating verbs and writing sentences. The final foreign language class, French, taught by Mrs. Sandra Tucker, learned the French language along with information about the culture. In first and second year classes, students were drilled on grammar and pronunciation of the lan- guage. Third and fourth year students did more advanced reading and worked on more individual projects. Understanding increases Preparing the advertising for the Latin Banquet, seniors Ruth Preus and Andy Haller try to think of new ideas to increase attendance. 64 foreign language department Music dept. filled our ears with song ' he Music Department was made up of people working together toward the com- mon goal of enhancing the school with music and signing. The two instructors in the music department, Mr. Paul Wills and Mr. William Braun, both agreed that it took a lot of cooperation to do a good job. Students in advanced girls chorus used their vocal talents to fortify the worship at chapel services while members of the a cappella choir took things a step further by singing at area churches. Varsity band participants helped cheer our teams on to victory and entertained us in half-time shows and parades. Final- ly, all of these groups, in addition to the orchestra, took part in concerts and mu- sic contests. Boys chorus, girls chorus and cadet band performed in some concerts but their main objective was to develop skills to be put to use later at a higher level. Even classes like music theory and music appreciation cooperated by strengthen- ing the students general knowledge of One of the band ' s trombonists, sophomore Danny Hahn, practices the school song. Having memorized his music, junior Mark McGinnis takes time out to prepare for an upcoming Wednesday worship service. During the annual Christmas Concert, seniors Camille Hall and Chris Murphy accompany the A capella choir as they sing Midst the Deep Silence. music department 65 Social scientists investigate man 1 ilm after film. Handout after handout. Lecture after lecture. These were com- mon practices for all social science courses. Position papers, cartoon analyses, edi- torials on file, book reports describe the senior required Government classes. The purpose of government was to teach the concepts of how politics works in this country. Teaching six out of the seven history classes, Mr. Phil Eschels painted a picture of how the United States developed. Mr. Eschels made history interesting. He got into it when he explained things, commented junior Greg Goeglein. Sociology, the study of man and his environment, sparked the interest of both juniors and seniors. The course required volunteer work in the community of all students. Reactions, emotions and human nature skills described the psychology class. Taught by Mr. Art Pinnow, the course included activities such as seeing how long it took to catch a yard stick off a wall and drawing pictures of students them- selves and how they thought they looked along with group discussions. Sensing a need for further expansion of the social science courses, humanities became a part of the curriculum second semester. It was team taught by Mr. Art Pinnow, Mrs. Shirley Jordan and Mr. Kurt Jordan and incorporated both social science and English skills. Mr. Pinnow stated, It was an advanced class that expanded the information given in pre- vious courses. Government class provides for a variety of out- side speakers, as Donna Selking and Pam Lohr listen to a presentation on the dangers of drinking and driving. The discussion was led by Officer Janet Braden. With a Psychology report due later that day, senior Ed Lytal focuses on completing it before the bell rings to end third hour. Once every two weeks, seniors in Mr Gemmer ' s government class get to play Current Events. Dur- ing this game, Paul Hargens shows his mathematical ability by being scorekeeper. 66 liberal arts In government class, senior Belinda Hartman is momentarily distracted during a presentation about Indiana scholarships given by Mr. Gallmeier. During government class, Pam Schiller, Eve Werling, and Ruth Pasche listen to one of Mr. Gem- mer ' s jokes. liberal arts 67 Putting away materials after class, Trisha Mes- serschmidt prepares to leave home ec class after cutting out her pattern. Teamwork Is sometimes necessary to com- plete a project as James Maxwell shows by assisting Jeff Schroeder. Students cultivate life skills wenty-eight juniors and seniors took part in the program at the Regional Vocation- al School. They attended school half days here while participating in programs at RVS ranging from beauty culture to met- al trades. Through my experience in RVS horticulture class, I found a job and received credits doing something I en- joy, commented Gretchen Feldkamp. In other practical courses offered on campus, electricity students worked on experiments to become better acquainted with the field of electricity and electrons. For the mechanically inclined students, shop class offered the chance to fix auto- mobile engines, weld and work with wood and metal. The future architects took part in draft- ing. First year students learned basic techniques. After completing drafting, they specialized in pattern development and architectural drafting. By offering Industrial Arts, we hoped it would give students experience and help them pick out the profession they want to work on as a career, stated instructor Mr. Dick Wert. Introduction to Foods and Clothing course learned basic food preparations for a simple meal during first semester. Later they concentrated on using the sewing machine, proper pattern selection and clothing construction techniques. Making yeast bread, pastries, cakes, learning to buy food efficiently, preparing meat, fish and poultry were all part of the work done by the Advanced Food stu- dents. Advanced clothing students worked in- dependently on more advanced construc- tion techniques plus spending more time on textiles. Using a variety of art media such as pen, charcoal, paint and linoleum blocks, art students created paintings, drawings, collages. The more advanced students completed projects in ceramics, painting, textile designs, drawing, metalcraft and print making. 68 practical arts Students frequently provide critical review of their projects in art. Pam Brown offers sugges- tions to Sharon Doenges on how to improve her drawing. Laying out a pattern correctly is important to Tammy Mook as she begins her sewing project. practical arts 69 Learning Center polishes skills ' he Learning Center was established in 1979 because the State of Indiana re- quired all students to have a certain level of competence in English, math and social studies. How much each student knows was determined by a test. If a person was below average, they were assigned to the Learning Center to bring their skills up to a minimum level. Now the Learning Cen- ter was not only open to the remedial students but also to accelerated students. I feel the Learning Center offered op- portunity for the kids to get help that they can ' t get in a regular 55 minute class, commented Mrs. Shirley Jordan who headed up the Learning Center. Through funds from AAL, the Learn- ing Center was able to purchase supplies for the advanced students, and books to help students expand reading, math and vocabulary skills. In addition the Learning Center offered a mini course in how to study for college. It has helped my grades tremendous- ly. If I have an important paper to write, Mrs. Jordan proofreads it and takes out mistakes that would have docked my grade. Without the Learning Center, my grades wouldn ' t have been as good, concluded Cheri Mittermeier. During their study hall, juniors Phil Miller and Rick Martin escape from the constraints of the li- brary to do their homework in the Learning Center. Working In the Learning Center, Linda Fairfield glances up at Lyndon Thomas as they each work on an English grammar assignment. Receiving help in the Learning Center, Laura Pifer listens to Mrs. Jordan as she points out some rules in English grammar. 70 learning center After setting up the tables, junior Mark Palmer and senior Greg Fritz put out the chairs for the Concordia Educational Dinner. During one of JROTC ' s campouts. Major Bier baum begins to prepare their evening meal. Showing the wrong way to rappell, Matt Pape hangs upside down from the top of Zollner Stadium. JROTC teaches leadership skills ry it, you ' ll like it! This slogan was used not only for a cereal commercial but to get new recruits for the JROTC program. The program was designed to teach CLHS students about being leaders and better citizens. It also allowed the JROTC students to practice their skills in and out of the classroom. According to Major Tibor Bierbaum, anyone could be involved in JROTC. It wasn ' t only for those who plan to have a military career. No fee was required and everything was free including uniforms and footwear. Our main goal was to make the JROTC program available to all students, concluded Major Bierbaum. jrotc department 71 Publications tell story t the start of the 1980-81 school year two 1 publications, the Lumlnarian and the Lu-Hi Voice, set to work determined to relay shool events better than ever be- fore. Photographers intended to shoot more pictures-all of them great action shots. Copy writers planned to write in- formative articles spelling each word and name correctly. Those in charge of busi- ness transactions wanted to increase fundings for each organization, while lay- out personel planned to use their creativ- ity to its utmost in designing interesting layouts. The staff members were not without problems however. Lu-Hi editor Tim Ihs- sen commented, Two of our major problems came in meeting deadlines and getting adequate funds. The Luminarian ' s co-editor senior Leesa Hilsmier concluded, It has been a hectic year, but I feel that the end result shows our efforts were well worth it. Putting In long hours of writing for the Lu-Hi Voice senior Allen Moreland concentraes on meet- ing a deadline. The 1980-81 Lu-Hi Voice Staff: FRONT ROW: A. Keltsch, M. Gallant, T. Ihssen, M.

During the bon fire, seniors Leesa Hilsmier and Barb Nobis, co-editors of the Luminarian, stand on a fire truck to take pictuies for the yearbook cover. 72 lu-hi-lumo Teamwork is an important factor in putting out a newspaper which is why junior Melissa Gallant and seniors Tim Ihssen and Allen Moreland are so hard at work. The floor provides necessary room for junior Shelle Hyman who diligently plans her layout. Tackling a monotonous Job, junior Susan Lantz X sorts out senior pictures.

Standing as he works, senior Martin Fischer de- cides which layout looks best for the newspaper. lumo-lu-hi 73 We ' ve done it now! We came out of our losing season in football with a bang! We defeated: DeKalb, Northrop, Heritage, Elmhurst, and Harding. These wins boosted the school ' s morale. We suddenly had sell out crowds of students, parents, and teachers. And this was just the beginning! The boys ' tennis team made it through an excellent season of only two losses. They finished their season with our second consecutive sectionals title and the undefeated first doubles pair of seniors Tim Ihssen and Matt Swift. Finishing first in the Woodlan and Manchester Invitationals and second in the SAC, effectively describes several of the feats accomplished by our wrestlers. Senior leadership led the team to frequent victories. As early as June, these young men trained for their season. Scorching weather, numerous injuries, and a decrease in the money allotted to them for new equipment hampered our cross country team from reaching all their goals. After a disappointing season, the boys ' basketball team came on strong in Sectionals to beat Dwenger 67-66 in a record five overtimes. Decisively out- scoring Northrop 69-54, they went on to take the Sectional Championship by beating Harding 52-48. An increase in attendance contributed to the growing popularity of the girls ' volleyball and basketball. This factor seemed to enhance their playing as both teams finished better off for all the experience they gained. The luck of having freshmen on our gymnastics team enabled them to strengthen their attack and wind up their season in one of the top SAC positions. Throughtout our sports seasons, CLHS athletes grew in thei abilities and sportsmanship. We remembered that winning was not everything but that giving it your best try was. 74 sports division sports division 75 76 varsity football Preparing a hand-off for WenDell-Wallace, sen- ior Quentin Moore passes the football. While obtaining a pass from quarterback Quen- tin Moore, junior Daryl Burnett attempts to dodge an on-coming Heritage player. We will win and they did ' he motto We will win proved to be the goal for this year ' s football team. We never quit. We worked together and fought hard. If we didn ' t get a play right the first time, we kept on trying to improve ourselves, commented Sean O ' Shaughnessa. Determination, hard work, encourage- ment and team support combined to be the key to a 5-4 record. The ever-present rivalry between Con- cordia and Northrop was once again ap- parent as the Cadets want on to defeat the Bruins 7 to 6. Personally, I would rather beat Northrop more than any oth- er team. I enjoy proving to them that even though we are smaller, they should not count us out, stated team captain WenDell Wallace. Another highlight of WenDell ' s football career occurred against DeKalb when he broke the school record for the most points (24) scored in a game. The middle of July marked the start of the football season. Three days of condi- tioning opened practice and continued with two practices a day until school start- ed. After the football season ended, the team participated in weightlifting and a running program to stay in shape throughout the year. We had a very good season. We had a group of dedicated young men that were willing to give up their summer and winter for a winning season, concluded Coach Dick Wert. The 1980-81 Varsity Football Team: FRONT ROW: S. Zierer, J.

Receiving encouragement from Michael Beas- ley, sophomore running back Mark Friedrich comes to the sideline. Frosh and reserves expend much effort new format was made available to the 26 kplayers of the freshman football team. Any freshman willing could start prac- ticing and lifting weights in July instead of September. I think it helped them tre- mendously from their constant progress from week to week, commented fresh- man coach Tim Breininger. At the beginning, the football players ate lunch together. If we wouldn ' t have gone out for football we probably would never have met, stated Scott Gobrogge. The Harding game proved to be the most exciting and memorable. First of all Harding forgot to turn off the sprinkles and the field was muddy. Then the Har- ding players began to stick us with nee- dles to prevent us from winning. The best part was that we went on to beat them 28-0, chuckled Kevin Wenegert. The object of playing on a reserve team was to gain experience for varsity, get more playing time and improve upon skills. It was a good way to prepare for varsity. Even though we didn ' t win, we got experience in playing and how to ac- cept a loss, commented Ros Toenges. The lack of replacements proved to be a problem when players were injured dur- ing the game or were ill. Despite the lack of participants, the reserve team showed they did not lack in effort. This team never gave up. Even when Snider was overpowering us (56-0), we still scored some touchdowns. With that kind of attitude, I think they will be good varsity players, concluded Coach Mike Meyer. freshman and reserve football 79 New coach sparks enthusiasm U nder the direction of newly appointed coach Milt Cooper, the cross country team finished with a record of 4-12. Coach Cooper, from Indiana Universi- ty, where he participated in the decatha- lon for his track team, made changes in training techniques. Team captain Jim Buchholz stated, He ' s fantastic! He really did a good job and he really knows what he ' s doing. Although the team managed to achieve several outstanding victories over Bishop Luers, West Noble, Columbia City, and Woodlan sophomore Eric Preus stated, If more fans had attended the meets, it would have increased the team ' s ability to want to do better. Finishing eleventh in the SAC meet en- abled Eric to be named to the All-City Cross Country team. He was one of the few underclassmen to accomplish this feat. Coach Cooper summed up the season, I think they are the most dedicated ath- letes in the school because they have to run daily. They are very intelligent and that makes it easier to work with them. The expression on the face of sophomore Tim Harmeyer shows great strength and determination. Tim went on to finish the 5000 meter treck, helping Concordia gain another victory. Preparing to race in a SAC cross country meet, coach Milt Cooper attaches Willie Linnemeier ' s run- ning number. An essential before a cross country meet, junior Scott Rettig does some vigorous warm ups. 80 cross country Pushing for the finish line, after a 5,000 meter run, is team captain Jim Buchholz.

They went on to win the match 5- Going into Sectionals after taking sec- ond place in the SAC, with a 15-3 record, the team was hopeful but scared of being upset. Reacting to the success of the sea- son, the school backed the team by filling the stands. According to senior Matt Swift, School support was tremendous compared to past years. Togetherness was a big factor in the team ' s success. Tim Ihssen commented, We would have held together even if we wouldn ' t have had a winning season. The season went as I expected that it would. said coach Donald Reinking. It was a disappointment to lose to Wayne and thus not win SAC, but winning Sec- tionals for the second year in a row showed our great team effort. 1980 Boys ' Reserve Tennis Team: FRONT ROW: T.

Lack of experience played a major role in shaping the record of the varsity vol- leyball team. Despite this, these girls fin- ished 3-6 in the SAC and 5-18 overall. Changes in strategies helped the Cadet spikers become more aware of the con- centration needed to be a good volleyball team. Using a combination of two new offenses gave them the opportunity to hit out of the middle instead of the left side of the court which is the weaker side, helped establish the needed concentra- tion. Sophomore Cheryl Wade comment- ed, The first time we used it I had no idea where to go. I would have messed up the whole idea of a middle hitter if it wasn ' t for the help of other players. Mental attitude, an important aspect in volleyball, brought troubles to the team. Coach Bob Michaels admitted, The girls were bothered by too many outside prob- lems. However, inside jokes helped the girls survive and carry them through their sea- son. We all got along great. We laughed all the time which made playing volleyball much more fun, concluded junior Trish Messerschmidt. The 1980 Varsity Volleyball Team: FRONT ROW: D. Graft, K. Koch, SECOND ROW: S. Konow, S.

Mr. Keith Emerick, also the head coach at St. Fran- ces, brought the reserve team to a record of 6-10 and the freshman team ' s record to 2-4. The reserve and the freshman teams comprised of seventeen underclassmen, six sophomores and eleven freshmen im- proved despite their inexperience. It ' s true we were a young team but it seemed to be to our advantage, commented coach Emerick. Reserve captain sophomore Brenda Edwards led the team throughout their season in warm-ups and in game situa- tions. Freshman Dawn Bonke said, Brenda advised everyone on what they should do. She really helped the new players. An increased number of freshman games were arranged. Statitician senior Amy Voelker responded, Frosh volley- ball at CLHS has come a long way. This is mainly because of the added organiza- tion. Concentrating on the ball, freshman Dawn Bohnke serves it to the opponent Luers. The 1980 Reserve and Freshman Volleyball Teams: FRONT ROW: S.

They tried not to look back at past games but forward to the next one. As coach Glenn Parrish put it, They kept com- ing back for more. The kids that fin- ished the year tried their best and they improved from the beginning till the end. Since the team lacked quickness on the court, they worked hard on their defense. This meant doing many run- ning drills during their ten hours a week of practices. Junior guard Mike Beasley stated, You have to give it all you have got and play hard even though it is tiring running up and down the court for four quarters. Although Coach Parrish usually likes to start the same five players, he could not because there were others who deserved to start. Almost every game he had a change in the line up. Senior center Scott Warren, a new- comer to CLHS but not to basketball, summed it up by saying, We had a disappointing win-loss record but the unity of the team was really great. The crowd was very enthusiastic and sup- portive. The 1980-81 Varsity Basketball team: FRONT ROW: M. Beasley. C. Inge. A. Owens, T. Hargens, D. Burnett. BACK ROW: T. Imler, J. Nichols, S. Warren, P.

But looking back, one can admire them for the fact that whether winning or losing, they demonstrated an undeniable spirit throughout the season. As the season went on for the reserve team, who had a final record of 7-13, continuing to play with the same enthu- siam that accompanied their first games was not always easy. According to Coach Jack Massucci, some of the problems that beset the cagers were lack of height, lack of aggressiveness, and a lack of defense. Junior Andy Owen commented, Every- one worked real hard, but the shots just didn ' t fall. Sophomore Gerald McGee added, We tried our hardest every time. Although both the players and coaches were new to Concordia, the freshman A and B teams, headed by Coaches Pastor Ron Stelzer and Milt Cooper, en- joyed a successful season with a 15-4 record. Coach Cooper credited this te the way they worked together. The team was close and helped each other out, he said. There was no backstab- bing. With Wayne as the defending team, sophomore Scott Schamberg makes an effort to add two more points to the team score. The 1980-81 Boy ' s Reserve Basketball team: FRONT ROW: T. Amstutz, M.

Excite- ment also hung in the air, intensified with the noise of the crowd rebounding off the gymnasium walls. As you went to sit among the moder- ately sized group of supporters, the ma- jority of which was made up of parents and a handful of Concordia students, per- haps you realized that the band, pompon girls and flag squad would not be present. And except for a few major games, even the cheerleaders were missing. At last, with a jump the game began. Referees and spectators alike would fol- low the ball up and down the court with critical eyes. All of their conditioning, which began in November, was behind them now as these girls concentrated on suppressing their opponents and working together to gain a higher score for them- selves. Coach Art Pinnow could be seen counseling and encouraging the girls at the end of a quarter or during a time out. Nevertheless, even though the girls were on their way to a disheartening 1-14 record, they kept a positive attitude. At their only pepsession Coach Pinnow stat- ed, We were not very successful when it came to winning games and it was not easy for the girls to keep coming to morn- ing practises right after losing another game but they always did come, and they showed a lot of spirit. Senior Cheryl Dixie added, Our spirit was important in getting us through the season. When playing a game against Heritage, soph omore Justine Bateman strives to raise the score.

Even though only two veteran seniors returned, many gained experience through lessons, practice and camp dur- ing the summer. Four of us attended camp this summer. It proved very benefi- cial in teaching us more advanced tum- bling and techniques, commented, op- tional gymnast Karen Krebs. Placing first in the Harding Invitational proved to be the highlight of many gym- nasts season. We never expected this victory and were very excited when we won. All the SAC teams participated, we were the smallest team and came out the victors, stated, optional gymnast Be- linda Hartmann. As a team, their goals were accom- plished when they won the Harding Invi- tational and became known as a threat to other teams. Concordia was never a threat when I first came here, but this year we have the most talent and have been acknowledged for it.

But after taking a second look, the pieces began to fit together. What was this? What were they doing? Take downs, reversals, escapes, near falls, penalties, defaults, and pins; these terms were all things that earned a grappler points. Wrestling is not just a sport that a person can learn today and have mas- tered by tomorrow, commented junior Dave Doyle. Coach Ed LeBeau added, Practice, dedication and determination make a good wrestler. You can not want to wrestle one day and slough off the next. It is a year long process. Completing their regular season with a second place SAC finish and 7-1 SAC record, these young men did not give up yet. Guided by five seniors, CLHS placed second in the North Side Sectionals with five champions, senior Tim Ihssen at 132, Troy Taykowski at 177, Mark Zozulia at 185, Jeff Schroeder at Heavy weight, and undefeated WenDell Wallace at 167. Sophomore John Klopsch placed second at 98 pounds to also qualify for the Car- roll Regionals. Again Tim Ihssen, WenDell Wallace, and Troy Taykowski eliminated their op- ponents at the regional level and went on to the North Side Semi-State. All the practice and things I had to give up were more than worth it when I had something to show for it, said Troy Taykowski. With a mirror finish of the last year, senior grappler WenDell Wallace ended his undefeated season to Delta ' s Dave Palmer in the 167 pound finals of the semi-state and was the only CLHS wres- tler to Qualify for State. Going into the semi-finals of the State Championship, WenDell lost to Reisz from Reitz of Ev- ansville placing third in the 167 pound weight class. The 1980-81 Wrestling Team: FRONT ROW: F Nash, J.

His cousin introduced this sport to him and Willie, who was 15 at the time, discov- ered a new talent. Don Scheiman, the owner of a ski shop in the Lake James area, helped Willie improve his skills. From there Willie, along with other ath- letes in the Hamilton Lake Ski Club Team, competed in small tournaments in their area. Although this sport does not interfere with school, Willie spends a lot of time practicing during the summer months. I never really timed myself but I practice several times a day. At one session I usu- ally go through the slalom course about six times and make about six or eight jumps. Willie received fourth place in state competition in 1980 and has already made plans concerning his goal for this year. I plan to make four buoys at 36 miles an hour, he announced.

I invest the majority of my time and money in the caring and training of my horse, commented Susan. Taking two lessons a week and riding every evening after school proved to be very time consuming. Susan invested ap- proximately a thousand dollars in equip- ment. This included the saddle, riding equipment and the boarding of her horse. Entering events four times each year has kept Susan busy. Three types of events she can enter are dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping. If you are in harmony with your horse, your horse will know what to do before you tell him, stated Susan and then added, In horse back riding you can easily get lost in a different world. I can relax and think through my problems, in- stead of taking my frustrations out on someone else. It has changed my life. Riding on her hoise.

Howev- er, the class of ' 83 will remember their sophomore year as more than just a struggle to pass biology or geometry. In- stead, it will stand out as a year filled with events. Drivers ' licenses, class rings, and sweet 16 parties figured as some of the annual highlights. Who could forget the school spirit apparent in such activities as the summer car wash, the production of the homecoming float, and the pep sessions. In addition, the sophomores introduced the staff appreciation day. Sophomore Anne Evanson concluded, Looking back, I ' d say it has been a terrif- ic year.

When I was six years old, I swallowed a whole bottle of baby aspirin and I need- ed to go to the hospital to get my stom- ach pumped. -Brenda Edwards I cut myself while using a chain saw and I had to get seven stitches. -Scott Schamberg I was babysitting for my Aunt ' s little boy whose hair was too long. After a while I couldn ' t stand it any longer so I cut his hair. Later, when his mother re- turned, I felt very dumb. -Lori Syn- dram On the first day of Driver ' s Educa- tion, I ran into a stop sign. -Andrew Banet The dumbest thing I ever did was to leave a friend hanging on the phone for ten minutes while I read a book.

Her mother first encouraged her interest in modeling as a career; however, she was required to take several classes before she could begin. Nevertheless, she feels the studying has helped her in many areas. I went to New York last year for a modeling competition where I received an honorable mention in runway, an honorable mention in photography, and third runner-up in a television commercial, Kellie reflected. Kellie plans to go to New York State University for college and to do some modeling while there. I set very high goals for myself, she exclaims. All I can say is that I ' m going to try! Kellie recommends for other aspiring models, Anyone who wants to be a model should go for it. Don ' s just sit back because you think you might not be good at it. You never really know until you try!

They started the year with Orientation for newcomers. The purpose was to help the freshmen get aquainted with their teachers and classmates. Another activity for the class of 84 occurred September 12 at the Freshmen party. Richard Pierce, Student Body President, stated, They preferred danc- ing over playing games and that ' s some- thing previous classes didn ' t want to do. It says something about their maturity. Freshman Rosalind Hatch concluded, It was sort of frightening at first but I gradually fell in with the crowd. I met a lot of friends and encouraging people, which proves to me that this the right school for me.

As freshmen you encounter many deci- sions about whether to socialize or study; how did you decide? Well, sometimes I socialize and some- times I study. -Pam Reinking You don ' t want to get involved in too many activities because then your grades will begin to slip. But you want to get involved in some things so you can have some fun. -Sandi VonDeylen I like to make friends. -Jon Weber It depends on how your grades are in your courses. I usually sit and socialize with friends but if I ' m not doing so well, I try to study more. -Cathy Malott My main goal is to study and get good grades but also to make a lot of friends and have a good time. -Susan Nienow.

A4y brother told me that he told all his friends to watch out for me. He said that it would be a day that I ' ll never forget, commented freshman Donna Kleinsch- midt. THE DAY occurs once a year. It is freshman initiation, a day used to unify the freshmen with the upperclassmen so they may consider themselves fullfledged Concordians. Initiation consisted of wear- ing a rain cap, boots and a diaper. Fresh- man Liesl Stennfeld stated, I thought the idea was kinda funny, seeing every- one bypassing the upperclassmen. For the first time in several years, the freshman class escaped the annual pie- throw following initiation. In addition, ini- tiation only lasted one day to keep things from getting out of hand. Student Council adviser Mr. Fred Weiss concluded, I don ' t think it will ever come to a point that CLHS will nev- er have an initiation. 136 freshmen Susan Shank Joseph Sowder Tricia Spencer Tracy Starks Tanya Stedge Richard Stein Liesl Stennfeld Michael Strasen Kristina Summers Alan Swift Patricia Syndram Denise Thomas Chad Uhl Sandra VonDeylen Eric Walterburg Gretchen Walther Stephen Warner Sally Warr Jonathan Weber Kevin Wengert Kristina Wetzel Cynthia Wheeler Gary Widenhofer Jeffrey Wiebke Steven Williams Scott Wolff Neil Wood Marjorie Woodard Scott Zollinger Four victims of Initiation Day, are forced to sing the school song for revenge- seeking upperclassmen. freshmen 137 Teachers are human [ n the past, the word teacher may have ' conjured up the image of a grave-looking person holding what appeared to be a very ominous book. Obviously in order to meet the demands of the profession, a certain amount of time had to be spent lecturing and or reprimanding students. However, if you looked close enough, you could have noticed a different side to the teachers. They coached our teams, and worked after hours as advisors for various clubs.

Always on the move, these people oranized a variety of activi- ties for everyone ' s enjoyment. A student did not have to look far for advice or council. Teachers were always willing to lend a helping hand. The only newcomer this year, Pastor Ron Stelzer concluded, Relationships between teachers and students seem to be generally positive. Teachers seem to have a genuine care and concern for the welfare of each student.

Their help is called upon continually to answer phones, keep the record books, do the filing, fix lock- ers, replace broken things, clean up messes, run off daily bulletins and keep attendance records. They kept things spotless, solved problems, nourished ev- eryone and encouraged the students to do their best.

To help eliminate unnecessary tardies, a different format was put into action. After a student received three or more tardies, their name appeared on a bulletin board in the main hall. This system proved worthy because in the first quar- ter alone, more than one thousand tardies were eliminated. We feel very confident that we have not heard any complaints from the Board. We are right on target but there is always room for improvements, ex- plained Principal Mr. Guenther Herzog.

Finishing their regular season with a record of 4-15, twelve young men and three coaches did the incredible. It was the Wednesday night of first round Sectional play. There was not a large crowd in attendance, but those that were there got their money ' s worth. Concordia, the under- dogs, had surfaced after a record five overtimes as the victors over Bishop Dwenger, 67-66. For the Friday evening confrontation with Northrop, the crowd and team were prepared. People who had not yet attended a CLHS basketball game came out of hiding to be there. From the opening tip-off, CLHS had the game under control, never giving up the lead. When the time finally ran out, Concordia emerged the winners over Northrop, 69-54. Through the Saturday game, the roundballers continued astonishing everyone when CLHS defeated Harding, 52- 48. The crowd went wild! The last place SAC team had beat the first place finishers! It wasn ' t probable but it was possi- ble and we did it. The last time CLHS had won a Sectional was in Coach Parrish ' s first year of coaching, 1963. Throughout the next week, school spirit was at its peak. But on Saturday morning, not only was the basketball team preparing for the 11 a.m. game, but caravans of decorated CADETmobiles were assembling and driving to the Colise- um. By this time, hope was alive. After a close first half with Lakeland, we were wonder- ing. After four periods of play, we knew. We were on our way to the Regional finals via a victory over Lakeland, 62- 53. The stage was set for an all-Fort Wayne clash: Fort Wayne vs. Fort Wayne Concordia. The first two quarters of the game went basket for basket but Wayne had a three point lead at halftime, 24-21. What happened in the next sixteen minutes was as amaz- ing as Concordia getting this far in the tournament. Our balloon was broken. Wayne won the regional 62-36. Even though we lost that game, we have good memories of our team and the spirit it produced in the school and for this we are glad. As the basketball season comes to an end, seniors Tim Imler, Scott Warren, and Joel Nichols have a Sectional win to add to their collection of memories. After rebounding, junior Brett Rump tips the ball back in to help us win the first round of Sectionals against Dwenger. After defeating high ranking teams Northrop and Harding, Concordia ' s 1980- 81 Varsity Basketball Team wins the Fort Wayne Sectional II Championship for the first time since 1963. 166 sectional and regional Sectional win in 18 years What was your initial reaction when CLHS beat Harding to win its second Sectional title? Adele Morrison: I was ecstatic when we beat Har- ding but I expected it after the shock of beating Dwenger in five overtimes! Tim Imler: As soon as the horn had gone off, I never went so wild in my life! I was so wild that I even hugged Mr. Parrish! Yvonne Netterville: Shock and disbelief! During the season I knew we had the potential to do good but we never could seem to get it together. I was so happy for the players when we finally won! Andy Haller: 1 felt as if just for that moment, the world was ours! Rah! Liesl Stennfeld and Julie Luttenbacher: It was so weird because at all our Sectional games, we had a feeling that we were really gonna win. And when we beat Dwenger, we were so happy and confident that we could beat anyone! Sean O ' Shaughnessey: Unbelief! I went spaz and partied hearty! Cleveland Inge: It was a miracle because we really hadn ' t thought we would even get past Dwenger! Struggling to recover the basketball, senior Scott Going up for a shot, senior Scott Warren concen- Warren and junior Tom Hargens successfully gain trates on keeping the ball away from the Lakeland conrol of the ball. opponent.

It had its ups and downs but we survived. We made mistakes along the way but we are better off for the experiences. We had many problems, broken promises, forgotten engage- ments, shattered r omances, misunderstandings be- tween friends and teachers, jammed lockers, pop quizzes, closed study halls, receiving a grade that was lower than expected, no date for a dance or movie, lower enrollment, not enough snow, forgotten assign- ments, too much homework, lack of patriotism, jeal- ousy between rivals, coming up on the short end during the basketball season and trying to find enough money to spend on spring break. Along with the bad times, there were good times. Those were the times we will never forget. Those of us not returning said final goodbyes and prepared for the future. Some cried because we would never see other again while others cried in happiness, glad that another year had elapsed. We made it! We can now look back and say This is what we did! To the reader- We hope you like and enjoy looking at this book, your memories, our memories. It took a lot of work on our part but we made it and this book is the lasting proof. We wish to thank all the people who were involved in any aspect ot creating and finishing this book, but especially, our adviser, Mrs. Linda Schwartz for all the time she devoted to helping make this the best possible. We heard the complaints from last year so we tried to improve the quality o( this year ' s publication. You wanted more pictures; we gave you more pictures. We were faced with many unforeseen obstacles but we have tried to give an accurate, unbiased account of this year as it really was. Thank you, the students, teachers, and administrators of CLHS because without you none of this book or year would have been possible. As we close our four years here at CLHS, we would like to wish our fellow seniors success in their futures, and as for the underclassmen, good luck and God ' s blessings. tijJb Ynu ) QcL £ou n 176 editors page
