he influence of Concordia was felt throughout the community. 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.
