Enjoying themselves, seniors Diane Falken- stern and Mark Rickert dance to the music of Night Shade during the Christmas Dance. Before Miss Shrubsall announces the Varsity Band, she reads a selection of the Christmas story during the Christmas Concert. 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
