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.

N While posing in front of garbage cans for their MORP picture, Senior Willie Linnemeier and Junior Marty Ambriole can ' t resist laughing at each other ' s antics. 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
