3 i Up Close On Fads After an exciting Rubik ' s cube contest, freshman Rob Amstutz comes out the winner at the winter Mk sports pep session. PAC-MAN Fever Hits With the assortment of small hand puzzles on the market, many students may have been content with just turn- ing a cube or trying to connect a col- ored chain link. But for those who were not satisfied with testing their skills with small brain teasers, they found other ways of passing their time. Sophomores Brad Krocker and Neil Godfrey, among many other CLHS stu- dents, found recreation in playing a wide variety of arcade games. Their fa- vorite: PAC-MAN. Neil and I have been playin g PAC-MAN ever since it came to Fort Wayne, which was about a year ago, commented Brad. Both players have tallied scores that were possible among the highest for PAC-MAN players at Concordia; Brad with 251,890 and Neil at 227,790. They were ready to take on all cha- lengers too as Neil said, I ' ll play any- one at Northwood Cinema. Involved in an intense chase after Speedy, ju- nior Kurt Coleman enjoys a game of PAC-MAN at Times Quarters Arcade. upclose on fads 1 1

Cadet Digest Cube: Six-Sided Headache During class, if at any time you had turned and noticed a class- mate paying more attention to a multi-colored cube than to the teacher, you probably ignored it. This scene was common in 1981 and 82. A great amount of time and concen- tration was given to that small cube, known as Rubik ' s Cube. The object of the puzzle was to get all six colored sides back in their original position after the cube had been jumbled. Experts claimed there were seven bil- lion combinations but only one which would solve the problem. After many hours of trying, some would give in and buy one of the numerous publications that demonstrated the solution to the cube. But if you couldn ' t figure out the solution from the book, there was a gadget that could be purchased if you grew too frantic: the cube smasher. The cube even became an event at a pep assembly when a contest produced a winner — Rob Amstutz solved the puzzle in one minute and 15 seconds to take the CLHS championship. One of the many students who own a pair of cowboy boots shows that they ' re not only stylish but comfortable as well. ' .. Boots Hit Halls From cowboy boots to knickers to de- signer jeans, Cadets followed the trends set by the fashion industry. Individual tastes also played a role in how the Cadets dressed. The polo shirt was popu- lar with guys and gals alike, especially the brand with the alligator insignia located on the upper left side of the garment. I thought they were very comfortable and I liked the style, commented junior Mark Vandre. Designer jeans were also a favorite with both guys and gals. Among the more popu- lar brands were Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Sasson. For girls, knickers also became a part of the in look for the ' 81-82 school year. Although cowboy boots used to only be at home on the range, it looked like they found a new home on feet walking the halls of CLHS. Among the many who found this fashion right for them, senior Heidi Linne- mcicr shows off her knickers and high socks, an outfit which is popular this year. 10 upclosc on fads

Summer Scene During a weekly Pow Wow at Franke Park Day Camp, counselor Terry Reinking beats the drum for the feather dance. Summer: A Time To Learn June 5, 1981. Most of the students at CLHS were preparing for a three month vacation. Some stu- dents, however, were commiting them- se lves to many hours of work and plan- ning for the coming school year. Spending their time at Vincennes University, the varsity cheerleaders learned cheers, chants, and the steps that go with them. We learned a lot of new ideas that we will be able to use throughout the year, commented sen- ior Tonnya George. Mr. Weiss and the Student Council officers put their heads together and met in August to attend a week-long program at IU in Bloomington. We borrowed ideas from other student councils and made a lot of new friends, commented Vice President Yvonne Netterville. St. Mary ' s College in South Bend was four hard days of work and learning for the yearbook editors. They prepared layout and copy assignments and got new ideas for the 82 Luminarian. Publications was the topic for sum- mer school for three newspaper staff members as Melissa Gallant and Jodi Lentz attended IU to learn more about newspaper production and Ted Gayer attended a Ball State photography workshop. While sitting in her room during journalism camp, section editor Shelle Hyman chooses pho- tos for her layout assignment. 12 summer scene
