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

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 4-H: Not Only For Farmers 4 -H projects kept several students busy. These projects ranged from foods to livestock and many things in between. A lot of people think 4-H is just for farmers, but it ' s not, commented junior Don Roden- beck. People join 4-H for a variety fo rea- sons. Junior Cara Beitz said, I joined because my Mom and Dad were leaders of a 4-H group. Most people remain in 4-H because of the feeling of accom- plishment. Many hours of work went into preparing his sheep for the State Fair in Indianapolis. Junior Don Rodenbeck shows off his Grand Champion and his award for the time and effort he put into his 4-H project. This feeling of accomplishment is evident in senior Michelle Weiss. She was chosen to be on the 1981 Allen County 4-H Fair Court. In addition, she completed 13 projects for the 1981 Fair. Junior Don Rodenbeck also has a feeling of accomplishment. Don entered his woolies in the State Fair and won eight out of the 1 1 awards given in his division. He was also the first person to win the awards of both Grand Champi- on and Reserve Champion. The feeling of accomplishment or self-satisfaction is the main reason to be in 4-H, but, stated Michelle Weiss, you should be in 4-H to better your- self. LG More Than A Tan A number of students spent the summer working as life- guards. To be a lifeguard, they had to take a written test, a swimming test and learn CPR. Concordia life- guards included Kassy Simmerman, Jody Beck, Amy Rauhut, and James Keefer who worked at pools in the area. As lifeguards they worked as cashiers, watched the baby pool, supervised adult rest swim, cleaned the pool area, count- ed money, and guarded the swimming area. Some worked 10- 12 hours a day while others worked four to eight hours. These students thought lifeguarding was physically easy but mentally tough. They indicated it gets monotonous staring into a pool for several hours at a time. I liked it, but it got tiring after 10-12 hours of the same thing, senior Amy Rauhut noted. Watching over the swimmers at Orchard Ridge pool, junior Jody Beck guarantees their safely and enforces pool rules. summer scene 13
