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

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

Cadet Digest Foiled, But Not For Good There was excitement in the ap- ple orchard! The mystery grew as the Concordia Players per- formed their annual melodrama at the Johnny Appleseed Festival. Foiled Again, a story full of vil- lains and good guys gave the audience many opportunities to boo, hiss, and cheer the performers. Although they had only ten days of actual practice, the group put on a good show, Miss Dianne Shrubsall, the di- rector of the play, said proudly. She added, Melodrama is such a special entertaining form that once the actors really feel comfortable with lines and such, they end up having as much fun as the audience. The Concordia Players were a group of talented actors and actresses who performed to gain experience. The members of the Players who were involved in the September produc- tion were sophomores Linda Roden- beck, Susan Dunton, Bryan Meyer, and Tim Huebschman; and seniors Dave Lupke and Paul Zilz. Linda Rodenbeck, who portrayed Miss Penelope Priss, summed it up by saying, I was glad to be picked for the melodrama. It was a lot of fun acting for the kids. Bat Fair, played by senior David Lupke, is foiled again in his attempt to take the Muddy Creek Hotel away from its rightful owners. Bat received the expected boo and hiss from the audience. Reps Aid Planning H igher Education Day was an after- noon for students to investigate 77 different colleges. Representatives from three states set up tables, handed out brochures, and conversed with passing stu- dents. One such student, ju- nior Wendy Norden, said I learned a lot about colleges and narrowed down my choices by asking ques- tions. College reps and counsel- ors alike agreed on one idea. The most profitable action students could take on that day was to compare all the educational opportunities available. Junior Jodi Lentz said, It was an enriching exper- ience; it really opened my eyes to the wide variety of choices. Junior Telly Na- kos agreed, It was a good day for students to get infor- mation which pertains to their future. 14 september scene
