September Scene Repairs were made to the playhouse at Shepherd of the City Child Care Center by football players Steve Wagner, David Hess, and Craig Witte. Reaching Out To Aid Others I n addition to time spent in weight lifting, games and long practices, the football team gave a Saturday of their time to help Lutheran Out- reach. The coaches believe that the prima- ry purpose of all activities is to help the students grow spiritually, explains Coach Jon Anderson. On September 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. most of the team, including the managers and coaches, got involved. Mr. Dick Wert says, It ' s a real revela- tion for the team to see how the elderly live. It ' s important that they see in the community how much has to be done for those who can ' t do things for them- selves. Manager Jon Miller says, I got a lot out of it. It was a fulfilling experience and we had fun doing it. Jon ' s group pulled weeds out of a yard and helped at the Child Care Center. Sophomores Terry Rybolt and Rob Hudelson cleaned a blind man ' s carpet and an apartment for two elderly ladies. Junior Mike Burkholder concluded, The thing I found most rewarding was the old people telling us they appreciat- ed our helping them and seeing the smiles on their faces when we were done. Cleaning out the grounds around Shepherd of the City is the major chore of coach Dick Wert, Greg Goeglein and Cammy Sage. September scene 1 5

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

October Scene Playing in the Fall Pops Concert senior Melissa Gallant performs a harp solo. Squads Play At War £ Simulators, M-16 ' s, blanks, pup tents, sleeping bags, C-rations and 65 eager Cadets were load- ed onto two Army vehicles on Friday, October 16. This marked the start of the annual JROTC campout at Salo- monie Reservoir. The entire weekend consisted of sim- ulated war games. Cadet Major Jack Daniel was in charge. One simulated game consisted of am- bushing the jeep carrying C-rations. If the group didn ' t capture the jeep, they didn ' t get any food. The jeep was de- fended by smoke grenades, grenade simulators, and bombs. While the jeep was in motion, a grenade simulator at- tached to the bumper went off and punctured the radiator. Water spirted everywhere. Sunday afternoon the two Army ve- hicles returned to CLHS carrying tired, wet, mud-covered Cadets. After camouflaging a truck, Dan Meyer stands poised for any enemy soldiers lurking behind the bushes, during a simulated war game. wL f 16 october scene
