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

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 Individuals Display Talent With knees knocking, hands shaking, and voices quiv- ering, many students par- ticipated in the Pops con- cert sponsored by the Music Depart- ment on Saturday, October 24. The concert opened with the Stage Band performing their version of Boo- gie Express and Dues Blues. Other musical groups also performed. Several individuals displayed their musical talents by performing solos, du- ets, or trios. Performing in the Pops Concert junior Mark Stebbe plays with the Stage Band. This was one of several performances in October. Senior Melissa Gallant played French Folk Song on her harp. Sayuri Ogikubo, a senior, performed her version of Lieberstraum on the piano. Sophomore Natalie Dowden sang Wouldn ' t It Be Loverly, and Boogie Wobgie Bugle Boy was sung by Shelly Dettmer, sophomore, and Kim Dettmer and Jackie Jarvis, ju- niors. I thought it was generally a very good concert, but four or five perfor- mances were outstanding, commented spectator Adele Morrison. fest Drains Juniors rhe question that goes through the minds of juniors be- fore taking the PSAT is What am I doing here? To get to college, said Mike Kleinschmidt. So I can get the results and see what areas I need to brush up on, commented Jay Linnemeier. Whatever the reason, the PSAT is a test to show the student exactly what sub- jects he or she needs to work on. The PSAT is a prepara- tion for the SAT, which is taken by seniors. Although the PSAT is not required in order to go to college, it helps to show the student what he or she has really learned through school. Many students found the PSAT workshops held in the Learning Center a great help in getting prepared. During the PSAT test taken in the Chapel-Auditorium, many juniors concentrate on the questions in the test. The test took three hours with only one five-minute break. October scene 1 6a
