December Scene Waiting for the service to begin. Principal Gucnlher Hcrzog gives a brief speech to the student body. Students Share Service The annual television broad- cast of Christmas at Con- cordia served not only as our weekly worship service, but as the Christmas service for many of the shut-ins in the Fort Wayne area as well. The service was aired on WKJG-TV, Channel 33 at 5 p.m. on December 25. Featured in the annual program was the Acappella choir and the Woodwind choir. Reverand Robert Bruckner from St. Michael delivered the sermon. Originating in 1965, the service was presented to the community as a gift from the Lutheran Hospital staff. Students served as acolytes, ush- ers, and accompanyists during the service. WKJG-TV contributed their cameras, personnel and time to tape the service. Pastor Robert Bruckner delivers the message at the sixteenth annual Christmas at Concor- dia. IX dcccmbcr scene

November Scene The JROTC colorguard carries their flags proud- ly in the annual Veterans ' Day Parade. Fall Fun At Karefree You gotta mix and mingle, sang the waiters and chorus as the Concordia Players opened their 1981-82 season with the musical comedy, Wish You Were Here. The story took place at Kamp Kare- free, a summer camp where adults went to act like children for two weeks. Kare- free was located in the Catskill Moun- tains. Wish You Were Here had a good- sized cast, one of the largest I have ever worked with. It was both challenging and exciting to work with that many people on stage, commented director Dianne Shrubsall. Five seniors and one junior headed the cast of 45. The remainder were waiters or in the chorus. It took a lot of hard work and there were times when you just wanted to quit. But after the show, you forget the pain and hard work and remember the laughter of the audience, concluded senior Angie Erwin. Girl problems are the topic of conversation be- tween Itchy Flexner (Telly Nakos) and Pinky Harris (Dave Lupke). Itchy gets a girl while Pin- ky is a loser. k fet november scene 17

Cadet Digest Cadets Give To Families Christmas is a time to share God ' s love through giving, which is exactly what each homeroom did. Twenty-six families were aided by the many gifts brought by members of each home- room. Each room brought in canned goods, clothing, toys, cookware, sheets, and other needed household items. Each family member was also provided with a new gift. One room was able to pro- vide their adopted family with a live Christmas tree and $200. Organizing clothing into sizes for the Christmas Bureau, seniors Michelle Weiss, Linda Chronis- ter, and sophomore Sue Scrogham work in the language lab to get things ready for the home- rooms. The Swap Shop was open for three days. Homerooms also helped each other out by taking extra clothing their fam- ilies couldn ' t use to the Swap Shop and traded for clothing that could be used. I liked having the Swap Shop in the language lab better than in the audito- rium lobby. The lab was closer to every- one and it helped having access to a lot of tables, commented senior Michelle Weiss, chairperson of the Christmas Bureau committee. I think this year everything went pretty well, but as usual, the last couple days got pretty hectic, said Michelle. All of the gifts were on their way to the disignated families on December 11. Illuminate I ' ve been waiting for a girl like you, faded out as the Christmas dance came to a close. The annual dance was held December 7 in the decorated main gym. Cou- ples danced to the music of the D.J. Vegas. Crystal and Candle- light was the chosen theme for the event. Senior Kim Baals was the chairman of the dance committee. The committee decorated the gym with balloons, stream- ers, and a candle on each table. Getting the dance orga- nized took a lot of time. I worked on decorating the gym for 1 1 hours on Satur- day. Seniors Angie Erwin and Sue Wakeland helped me out a lot. I couldn ' t have done it without them, com- mented Kim. Enjoying Crystal and Candelight couples dance lo the music of Vegas at the Christmas dance. Approximately 50 couples attended the event. cnc 19
