No Chow For Grapplers During the course of their sea- son, the wrestlers were re- quired to put themselves through many tiring practices and conditioning sessions. Since wrestling is based on a weight class system, weight control was one of the wrestler ' s most important responsi- bilities. There were many theories as to the best way to lose weight, and some wrestlers became experts at this. Junior John Klopsch found himself eight pounds overweight, but by skip- ping lunch and eating under 700 calo- ries daily, he lost that weight in only two weeks. By adhering to a weight watchers ' diet, which consisted mainly of diet foods and jello, senior J. P. Gen- tile was able to lose 1 8 pounds in a few weeks. After losing this weight, most wrestlers found it easier to keep their weight down, but there was still a large amount of willpower required. J.P. commented, Most people don ' t realize how much we have to go through to keep in a weight class; it can be the most demanding part of the sea- son. Trying to be exact, seniors Dave Doyle and J.P. Gentile weigh Kevin Selking before a wrestling match. January scene 21

Cadet Digest Rotarians Eat And Learn Thirteen seniors were honored as Junior Rotarians. The program began in October and contin- ued through the month of April. In October, the representative was Student Council President Telly Nakos. Other Rotarians chosen were seniors Bohn Popp, Michelle Weiss, Mike Moellering, Amanda Keltsch, Greg Goeglein, Angie Erwin, Dave Lupke, Melissa Gallant, Matt Thomas, Sharon Schamber, Paul Zilz, Heidi Mueller and Anne Hollman. February Junior Rotarian Amanda Keltsch leaves for a luncheon at the Chamber of Com- merce. Two students from Concordia were select- ed each month to attend Rotary meetings. Each month two students attended the Rotary luncheon on Mondays. On the first monday of the month, they ar- rived at 1 1:45 a.m. for a brief orienta- tion session. This helped them get ac-. quainted with the purpose of Rotary and their function as Rotarians of the Month. Being a Junior Rotarian gave me the opportunity to meet members of the business community and to learn about the Rotarian service organization, commented Melissa Gallant. I thought that it was an interesting exper- ience. I was really excited when I found out I ' d been chosen, stated Sharon Schamber. New Faces Greeted S econd semester brought two new faces to the faculty. They included Mr. Martin Moro and Mrs. Anita Cooper. Mr. Moro, a December graduate of Concordia Teachers College, Seward, Nebraska, accepted the call here to teach algebra, phys- ics, and computer topics. Moro said his goal for the semester is the goal of any first-year teacher — sur- vive! He added, I hope to get to know the students, to get a feeling for the subjects I ' m teaching and relate them to the students. Mrs. Cooper was not to- tally new to CLHS since she worked as a student teacher last spring under Mr. Phil Eschels. At the start of the semester, she took over the U.S. History classes taught by Mr. Jack Massucci dur- ing first semester. I enjoy teaching juniors, com- mented Mrs. Cooper. I feel they ' re the best class. □ • I Keeping her stu Concordia, Mrs assignment. people 23
