But perhaps the word extraordinary would characterize our school best. Concordia has been known for years for its high academic standards. Its stu- dents averaged higher SAT scores than any other school in Fort Wayne in 1982, and an unusually high percentage of Concordia graduates went on to col- lege. I believe that the basis for our high guality of edu- cation was the commitment of our teachers. They went above and beyond their duty and went out of their way to help and show con- cern for their students, ex- After winning the Great Liftoff booster ad sales contest, juniors Sandi VonDeylen and Rob Lucas anxiously await the take-off of their hot air balloon ride.

As the school year began, the student body was filled with a fresh, renewed spirit. This new life was made evident in the record par- ticipation in student council activities. Love One An- other, Serve One Another, the school ' s theme for the year, proved to be more than idle words as we saw members of our Concordia family sho wing concern for each other and picking each other up when they were down. An example of this was the new Peer Coun- seling program, in which stu- dent counselors took time to help other students with their problems. But Concordia High School was more than just a fine (continued on page 4) 2 opening theme With hopes of capturing a victory, a group of sophomores encourage their teammates during the Anything Goes Con- test.

In the chlldrens parade of the Three Rivers Festival junior Jana Goeglein portrays Rossy Rabbit . It was fun even though it was hot, and the kids tried to beat me up, in order to get suckers, stated Jana. Students found that life at Con- cordia meant more than going to classes. Classes were things to be endured while waiting for the week- ends. Cadets found special ways to spend their free time. Three partici- pated in the All-City Youth Sympho- ny. Others put in extra hours at school as peer counselors. The Band and Flag Squad members partici- pated in a marching contest, the first in several years. Friday mornings brought inspira- tion for the weekends in the form of prayer breakfasts. Awards highlighted the achieve- ments of many, as winners of the DAR Award, National Merit Finalists, Junior Rotarian, National Honor Soci- ety, and McMillen Awards were an- nounced. Once freshmen lived through initi- ation, they were no longer afraid to join in the fun as they took part in an occasional evening of teepeeing. Friendships grew as students at- tended parties and roamed the mall in search of the action. Record crowds at dances dem- onstrated the renewed enthusiasm for the year and the attempt to make improvements in all aspects of Cadet life. Cheering their class on to victory the soph- omores won the water obstacle course re- lay. This was the first year for this successful event. During a weekly Pow-Wow at Franke Park Day Camp, sophomore Tim Durnell portrays an Indian Brave.

Although most Concordia students were involved in school activities, some also found time to volunteer in the community. Senior Anne Buchholz participated in activities to benefit the Mental Health As- sociation by being a bunny in the Hug Booth at the United Way Fair. I really felt like I was doing some- thing for those kids, Buchholz said. Other students involved in community work were Quinton Dixie and Jana Goeglein, who went to a Volunteerism-Opportu- nity for Leadership Service Semi- nar, and Coleen Henkelmann and Dan Hauschiid, who attended a seminar sponsored by Dick Lugar. These seminars dealt with prob- lems such as drug and alcohol abuse and abortion. I hope that After school senior Sue Hathaway works as a volunteer at a child care center. In preparation for his performance with the Philharmonic, senior Mike Kleinschmidt plays for a choir rehearsal. what we ' ve learned will benefit Concordia in the future, said ju- nior Quinton Dixie. Another student involved in the community was senior Michael Kleinschmidt. He performed twice with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and also volunteered as a disc jockey at classical-jazz radio sta- tion WBNI. Kleinschmidt said, It ' s helped me to get known around town. It ' s also been helpful on col- lege applications. Students also helped the com- munity by volunteering at Park- view Ho spital. Lisa Bultemeier and Gretchen Walther volunteered as Nursettes. They did errands for the nurses most of the time. It ' s just little things that we do, but it saves the nurses time, said Bulte- meier. 8 community As a C.I.T. at Franke Park Day Camp during the summer, sophomore John Wallace stands guard as the council fire is lit during a weekly Pow-Wow.

With this spirit, the good times rolled. The week began with Formal Day, which gave teachers a rare view of students in their best attire. Mr. Don Luepke said, I like to see the people really looking spiffy. Masquerade Day confused the student body because at times they couldn ' t recognize the per- sons behind the strange masks. The traditional 50s and Nerd Day made some act uncommonly with clash- ing clothes, horn rimmed glasses, and nerdy behavior. The dress up days got everybody motivated to get into the act of Homecoming, sophomore Bill Dickmeyer said. The weekday celebrating end- ed with an inspiring pep session highlighted by Doo Wa Diddy, a skit by the cheerleaders in which they caricatured the football team. The excitement before the game caused some students to let go of their maroon and white bal- loons before they were supposed to. Coronation at halftime present- ed the new queen, Michele Dixie, and king, Erik Preus. In spite of their spirit and effort, the team was defeated by the South Side Archers 20-0. The king and queen and their court enjoyed the first dance at the Homecoming Dance on Satur- day night, the finale to an exciting week. A record number of stu- dents and alumni attended to let the good times roll in the tropical paradise set up in the main gym. The Student Lounge provides a place to show off costumes on Masquerade Day, as seniors Kris Trygg and Kelly Simerman are do- ing.

Laura Burger lights the bonfire as a few sen- iors look on. Shoveling their mouths full of pizza, seniors Jody Beck and Don Rodenbeck strive for first place in the pizza eating contest. In the final outcome, the juniors won. Racing down the track freshman Julie Strat- ton heads toward the barrel at the far end of the coarse in the wagon push. The junior class took first place in this event. In the golfball relay, junior Mike Strasen and senior Krista Macke prepare to dive for a golfball as they run toward the sawdust pile. Anything ' Really Goes ' Rivalry and competition grew intense. Hunger to be number one was upon each Cadet ' s face. Bellowing chants inspired teammates to go for a victory. The fan support was better and the students were rowdier than previous years. My friends were excited and I could really sense individual class support, said junior Claire Lahey. The Anything Goes Competi- tion consisted of ten events, five of them new to the contest. Teams not only had to chug Pepsi from baby bottles, but eat hot pizza as quickly as they could. Searching through the mound of sawdust proved an insur- mountable task for some as they slipped and fell on the treacher- ous tarp. Mr. Don Luepke encoun- tered difficulty as the contents of his baby bottle ran down the front of his shirt. The confusion in the water relay looked like a Lau- rel and Hardy movie, said junior Susan Dunton. Blisters appeared quickly on the hands of tug-o-war contestants. I was in the wheelbarrow race because I thought it would be fun and exciting, said freshman Lisa Stuart. The wagon race was ex- citing for junior Tammy Reed as she found herself dumped on the ground. The third annual event began with a parade led by the band from school to the parking area near the tennis courts where the bonfire was rising high in the air. As a spectator, Jeff Thompson felt the evening was a great op- portunity for students to get to- gether. I don ' t think it could have been any better, he said. 12 anything goes Starting her turn around the track, sopho- more Jennifer Parrott concentrates on get- ting first place in the bicycle race.

Concordia teens devel- oped their own personal standards for fashion. Senior Kassie Simerman like to wear clothes for whatever moods struck me. I like to dress in between a preppy and a slob, said junior Dave Moellering. What were the main fashions? The preppy look more than any- thing else, said sophomore Jenni- fer McMillen. Telly Nakos thought people were starting to dress up more. Black and white or the tuxedo look, Jennifer Parrott said. Being in fashion was very impor- tant to many Cadets. It ' s impor- tant how you dress. It communi- cates to people, said Cathy Ma- lott. To other students it was not. I don ' t think its the most important thing, but it ' s more comfortable, sophomore Sarah Owen said. Most students felt that being in style could be very expensive. For a season like fall-winter, it can cost around $1000, senior Kellie Franke said. Were teens willing to spend the money? I was if I had the money, said freshman Chris Newby. It was often troublesome, so why did teens follow trends? It ' s what the stores are selling, said senior Jeff Williams. Malott felt people at school put on the pressure to dress fashion- ably. Style, or fashion, was more than just the clothes, though. It ' s the clothes that match the personality of that person, said Nakos. An Important fashion statement this sea- son is ' borrowed from the boys, ' said junior Maureen Butler. In the Japanese Gardens Kim Miller, Scott Newby, and Libby Ferguson model city chic and the rugged look.

Having a job let me have some spending money and a chance to do something on my own, said junior Tina Salyer, an Atz ' employee. I worked about 18-20 hours a week including weekends, com- mented senior Steve Horine, who worked at Rogers in Times Cor- ners. Having a job made me feel good about myself, but it some- times got to be a drag. Most of the students who worked liked having the responsi- bility and enjoyed the money it brought in, but sometimes it inter- fered with their social lives. Claire Lahey, junior, employee of Tater Junction in Glenbrook said, I didn ' t have as much free time, but if there was something spe- cial like a dance, I would usually change my work schedule. My employer was really good about that. Sophomore Brett King worked at the Health Food Shoppe. I could always be doing other things when I had to work. It seemed like all the fun things hap- pened when I was working, he said. Cadets held a wide variety of jobs — everything from cashier to lifeguard to hardware store clerk to carryout in a grocery store to messenger for a law firm to pizza maker. Senior Jon Cordes, a por- ter at Hillcrest Bowl said, I emp- tied ashtrays, swept floors, picked up bottles, and fixed bowling pins when they were out of place. Regardless what the job, the extra money seemed to make it worthwhile for most students. All I do with my money is buy clothes, put gas in the car, and put about $50 in the bank after each pay- check, senior Kris Trygg said. 16 part-time jobs Cleaning the dishes at the Hobby Rancy House, senior Greg Smith displays a main duty of busboy.

Holiday Lifts Cadet Spirits ehristmas activities brought friends closer through Christian fel- lowship. First hour classes were occasionally delayed because of parties, door decorating, and the organizing of clothes and gifts for Christmas Bureau families, Colorful red and green outfits were seen on the day of t he Christmas assembly. Freshman Karen Fortmeyer commented, The assembly got us excited about Christmas even though we had three days of school left. Christmas was a time of giving, and Band Director Paul Wills, and Choir Director Robert Vogel con- tributed their time preparing for the Christmas Concerts. They re- hearsed with their groups, de- signed the program, and did nu- merous other jobs such as paint- ing the shell and decorating the auditorium. All of the hard work paid off, however, and the attendance for the concerts was conserva- tively 1600 people, according to Mr. Wills. My greatest joy was sensing the desire of my band members to provide a great musical presentation, he com- mented. The last day of school in 1982 was Christmas at Concordia. In the traditional service, which was videotaped for shut-ins. Rev. Ron Stelzer gave the message with the theme of The reason for the Season. The service was held in the festively decorated chapel and shown on Channel 33 on Christmas day. With an Old Fashioned Christ- mas as its theme, the Christmas Dance was attended by over a hundred couples. Lamp posts shed light over the scene with benches, Christmas trees, and even a bridge providing the old fashioned atmosphere. Unlike most school dances, this was a couples — only event. It was nice to go out as a couple be- cause there weren ' t very many ' couple-ish ' activities, stated freshman Kolleen Macke. 18 christmas Christmas 19 Behind the scenes.

The cast of the fall musical, Babes in Arms, be- came very close, like a big fam- ily, said junior Donna Kleinsch- midt. Not only did they become good friends behind the scenes but also on the stage. They were united in their fight to save the Surf and Sand Playhouse for their friend Bunny (Jenny Murphy), Director Miss Dianne Shrubsall said, It ' s neat to sit back and watch people grow close. As in the previous years, the cast had secret pals to whom they sent presents through Student Ser- vices. It really didn ' t bother me that much, I thought it was neat that the kids did it. It really got their spirit up for the musical, said Mrs. Nancy Murphy, secretary in Student Services. However, some of the faculty were upset be- cause of the number of class in- terruptions to deliver presents. It was a disturbance but I didn ' t mind as much since it didn ' t hap- pen everyday, stated Mrs. Linda Schwartz, English teacher. 20 fall play w Showing their stuff.

It was a nation-wide organization. It made colleges look twice at my application. I was gualified for many scholar- ships because of NHS. From comments like these, it was easy to see that National Honor So- ciety was beneficial to the 27 sen- iors who were members. But what exactly was National Honor Society? According to spon- sor Mr. Don Luepke, it was one of the major things considered by col- leges. Scholarships were a part of it, but it was also a social activity. The group initially got together to elect officers: President Brenda Ed- wards, Vice President Deanna Payne, Secretary Matt Springer, and Treasurer Heidi Kruckeberg. They discussed scholarships based on leadership, scholarship, charac- ter, and service, and planned ac- Although the work was difficult, the reward of being in NHS and the feeling of pride was worth it all. tivities and fundraising projects. However, to be eligible for the benefits of NHS, seniors had to put forth effort. The members were se- lected from the top 15 percent of the senior class. According to Sheela Bathina, You had to work all through high school. It wasn ' t just a one year job. President Brenda Edwards felt that although the work was diffi- cult, the reward of being in NHS and the feeling of pride was worth it all.

High Scorers Honored What was the one thing juniors dreaded, especially if they were college-bound? The PSAT NMSQT. The test, which was given to over one million juniors, was a prepara- tion for the SAT and the qualifier for those interested in being a National Merit Scholar. Out of all the juniors who took the test, only those scoring in the top one percent were eligible to be se- mifinalists, Of these, about 90 per- cent became finalists. Finalists were eligible for college scholarships ranging from $250-1000 a year. In addition to scholarships, most schools were willing to put forth an extra effort for finalists. Finalist Diana Harroun felt that colleges were a lot more interested in having you go there. I got information from many schools who knew I was a finalist, said Matt Springer. According to Guidance Counsel- or Mr. Carl Gallmeier, if you were interested in being a semif inalist or just in doing well on the PSAT, the best advice was to read everyth- ing about it, and prepare for the math. National Merit finalist Matt Springer and Diana Harroun agree that doing well on the PSAT and SAT takes preparation. Cadet Major Receives Award For the second time in Concordia history, a Cadet received the Le- gion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. The recipient of this prestigious award was Cadet Major Annette Helmke. Chosen by the Na- tional Adjutant Legion of Valor, Helmke was selected from a field of 3562 other cadets nationwide. The award was presented on the basis of Helmke ' s academic and leadership excellence. It specifically honors her work in the Fort Wayne flood of ' 82. A Cadet is not nominated every year; therefore the award was un- expected by Helmke when she re- ceived it at a pep session. Surprise was too mild a word for what I felt. I was shocked, said Helmke. Cadet Major Annette Helmke proudly re- ceives her award from a representative of the Legion of Valor. academics 23 The cafeteria took on a new look with the addition of family style tables. Prayers Aid Hiromi When Hiromi Shindo joined Con- cordia in September as an ex- change student, she had great hopes of enjoying an American education, making new friends, and becoming an English interpreter in her native country of Japan. But on November 23, Hiromi ' s dreams were shattered when a drunk driver crossed the center line on St. Joe Road and ran into the car in which Hiromi and her American parents , Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Henkel- mann were riding. Hiromi was taken to Parkview hospital in critical condi- tion with severe head injuries, requir- ing brain surgery. Thanks to the prayers of hundreds Faculty Evaluates Objectives Preparation began last fall for the North Central Evaluation which will take place during the 1983-1984 school year. It will be a complete evaluation of the school ' s programs and activities based on the philos- ophies and objectives of the school, as well as the requirements set by North Central. The process of evaluation can be very valuable, but much hard work is required in preparing for it, said Mr. Paul Buetow. On days when students had early dismissal, the teachers spent many hours in committee meetings, eval- uating all aspects of the school and making recommendations for im- provements. Peer Counselors Pachele Dixie. Sue Braun, and Laura Burger discuss their counseling techniques during a t r ainmg session. of people, Hiromi came out of her coma in December and began to regain her ability to walk, speak, and to remember, although she re- membered nothing of the accident. She was finally released from the hospital on January 24. Hiromi ' s parents and aunt were brought to Fort Wayne by contribu- tions from several local individuals and organizations including over $8,000 raised by Concordia ' s stu- dent body. After Junior Hiromi Shindo, an exchange stu- dent from Japan, was critically injured in a traffic accident, we witnessed the power of prayer in her miraculous recovery. 24 schooi scene Digest IrUUTlL- C i Peer Ministry Debuts Peer Ministry introduced a new concept in counseling. CLHS was one of two schools chosen by the Indiana District to begin such a pro- gram. To get it started, Mr. Terry Breininger attended a two-week seminar in St. Louis. Peer counselors were chosen upon his return. I chose a broad spectrum of students, ones that I thought would be able to easily start relationships with other stu- dents, who were looked up to by their peers, and students I thought would benefit from the exper- ience, stated Breininger. The group of eleven counselors was made up of juniors and seniors. We had a week-long workshop during the summer where we learned how to ask the ' right ' ques- tions, how to listen, and how to get to the root of a problem, stated junior Natalie Dowden. We had a workshop where we learned how to ask the ' right ' questions, how to listen, and how to get to the root of the problem. Counselees were matched up with a peer counselor by Breininger and guidance counselor Carl Gall- meier. It was then up to the students when and how often they met. When my counselee was going through some rough times, we met once a week, said senior Phil Schult. Not only did their knowledge help them in counselor-counselee rela- tionships, it also helped them in everyday life. Senior Matt Piekarski said, I ' m pretty shy and it made it easier for me to open up with other people. Peer Counselors: FRONT ROW: K. Trygg, N. Dowden, L Burger, R. Dixie. J. Goeglein.

Hitting the top spot for 1982 was Eye of the Tiger by Suvivor, the theme song for the movie Rocky III. John Cougar and Bruce Spring- steen were voted Best Vocal Per- formers with songs like Jack and Diane, Hurts So Good, and the album Nebraska. New wave music was a big craze with groups like The Stray Cats with Rock This Town, The Clash with Rock the Casbah, A Flock of Sea- gulls with I Ran, and Duran Duran with Hungry Like a Wolf. Some of their popularity was due to a new video attraction, MTV. MTV stands for music television where all of the songs are either filmed live or are made into short video programs to MTV Is greatl I enjoy it because you can watch TV and listen to the radio at the same time. go with the song. It ' s shown on ca- ble channel 32. MTV is great! I enjoy it because you can watch TV and listen to the radio at the same time, said soph- omore Lisa Bearman. Concert goers were very pleased with the performers who came to Fort Wayne. Among the groups who appeared were Van Halen, a sell- out concert; Billy Squire; John Cou- gar, for the free flood concert; Ju- das Priest; REO speedwagon; and Hall and Oates.

E.T. Steals Hearts The biggest movie hit of 1982 was E.T. , which starred a fictional character from outerspace who was accidently left on Earth. Elliot, an earthling boy befriended E.T. and hid him in his closet. Another hit was An Officer and a Gentleman starring Richard Gere as Zach Mayo, a future pilot, and Debra Winger, as Paula Porifki, a factory worker. This movie was a touching story about two people who tried not to fall in love, but did. One of the more popular films of the season, Tootsie, starred Dustin Hoffman as Michael Dorsey and Dorothy Michaels. Michael Dorsey disguised himself as a woman and got an acting job on a soap opera. Other hit movies were Rocky III starring Sylvester Stalone, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Verdict starring Paul Newman. My favorite movie was ' Kiss Me Goodbye ' with Sally Fields because it was a different kind of story and it was really interesting, said junior Robin Milakovic. Cuddling a lovable E.T. doll, freshman Lisa Linnemeier displays one of the by-products of the hit movie. i M A S H Memories Preserved Starting the television season with high ratings was Square Pegs, a program about two high school freshmen trying to fit in with the high school social standards. Other popular shows among Ca- dets were Remmington Steel, Family Ties, It Takes Two, Sat- urday Night Live, with Eddie Mur- phy, Silver Spoons, Knight Rider and the old favorites, M A S H and Dallas. M A S H ended its television career after 1 1 years, with a two- hour special which was aired on February 28. But the memories lin- gered as reruns continued through- out the season, and will for years to come. Oblivious to everything around them, Mike Strassen, Ross Toenges, and Fred Schroeder hear only what ' s coming from their walk men. entertainment 27 Trying to keep away from Kong, junior Eric Waltenberg entertains himself with his home video Colecovision. I New Wave Sets Style With the snip of the scissors and the twist of a brush, it starts to take its form. Feathering the sides, mak- ing hair stand on end, and giving a poofy effect to the crown of the head was what it took to create a punk hairstyle. Copying the styles of their idol singers such as Olivia Newton John, the Go Go ' s, or Rod Stewart, teen- agers became part of the punk hairstyle syndrome. Some students used this trend to help identify with themselves. But whatever the case, one thing was sure; the new funka- delic trend had arrived. Two people who wore the most extreme punk hairstyles at Concor- dia were junior Dawn Bohnke and senior J.R. Roemke. I was sick of my old hairstyle and I wanted to be in with the times, commented Bohnke. When I first got my hair cut, I didn ' t go to an extreme punk hair- style. I just gradually got it cut shorter, said Roemke. Along with the hairstyles went the wardrobe. The hairstyle didn ' t change my personality as a person but I had to change my clothing to fit my new look. said Bohnke. Senior J.R. Roemke and junior Dawn Bohnke display the latest in new wave hairstyles. i Addicts Indulge In Video Games Attacking the machines with brute bodily force, addicted video players poked buttons while simulta- neously grasping levers. Viewing the colorful objects within the screen, the video player attempted to vis- ciously demolish his opponent. It was a challenging attempt to better your own score, said junior Neal Godfrey. Neal spent approxi- mately three hours every weekend at the arcades. Missy Joy also indulged in the vid- eo world. She enjoyed playing Tem- pest, Frogger, and Centipede, among other favorites. I won 97 tokens a month for a year from 97 FM in the Stick It and Win ' contest, explained Missy, so her addiction didn ' t cost her a penny.

Fort Wayne area residents sent in thousands of letters begging Har- vester to keep the Fort Wayne plant open and close down rival Springfield, Ohio ' s plant. Commeri- cals were shown on local television, and much money and benefits were promised. In spite of all of this, Har- vester chose to keep the Springfield plant and close down Fort Wayne ' s. Once a major source of employ- ment in Fort Wayne, Harvester em- ployed 10,600 people. By last July, they had only 3,700 workers left.

Curfew Aids Crackdown The city of Fort Wayne started to shape itself up in 1982. Citizens for Decency for example, pickedted theaters who showed X-rated or pornographic movies. In addition. Fort Wayne ' s police started a crackdown on drunk dri- vers and issued a curfew for people under the age of 18. I felt that the laws were fair. The curfew made the police ' s joP ea- sier, to not have so many people out late at night, said senior Anne Evanson. I hoped the curfew would do some good, but I didn ' t know if Fort Wayne had that many prob- lems with kids. Even so, I wished the police could have nabbed every drunk driver there was. Sophomore Regina Moorhead said, The law should have had a good effect on the safety of the people. I though that kids though twice about staying out late and most obeyed, but there were those who didn ' t.

Mayor Win Moses Jr. led a group of community leaders in trying to convince the All-America Cities Award Jury that Fort Wayne should be considered in the contest. Fort Wayne officially became one of at least six All-America Cities on February 18. The designation was expected to be beneficial to the city ' s economic development efforts. It was impor- tant that an impartial, non-partisan group said Fort Wayne was unique and special in these ways, said Mayor Moses.

Beginnings And Endings Inflation: Nation-Wide Epidemic A cooling in inflation to five per- cent and cuts in federal income taxes enabled Americans to get ahead in terms of real, spendable pay. However, the average United States worker did not quite break even. The biggest losers were steel- workers, meatpackers, and makers of non-electrical machinery, mainly due to a lack of demand. This result- ed in a loss of hours and cuts in pay. Some came out ahead, though, like workers for the petroleum indus- try, aircraft workers, and people benefiting from some federal pro- grams. The nation, which was grateful for a drop in inflation, continued to hope unemployment would fall be- low 10.8 percent under President Reagan ' s programs. Comparing prices at a local store, seniors Stephanie Phares and Brenda Edwards are shocked by the high inflation, as are all Ameri- can citizens As all good sports years are, 1982- 83 was a time of beginnings and endings, a year of sudden occur- rences and unexpected events. Among the new beginnings was the birth of the United States Foot- ball League. This new league began in spring, providing the nation with year-round football. Another first was the eight week National Foot- ball League players strike for higher pay. Along with the fresh starts, Cadets witnessed the end of several great careers. Tennis superstar Bjorn Borg In the 1982 play-off game against Tampa Bay, Dallas ' running-back Tony Dorsett runs for 1 10 yards leading the Cowboys to victory. retired from the American circuit. Korean boxer Duk Koo Kim was killed in a championship fight with Boom- Boom Mancini. Sugar Ray Leonard retired early due to an eye injury. Head coach Paul Bear Bryant of Alabama died suddenly of a heart attack shortly after retiring. The year was also full of surprises with victory for the St. Louis Cardi- nals at the World Series and a Red- skins victory over Miami at Super Bowl XVII. All in all the year delighted, sad- dened, and thrilled fans of all sports. Said junior Phil Bercot, It was an ex- citing year, one full of contrast. I never lost interest. .; ' - ' • ' v -; What ' s New In ' 82-83 According to President Ronald Reagan, The nation was on the mend. However, the American people still worried about the econ- omy. By November about 12 million workers were without jobs and inter- est rates went as high as 20 per- cent. As the year progressed, though, Reagan ' s policies appeared to be somewhat effective with inflation slowing to around five percent and the prime lending rate dropping to 11.5 percent. The continuing conflict in the Mid- dle East was another cause for con- cern, especially the Israeli-PLO war in Lebanon and the civilians mas- sacred in Beirut refugee camps. The nation was shocked when seven people died after swallowing cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules.

Americans also mourned the deaths of several favorite film stars. Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco was killed in an auto accident. Henry Fonda died at 77 and Ingrid Berg- man at 67. And 33 year old comedi- an John Belushi died suddenly of natural causes, though there was rumor of drug abuse. The nation was struck with a strange fad when Deely Bobbers had young and old sprouting anten- nae. Americans continued to lose themselves in video games and a world of computer technology.

De- finately! said Mr. Chris Geischen, di- rector of Toybox Theatre. I enjoy seeing something that the students and I put so much work into come off so well. Gieschen ' s duties went beyond the direction of this year ' s produc- tion of Hansel and Gretel , as he found it necessary to rewrite the ending.

Students who participated in the production on February 12 and 19 had to make a firm commitment. We had to be at all practices and learn all of our lines, but it was all worth it because I love to make kids laugh, said sophomore Kathy Huebschman (Gretel). We all learned so much about acting; how to project our voices, how to take constructive criticsm, and how to work with other peo- ple, commented junior Eric Mason (Hansel). Fighting It out to the finish, juniors Susan Dun- ton and Jeff Nielson sing Anything You Can Do.

Mem- bers took on the special challenge of raising money for the Nuestros Pe- quenos Hermanos Orphanage in Mexico. They raised $2000 at the first annual Spanish Banquet. Members of the Lu-Hi Voice and the Luminarian gave up many after- school hours and Saturdays in order to complete their publications. Band and Choir members pre- pared themselves for their tours and their annual ISSMA contests held in the Spring. As a part of Cadet Life, organiza- tions gave students the chance to learn more about their particular areas of interest, as well as the op- portunity to become involved at CLHS in ways other than just attend- ing classes.

Student Council Plans Entertainment There were many things which most Cadets took for granted: the carnival. Homecoming activities, dances, and the MORP. Not many realized who was responsible for the extras in Cadet life. Student Council deserved most of the credit. With over 50 members led by President Telly Nakos, Vice President Rachele Dixie, Secretary Krista Lewis, and Treasurer Jack DeHaven, the Student Council came up with clever ideas and made sure activities ran smoothly. One new idea was secret pals. Members of Student Council were assigned an administrator or faculty member to whom they sent special notes and small gifts throughout the year. The purpose was to remind them that we ' re thankful for them, commented Telly Nakos. Other ideas were a catered dinner for the MORP, a Touch of Class day, and other new dress up days during Home- coming. Student Council also decided to take steps for self-im- provement. They brought out their constitution, written in 1976, appointed a committee, and decided to do some revising. We had fallen more and more away from it each year. We had to change it or ourselves, said Jack DeHa- ven. Advisor Mr. Fred Weiss felt that it was just a matter of up- dating it.

Cadets were required to find ways to raise funds. Some sold candybars, M M ' s, suckers, jewelry, cheese, sausage, or fruit, while others held banquets or jog-a- thons. Sophomore Lu-Hi reporter Mi- chelle Buetow was often frustrated in her fundraising, Nobody would buy any spirit buttons, so we sold them as lethal weapons.

They had holes and rips in really bad places. We always had to sew buttons on and repair the rips, and they were either too big or too short. I ' m really glad that we ' re getting new uniforms. We really needed them, said junior Natalie Dowden. Getting the money for the expensive uniforms was the biggest problem, The company that the groups were buying from said the cost was going to be close to $25,000, and the band and pom-pon members had to raise all of the money. Band uniforms cost about $200 each. The band boosters raised $500 by selling garbage bags, and several band members gave $100 donations. Pom-pon girls raised money by selling M 8c M ' s and having carwashes. The groups also used the $6,434.42 from the cheese and sau- sage fund raiser, and the $5,604.53 from the citrus fruit sales, and the $1645.00 from donations. This brought the total to $13,683.95, and Aid Association for Lutherans matched the school for $12,217.80. This brought the grand total to $25,901.75. They had enough money to purchase the 90 uniforms. We were really glad to see the response the school and students made helping to raise the money for the uniforms, said band treasurer, junior Bryan Meyer. Picking out the uniforms took a lot of time, said band director Mr. Paul Wills, I designed them with the help of other band directors, suggestions from students, and com- pany ideas. It took a lot of work, but it was well worth it.

' izattons FCA Grows In Fellowship With Christ Offering a means of growth in Christ, providing an informal atmo- sphere, allowing students to express themselves and grow in Christian re- lationships with each other were the many benefits of Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes. (FCA) Starting last year, the group ex- panded to include all people inter- ested in their own spiritual welfare. Students attending the meet- ings are people searching to find the right way and people who have a need for fellowship with other Christians, explained Dave Moeller- ing, vice president of Boys FCA. During a meeting we begin with some singing and then we an- nounce plans for future meetings. After the announcements a special speaker addresses the group for the evening, said Kim Dettmer, presi- dent of Girls FCA. Highlighting the year were week- end retreats, summer camps, and conventions. The first annual Jog-a- thon raised over $1200. God wants FCA to be a success, the people pray for us, and the kids want it, commented Pastor Ron Stelzer, who organized the group. Three things keep FCA going: The Holy Spirit, student leaders who come up with ideas, and teachers who care enough to put time into it. That ' s what makes us a success, explained Mr. Chris Gieschen. As part of the FCA Jog-a-thon, Dave Moel- lering, Fred Nash, and Terry Rybolt jog 6 1 4 miles to raise money for summer camp.

However, during the last few years there had been a decline in student participation in clubs. One reason, according to guid- ance counselor Carl Gallmeier, was that students had been putting in longer hours of work in after-school jobs. Other reasons were the difficulty some Cadets had in finding rides to and from meetings and increased involvement in athletics. While membership in most clubs was down, one club didn ' t meet. Future Business Leaders of America was not active due to a lack of in- terest. Students were concerned about the declining number of Cadets ac- tive in clubs. Sophomore Anne Stalder commented, If you weren ' t in a club, you miss ed a big part of the Concordia atmosphere.

This group performed for both of the Christmas Concerts, the Snowdaze concert, in various churches, and at church meetings. Singers was a very inspirational group to be in, at least for me, because everyone who was involved really en- joyed singing and were willing to commit time outside of school to use the talents that God had given them, said junior Jeff Nielsen. Over half of the A cappella choir consisted of new mem- bers, sophomores to seniors. Each choir member sold Choir albums, candles, and candy in order to help raise the funds needed to take the choir to Washington, DC. on spring tour. A cappella performed for the WAFX morning talk show at One Summit Square, over closed circuit television at St. Joe Hospital, Lincoln National Bank, and for the arrival of Santa Clause at the City County Building. I feel that the choir has moved farther into more complex music than last year, said director Robert Vogel. For the first time, the A cappella choir performed a Bach Cantada, and music for antiphonal (double) choir. They also entered the ISSMA vocal contest in the spring. I en- joyed being in choir because it was a pleasant escape from the normal school routine, because you could actively par- ticipate instead of constantly listening to teachers talk at you, commented senior Christy Strasser. During Christmas at Concordia, Mr. Vogel leads the A Cappella choir in the traditional Christmas piece, Hodie.

Please don ' t assign that for this weekend, I have a term paper due for Mr. Jordan on Mon- day, several English O. and Literary Interpretation students pleaded si- lently during their other classes. These Cadets spent hours research- ing every nook and cranny of the — = library in search of the appropriate ' materials. Creators let their imaginations run wild as they produced their own magazines, sculptures, gourmet dishes, paintings, and publications. Experimenters lived in the never- ending fear of who was going to be the first person to blow up the Chemistry lab. Performers spent their extra hours preparing themselves. Some used time before school tromping around the main gym floor, trying to perfect their routines. No matter what the case was, whether it was researching or creat- ing. Cadets found themselves bud- geting their time in order to com- plete assignments. Some Cadets were even overheard whispering among themselves, Can you be- lieve that he stayed home from school just to finish a paper for Mr. Jordan? Concentrating on his project, junior Mark Goeglein works diligently during drafting class.

Creative Writing class assigned unigue projects. Junior Joy Scheele said, We made a poetry book that helped me learn all about different types of poetry. Another pro- ject involved the production of a magazine in which stu- dents compiled their own short stories, poems, and adver- tisements. Creative Writing helped me express my feelings and moods, said junior Joel Bunkowske. Art classes also provided ways to express creativity. Still lifes were the subject matter for paintings in Art Survey. Drawing student Robin Milakovic said, We made a booklet of 20 pages based on one subject which contained differ- ent materials and forms of art. We also worked on surreal- ism, stated Jeff Inge. This is difficult to do because you place an object in an unreal environment. Photographers on the Lu-Hi Voice and Luminarian staffs had the chance express their creativity through the many pictures they took, developed and printed. Several photos were entered in the Scholastic Art Competition in January. Foods classes whipped up what they considered real works of art. Our group baked a three layer butter cake for the first time, and it turned out really well, said junior Margie Woodard. In fourth hour drawing class, stu- dents page through an album of pictures, to decide which photo- graphs to draw. Brainstorming during a Saturday Luminarian Workshop, sophomore Cheryl Engebrecht works on creat- ing a caption. creating 63 I liked trying to prove something I ' d been assuming since the third grade. — Yvonne Brunow FORMULATE Following Equations Leads To Success y=mx + b d=rt These equations and others like them were often heard in the classrooms at Concordia. Though they sometimes bog- gled the minds of students, more often the were helpful. They served as the foundations for the problems, said algebra teacher Mr. Don Reinking. Formulas and equations played a main part in many sci- ence and mathematics classes. Physics teacher Mr. Martin Moro said, We used formulas to predict many results. Most students appreciated either the short-cuts or the challenges offered by equations. I liked trying to prove something I ' d been assuming since the third grade, com- mented sophomore Yvonne Brunow, a geometry student. Aside from the obvious classes, formulas were also impor- tant to classes such as home economics. A recipe or pattern was really a formula. You had to follow the direc- tions carefully to get the correct result, said Mrs. Ruth VonDeylen. Formulas, too, could be applied to almost any aspect of Concordia life. According to Principal Guenther Herzog, the correct formula for a school was one that would seek motivated students, engage competent and dedicated teachers and administrators, have supportive parents and patrons, offer a sound curriculum and a balance of co- curricular activities, and provide a climate where learning can take place. 64 forrnulating In home economics, sophomore Janeen Houtz measures carefully before pinning a ruffle on her skirt.

Faith Mar- riage and Family prepared senior Mark Stebbe by giving me a more realistic view — not a sugar-coated view of marriage, like the financial part of it. I think the class was valuable to take because it really showed you what life was going to be like — what the real world was really like. Students were prepared for their relationships with other people. Learning the skills of leadership was stressed in JROTC. The underclassmen were preparing for their senior year, when they would be in charge, and the seniors were learning the leadership abilities that they would use after graduation. Home economics helped us learn more about cooking and working in the kitchen, said sophomore Michelle Mot- ter, Sewing helped us make the most of our clothes and taught us how to help save money in the future. Some other classes assisted in preparing for jobs, such as secretarial training. Senior Carla Bruick took the course to complete the things I learned previously and to help me get a job this summer. It helps to know a little more about the office. It will be something to fall back on. Math for Life and Consumer Math tau ght students how to handle their money in the real world.

Though experimenting played an important role in these classes, it was present in many others too. One such class was home economics. We tried lots of new foods that we ' d never had before. I can cook dinner by myself, said sophomore Carol Wingfield. Another area where there was experimentation was the Lu-Hi Voice. We used smaller lines and screening more often to ' pull things off the page ' and grab the readers ' attention, said editor Annette Helmke. Did the new style catch on? According to Helmke, Many people commented on it. They liked it. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it. Most students felt that experiments of all types were worth the time and effort. When you got to see an experi- ment happen, it helped you remember it, commented chemistry student Becky Saalfrank. Experiments were definitely an aid to understanding, physics student Jim Keller said. Besides being fun and beneficial for students, experi- ments also helped the teachers. Mr. Jon Anderson, chemis- try teacher, explained, I used them to illustrate the princi- ples we talked about. They added interest. 68 experimenting Looking through the microscope at his biology experiment, sopho- more Dan Draughon analyzes the specimen with Jon Anderson.

Drill- ing on Mondays during their designated class hours, JROTC Cadets practiced for their performance as a battalion of 114 for the annual AFI Inspection. Drill teams formed from the battalion competed against other schools, and brought home several awards for their performances. Before a meet, I worried about myself and each of the people I commanded. I had to check uniforms and make sure all of the little things were taken care of, said senior Dan Hahn, Snap Squad commander. We worked hard during our practice time to memorize words and parts so that we performed well, said senior Laura Pifer of the a cappella choir. The group spent many hours rehearsing for their performances at churches, the City County Building for the official arrival of Santa, One Summit Square for radio station WAFX, and here at Concor- dia. Being in band required a lot of self-disipline and determi- nation. Preparing to perform in their first marching contest in several years, band members gave up their last week of summer vacation and several Wednesday evenings to practice and perfect their show. Getting ready for their New York tour in March also took many hours of practice. Band takes a lot of hard work. Even though we practice during school to get ready for contests and concerts, we have to practice at home too, said sophomore Dave Kuker. Playing field hockey, Girls gym class shows their skills after many days of practice. Concentrating on his music, senior Dave McDonald gets ready for an upcoming performance. performing 7 1 We compared the Lutheran Church to the Catholic Church to find the differences. — Llbby An- derson RESEARCH Exploration Unlocks New Discoveries Digging through books for information, cutting out maga- zine articles, interviewing students and even outsiders were all a part of researching. Cadets found out quickly it took much effort to prepare the research paper or booklet. In Challenge of Self-Aware- ness, students not only had to locate informaton on a ca- reer in written materials, but also had to shadow some- one in that career. Junior Quinton Dixie, for example, inter- viewed the concierge at the Holiday Inn. Even the yearbook staff had to do research. I had to look at what others had done in the latest layout styles, said assistant editor Jana Goeglein. Copy writers had to dig for information in order to make their copy unique to 1983. English Orientation classes were caught up in the last minute rush of finishing term papers. Some students discov- ered it was necessary to not only miss sleep but school in order to finish in time. As an independent study course. Humanities allowed stu- dents to research art, music and literature for different per- iods of history based on their own interests. Comparative Christinary involved studying other religions. We compared the Lutheran Church to the Catholic Church to find the differences. We went to their church services and compared them with ours, said junior Libby Anderson. f 72 researching Perfecting her research paper for Jordan ' s English Orientation class, Laura Pifer gives her rough copy one last check.

CLHS prided itself on having one of the most complete foreign language programs in the area. According to Mr. Paul Buetow, teacher of Latin, I doubt there is a public school in the state that offered as much for so few stu- dents. Concordia offered four years of four foreign lan- guages, including Latin, French, German and Spanish. A main attraction was the addition of Spanish. Students took advantage of this with the highest enrollment of the four first-year classes. French was characterized by new texts for first-year stu- dents and texts for advanced classes for the first time. Students were given more of an opportunity to improve in areas of weakness by doing additional work, French teacher Sandra Tucker commented. Still another area involved translating. Students in com- puter classes had to convert English into computer com- mands. Concordia ' s computer program is growing, said Mr. Martin Moro, computer department head. This year we received five new IBM microcomputers and there are hopes for more, Moro added. Speaking In French, senior Connie Hetrick and Mrs. Sandra Tucker dis- cuss possible Christmas projects for the Advanced Class. While proofreading his typing, senior Dean Batchelder translates words into sentences for one of many one-minute timings. translating 75 Mr. LeBeau told us stories about his family. — Jamie Rodewald ABSORB ' Bright Spot ' Help In Assimilation My mind just can ' t handle any more of this! I feel like it ' s going to explode! Cries such as these could be heard coming from the rooms where students spent many hours listening to lectures given by teachers or fellow students. Each day students tried to absorb the contents of those lectures. It was difficult to sit through history lectures on how the constitution was developed or the government lectures on the laws or listen to how your stomach absorbs what you eat in lectures in healthy and safety. Thoughts often strayed to other topics during these lectures. There were teachers, however, who offered fresh ways to lecture. Some hopped on desks; some told jokes. Mr. LeBeau told us stories about his family . . . that often kept me from falling asleep during his history class, said junior Jamie Rodewald. Mr. Dave Gemmer often spoke with an accent to get students ' attention while Mr. Don Luepke often interrupted his lectures with a bright spot, ' reading a poem or telling a joke, to break the monotony of just listen- ing. Mr. Kurt Jordan demonstrated a new technique with his classes when he tape recorded his lecture and just played it back to the other two sections later in the day. He was more interesting on the tape recorder, said senior Jon Miller. Taking notes on the lecture, juniors Eric Dailey and Kay Bradtmiller study Economics.

Senior Kim Dettmer said, We ran really hard in Sec- tionals and Regionals. I was rather satisfied with how we did. It just went to show what a little hard work could do. Everyone tried their hardest, and we had a great team effort. That was the most im- portant thing that we had in a team this year, said sen- ior Jody Beck.

It was the best it ' s ever been, said co-captain Erik Preus. During season there were many moments of glory, but certain ones stood out. The sweetest victory was beat- ing Snider, Wayne, and New Haven all in one day, said Hoffman. Winning the Ann Arbor Invitational was the best, commented junior Todd Rettig. For many runners there was the extra thrill of break- ing a record, even if it was only their own. I made a new school record. It was great, said co-captain Jeff Koehlinger. What was the secret to success? We did things as a team. We worked togeth- er, replied sophomore John Bakalar. Though it was not obvious from the season record, the team suffered several set- backs such as having their top two runners out or ill for several meets. Most felt this was the reason for their one loss. Even with the setbacks, the team ' s attitude re- mained good. Going into the season we had an ex- cellent attitude.

Before a game, I tried to visualize how I wanted to look and play. It really helped me concentrate, said sophomore varsity player Kris Springer. Not only did their mental and physical preparation help, but volleyball camp during the summer got the team ready. There were a number of girls who went to camp this year. This im- proved their skills. I feel it in- creased the number of wins we had, said assistant coach LuAnn Davis.

If we played any other team in the SAC divi- sion that day, we would have won too, because we were so mentally pre- pared, commented setter Shelli Edwards. According to Edwards, watching the older girls play benefited the freshmen team by helping them learn how to improve their game. Although the reserve team ' s season wasn ' t as outstanding, sophomore Lisa Gallmeier felt the girls had improved in various ways. Potential and good skill was present even though at first team play was a weakness. But when they worked on their strong points, and psyched up for the games, improvements were evident in team play, Gallmeier said. The SAC Reserve Tourna- ment was the climax for the reserve players. After losing to Bishop Luers in the first round, the girls had to fire up to beat South Side 15-9, 15- 8, to win the consolation game. We didn ' t play to our full potential against Luers, stated Susan Wade. We let too many mistakes and points pass by. We had to play a better game and stress our strong points in or- der to win. 1982 Reserve Volleyball Team; FRONT ROW: Mgr. L. Scheiben- berger. S. Pflughaupt. L. Koehlinger, C. Piekarski, K.

A new face appeared as Miss Lisa Schroer took on the position as coach of these two teams. She brought new ideas for helping the team improve and for rais- ing morale. Miss Schroer was great, said sophomore Lisa Koeh- linger, She not only coached the team as a whole, she coached each person as an individual. She also cared about everyone 1982-83 Reserve Girls ' Basketball Team: FRONT ROW: K. Springer, K. Bruick, L. Koehlinger, S. Wade. BACK ROW: Coach L. Schroer, T. Glass. J. Hayden, T. McNutt, R.

Good team spirit was evi- den as the girls gathered before games to eat dinner or to start concentrating on their games that evening. Before every game a team- mate would lead the teams in prayer. The two teams worked well within themselves, but we did have a rocky start. Both showed a lot of im- provement. I think that the highlight of the season for me was having such a great bunch of girls to work with. They also helped me when was having trouble, said Miss Schroer. It was a great season.

Mr. Parrish though we should have been disci- plined and dedicated to basketball, said senior Todd Oren. Some of the unforgetta- ble events of the season were the victories over New Haven, Wayne, and North- Side. The team upset New Haven, considered that be- cause they were two feet taller than us, and we played them on their home court, commented senior Don Rodenbeck. In the confrontation against Wayne, Oren scored a career high of 32 points. The team defense was good, he said, If it weren ' t for my teammates, I wouldn ' t have had the 32 points. The victory over North Side pleased Coach Glenn Parrish because we don ' t beat them very often, and because the players set a school record — they made 92 percent of their foul shots. Parrish said, We worked awfully hard on our pa- tience; we just didn ' t want to throw it away. That was a little more evident in the NorthSide game. When you ' ve got fine young men with good char- acters, you know they ' re going to try to do their best.

They continued the season with several oth- er wins, and many heart- breaking losses by a one or two point margin. There were several teams we played that were egually mastered. It just happened that the other team would get ahead right at the end, and sometimes we would too, said sophomore John Reincke. Our team really got along well. We were all good friends on and off the court. We stuck together and tried to help each oth- er.

The highlight of the season for the reserves was winning the Tournament at Elmhurst at the beginning of the sea- son, and then defeating North Side and South Side. The Freshman Basketball team began their season much slower. After losing our first 9 games, we won 7 of the last 11, so in terms of progress, it was a successful season, said coach Ron Stelzer. The Freshman team topped their season by win- ning the Freshman Tourna- ment with victories over Har- ding and Bishop Luers, and also scoring 80 points against Churubusco. 108 reserve frosh basketball Looking for a pass from the corner, freshman Todd Tucker seeks to pass off to a teammate.

Both new and old faces entered the front doors of Concordia on September 8. Many had changed their hair styles. Some had lost or gained a few pounds, and some had grown a few inches and ma- tured a bit. Most started the school year with the anticipation of this year being different. Many changes would take place from the time those underclass and senior photos were taken until the yearbook would be seen in print. With the start of a new year came the never-ending terrors of jammed lockers, being late to class, those very difficult tests, and occa- sionally waking up on Sunday morn- ing to find that the local tee-peeing squad had decorated the front lawn and trees. For those getting ready to leave Concordia, their years seemed to pass almost too quickly. But with all Cadets, their friendships and memo- ries would be recalled as they looked back at the people who were part of the school. During a student council dance, juniors Debbi Kruse, Coleen Henkle- mann and Sandi VonDeylen dance and sing to a favorite song.

It ap- plied to many different things but especially to be- ing a senior. A senior was — . . . someone who did whatever he wanted in the student lounge. . . . someone who got senioritis at the end of his ju- nior year. . . . someone who ruled the school. . . . someone who en- joyed where he was but looked forward to growing up and moving on. . . the person underclass- men looked up to. . . . the person who thought underclassmen looked up to him. . . . someone who suf- fered through tests such as the SAT and the ACT. . . . someone who strug- gled through English O and Government. . . . someone who faced growing up to become a freshman again. . . . someone who wasn ' t afraid to be caught in the hall without a hall pass. . . . someone who racked up much more than six tar- dies because seniors could get away with anything, al- most.

There are many religious high schools, but CLHS real- ly made me feel as If God was the center of every day. Other schools gave the feeling that the school day was Just a necessary task, but here teachers and friends made my days spe- cial because they truly wanted to help. — Rachele Dixie Scott Copenhaver Jon Cordes Rochelle Craig Karen Curry Burning flames of infatuation Sweet Hearts Throb Did you ever wonder who that perfect girl or guy for you would be? Concordia ' s seniors had many memories of their early infatuations. Anne Buchholz recalled having a crush on a senior baseball player when she was a freshman. He seemed to be so carefree and confident, said Buch- holz. Males also experienced the feelings of infatuation. Falling in love at a very young age, Dave McDonald recalled being caught pass- ing notes to his sweetheart in second grade. That was embarrassing! exclaimed McDonald. Infatuation and embar- rassment sometimes went hand in hand. When once refused by a date, Scott Wade remembered seeing that girl the following even- ing at a party and won- dered if everyone else knew he had been turne d down. Not everyone had crushes on little boys or girls. I was in love with my puppy dog, Craig Laker said. Though senior crushes brought laughter and ridi- cule, no one could take away the fond memories. Lori Syndrom treasured her memories of a tall, well- dressed, and talented senior basketball player. Al- though I haven ' t seen him for three years, I have his senior picture in my purse, and I carry him in my thoughts wherever I go, Syndrom explained. Infatuated with handsome men, similar photos are found in many lockers, such as Carla Bruick ' s, throughout the school. 118 sentofs Kimberly Curry Philip Dament Robin Davies Vickie Davis Mike Davison Jack De Haven Amy Detraz Kimberly Dettmer Michelle Dixie Rachele Dixie Christopher Doehrmann Kent Doerffler Kari Eastman Brenda Edwards Terrence Ellis Kendra Erexson seniors 119 Three use summer for exploration Trio Goes Abroad Spending part of their summer vacation abroad was an opportunity taken by three seniors. Amy Detraz spent one month with the Blue Lake In- ternational Band from Michi- gan touring Europe. She saw Holland, Belgium, Luxen- bourg, Austria, and West Germany. My most interesting ex- 1 perience was when I was staying in Austia. Our host family hardly spoke any Eng- lish, so we used sign lan- guage. One evening our hostess asked us if we want- ed some milk. When we said yes, she took three glasses and left the house. I wasn ' t sure what to do when she came out of the barn five minutes later with the milk in hand. Jeff Koehlinger spent two Elizabeth Ferguson Brian Fiedler Edith Fisher Eric Fortmeyer Concordia was special to me be- cause of the closeness we shared as brothers and sisters In Christ.

Going abroad was a great chance to live independently of my American family and test my maturity. I have become more open and indepen- dent, commented Koeh- linger. Kim Dettmer spent a por- tion of the summer in Africa with a Mission Encounter Team. She went primarily to paint a school built by mis- sionaries, but learned a lot about the African culture, customs and people. The men usually had more than one wife, and older people were respected more than they are here, she said. My tour gave me nine new fam- ilies, and the chance to see that people are basically the same all over the world, said Amy Detraz. 1 ;G seniors While at her fifth home- stay.

The seniors in the program pro- vided that leadership. We ran the program, Terry Ellis said. Battalion Commander Ted Schmidt commented, As seniors, we were the brains of the entire program; anything that was done was organized by seniors. We could do anything we want- ed to as long as we had Ma- jor ' s approval. Battalion Executive Offi- cer Annette Helmke said, If we made a mistake, we paid for it. It was like the real world. To Schmidt JROTC was different from other subjects and activities at Concordia. We were teaching the un- derclassmen what we had jgajyerL We got to apply what we had learned while we were still in high school, Ellis said. Battalion Operations Offi- cer Dan Hahn and Senior As- sistant Staff Officer Valerie Jacobs were in charge of corresponding with the twenty schools that were in- volved in the Clendenen Drill Meet. The seniors were also in charge of organizing the unit for an AFI inspection that was held in April. According to Major Tibor Bierbaum, the seniors planned cadet battalion activities and coordinated and implemented the plans. Gathering to discuss upcoming events, Annette Helmke, Ted Schmidt, Dan Hahn, Lisa Blocher, and John Klopsch meet in the JROTC room. I liked Con- cordia be- cause of the sense of close- ness I got with my friends. The teachers always tried to help, no matter what the problem; they knew me personally and I feel that they honestly did care about what happened to me. The reason for this was their Christianity. — Gerald McGee seniors 123 Krista Macke Barry Marquart Anita Maxwell David McDonald Gerald McGee Eric Meinzen Mark Meinzen Daniel Meyer Visitors in the night Surprise! Surprise! Did you ever awaken to find your trees a shocking pink? If so, you are one of many CLHS students who had the experience. Al- though the seniors perhaps didn ' t TP as much this year, they are remembered for their TPing antics. It was not uncommon to hear whispers in the halls, We got him so bad! or OK, who did it? D and D will always sur- vive, stated senior Don Ro- denbeck. He and Dean Bat- chelder made up the D D TPing Co. During the season, they TPed at least once each week. Rodenbeck ' s best job, however, was when he TPed Batchelder. He was gone for the week- end so we took our time. We used 70-80 rolls of toilet paper, commented Ro- denbeck. Heidi Baumgartner re- membered TPing Jon Schult (a former student). We covered the entire dr ive- way, stringing it across from tree to tree. You couldn ' t even see through it, she said proudly. Students were not the only ones were were TPed. Teachers were also visited during the night. Mr. Glenn Parrish has been TPed often but one time, They missed my house and got my 86 year old retired minister neighbor ... I consented to take it off for him, he said. Seeking revenge, many seniors TPed their friends. One student be- gins to throw a roll of toilet paper on a cold December evening.

You may have been since the Senior Class contains three sets of twins. Kim and I don ' t look alike so being a twin is more like having another sister to me, said Karen Curry. Having a twin is a very unigue feeling and very spe- cial. The relationship be- tween us is especially close, more so than just between sisters or friends, comment- ed Michele Dixie. Being twins that look alike can be very difficult at times. Mindy Scheiben- berger said, Teachers and friends, especially teachers, got us mixed up. Sometimes people don ' t treat us like two different people with different ideas and thoughts. One day Mr. Hoffman saw both of us together and James Roemke Zena Roland Scott Schamberg said he thought we were one person all this time. He didn ' t realize there were two of us, said Laura Schei- benberger. Even though having a twin could be confusing, it had some benefits too. You al- ways have someone who is the same age you are and who has the same problems. It is easier to talk about things that bother you be- cause they will understand, Kim Curry said. Although similar, we en- joy our independent styles and we love each other for what we are as separate in- dividuals, commented Ra- chele Dixie.

Although most felt they were ready, some had mixed feelings about leav- ing. No one ever really wants to leave a place where they have matured, but it was necessary and I was ready, said Rachele Dixie. I was relaxed enough that I really enjoyed school. I was sure that would change in college, said Mark Vandre.

However, they knew there were things to look forward to, like good times and freedom, ac- cording to Craig Laker, and a change, being on my own, said Brenda Edwards. No matter what plans they had, most seniors were grateful for the preparation they had received. I think the freedom that was given us on major projects helped us plan ahead and budget our time.

You shouldn ' t have any trouble with it if you study. During their four years of high school, Con- cordia ' s seniors often heard teachers make this reassur- ing claim. They found, how- ever, that at times these tests weren ' t as easy as promised. Almost all seniors left behind a trail of Killer Tests which stand out in these students ' memories. The hardest test I took was during the first semester of Geometry class. It was so hard that when there were only ten minutes left in the class, I only had the test half done. I had to guess on the second half, and all of the answers were wrong, com- mented Mike Burkholder. Annette Helmke ex- plained, My most difficult tests were the take-home tests in Accelerated Geom- etry class. They were always about six pages long, full of tough problems, and they took about three or four hours to finish. One of my lowest grades was on a final in Develop- ment of Social Conscience class because we were taught by the class mem- bers, but the teacher wrote the test and the information wasn ' t the same, said Jon Cordes. The English O final was the worst test I ' ve ever tak- en, said senior Amy Detraz. There were too many min- ute details.

Junior Susan Dunton said that if she knew the world would end in 24 hours, I would go out and find Harri- son Ford and profess my love for him. I wouldn ' t be afraid be- cause I know I ' d go to heav- en, said Joy Scheele. Another what if brought many different replies. What if you could go anywhere you wanted to on a date? Andrea Lupke said, I ' d find a rich, rugged man. We would fly to Greece, go to dinner and dancing, and then home for a nightcap. Dunton ' s idea of an ideal date was, A very romantic dinner in a small Italian res- taurant with gypsies playing violins at the table and afterwards going to a play on Broadway in a limo. I wouldn ' t care where it was if it was with the right person, Liesl Stennfeld said. Finally, there is yet an- other what if. What if you could travel through time? I would go back in time to 1900, and I ' d know what to invest in. I ' d be rich, said Mike Strasen.

The in- side ot their lockers were decked with carpet, photo- graphs, note boards, comic strips, stuffed animals, post- ers, Christmas decorations, and jig saw puzzles. Having a decorated locker gives me something to look at every day. It keeps me from getting bored, and it holds a lot of memories too, Andrea Lupke said. Blue rectangular metal cubicles lined the halls. Each one, in spite of a fresh coat of paint during the summer, was as mundane as the oth- ers in its row. These blue creatures ate books, lunches, jackets or anything their owner fed them during the course of the day. In an average day, they were fed five or six times, and on occasion, were emptied at 3:10. Lockers, as they were commonly referred to, were a part of the life of every student. Often they were the source of aggravation as the occupants fumbled with stuck locks or jammed doors.

Teachers heard this excuse almost daily from students that were late for class. The locker has been the product of excuses and explanations for many years. The student body dis- played some of its greatest creativity in the excuses used for late school arrival or incompleted homework as- signments. When homework wasn ' t done or st udents didn ' t have it, it was often left on the table at home. I couldn ' t do my homework because I didn ' t have any paper at home, comment- ed Dave Moellering. Scott Newby put a new twist on the late school arri- val excuse. On the way to school I hit a dog and I had to comfort the owner, he explained. One student used the excuse I was late because my eyes didn ' t open at the right time. An- other said she was late be- cause of the wind. It should be noted that not all of their excuses were necessarily accepted by Mr. Breininger. Ambling down the hall towards the student lounge, clown Linda Rodenbeck points out the decora- tions to cowboy Marty Abdon.

Accord- ing to junior Donna Kleinsch- midt, a soapie was some- one who keeps the televi- sion on one channel and watches all the soaps. A real soapie can ' t miss even one. Many girls admitted to watching soaps, but none of the males did. However, no one confessed to being a true soapie. Junior Susan Knipstein said, No, I only watch them to pass the time. Dressed as a painter on Masquer- ade Day, Tony Davison gives full at- tention to his ASVAB test. Kleinschmidt said, I only watch one. Most students watched soap operas because of the boredom of summer. They took up the time when I was bored. They served as a fantasy away from real life, Natalie Dowden said. But there were other rea- sons for watching too. I liked the romance, espe- cially when two people liked each other but didn ' t want the other to know, Dow- den added. Even though many watched the soaps, did they believe them? No, conflicts like that just do not happen. They crack me up, said Knipstein, a watch- er of Guiding Light. Bev Linkhart said, I think some of it ' s real, but not so much to one particular group of people. Gretchen Walther agreed, I think some is true, but it ' s spiced up. Kleinschmidt, however, felt they were just fake. The non-watchers had a few comments on soapies too. I think they ' re wasting their time, Jeff Nielsen, a definite non-soapie, said. juniors 139 Nerd Day exhibitor Dan Knepper tries to decide what to consume for lunch. Sophomore class officers Kirsten Roberts. Sarah Owen, David Wal- ters and Mark Witmer discuss possi- ble fundraising plans for their class. Feels So Good! What did it feel like to not be a freshman anymore? Sophomores expected to feel somewhat superior. But for some people, that supe- rior feeling wasn ' t as impor- tant as school being more exciting and more fun. It was also a relief to find that they knew more of what was going on, and that they knew more peo- ple. Although the majority of sophomores thought that being a sophomore was much better than being a freshman, John Feldkamp thought that he had mel- lowed out since being a freshman, and he said, school ' s gotten harder. With required subjects such as science and Old Testament, the sophomore year was more difficult, and sometimes so painful that as Paul Schult commented, I liked the five minutes be- tween classes and the half hour before school most of all. After my first year, I ' d re- alized that I liked Concordia and its people, Tim Durnell said. Dressed as The Road Runner, Jeff Sassmannshausen pauses for a few seconds before running off to lunch.

Roar! Could it be thunder? Could it be Superman? Could it be the football team? No! It ' s a sophomore stomach. Yes, sophomores occa- sionally got the munchies. Candy bars were favor- ites this year, and with so many groups selling them, sophomores rarely saw a day when they couldn ' t buy one. Ice cream and gum were favorites, too. There was al- ways a line for Pac-Man bars during the lunch hour, and buble gum kept some occu- pied. What did sophomores like to eat when they were places other than school? Julie Scheiman said, Fruit, because it ' s sweet and not fattening. Other popular munchies included as Jeff Sassmann- shausen stated, Potato chips — any kind of potato chips. But what did sophomores crave for when they were out with their friends? Pizza! Mara Fick ' s favorite kind was, One with everything on it. Many Cadets chose Pizza Hut or Noble Roman ' s as their favorite pizza places. Still others reached for chocolate chip cookies or anything in their refrigera- tors. Even a quick sandwich was sufficient while studying or doing homework. All dressed up for Little Kids Day, David Walters entertains himself by looking through his View Master. k 1H1 _ 4 x . 1 ' .

A Freshman A phase of life that every- one had to face was being the lowest man on the to- tem pole, otherwise known as a freshman, or commonly but affectionately referred to by teachers and upper- classmen as a frosh. A frosh was — . . . someone who got lost between classes until the third or fourth week of school. . . . the focus of most up- perclassmen ' s pranks. . . . someone terrified to walk through the student lounge at lunch. . . . someone that went into hiding during initiation. . . . enthusiastic about homecoming even though they didn ' t know what was going on. . . . someone who used a different vocabulary from upperclassmen, words such as far out, groovy, cool, wild, gag me, hip, and total- ly. . . . someone who dressed themselves according to the latest fashion, not caring what other people thought. . . . paranoid about hav- ing an open fly or untied shoes. . . . someone who didn ' t understand the act of walk- ing past other people in the hallway. . . . someone who carried every book to class. . . . someone who had school spirit running out of his ears. . . . someone who showed great potential of someday growing up to become a senior.

For the most part, the owners enjoyed their peculiar ani- mal ' s company. Gretchen Wehrmeister and Laura Lindeman cared for a woodchuck. Its diet consisted of carrots, apples, monkey chow, and water. Although the woodchuck wasn ' t Gretchen and Lau- ra ' s personal pet, they cared for it as their own. It officially belonged to the Fort Wayne Children ' s Zoo. A pig had personal care and attention from Kolleen Macke. He eats anything he can get a hold of, Kol- leen said. She kept her pig in the barn with the rest of the pigs on the Macke farm. I bought my pig from my brother who is a pig farmer. I ' m raising it for slaughter money, which is the pay I re- ceive for the meat. The thing I like most of all is that someday my pig will feed Kelly France Brian Freeman Glenda Freeman Kim Fryback Casey Gater Brian Gerberding Mary Gerken Becky Grim Adam Hahn David Hambrock Tim Harroun Lisa Hegerfeld Laura Heilman Dave Helm Valarie Hernrick Scott Hille Jim Hinkle Troye Hinrichs people, Kolleen said. Melinda Walker offered the most unique story. She received a tarantula for her thirteenth birthday. Since she liked unusual animals, this was the perfect pet for her. Melinda usually kept her spider in a ten-gallon aquar- ium with stones on the bot- tom and played with it of- ten. She also enjoyed the attention her pet drew. The most interesting activ- ity my tarantula performs is capturing its prey, Melinda said. Although their pets were unusual, the freshmen agreed that having a pet gave them a feeling of re- sponsibility.

If one could have taken a tour through these minds, one might have heard such things as; I ' m not going through the student lounge; I don ' t want all the upperclassmen look- ing at me, or what if I get lost and nobody ever finds me. On their first day, fresh- men often encountered dif- ficulties such as not being able to find a certain class or having been unable to get their lockers open. I thought I was going to die when I opened my locker and every book fell out, During Freshman initiation, Lisa Linnemeier feels the strain of carry- ing all of her books through the halls. commented Lisa Linne- meier. Another worry that frus- trated minds was the terror of being late to class. Please don ' t ring yet, bell; I can ' t be late, I ' ll just die, or I better hurry or I ' ll never make it; I wish everyone would get out of my way, rang throughout the halls on September 10. As time progressed, these newcomers became more confident about barging their way through the lounge, getting to the right class on time, and maneu- vering the locks on their lockers. They became more independent. freshmen 159 Mr. Jon Anderson. M.S. Science. Mathematics Ambassadors for Christ. Football Maj. Tibor Bierbaum. B.A. JROTC Officers ' Club .

Being busy preparing for the North Central Accredi- tation Evaluation for next year, they might have had occasional disagreements, but assistant principal Terry Breininger thought the administrators got along very well. Most of us have unusual senses of humor and we were so busy laughing at our own jokes that we didn ' t bother each other. What did the administration actually have to do to get ready for the evaluators? Prepare pages and pages of documents, and work hours and hours and hours which we would normally use for other activi- ties, Breininger said. Taking a break from hi busy schedule.

When the LUMINARIAN staff started working on this book, we had one main goal: to produce a year- book that surpassed any other volume of the LUMIN- ARIAN. We saw a need for great improvement in the quality of the photos throughout the book. Our photographers, led by sen- iors Stephanie Phares and Brenda Edwards, saw to it that the pictures in this book are the best ones yet. My thanks goes to Jana Goeglein and Amy Detraz for putting so much love into this book and for being will- ing to stay around until 11 p.m. when we were up against a deadline. Thanks to Bryan Meyer, Cheryl Engebrecht, and Maureen Butler for the life they put into Saturday workshops. But most of all I want to thank the entire Lumo staff for the great ef- fort and for all the wild times that made this book so much fun. I love you guys. You ' re all the greatest! I especially want to thank Mrs. Schwartz for going so far beyond her duties as an adviser, for being a counsel- or and a friend. You didn ' t dictate, but gave me the freedom to make my own decisions so I could learn from my mistakes when I messed up. I give a round of applause to every Cadet for making Concordia a school where good times abound. I also pray that God will be with you in everything that you do.

Colophon Volume 31 of the LUMINARIAN was printed by Josten ' s American Year- book Company of Clarksville, Tennessee. Josten ' s sales representative was Mr. Jim Arthur. The LUMINARIAN was produced by the yearbook staff of Concordia Lutheran High School. Seven hundred copies of the 176 page book were printed on 80 lb. gloss finish paper stock 191. The endsheets were printed on Sand 293 stock with a cut circle die 267. The 8V2 by 11 inch book was smyth sewn. The cover was done in Maroon 541 leathergrain with Rich Gold 327 embossing and was custom designed by the editors. Josten ' s art depart- ment created the school emblem, which was blind embossed in the cover. The eight page true-life color signature was printed on 80 lb. gloss paper 191 with a 60% p-600 yellow spot color block. Color Homecoming photos were taken by Watters Studio. Maroon 201 spot color was used in the sports section and in some advertising. All body copy was 10 point Avant Garde. Caption copy was 8 point Avant Grade with bold face lead-ins. Headlines were 30 point Avant Garde, with the exception of 48 point Avant Garde bold face labels on all division pages and in the Academics section, Subheadlines were 18 point Avant Garde sentence-style. All candid and some group photos were done by the LUMINARIAN staff with the exception of the following: senior, team and some organization photos taken by Watters Studio, underclass pictures taken by National School Studios: and some photos taken by members of the LU-HI VOICE staff. 174 closing 82-83, A year of ups and downs Cadets Rise Above The Ordinary And now, as we have seen the 1982-83 school year pass as quickly as it came, we can see what the members ot the Concordia family did to go beyond the everyday routine. This year was one which was marked by unusual oc- curences. We saw the com- puter climb in importance and popularity. In fact, Time Magazine awarded its Man of the Year honors to the computer. We saw incredi- ble medical advances when an artificial heart, designed by Dr. Robert Jarvik, was im- planted successfully into a man. On the Concordia scene, we were brought closer together under a common concern when in- juries threatened the lives of several of our students. One of these was Japanese ex- change student Hiromi Shindo, who was critically in- jured in a traffic accident but was brought back to health in a miraculous re- covery through the prayers of many friends. Our admin- istrators and faculty spent endless hours preparing for a re-evaluation by the North Central Association. There was still evidence of the commonplace and ordi- nary. There were still Gov- ernment and Algebra tests to spoil Fridays, forgotten excuse slips, and the lack of snowdays. But perhaps it was the nature of CLHS, the fact that we made Jesus Christ the center of our school, that enabled us to rise above the ordinary. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you for His own possession above all the people on the face of the Earth.

Cadets prepared for a busy summer vacation. For some it would mean trips to Florida or work- ing part time jobs. For others it would mean summer school or driver ' s training. Seniors would be caught up in the process of preparing for col- lege and saying good-bye for the last time. But no matter how involv- ing the summer is, most of the re- turning students will be ready for the first day of school in the fall, one week earlier than usual. i '  l.
