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.
