Opening 2 Student Life 6 Sports 36 Organizations 68 Academics 96 People 122 Closing 174 Faced with the task of choosing a theme, six Luminarian editors began to brainstorm while attending the American Yearbook summer workshop at St. Mary ' s College. In spite of the fact that ideas were sought in the spring, nothing had quite come together. Suddenly — it was there before us. We knew that there were things we had not covered last year — some of them small and some not so small. They were things that were overlooked because they didn ' t seem important at the time. As we looked back, however, we could see that some of the things that happen every day and don ' t seem important at the time are important when we ' re no longer part of the school. Our theme was chosen because we wanted to try some new things and look at things from different perspectives than we had before. Our goal then was to make the copy more interesting, include more students and shoot unique photos from a variety of angles. We hope this is evident throughout the book and that we have included your feelings and ideas. This book was created just for you — FROM ALL ANGLES. 1984 LUMINARIAN An uncommon view of the school, -ere seen by students, taces the St joseon Rh e r Students fill time during their lunch hour z= they converse in the Student Lounae Volume 32 Concordia Lutheran High School 1601 St. Joe River Drive Fort Wayne, Indiana 46805 Allen County fctfe U  1 ft. Wayne, - Look at life from your own angle Angles. Everyone has their very own. The way you look at things is uniquely different from everyone else. No one else is affected by things the same way you are, or are they? For the freshmen, the 83- 84 school year will always be thought of as scary, but a lot of fun. I felt nervous and thought I wouldn ' t know anyone. It got better after I saw a friend and we stuck together, stated Beth Holl- man. It will also be remembered as a new start for Mr. Tim Kinne, choir director, and Mr. While assisting In the computer room, senior Brian Judt offers a word of advice to junior Jill Mueller and Brenda Brandt.

I was challenged to build the program up to the level it had been when I was a student teacher. Seniors struggled through the year, thoughts of col- lege life, and being v free, ' barely saving them.

Weekends provided diversions with dances (one DJ ' d by the Cas- bah), shopping, dates, and some- times studying. Junior Amy Stiebel- ing said, I didn ' t have much free $ time, but it (the weekend) was still fun. Homecoming week was the first major event of the year, involving the entire school in dress-up days and Anything Goes. It seemed like everyone, even freshmen, had a lot more spirit, said senior Tanya Stedge. Commemorating the 500th anni- versary of Martin Luther ' s birthday, chapel services involved guest speakers and traditional Lutheran hymns. The Christmas season brought along Christmas at Concordia, the exchanging of gifts between friends, and the ever popular Christ- mas Dance. Cadets sent and received candy, valentines, and flowers on Valen- tine ' s Day. Luminarian members de- livered Flowergrams for the eighth consecutive year. No matter which angle Cadets were coming from, Concordia was more than just an institution of learn- ing. — Cheryl Engebrecht While marching In the District competition at Northrop, the Marching Band plays It Was Almost Like a Song.

Temperatures soared to 90 degrees. Mini skirts, sandals, and sleeveless tee shirts were worn to keep cool. Eventually things cooled off and CLHS students began to settle down and enjoy the fall scene. Martin Luther ' s 500th birthday was celebrated by dedicating a month of chapel services to the man who planted the seed of Lutheranism. A rally at Memorial Coliseum Nov. 13 culminated the celebration. Grandparents took part in a day when they joined the student body in a chapel service, toured the facili- ties, and ate a meal in the cafete- ria. The Annual Concordia Founda- tion Dinner hosted Eugene Parker, former Concordia and Purdue bas- ketball star. The same night, excite- ment spread across the gym when it was announced the girls cross coun- try team captured the state cham- pionship. Sophomore Cheryl Weiss, who was sitting in the audience ' said, At first I couldn ' t believe it, I thought there was no way we could win, but once I got over the shock, I was ecstatic! . In an unusual turn of events, Luth- eran Outreach Day was cancelled due to snow. — Pam Reinking An actor portraying Martin Luther visits : as part of Luther ' s 500th birthday celebration: Fall Scene 9 The varsity football team listens closely as Coach Bernon Benson shows them a plan to a Homecoming success. 10 Homecomlng A looking glass triumph Students who participated in Homecoming got the chance to go through the looking glass by be- coming active on dress up days. Nerd Day began the week when students stepped back in time to the 50s. On Twin Day, confusion reigned as students dressed alike. Best attire appeared Wednesday. Daringness was brought out Thursday for Masquer- ade Day when the school opened its doors to a bunch of grapes, a French maid, a flapper, and even a male fairy godmother. School spirit showed high Friday with maroon and white everywhere. The Goo- kettes psyched up fans by teach- ing a new cheer at the pep session. I felt that everything was done first class, said senior Terry Rybolt. By game time I could tell great things were going to happen for the team because of the amount of en- thusiasm shown by fans. That was the key to our winning season. Hard work paid off when the varsi- ty football team beat Wayne 46-28. giving Concordia their first Home- coming victory under the leadership of Coach Dick Wert. During halftime, Donna Kleinschmidt and Quinton Dixie were crowned queen and king. An unfortunate incident took place at halftime, though, when a defective special effects device in- jured Mr. Paul Wis, Band Director. The week ended with the dance where Spectrum, Light, and Sound provided music in the elaborately decorated gym. I thought that the decorations at the dance were reaiy neat. The white lights on the cage made It romantic, said senior Penny Kizer. — Beth Bartett Enthusiasm for a victory is shown by Coach Dick Wert, escorted by senior Gretchen Walther at the pep session 4s one of The Gookeftes , senior Bryan Meyer leads the Cadets in a cheer.

When people cheered for teams, they were also cheering for Concordia, continued Roberts, chairperson for the event. Anything Goes was the first major event of Homecoming week. It fea- tured ten events where the four classes and the faculty all compet- ed for points. It was important be- cause it gave everyone a chance to get away from school and simply have a good time, said Homecom- ing chairperson, senior Maureen But- ler. However, more work went into the planning and organization of Anything Goes than most people realized. Every idea for an event had to be approved by the poBce department, fire department, P.TA„ the adrrtH - at m 3 -■ rh stadium custodians. After an idea All the time and effort that was spent on Anything Goes really paid off in one of the finest Homecoming events I have ever seen, stated Student Council adviser Mr. Fred Weiss. The evening began with a pa- rade to Zollner Stadium led by Coach Dick Wert, Mr. Guenther Her- zog and the varsity band, a tradi- tional bonfire, and the lighting of the game torch by senior Bryan Meyer. The games finished with the juniors in first place, the seniors second, the sophomores third, freshmen fourth, and the faculty fifth. The events concluded with hot dogs and soda pop. — Rob Lucas 1 wr Signaling the start of the .Anything Goes competition. Student Council President, sen- ior Bryan Meyer ignites the. game torch!

A bright, bold sweater or blouse teamed up with a pair of short, faded jeans or mini skirt, covered by a jean jacket. Accessories hit the scene with a great splash this sea- son, with bold geometric jewelry. For both guys and gals, wool scarves tied around the neck and flat boots were essential. Lumber- jack plaid and the rugged look were also great. Cadet fashion was often affect- ed by the individual ' s mood. The way I dressed didn ' t reflect my personality, but my mood re- flected in the way I dressed. If I woke up in a bad or a wild mood, I dressed accordingly, commented senior Quinton Dixie. Clothes made a statment about the people who wore them. I think that people who dressed conservatively were usually conser- vative in personality. Those who dressed with variety and combined outfits and styles were more versa- tile and perhaps more creative and daring, stated senior Donna Kleinschmidt. From head to toe, students took on a more European look, with spiked hair and spiked heels. Al- though the European or New Wave look had a greater affect on Cadet fashion this season than in many years past, some still enjoyed the classic style of dressing. It ap- peared at CLHS in Fashion ' 83: any- thing was acceptable. — Maureen Butler In a wool skirt and blazer junior Jin Mueller poses on a bridge in Shoaff Park.

Three little, everyday hassles capable of ruining anyone ' s day at school. Tardies seemed to have cap- tured the prize as the biggest pain for most Cadets. The most obvious reason for tardiness was talking too long in the hallway. However, junior Lisa Bearman felt that five minutes wasn ' t always enough time if I had to come from a far classroom or stop in the bathroom. Another excuse according to Kir- sten Roberts was, I usually ended up being tardy when the bells kept getting messed up. Library fines were just as much of a bother for students, yet most agreed they were essential. If I didn ' t get the fines, I ' d forget about my books, said Natalie Durnell. There is a minimum fine of a $1.50, and the end of the year is when we collect the larger fines, es- pecially from the seniors because they can ' t graduate without pay- ing, said Mr. Raymond Pasche, li- brarian. Cafeteria lines presented a third problem. With an uneven number of students divided into the lunch hours, some became more crowd- ed and the lines grew. By the time I got through the line in third lunch, half the period was over and I was still eating when the bell rang, said Gretchen Wather. What we need- ed was a fourth lunch. — Susan Knipstein 16 School Scene Director ' breaks a leg ' In the midst of World War II a group of sailors and nurses mix com- bat and love on a South Pacific island. The fall musical, South Pacific, consisted of 40 cast members, ranging from an admiral to a souve- nir pushing native. Junior Jill Staley, who played authoritative Com- mander Harbison, commented, I really enjoyed playing the part of a brat. Even though there was peace on the island, an injury was reported. Director Miss Dianne Shrubsall should have been awarded the Purple Heart. I fell off a stool and severly sprained my ankle, said Shrubsall. The play was not all love and war. It took many hours of practice each week. This interfered with other ac- tivities. I had to skip cheerleading practice, freshman nurse T Irmscher stated. Money made from the play went back into the drama department to pay for sets and costumes, techni- cal equipment, and for food and awards at the drama banquet. But all of this couldn ' t have hap- pened without the people behind the scenes. Fifteen students helped backstage. Shrubsall especially credited Tommie Sue Phares, Marty Abdon, Bev Linkhart, Debbi Kruse, and Tim Huebschman, who put in extra time and effort. — Andy Simerman f£li • On their Journey home, the cross country team members decorated the cars to show off their state win. n ■ y @ ' If ■ f  ti s fi TV siliSiliiiil ■V - ' s ™ Girls win state crown The girls ' cross country team gave CLHS students and coach Craig Hoffman more than their money ' s worth of excitement by winning the State Championship. It was great! Unbelievable! My goal was to get to State, but I didn ' t think we ' d win it. Hoffman said. Last year we were a good team. We were third in Sectionals. This year we were a great team! The girls proved this by ending their season with a 13-0 dual meet record and had, including invita- tional and sectional meets, an over- all record of 100 wins to 4 losses. They lost three times to Northrop and once to Michigan City Elston. The team won Sectionals and placed second in SAC and Region- al, earning a trip to State. Although Beth Drees, the team ' s top runner had to abandon any hope of placing first as an individual after she was knocked down during the race by a photographer, she and the other six runners placed high enough in the field to bring home Concordia ' s first state cham- pionship athletic trophy. This was an easier year to coach than last. We trained a little harder and got a little more mileage. I tried to sneak it in, Hoffman said. Hoffman was named Area Coach of the Year. The girls were honored at the CEF banquet, a pep session, and school was dismissed in their honor. The trouble is, what do we do for an encore? The pressure is on for the girls coming back. Hoffman said. — Michelle Buetow Before leaving the parking lot, senior Garth Hazelett throws one more snowball at his friends. Because of the extreme cold and ice, junior Chris Irmscher finds it necessary to scrape his cac windows. •a . .. ..- Cold invades the Fort As the winter of 1984 ap- proached, thoughts of Christmas, cold temperatures and of course, snow filled the minds of many. Winter was my favorite season because I loved to have snowball fights, said junior Margo Mader. A blanket of snow which covered the ground for most of the winter season, provided enjoyment for many Cadets. The snow was so ro- mantic. It was great to take walks in the snow at night, commented senior Mary Gadow. I loved the snow because it was fun doing donuts in parking lots, stated Joe Sowder. Accompanying the snow came unexpected cold temperatures, which dropped to -21 degrees Jan- uary 20, setting a new record. This posed many problems as cars didn ' t start and locks were frozen. Many churches in the community closed their doors Christmas eve and day, due to the -60 degree wind chill. When the weather was bad. liv- ing in Roanoke prevented me from attending many activities, said Laura Abdon. The side streets were especially icy and it was easy to slide all over. On record cold days I sat in class and wondered if my car was going to start, stated senior Susan Knip- stein. — Maureen Butler Staff adapts to changes A year to remember. Those were the words to describe the 1983-84 school year. Many interesting and exciting things happened over the nine-month span. There were sever- al surprises, along with some new ar- rivals. At the start of the school year, Mr. John Marks replaced Mr. Terry Breininger as assistant principal, in charge of Student Services. Mr. Timothy Kinne became the Director of Choral Music, replacing Mr. Rob- ert Vogel. At the end of November, CLHS had visitors from the North Central Evaluation Association. This was an organization which evaluated the school, and gave suggestions on how to improve it. It is a year-long self-study of every academic de- partment plus all other aspects of the school. A four-day visit by 13 people from other schools follows. These people examine our self- study, along with our entire opera- tion, and make comments and or recommendations, explained Mr. Paul Buetow, assistant principal. The result s of this evaluation were good. The school is said to offer quality programming, and faculty members are all prepared and qualified, Buetow said. November was also the month of Miss Esther Ross ' 65th birthday, and during that month, she formally an- nounced that she was going to re- tire at the end of the 1983-84 school year. Ross joined Mr. Ken Kraemer as teachers who retired from CLHS this year. Both teachers felt relieved about their retirement. Said Ross, I ' m happy. I ' m relieved that I won ' t have to push at a breakneck speed to grade papers and tests. — Susie Lytal Auction called $ucce$$ After months of planning and hard work, the first annual Cadets in Ca- dence Auction debuted on Dec. 8 and 9. The two nights consisted of both silent and oral auctions. Thursday evening was the Preview Party from 7 to 10 at which students served hors d ' oeuvres donated by local country clubs. Although serving was hard work, it was exciting to meet new people, said senior Maureen Butler. The Ginger Bread Tree, at which people could select an orna- ment that matched merchandise was open along with the Henny Penny booth. Friday evening consisted of the remaining silent auction booths, a dinner catered by DuJour Restau- rant and the oral auction. Consulting on the auction was a professional auctioneer, Timothy Duggan from Illinois. Duggan said this was the best first-time auction he a had seen. The auction netted $87,000, ac- cording to general cfroJrmatvftoftoid Reinkina Contributing to thts suc- cess i - 300 vol under 25 chairmen, hours of work were Rein men, Louis and Joy Culmann, Bill and Sue Swift, and Jack and Patty De- Haven. The spirit of the Concordia stu- dents was one of the reasons why it was such a big success, said Mr. Dick Katt. Also the meeting of new people who helped was a worthy experience. According to Reinking, the auc- tion was accepted well, people en- joyed themselves and it brought to- gether Lutherans who felt strongly about supporting Concordia. — Tammy Reed As the DuJour employee prepare; the a - ner rolls, junior Dave Walters waits People enjoy themselves as they look over the auction items during Thursday night ' s Pre- view Party During the dinner, senior Scott Newby helps his waitress Mrs Luepke serve by bringing the food to the table.

This slogan was used in the Cam- paign for Greater Fort Wayne. Its goal was to raise money for the city ' s economic development through pledges from the communi- ty. Director Tom Pilot felt the cam- paign was successful because there was an underlying spirit of cooperation and dedication among Fort Wayne residents that stirred up when they were called on for assistance. Other efforts to improve the city took place in the downtown area. One addition was the Calhoun Street Transit Mall between Wayne The Fort Wayne Museum of Art reflects part of Main Street in its windows. and Berry Streets, which was acces- sable only to pedestrians and buses. The new Botanical Conservatory included the Showcase of seasonal flowers, the Tropical House with rare and exotic plants, and the Arid House with North American desert plants. The Conservatory was avail- able for the public to hold wed- dings, dances, and other organiza- tional functions. The Fort Wayne Art Museum opened on April 15 with a show enti- tled Indiana Influence. It included 70 landscapes of Indiana and 50 con- temporary pieces. Dr. Steven McMurray, President-Elect of the Art Museum, said, The museum had an impressive mixture of styles and art- ists. I think the community found it had a lot to offer. — Shelly Dettmer 1 Competition runs wild How did you do on your English test? The band gets a number one rating . . . Concordia beats Nor- throp. . . . The choir will perform this Saturday ... Grades! Contests! Winning! Losing! Competition. A matter of life and death? The challenge of competition to some was a major part of daily liv- ing. I needed to be challenged, and competition made me try harder. I felt it was a necessary part of life, said Tanya Stedge, senior. Competition went farther than just grades, sports, drama, and mu- sic abilities. It included looks, popu- larity, clothes, and in general, mak- ing the grade in society. These types of challenges, along with the others, caused stress in many situa- tions, because of a great want(or need) to win. To have competition at ail, two or more people must de- sire the same goal, fn desiring that goal, there was pressure, or stress, to achieve if. But the amount of stress varied dependent upon the specific god xvi the level of others who competed with an tndtvtduaS for that goai, commented Miss Dianne c . . Coupes h n ' - • vy:pf id without competition? ' Some of us would re main competitive under any cir- cumstances. It is built into some, but not others, stated Mr. Paul Wills. Without competition, certain types of people would become very lazy. There would still be peo- ple who worked hard, but not as many, commented Stedge. Positive results of competing in- cluded the feeling of accomplishing that special goal, or at least know- ing that no matter what, the best effort was given. Negative aspects included the hint of failure, along with the feelings of jealousy and in- feriority. — Laura Abdon Affer searching tor a quiet spot o r y, •• -. • homework, senior Lisa Barnhart and junior , ■ Staley find solace in the band room Studying together before school for a go ometry quiz, sophomores Melinda Walker and Missy Scheumann test each other ' s knowledge 1983-84: Violent times Marines were involved in heavy shelling in Lebanon again today! U.S. troops invaded Grenada! Soviets down a Korean jetliner! Nuclear war seems imminent! These major headlines were seen in daily newspapers and heard on the news during 1983-84. Perhaps the most recurrent story was that ot the military action in Lebanon. Our Marines were victims of several bombings with little possi- bility of total withdrawal. Prompted by the movie The Day After, a film which showed the devastation of nuclear war, the topic of nuclear weapons roused many heated discussions. I thought it was good that they showed it be- cause so many people saw it and maybe realized how terrible nuclear war can be, stated sophomore Tim Klage. On Feb. 10, 1984, Soviet leader Yuri Andropiv died. Andropov hadn ' t been seen in public since Au- gust. Despite the bad news we so often heard, our nation had some good news too. The inflation rate and un- employment figures were down and the economy showed signs of improvement. During the year, astronaut Sally Riae made history as she became the first American woman in space. When it came to entertainment, one name summed up the entire year: Michael Jackson. Jackson ' s al- bum Thriller was number one on the album charts at the beginning and the end of 1983. — Susie Lytal Athletes go for gold The Olympic tracBtion continued in 1984 as America ' s young Olympi- ans journeyed to Sarajevo, Yugosla- via to participate in fhe Winter Games.

Midnight Mistletoe captured the mood for those who attended the Christmas dance. Spectrum, Light and Sound supplied the music to dance to and many couples en- joyed the atmosphere created by candlelight and Christmas trees.

Seven young women, not expected to do much, took the cross country championship hands down. Their victory changed things for the entire student body of 700. It was great to win a state cham- pionship, plus we got out of school for the day, proclaimed junior Jeff Small wood. But the girls cross country wasn ' t the only team to boast a fine record. The volleyball team won the Indianapolis Lutheran Tournament and were ranked 11th in the final coaches poll. The winning didn ' t stop there. It was great to see the football team come back from a 21 -point hole and win the Homecoming game, said football fanatic Troy Scheumann. More excitement came with the boys basketball sectionals in March. Hoosier Hysteria filled every Cadet fan with enthusiasm. The spirit was good, comment- ed cheerleader Belinda Schust, The fans really got into the cheers. Win or lose, from the kickoff to the last second shot at the buzz- er, the diehard Cadet fan always supported the team enthusiasti- cally. — Andy Simerman Sports Division 37 While being closely followed by an oppo- nent, senior Becky Drees lengthens her stride to increase her lead.

Excellent runners finish undefeated With only three years of competi- tion behind them, the Girls ' Cross Country team accomplished what some had considered impossible. They placed first in the state meet after finishing the season undefeat- ed in dual meets. They also placed first in Sectionals, beating previously unbeaten Northrop and second in Regionals, from which they ad- vanced to state competition. Junior Tammy Brandt said, When we won Sectionals and State, everybody went wild. We thought we could win, but we just had to prove it to ourselves. We were all hugging each eather and I had nev- er seen bigger smiles. According to Coach Craig Hoff- man, a major factor in the improve- ment this season was the addition of seniors Beth and Becky Drees and sophomore Melinda Walker. We had a good team to begin with, but when there were excellent runners like Melinda roaming the halls and Beth and Becky transferring in from Texas, I knew if I could get them to come out, we would have an ex- cellent team. Senior co-captain Beth Drees said, We had been trying to beat Northrop all year long, and when your team works together as well as we did, you know you can accom- plish it. When we won Sectionals and State, we did it. Coach Hoffman stated, It ' s great to be a winner! — Susie Lytal 1983 Girls ' Cross Country Team: FRONT ROW: Mgr. E. Doeden, C. Miller. M. Fick, S. Wade.

Girls ' Cross Country 39 Intense sport demands discipline Running a two and one-half course against Bishop Dwenger at the Seminary, sophomore Troy Panning dashes toward the finish line. Pushing toward the finish line, freshman Paul Smith places 12th in a meet against Snider, New Haven and Wayne. i i i n i i np ii n It takes concentration, self-disci- pline and dedication to be success- ful on the Boys ' Cross Country team. This was proven by this years ' team, who finished a winning season and qualified for Sectionals and Region- al. The high point was not only run- ning in Sectionals and Regionals, but also qualifying an individual, senior Jim Serstad, to Semi-State. My big- gest thrills were receiving a 16:24 at McMillen and Shoaff Park, said co- captain Serstad. This time also set a new school record. Running killer intervals and fighting the pain prepared them to win their meets. Concentrating on my pace, ignoring the pain, and asking for the Lord ' s help were my thoughts that came before a meet, said ju- nior Dave Smith. Generally speaking, cross country is one of the more demanding sports when it comes to condition- ing, said Coach Hoffman. One and half hours nonstop at a training pace demonstrates the intensity of the cross country runners. I think this season was great be- cause we worked together as a team, not as one person. Also we had a lot fewer injuries, said Eric Hoffman. — Tammy Reed 1983 Boys ' Cross Country team: FRONT ROW; J. Bakalar. T. Rettig. C. Johnston. J Serstad. D. Smith. E. Hoffman. T. Panning.

We worked hard from the very beginning, commented senior Sue Scrogham. The girls conditioned three mornings a week in August, and captain and Most Valuable Player Dawn Bohnke said, Even all that work was fun because every- one was so close. Dawn Bohnke and Cheryl Gotsch were named to the All-SAC first team, and Coleen Henkelmann was chosen for the All-SAC second team. Other awards included Cheryl Gotsch, Mental Attitude; and Cherise Dixie, Most Improved Player. The team participated in invita- tional tournaments outside of regu- lar season games. They captured first place at the Indianapolis Luth- eran tourney and second at the La- fayette Jefferson Invitational. Play- ing that many games throughout the day helped me feel more confi- dent about my playing and in- creased my stamina, commented sophomore varsity player Stephanie Ptlughaupt. Despite not advancing out of the sectional, Coach Bob Michael felt the success of the season shouldn ' t necessarily be measured by the win-loss record; the players main- tained good mental attitudes, and that made the season a success. — Shelly Dettmer Varsity Volleyball 43 1983 Reserve Volleyball Team: FRONT ROW: Mgr.

To many of the freshmen, these words were new. I had to learn to set the ball properly, along with holding my arms correctly to bump, confessed freshman spiker Kelly Hegerfeld. The team had to learn that in high school, unlike grade school, one of the first rules is the bump, set, spike. With the freshman team, I was more concerned with developing skills than with winning the games. They needed to be prepared for fu- ture years, so some games were sacrificed for basic technique. They also learned how to work as a team, an essential part of volleyball, said Coach LuAnn Davis. The reserve team had many ad- justments to make. Two reserve players, Stephanie Pflughaupt and Cherise Dixie, were moved up to varsity, causing other reserve play- ers to lose some confidence. At the start of the season, our team was down mentally because of the switch, and we had to work hard to rebuild our confidence, said re- serve setter Laura Heilman. The team ' s confidence was soon restored, especially after their win over Dwenger in the SAC tourna- ment. It took three long games to beat Dwenger, one of the best teams in SAC play. This win, along with victories over Luers and Nor- throp, enabled the team to place second. — Laura Abdon Frosh Reserve Volleyball 45 Injury disappoints, tournaments please Although the Boys ' Tennis Team lost to Luers in the Sectional Finals, the young men thought they had a very successtul season over all. They advanced to the Sectional Finals by defeating Leo, Dwenger, and South Side. The team was aided in spirit and talent by the return of freshman Bri- an Doster. Doster was unable to play during the regular season due to an injured Achilles Tendon. His teammates and coaches were glad to see him back on the court for the Sectional Finals. We were able to beat teams that beat us during the regular season. We were pleased to get as far as we did, stated coach Don Reinking. Junior David Walters, the number three seeded singles player said, Not only was he good, but he helped the team. The team won the Concord Invi- tational, a tournament that was new to them. Senior Thad Saleska said, The Concord Invitational showed that we were behind each other 100 percent. Our enthusiasm was at its highest level. The Reserve team closed it ' s sea- son with a record of 1 1 wins, and 4 losses. Sophomore Craig Mueller said, Everybody was really close in ability so wherever he put us we usually won. Junior Marc Lewis commented, We worked hard and it paid off in our record. — Cheryl Engebrecht Tony Car- stens Number one doubles player, senior Brad Druhot practices after school.

In cluster competition, the Ca- dets beat Heritage. Norwell. and Woodlan, with the only loss coming at the hands of Bishop Luers. Even though the gridders didn ' t win the cluster, it still had a positive effect. The cluster system made us work harder and play better. said co-captain James Keefer. Another factor that helped the Cadets to a successful season was the large team, which consisted of 60 men. This year we had a sepa- rate offense and defense. Nobody had to go both ways, commented junior Craig Witte. The offense played a big part in the winning season, as they broke nine school records. Senior tackle Dave Hess credits this to coaching. Coach Benson worked us long and hard. He was concerned with us getting the plays down. The defense was great, said head coach Dick Wert. They broke three school records and placed four men on the second All-SAC team. John Lahmeyer, All-SAC running back, attributed the successful sea- son to confidence. The offense had confidence in the defense and the defense had confidence in the offense. — Andy Simerman Varsity Football 49 Reserves win late frosh shut out four An overtime victory against Woodlan and a fourth quarter win over Luers in the season ' s final game accented the 1983 reserve football team ' s season. While establishing a 4-2 record along with a forfeit from Wayne, the reserve Cadets earned three of their four victories after being down to their opponents. Nothing builds team unity like coming from behind, especially late in the game, as we did this year, remarked coach Mar- tin Moro. The team ' s two platoon system intensified unity, he said. Against Luers the squad was down by a score of 12-0 at halftime, but rallied to score three touch- downs in the final quarter to take the lead and secure a 20-12 win. Sophomore Mark East, who had the three touchdown receptions, com- mented, In the second half we came out and knew we had to start playing football. We started playing more as a team and that ' s when everything came together. It was a team effort. The 1983 freshman football team chalked up four shutouts. Coach Ron Stelzer felt that the team members displayed fine sportsmanship to accompany their productive play. The players relat- ed to each other, the opposition and the coaches very well. They were great representatives of CLHS and everything it stands for. — Tim Miller In a sweep around the left, freshman running back Maurice Boykins stretches to break an attempted tackle.

The team itself had one of their best seasons but it was the last year for their coach, Mrs. LuAnn Da- vis. We all felt that it was to be the best year, remarked senior Tina Salyer. The team appreciated Mrs. Davis for all the help she gave us. One of the reasons for the gym- nastic team ' s great season, Davis said, was that we had the most talent we have ever had. The competition was tough for the newcomers, but they showed a lot of power and potential in their routines. Freshman Carol Wade be- came a dominant figure on the team by setting new school records in all events. As a freshman, Carol really start- ed to make a name for herself, commented Davis. By their pres- ence on the optional team, both Carol and freshman Becky Carter helped the other team members to work harder and try new routines. During all the hard, long practices, a sense of team workmanship pre- vailed at the meets. You always wanted to do good but you also hoped that somebody on the team did better. The best part was the feeling of accomplish- ment, said Salyer, when you had given it all you had, you got so much in return. _ Beth Bartelt Gymnastics 53 Determined team never gives up After the Cadets get the rebound, senior Joy Scheele dodges a Wayne opponent. Attempting a comeback against the Wayne Generals, senior Sue Scrogham makes a jump shot. Determination was the key ele- ment that held the varsity girls ' bas- ketball team together through a season which saw few victories. Sure they made mistakes, com- mented coach Don Reinking, but they never stopped hustling. They gave it their all down to the last min- ute, win or lose. Although the season had its disap- pointing moments, it had its high- lights too. The most thrilling moment was when the girls came from be- hind in the last few minutes to beat SouthSide. It was really exciting to beat a tough team in a game like that. It helped keep our spirits up during the rest of the season, said senior Dawn Bohnke. The team, which started practice in mid-October, hoped to accom- plish many things including improved shooting and rebounding. We were good at keeping fouls down to a minimum. This was probably our strongest area and helped us to win the games that we did, stated senior Tammy Reed. One major problem was the lack of experience. Senior Katrina Nom- may was unable to play because of a knee injury, so the team relied heavily upon a few sophomores and juniors. — Rob Lucas Driving towards the basket, senior Sue Scrogham dribbles over halfcourt while the team sets up the play. 54 Varsity Girls Basketball In the game against DeKalb, sophomore Cherise Dixie searches for assistance from a fellow Cadet 1983-84 Varsity Girls Basketball team: FRONT ROW: C.

In a flash of blue, yellow, and red stripes, the varsity basketball team surprised the school with new warm- up suits. The nine-year-old warm-ups went in the closet and new ones were picked out by coach Glenn Parrish. I liked the new warm-ups because they were different and gave our team a special flare, said junior Vernon Johnson. Another special addition for our varsity team was the assistance of sophomores Todd Tucker and Ricky Jordan. The sophomores devel- oped into an integral part of the team, said Parrish. Although the team did not emerge with a winning record, they put up a struggle in many close games. Throughout their season, they maintained a determination to strive for continual improvement. The team had an exceptional amount of individual talent, espe- cially in the areas of shooting and ball handling, but had difficulty func- tioning as a unit, said Parrish. I never played on a team with so much potential. I just regret that we were not able to bring that talent together for a winning season.

Trying to outjump his opponent from Bell- mont. freshman Jerry Reinking tips it to a Ca- det player. Hoosier Hysteria struck again at the reserve ana frosh levels, as both squads posted winning records. Team play, which was highly stressed, contributed to the frosh ' s winning season. It took 5 players to win a game, said coach Wayne Panning. Playing together enabled them to win against Snider, which was their best game. The game was won by a last second shot by Mark McCrory. We really hustled that game, stated McCrory. Coach Panning wasn ' t just con- cerned with winning, however. One of my goals was to develop the players to compete at the re- serve level. Winning was important for those already at the reserve level. We wanted to improve our record over last years and win both tourna- ments, replied junior Paul Schult. They were successful in improving their record and they won the Hun- tington Tournament. The reserves best game came in a rematch against Wayne. We lost to them before, but we beat them the second time with a half court press, explained junior Dana Mar- tin. Playing together accounted for much of the team ' s success. When we played there was no outstand- ing star, everybody worked togeth- er, commented coach Jack Mas- succi. — Andy Simerman Frosh Reserve Basketball 61 Wrestlers advance: Two on to state Go for the takedown! Get that pin! These yells were heard from the crowd and the coaches. But what was the sport? It was wres- tling, the sport based on an indivi- dual ' s stamina. Wrestling helped individuals im- prove their strength, coordination, and stamina, along with teaching them to get up and start again after suffering a set-back. Also, it showed that God is pleased if we use our athletic abilities in conjunc- tion with his will, stated Coach Ed LeBeau. Preparation for a match consisted of many things. First I made sure I was loose, then I psyched myself up. I thought about how many people (fans, my coach and teammates) were counting on me to win. Finally, I asked God to be with me, said senior Jim Keller. There were many goals that wres- tlers sought, and although the goals were tough, they were well within reach. The team ' s goals included winning SAC, sectionals, and region- al. My personal goal was to take state, commented senior Dan Goeglein. The wrestling team as a whole wrestled in 13 meets, losing only two tough battles to Snider and New Ha- ven. Two wrestlers, Alan and Brad Druhot, finished the regular season undefeated. Six wrestlers continued on to regionals, four of those went to semi-state, and two seniors, Alan Druhot and Dan Goeglein, contin- ued on to state. — Laura Abdon After a grueling day of wrestling, senior Jim Keller receives the first place trophy from Coach Ed LeBeau at the Concordia Wrestling Invitational In a match against a NorthSide opponent, junior Steve Wagner works to score two points with a takedown 1983-84 Varsity Wrestling Team: FRONT ROW D Bultemeyer.

Wrestlers usually weren ' t consid- ered the most graceful of athletes, but both the reserve and freshman wrestlers were graced with winning seasons. Sophomore Paul Lagemann said the highlight of the season was the Snider tournament. The reserves placed fifth in the SAC tournament, and Coach Ed Le- Beau observed that it was a good showing since we could only fill sev- en of the 13 weight classes. Big wins against Dwenger and Northrop were highlights. LeBeau commented, Many frosh and reserves had fine personal win loss records and gained valuable experience. — Cheryl Engebrecht RESERVE WRESTLING Cadets Opponents 24 SouthSide 9 25 Northrop 6 26 Elmhurst 12 Snider 20 44 Dwenger 10 20 New Haven 35 49 NorthSide 12 42 Luers FRESHMAN V, SE$ TL 12 Northrop 9 6 Dwenger 5 Reserve SAC Tournament 5th place Reserve Record: 6-2 SAC Record: 6-1 Frosh Record: 2-0 Frosh Reserve Wrestling 65 Cheerleaders enjoy involving crowd In the freezing cold, the pouring rain, or unbearable heat, through victories and defeats, the cheer- leading squads stayed through till the very end. Cheerleaders often did more than simply cheer at boys varsity games. Varsity captain Willie Cordes ex- plained, We had a squad at every home meet or game. We wanted to support the teams better. The cheerleaders tried to incite the fans and players. This year was the best they (the fans) had ever been, said Cordes. The best time was when everybody was cheering with us, and we got the crowd go- ing. I enjoyed getting the crowd in- volved in cheers, and I liked it when we got a good response for the team we were supporting, said senior Sandi VonDeylen. The freshmen cheerleaders got more involved in the cheering. T Irmscher said, We found out that we were the first freshmen to do the school song. It was a real privilege. Mrs. Joan Grossman, the cheer- leading sponsor, commented, I en- joyed working with the freshmen. They wanted to look good and be impressive. After you ' ve been a cheerleader for four years, your pep starts to wear down a bit. — Cheryl Engebrecht Going western at the winter sports pep ses- sion, the Varsity cheerleading squad per- forms the cheer Showdown Varsity cheerleaders do the cheer Gotta Work during a time-out in the Concordia- Northrop basketball game 66 Cheerleaders Cheerleaders 67 68 Organizations Division Students active in clubs Or ' rganizations at Concordia of- offered opportunities for students to become involved in a variety of school activities. Music, mili- tary, publications, and language clubs represented some of the areas available. Besides being enjoyable, they encouraged L. learning outside the classroom. Kristi Wetzel functioned as the first woman Cadet Lieutenant Colonel in ROTC, and members of the rifle team Marcia Mathieu and Paul Weiss defeated Chan- nel 21 ' s Greg Johans in an I Chal- lenge Greg shoot off. The LuHi staff welcomed the addition of a word processor to set type, and the Lumo staff strived to surpass the previous yearbook ' s All-American Award. A tour of Canada and Niagara Falls highlighted the year for a ca- pella members, and the band re- ceived superior ratings in section- al and regional competition. The upperclassmen in the Latin Club bought slaves for the even- ing of the Latin Banquet, and members of the French Club held the annual Mardi Gras. As part of Cadet life, these or- ganizations enabled students to develop their areas of interest as well as their academic intellect. — Shelly Dettmer Raising money for new pom-pon uni- forms, juniors Polly Antibus and Jennifer McMillen persuade Regina Moorhead to buy some M Ms. Attending a Student council dance, stu- dents dance to the music of Spectrum. Light, and Sound. Organizations Division 69 Council seeks support Student Council, unlike other or- ganizations which usually dealt with a specitic interest, affected almost every student. Probably one of the most active groups. Student Council put a spe- cial emphasis on getting students to become active members of the stu- dent body. We wanted people to do more than come to dances. We tried to get them interested in other school and community activities such as blood donor day, said Stu- dent Council president, senior Bryan Meyer. Student Council was responsible for getting things organized, but we tried to get as many people from the student body to help plan, set up, and clean up as we could, said sophomore Kolleen Macke. The ex- tra time and effort was evident in the record setting participation. At- tendence numbers peaked at 500 for a Student Council dance and at 280 for the Christmas dance. A major concern of the Student Affairs Committee was the relation- ship between students and faculty. They also tried to get students to participate. The committee raised support for the Lutheran Outreach canned food drive and Christmas Bureau families by promoting the idea of Shine by Sharing. We wanted to remind people that they were sharing God ' s gifts and not just giving handouts, commented ju- nior Kim Huge. — Rob Lucas Student Affairs Committee: FRONT ROW: K. Wick. C. Weiss. N.

Boys ' FCA discussed current topics, planned the Spring retreat to Kramer Park, watched movies about sports figures, and joined the girls in caroling. Girls ' FCA started the year with a new adviser, Miss Lisa Schroer. It was great to be with so many girls who believed in Christ. It was re- freshing to know that teenagers still held convictions, commented Schroer. But FCA wasn ' t just a place to have fun. It was a place to share problems. It was reassuring to know there were other girls that felt like I did, that they had the same frustrations about their Christianity, said senior Jana Goeglein, president of Girls ' FCA. I thought it was good for fresh- men to see seniors admit Christ was their Savior, stated President Dave Moellering. It was hard being president be- cause we had to set an example.

Zierer Candy sales profitable fund raiser Buy a box of M M ' s, please . . . it ' s only 50c! This phrase was sure to be heard by just about anyone who walked the school hallways. M M sales proved to be one of the best ways to raise money — something always needed by many clubs and organizations. Candy generated the most suc- cess because students didn ' t have to go door to door. said Mr. Fred Weiss, head of fundraising. Besides candy, some other unique methods were used to create in- comes. The Spanish Club held its second annual Mexican dinner, cheerleaders pushed I LOVE CLHS buttons. Selling canisters for choir was good, because we made a lot of money, said senior Linda Roden- beck. Aside from the individual group sales, the annual citrus fruit, cheese and sausage sales provided funds for the computer room. Each stu- dent was asked to participate in the effort. Combined, the two sales raised a total of $12,764. AAL ' s matching funds of $5,000 brought the grand total to $13,200 — enough to buy four new computers and one new printer. — Susan Knipstein Silkscreening designs on to T-shirts, Art Club members Tim Blad and Scott Bieberich check the finished product.

It was open to any student with an interest in art. They met every Tuesday after school, under the leadership of Mrs. Joan Grossman. The attendance was not always as steady as I would have liked, but many students were often tied up with other activities after school, said Grossman. Despite their small number, this club did many creative activities. As an after-school project, some art club members work on making stencils to be used for their glass etching. Favorites seemed to be putting their own designs on T-shirts and glass etching. They also toured near by art museums and did a little work for school groups like making post- ers. As a special effort, they pro- vided some assistance in making a few of the auction decorations. I went to the meetings when- ever I had a chance. We did a lot of fun projects and I ' m glad I was in it. I wish more people would have given it a try, commented sophomore Sarah Stalder. — Susan Knipstein Art Club 75 Small bands add sparkle The 198384 Jazz Band: FRONT ROW: B. Sat- terfield, P.

I enjoyed drawing and expanding from them to improve in- dividual development, said Mr. Paul Wills. The jazz band played a different style of music by bringing out the trench horns and a more upbeat type of music. Senior Thad Saleska explained, It gave a small group of us a chance to have a good time with a style of music that let us ex- press ourselves individually. The bell choir practiced twice a week after school which gave them extra time to improve their talent and tackle more difficult music. The orchestra demonstrated a mellow sound as they played for South Pacific. The Cadet Band had 28 freshmen and played for two concerts. Fresh- man Ron Boren said, I enjoyed it because there were more instru- ments to work with and the songs sounded much better than grade school. — Pam Reinking The 1983-84 Bell C io r: FRONT ROW: T.

Kinne introduced a new atten- dance system in which each section leader gave the students in their section points for being present or tardy, and no points if absent. Points could also be taken away for bad behavior. Grades were partly based on attendance. I thought Mr. Kinne was a very unique choir director. He ' s a great asset to the music department. He made some much needed changes, stated sophomore Stephanie Dowden. In spite of the many changes dur- ing the year, A Cappella still partici- pated in the Pops, Christmas, and Spring Concerts and Christmas at Concordia. They also took part in th e ISSMA contest held in April.

No, Mens ' and Womens ' Choruses was correct. The name had been changed by new choir director, Mr. Tim Kinne. Kinne also combined the Advanced Girls ' Chorus with the Girls ' s Chorus into just one group. I changed it because it sounded as though Advanced Girls ' Chorus was for speedier people and Girls ' Cho- rus was for slow people, explained Kinne. In past years, the number of men in choral groups decreased to a rather low number. According to Kinne, the number of men in Mens ' Chorus increased greatly. I joined Mens ' Chorus to get involved in something at Concordia, said freshman Warren Jarvis. The last of the smaller choral groups was Singers. This group con- sisted of 16 people who also be- longed to A Cappella. They put in extra time after school for rehears- als. Along with the extra rehearsal time, came the special perfor- mances as Singers entertained the crowd at the Cadets in Cadence Auction, and the visitors and work- ers in the lobby of the Lincoln Na- tional Bank building during Christ- mas. They also performed at the Pops, Christmas, and Spring Con- certs and the Christmas at Con- cordia service.

NHS: more than honor National Honor Society members did more than just being elected to the honorary group. On January 20. the group went bowling, and then to the Wayne vs. Concordia bas- ketball game. After the game, they met for pizza and pop. The top fifteen percent of the senior class was inducted into Na- tional Honor Society. This included 28 seniors. At the groups first meet- ing, they elected Dan Bultemeyer as president, Paul Pasche as vice- president, and Shelly Dettmer as se- cretary treasurer. President Dan Bultemeyer said, I organized meetings and social ac- tivities. I listened to suggestions and was thankful for the input that made National Honor Society a success this year. — Sandi VonDeylen 82 NHS Service workers assist Being a service worker gave stu- dents a chance to help others. It was also an opportunity to do something with a free hour, or to learn a new skill. The reason I worked in student services was because I had a study- hall and I didn ' t have anything else to do, commented junior Andy Knudten. Service workers included cafete- ria workers, library workers, audio- visual workers, student service help- ers and gym helpers.

Members of French classes de- signed Noel-A-Grams before Christ- mas and used the profit to attend a concert by Jocelyn Berube ' Barde. For the first time an Honors Reception was held each semester to recognize outstanding French students. The Latin Banquet, with its menu and entertainment similar to that of early Rome, highlighted the year for most Latin students. I really en- joyed dressing up and having fresh- man slaves for the day, comment- ed senior Tanya Stedge. Mr. Paul Buetow hoped to hold Olympics in the Spring and have the events cor- respond to early Roman competi- tion. Students in the Spanish Club held their second annual Mexican Dinner. The meal was prepared by Casa Grande and Pepsi Cola, and Spanish students were responsible for serv- ing and cleaning up. They designed posters, yarn projects, and pinatas to use as decorations. The pro- ceeds were donated to a Mexican orphanage. — Shelly Dettmer The Latin Club: FRONT ROW: L. Kershaw, D. Pardel. S. Morse. S. Dowden, S . Lytal, R. Ritz. J. Keller. SECOND ROW: J. Scardino, S.

Fundraising was another area the band and flags worked together. They won the Battle of the Bands sponsored by Wendy ' s. Their first place finish awarded them $3200 to be used for band equipment. Pom-pons required a lot of work.

There were enough of us who had our own snowmobiles that we decided to form a club. said soph- omore member Todd Saalfrank. Among the group ' s activities were trips to the trails in Hoagland on Jan 14 and to South Bend on Jan. 28. The club also offered its ser- vices in the case of snow emergen- cies. A roster with the names and telephone numbers of the members was given to the Sheriff ' s Dept. so they could be contacted to help, said advisor Sgt. Paul Miller. Another seasonal club, the Ski Club, made a trip to the slopes of Bittersweet, Michigan on a tour with The Travel Place, on Feb. 4. The Science Club visited the Mu- seum of Science and Industry in Chi- cago and the planetarium at St. Francis College. The objective of the club was to have some science- related activities outside of school and give interested students further experiences beyond those of the classroom, commented advisor Mr. Martin Moro. The Afro-American Club reorga- nized according to advisor Mr. Da- vid Gemmer. The officers got more together and got with the people in the club to see what they wanted. said Marjorie Woodard, the club ' s vice-president.

That was the idea behind Peer Counseling. Peer Counseling was a help and support group that gave students someone their own age to talk to about problems, said Mr. John Marks, advisor and trainer. Ten Concordia students attend- ed a week of training sessions last summer to become counselors. Senior counselor Gretchen Walther said, It felt good to be able to help other people sort out problems. We tried to increase awareness of the program in the student body by introducing it to the freshman classes, said senior Jana Goeglein — Tim Miller Afro-Am.

All typesetting could now be done by staff members at school. It made things easier and less expen- sive, commented editor Sue Dun- ton. A Challenge was added to the paper. The Lu-Hi printed their picks in either football or basketball games and challenged the reader to out- wit them. We put this in to add something unique to the paper, said sports editor Joe Schlie. Even with the changes in the pa- per it still had one basic purpose. The paper ' s purpose was to inform the student body of school events in an interesting way, stated assis- tant editor Dirk Vonderlage. — Andy Simerman Long hours put into Lumo ' s new look 4 To keep up with today ' s ever- changing trends the Luminarian switched to a more modern con- cept. We decided to go for the con- temporary look. It ' s a lot different than books in the past, comment- ed editor Jana Goeglein.

But much of the yearbook is work. Junior Tim Miller pointed out, It was a challenge to get your copy done on time. The photgraphers didn ' t have it any easier. The staff was always on their backs demanding perfect pic- tures. It ' s hard to keep up with all the deadlines, remarked Randy Patterson. Fundraisers, such as booster sales and the Cadet Connection yellow pages added color to the Luminar- ian and lowered costs for the stu- dents. One of the more personal fundraisers was the selling of flower- grams. Sophomore Laura Abdon stated, They brightened your day. It showed someone cared Early on a Saturday morning you might have found the staff working to meet a deadline at one of their six workshops.

This meet last- ed all day and consisted of 21 schools including some from Illinois, Minnesota, and Ohio as well as Indi- ana. This meet gave the cadets learning experiences in planning, or- ganizing, and controlling the event, commented Major Tibor Bierbaum. They learned from the activity an their service in a man- agement position. Along with this event, there were 13 extracurricular activities that kept the JROTC cadets busy. One of the most recent was the signal platoon, in its second year. This group consisted of eight people who taped the drill teams while practicing. These tapes helped the teams to see their mistakes in order to correct and improve them. The Clendenen Drill Meet was also taped for a program on Channel 10. Mascot, in its third year, was also one of the newer teams. The mas- cot was made up of four of the best members from the snap squad. This team introduced the Varsity Basket- ball team before each ho me game. Orienteering was reintroduced during the last three years after be- ing dropped because of lack of in- terest.

The dictionary de- fines it as pertaining to or char- acteristic of a school. This includ- ed researching history reports, completing geometry proofs, translating Latin stories, perform- ing chemistry experiments and countless other daily assignments and reports. However, teachers as well as students went out of their way to make sure that the daily rou- tine was kept from getting too bor- ing. Someone went so far as to or- der two pizzas from Domminos Pizza for Mr. Kurt Jordan ' s fourth hour Eng- lish O. class. In Mr. Don Luepke ' s math classes, he attempted to keep student ' s in- terest alive by adding bright spots ' and interesting assignments to the class curriculum. One such Trig Calc. assignment required students to do something that they had nev- er done before just because I want to know. Several teachers tried to keep the mood in their classes light by tell- ing all kinds of stories. Still others oc- casionally strayed from the subject and ended up talking about ever- ything from school events to college football with their students. Thanks to the various angles from which both students and teachers approached their classes, learning was always a challenge. — Rob Lucas 97 Academlcs Division School gets good grades Sensational! That was the word that described the 1983-84 school year from Guenther Herzog ' s point of view. His reasons included great academic standards, a state cham- pionship, the largest CEF dinner yet, and very good marks from the North Central Accredidation Evaluation. The responsibilities of operating the school were based on the deci- sions of the Board of Directors. They were then carried out by the Ad- ministration. Mr. Herzog explained, I enjoy visiting with teachers and stu- dents, but I was often ' chained ' to my desk! Curriculum and faculty responsi- bly fell on Asst. Principal Mr. Paul Buetow. He took care of scheduling problems and worked on new cur- riculum. Mr. John Marks, Assistant Principal, was in charge of dealing with stu- dents, mainly discipline and atten- dance. He also headed the peer counseling program. Asst. Principal Mr. Glenn Parrish was in charge of secretaries, custo- dians, and cafeteria staff. Making sure the building and stadium re- ceived proper care was also his job. I worked with super people.

A group of 42 representa- tives work behind the scenes, after school hours, making Concordia run smoothly. This group is the Board of Direc- tors. The Board consists of two elected adults from each associ- ation church, two elementary teachers, and two pastoral advi- sors. The Board of Directors meets ev- ery third Monday of the month. Their job is to discuss and review budget- ing money, equipment to be pur- chased, fundraisers, tuition costs, problems within the school and con- cerns of the parents. The Board also reviews ana hires Concordia ' s ad- ministration and faculty. Ronald Reinking. member of the Board for 13 years and current vice president says, I enjoy being part of the Board because I don ' t think there is anything more important than the Christian education of the young people. He also likes to par- ticipate because it ' s a wholesome and worthwhile activity and my contributions are appreciated. Reinking says although it ' s a privi- lege to be on the Board, it creates difficult challenges because so many opinions are expressed. — Pam Reinking The 1983-84 Board of Directors: FRONT ROW: G.

Although it was monotonous, students felt it was worthwhile. Knowing how to type will be an advantage when papers, reports, etc. need to be done for high school and college classes. Many businesses use computers (which have keyboards), so knowing how to type will make things easier when I get out into the world, said Ruth Dahling, sophomore. Along with typing, there were other courses filed under business: Accounting (with 25 students per class), Electronic Recordkeeping (with an average class of 24), and Advanced Accounting (averaging 14 students). Each of these, togeth- er with typing, was considered to be a necessary part of life which could not be obtained after high school without additional time and money being spent to learn the skill. We in the business department teach lifetime skills which will be used in both personal and business decisions that everyone will make throughout their existence. Hopeful- ly we can give a good background to each business student in our classes, making future decisions ea- sier, stated Mr. Wayne Panning. — Laura Abdon 100 Business Department The Business faculty: and Miss Esther Ross.

A student may have chosen art only as an elective, not as a foundation for a career; yet surpris- ingly enough, it might have become their final destiny. I found that the majority of stu- dents took art because they had an interest in learning more about it. Only a few were considering art as a major in college, commented Mrs. Joan Grossman. Those who took an art class, whether as a credit towards their careers or just for pleasure, liked do- ing the various types of artwork. We did a lot of drawing, which in- cluded still life portraits and drawing pictures chosen from magazines, along with painting. I really enjoyed being in the class, especially when we did things involving painting, stated Tim Klage, sophomore. — Laura Abdon Taking an Art and Man test, sophomore Amy Dafforn works to complete it before the bell rings.

The class was very informative. It helped me to manage my time and money better, commented senior Stephanie Kroemer. The students were able to visit a credit union bank for financing and a grocery store for pricing and plan- ning menus. The basics of doing laundry and sewing were taught as well as how to buy a house and manage a budget. I was able to bring out the prior- ity of giving to the church when planning a budget, noted Mrs. VonDeylen.

In today ' s society human ap- proach is critical and that ' s where communicating helps make you more successful, remarked Bier- baum. Through this form of human contact, leadership can be learned. In the JROTC program the cadets were able to learn from the exper- iences and knowledge of Bierbaum and Sgt. Miller. The visibility of the uniform and military procedure was part of how the cadets got the chance to experience leadership. During the three years that I was in JROTC I had some very interesting and unusual experiences, com- mented junior Chip Evanson. While in my third year, I was given more responsibility, which was the final pay off for all that I had done in the first two years. Responsibility was the key aspect for me. Over the first three years of JROTC, the emphasis of person-to- person interactions and proper ap- proach to communicating was giv- en to cadets. In the fourth year, Bier- baum and Miller guided the cadets in management, planning, and or- ganizing. The fourth year cadets then used what they learned in their activities over the year, while they set an example for the rest of the unit. — Beth Bartelt.

Learning by experiencing A variety of learning e periences comprised the English Department. Reading, writing, grammar, and lit- erature were some of the many to- pics learned or reviewed during the year. Freshmen in Reading Improve- ment and Study Skills (RISS) visited local businesses to see how the ba- sic skills of language, math, and per- sonal discipline applied to real-life situations. Students in English Orientation for College wrote a new type of term paper for Mr. Kurt Jordan. The Comparative Analysis Research Pa- per was an attempt to have stu- dents see relationships between two of the outside reading books studied earlier in the semester, ex- plained Jordan. The Humanities class visited the first exhibit in Fort Wayne ' s new Mu- seum of Art and took the annual trip to Chicago to view several special- ity museums and architectual de- signs. Wednesdays were designated as test workshops in the Learning Center. At that time strategies for taking both standardized and teacher-written tests were dis- cussed. Mrs. Jordan showed me different ways of taking notes and studying for tests, and was very sup- portive, said senior Mary Gadow. — Shelly Dettmer In the Learning Center frank Newyear con- centrates on taking world history notes while Trina Nommay reviews government.

Ju- nior Mark Witmer, third year German student said, I was interested in the the language because it was my family and Lutheran background. I thought it might open up some doors to college. Mr. Paul Buetow believed that Latin was a tremendous aid to anyone who worked with English. Buetow also believed that one of the reasons to have taken it was the effect of Latin on PSAT or SAT scores. Second year Spanish students learned more vocabulary. We were able to put different things to- gether and form our own conversa- tions, said junior Polly Antibus. Eleven students and Mr. Eugene Falkenstern planned a trip to Ger- many in June. The w would stay for four weeks on the German Ameri- can Partnership Program. German high school students would also come to Fort Wayne. I looked for- ward to it, Falkenstern said. — Cheryl Engebrecht Third and fourth year Latin students Trans- late a story while Mr. Buetow helps them over the rough spots.

The idea is to teach them about today and prepare them for tomorrow, stated department head, Mr. Art Pinnow. Some type of social studies class was a part of most students sched- ules. U.S. History was required of ju- niors while seniors took a year of government. Even though govern- ment may not seem like an interest- ing course, Mr. LeBeau presented it in such a way that it was not only interesting but it was also fun, said senior Craig Patterson. The economics class added a new dimension to the course: Ap- plied Economics. The class actually became a small business managed and run by the students themselves. They gained hands-on experience in the business world by producing and selling a product. We learned first hand how to make important business decisions and use manage- ment techniques, commented ju- nior Tammi Brandt. — Rob Lucas During a U.S. History current events game, junior Kyle Calloway keeps score as Mr. Mas- succi presents another question to the class.

Social Studies Department 109 Scientists experiment, experience Science. What is science? This question was very tamiliar to biology students at the beginning of this year. They were given a question- aire about what they thought sci- ence was. I think science is the knowledge of the world around you and the accumulation of that knowledge, stated sophomore bi- ology student, Missy Scheumann. Besides biology, there were sev- eral other science classes offered. These were Applied Science, Chemistry, Physics, and Advanced Biology. Along with the many classes, there were many different tech- niques that science teachers used to teach their students. I used lec- tures, labs, and problem-solving in small groups, said physics teacher Mr. Martin Moro. What did students find interesting about their science class? I found chemistry interesting because I liked Mr. Anderson as a teacher and I liked all the different experiments we did, explained junior chemistry student Laura Saalfrank. — Susie Lytal Performing an experiment on Concordia Day, juniors Darrell Perry and Joe Schlie mix their chemicals in test tubes to impress visiting eighth graders. 4s Ketsana Chanthavangso observes, stu- dent teacher Mr. Doug Hobach shows the fourth hour biology class the proper proce- dure for the sterile transfer technique. 110 Science Department Flaming fhelr Inoculating loops, ' ,op r o mores Tani UN and Shawri Folwer begr, the steps for growing their own cultures The Science faculty: Mr Jon Anderson.

Add an- other to the list: IBM. All students who took a math course experienced computer training. This was a first for CLHS. As two years of math is a graduation requirement, each student will have worked with computers in at least two different courses, said Mr. Mar- tin Moro, Computer Topics teacher. The computer lab had 12 student systems by the end of the year. Department head Don Reinking, who began his 26th year of teach- ing said, Hopefully I can help stu- dents see that math is a gift of God to help us understand the world around us. Miss Lisa Schroer ' s geometry stu- dents researchea mathematicians. They enjoyed this because they found out that mathematicians are human too, she said. I can ' t really say that I like alge- bra, but I appreciate the fact that it ' s challenging, commented fresh- man Karen Bryant.

Math Department 113 Builders develop creativity Sparks flying, sawdust collecting, pencils drawing — this is all a part of the Industrial Arts Department. Taught by Mr. Fred Weiss and Mr. Dick Wert, Industrial Arts classes in- cluded Electricity Electronics, World of Construction, Drafting and Gen- eral Shop. Drafting and Shop seemed to be the most popular among students. Besides learning about machine draw ing and design, students some- times got to help with special pro- jects. A few advanced students helped construct some of the deco- rations for the Cadets in Cadence auction. The World of Construction class took time out to build special legs to hold time capsules for the benches made from name stones of the old Concordia college. I chose to take shop and drafting because I wanted to learn about mechanics, said junior Terence Rogers. I enjoy working with my hands and creating things, so when I am able to help students develop their own creativity, it gives me a great reward, concluded Weiss, chair- man of the department. — Susan Knipstein Members of the A cappella choir work on polishing the Latin song, O Magnum Myster- ium for the Christmas Concert. The Industrial Arts faculty: Mr Fred Weiss, chairman, and Mr. Dick Wert 114 lndustrial Arts Department Music expresses feeling Many don ' t realize that besides choir and band, the Music Depart- ment also included two classes, Mu- sic Theory and Music Appreciation. Music Theory dealt with the me- chanics of music, and students were able to work on their own for the majority of the time. I took Music Theory because I thought it would help me to learn to compose mu- sic, said senior Tim Huebschman. The second class, Music Apprecia- tion, centered on music itself. Stu- dents discussed the different eras and types of music along with some famous composers. The bands and choirs combined to form the biggest portion of the department. Bands included Cadet Band for freshmen, and Varsity Band which was selected on the basis of tryouts. Also there was the Jazz Band, Orchestra and Handbells — the extra-curricular groups. Among the choirs were the womens ' and mens ' choruses, the A cappella choir and the Singers — also an ex- tra-curricular group. I liked choir because through music you could express your feelings, said A cap- pella bass, Quinton Dixie. The department involved many people and required large amounts of time from both students and di- rectors. I feel the musical groups were rewarding for students be- cause it was one of the few classes where everyone was a team and had to work together, said Mr. Tim Kinne, choir director. — Susan Knipstein The brass section of the Varsity Band gets in the Christmas spirit while practicing the tune, Silver Sleigh. In shop class, Mr. Wert instructs Chris Roden- beck on how to operate the wood lathe. Music Department 115 Superstars debut in PE classes Off fhe walls. Behind the back. Touchdown! Frisbee football was one of the many events in the de- but of the Superstars Competition in Mr. Craig Hoffman ' s and Mr. Jack Massucci ' s Advanced Phys. Ed. classes. The competition was a series of events in which students, in teams of three, tried to accumulate the most points by winning each event. The boys participated in such events as: three-on-three basketball, obstacle course, bench press, free throws, long jump, vertical jump, and frisbee football. Frisbee football was the best of all, senior Kevin Roemer said. This fast-paced event was my best in the competition. It was something different to do, Massucci said. Mr. Hoffman started this competition, and it worked out. Since the students in this one se- mester course are either juniors or seniors, the intensity of competition was high. Just trying to beat everyone else in the gym class was my incentive for competition. Roemer said. — Andy Knudten s, In senior religion, Pastor Ron Stelzer provides a clarification on the differences between moral and civil law. The Physical Education faculty: C. Hoffman, chrm. L.

The class divided into couples and acted out a mar- riage. The whole project gave the kids an idea of what goes into getting married, Mr. Fred Weiss instructor said. Students found out in this pro- ject that their parents would be spending a lot of money on a wed- ding. I told them to go two ways, Weiss said. One way was to go the most inexpensive and economic. The other way I let them go ' hog wild. ' This was where the kids dreamt. This class, which based most of its grade on participation, also put the couples in a position of conflict which they might face as adults and parents. I asked one student to be a cou- ples ' kid and told him to tell his par- ents off, Weiss said. It ' s interesting how some of the students respond. This was one of the most practi- cal classes here at CLHS. The kids really enjoyed it, added Weiss. Included in the religion program were Religion 9, Old Testament, Contemporary Problems, Early Church, and Comparative Religions classes. — Andy Knudten The Religion department faculty. J. Marks. D.

Religion Department 117 IMC LC provide resources He found reference materials for students, helped them with re- sources, read book reviews for fu- ture orders and attended to the audio-visual equipment. These were some of the responsibilities faced by head librarian Mr. Raymond Pasche. Problems were bound to assail the IMC although care was taken to as- sure a smooth-running operation. I didn ' t have enough time to do everything and I would have rather bought the audio-visual equipment on a systematic basis, not whenever it didn ' t work anymore, stated Pasche. Meanwhile, Mrs. Shirley Jordan helped students in the Learning Center with reading difficulties, as- sisted others with studying tech- niques and gave pointers on taking tests. Jordan spent much of her day in the Learning Center doing individ- ualized work with students. She also served as a resource for teachers who needed help with specific stu- dents. There was a place in school where students could come and work one-on-one, where I helped them independently. That was what I liked about working in the Learning Center, said Jordan. — Staci Hill During second hour, sophomore Ketsana Chanthavangso, with the assistance of Mrs. Jordan, looks for the definition of words for his chemistry class. Guidance Counselors: Mr. Carl Gallmeier, Mrs. Evelyn Crownover, and Mr. Dick Wert. 118 IMC Learning Center Guidance gives direction Academics and Career Aware- ness were a big part of the guid- ance counselor ' s daily work. I dealt mostly with problems people had. For instance, if a stu- dent didn ' t have enough credits to graduate I ' d help him work for more, or if someone was having trouble with a teacher I ' d go to the source and discuss the trouble, said Mr. Carl Gallmeier. Gallmeier also helped seniors choose a vocation or college. Ca- reer Awareness aided in exposing students to many aspects of work after schooling was finished. Mrs. Evelyn Crownover headed up Career Awareness. Each month we concentrated on a different ca- reer. I tried to find different careers that I hadn ' t thought of the year before, commented Crownover. Shadowing was another way to experience a career. It gave stu- dents a first hand chance to see what that profession did from day to day. They decided whether it was something that interested them, added Crownover. Mr. Dick Wert helped sophomores work to earn more credits and pre- pare for their junior year classes. Guidance counselors were more than willing to help with many prob- lems and were glad to give any in- formation needed, stated Gall- meier. — Staci Hill £ i T The Library Staff: Mr. Raymond Pasche.

Mrs. Nan- cy Murphy, secretary to Asst. Prin. John Marks said that the pace didn ' t bother her much. I got used to talk- ing to eight people at once and I prayed a lot, she commented. I thought keeping things running smoothly was important and it was never dull. Just when you thought you knew all the answers someone always thought up a new question, stated guidance secretary Mrs. Marj Buls. Cadets in Cadence and the North Central Evaluation kept most of the staff on their toes. The custodians took extra time and care to make the building sparkle for the North Central team. Mrs. Doris Weisheit and her staff of cooks took time out of their busy schedule to prepare snacks for the visitors. I receipted auctio n gifts, pre- pared press releases and mailing for the auction. I was very happy to be a part of it, stated Mrs. Joan West, secretary in the development office. — Maureen Butler As one of her many responsibilities, Mrs Doris Weisheit balances the books along with supervising the cafeteria.

Students add variety v_xhanges occured in many ways, but most obvious was the students themselves. Freshmen and upper- classmen added variety to the peo- ple of Concordia. Also, the old faces of last year added to the change. Over the months these old faces had changed, hair had been cut or grown longer, people lost a few pounds or added a few inches. Changes occured from the time seniors had their photos taken in the summer till they got them back six to eight weeks later. I didn ' t think my picture looked like me when I got them back, I guess I changed over those weeks, stated senior Willie Cordes. In contrast were the underclass- men who had their pictures taken with little time to look perfect . I can ' t wait to get my senior picture taken, I ' m tired of taking my picture on a school day, stated junior Mar- go Mader. But as we look back over the years we spent at Concordia, the friendships, classmates, and team- mates, will be remembered by all. The memories of these people will flow back to us through the smiles that were left behind for us to re- member. — Sandi VonDeylen People Division 123 Martin Abdon Jeff Ahrens Anna Amstutz Elizabeth Anderson Africa: His real homeland Most students at CLHS had lived in America most of their lives, and spoke only one language. Living in a different environment and culture could give a person an unique out- look on life. Senior Joel Bunkowske understood three languages: English, French, and a tribal language — SwahilL He lived in Africa, where his father was a missionary, until he was a sopho- more in high school. It was hard to leave my friends and the style of life I had made for myself, but it was always a dream of mine to live in the states, he commented. Bunkowske had visited many areas of the world including Hong Kong, Switzerland, Egypt, Greece, England and India. Out of all the places where he had been, Joel liked his native land of Africa. He planned to go back with an organi- zation called Aid for Developing Countries or the Peace Corps. Al- though he wasn ' t a missionary, as his father was, Joel said, I gave a wit- ness, and helped the people there through my words and example. — Sandi VonDeylen Playing the African Log Drum, senior Joel Bunkowske displays some of his African cul- ture.

Actors and actresses, back- stage workers, and directors were all essential in the production of a play. Natalie Dowden enjoyed drama because I escaped reality for awhile and became someone with different personalities and situa- tions. Sue Dunton was interested be- cause there was nothing better than being on stage and having people laugh or cry with you. Many challenges and pressures accompanied productions. I want- ed everything to look as realistic as possible, and sometimes they turned out a little less than that, commented backstage worker Marty Abdon. It was challenging to take on the Dave Carlson Mark Carter role of a totally new person and make it believable, said Scott Newby. The biggest pressures were pleasing the director and knowing your lines well enough to be able to cover for someone else, said Dun- ton. Many hours of practice and plan- ning were needed to make the per- formance a success, but the partici- pants felt the work paid off. As Stu- dent Director Bev Linkhart said, On opening night when the curtain opened and people clapped, it gave me a feeling of accomplish- ment. Just to have seen an audience enjoy what I was doing made it worthwhile to me, commented Newby. — Shelly Dettmer Karine Chapman Dave Chronister Steve Cordes Willie Cordes Eric Dailey Jeff Dammeyer Renee ' Darnell Tony Davison 126 Seniors Practicing for the fall musical, L ' ' ja  ' beck, Susan Dunton. and Scott fjev b re- hearse a scene During dress rehearsal for South Pacific, Honeybun girls Susan Kmpstein and Dorma Kleinschmidt perform a number in the musical.

Training, goal setting, issuing orders, and meeting the standards of Maj. Tibor Bierbaum and Sgt. Paul Miller were a few of the duties she assumed as JROTC Battalion Commander. A person had to go into it whole- heartedly. It was difficult to manage my time between classes, my job, and my responsibilities as Com- mander, Wetzel said. Wetzel was the first female Com- mander in Concordia ' s history. Kris- tie received no reaction because she was a female, stated Bier- baum. Society had different thoughts and ideas about the fe- male role. She was not only chosen by the Sergeant and I, but by her peers as well. There were many qualifications for Battalion Commander; such as, potential for the best leadership, academics and grades. Kristie displayed a good attitude and motivation throughout her pre- vious three years in JROTC. She also scored highest on a test for leader- ship qualities, said Bierbaum. I was shocked when I received the position. I never thought it would be me! I knew, though, that I had to do a good job for everybody. I could never have achieved any- thing without the help of my friends. said Wetzel. — Staci Hill During common hour, Commander Kristie Wetzel with the help of captain Marcia Math- ieu inspects David Bittle on neatness, knowl- edge and many other categories. 128 Seniors Decorating Mr. Wlll ' t office at a welcome back surprise after his accident durrtg the Homecoming game.

Doug Kanning, Dan Hauschild, Jim Keller and Fred Nash were enrolled in the calculus class at IPFW and Phil Garmire in the business math class. The five had completed Trigono- metry Analytic Geometry Calculus — the highest level of math offered at CLHS and were ready to ad- vance. Mr. Don Luepke and Mr. Paul Buetow advised them to consider taking a class at IPFW. We thought it would be a good chance to get ahead and get college credits — so we enrolled, said Keller. On Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day, they attended large lecture classes, and on Tuesdays and Thurs- days they went to smaller recital classes of only 15-20 students, for more specialized teaching. Their classes were in the morning and they were usually back at CLHS in time for third hour. I really liked it, said Hauschild. It gave us a taste of what college was like before we got there, and besides that, it broke up the mono- tony of school. When questioned about the ad- justments they had to make be- tween high school classes and a college class, Kanning answered, The faster pace made it a lot harder, and it took me a while to get used to being in a lecture class with 200 other students. — Susan Knipstein Walking to class, Phil Garmire and Doug Kanning enter Kettler Hall at IPFW. 130 Seniors Checking over an English O assignment, during first lunch, senior Tina Satyer asks for an Encouraging the freshmen to get acquaint- ed, -.

Several people, includ- ing seniors Becky and Beth Drees (from Texas), and Mary Gadow (from Minnesota), were brought to Fort Wayne because their fathers were planning to attend Concordia Theological Seminary. I didn ' t really want to move because my friends were there and it was my senior year. But I adjusted to CLHS quickly because everyone was so pleasant to me, said Gadow. Sunny California was the former home of senior Sabrina Krieg. came from Burlingame, which is 13 miles from San Francisco, to get a better chance to be accepted by Purdue ' s Aviation School. I had lived in Fort Wayne until sixth grade when we moved. I ' m glad to be back in a familiar area, but I miss my friends, my parents (who stayed in Califor- nia), and the pace of California life, said Krieg. Although many students came from far away, some came from close surrounding areas. I trans- ferred from Homestead to CLHS be- cause my family moved into the vi- cinity.

This is also the reason Eric Dailey took an interest in the art of karate. Dailey, who has been involved in karate for five years, became inter- ested in it to improve himself. I used to be fat and I wanted to do some- thing about it. Karate has given me a nice shape and made me stron- ger. I now feel better about myself than I have before. There are many things that Dailey has achieved through karate. Ka- rate has made me more aware of my surroundings and more alert that After years of work and dedication, senior Eric Dailey has developed his interest in kara- te to a level of expertise. anything can happen at any time. It has developed my agility, coordina- tion, speed and also my ability to get along with others. Karate takes up most of Dailey ' s spare time. We practice five days a week for four hours every day. Besides karate, he has many other interests. I also enjoy basketball, swimming, running, and knife throw- ing. Dailey plans to continue in karate in hopes of someday becoming a part-time instructor. I would love to teach others about this martial art but I still need at least two more years of study and hundreds of hours of practice, he said, Karate is very special to me and I want to help others discover this same joy. — Rob Lucas 135 Seniors Hackers uncover secrets It was only a premonition of things to come. Since the release of the hit movie, War Games ' the public has been alerted to the problems caused by hackers. Hackers: a person who tapped into someone else ' s computer sys- tem. Criminals. I think hackers are interesting, said senior computer student Brian Judt. I know what they ' re doing is wrong, but I still find them interest- ing. The way that a hacker usually cracked someone else ' s computer was by means of their own comput- er and a modem which was a de- vice that transmitted computer programs over the telephone. A hacker got a variety of information, including many government se- crets. All of this was done illegally. Although many Concordia stu- dents like Judt didn ' t know of any hackers, senior Scott Sandstrom stated that he knew of several peo- ple who have tapped into someone else ' s computer. Sandstrom also said, I feel that a hacker is a crimi- nal and should be punished like any other criminal. Just why do people find cracking computers interesting? Senior Joel Limmer stated, I find it interesting because it is an exercise in logic. Anything at all is possible.

Early application helpful Decisions about college selection and career choice clouded many senior ' s minds. But there were those who had their futures all set. Dan Bultemeyer applied at Wa- bash College toward the end of September and received notice of his acceptance two weeks later. Wabash has a good academic reputation and you have good chances if you graduate from it, he stated. He had plans of studying pre-med and majoring in biology. Guidance counselor Carl Gall- meier said that there were some real advantages to applying early, as Bultemeyer did. Some colleges limit enrollment in their schools and there are often problems of housing, so early application is wise. Jeff Nielsen also was accepted in the fall at Concordia River Forest. Nielsen made the choice of colleges because the school has an estab- lished program for directors of Chris- tian Education. When asked about the transition between high school and college he commented, There ' s a lot more independence in college. It ' s something you choose to go to yourself, whereas high school is something you have to go to. — Tim Miller While seeking the guidance of Carl Gall meier, Dan Bultemeyer reviews information about Wabash College where he plans to continue his education after high school.

This was the night of the reverse hayride. The weeks before the hayride were filled with tension as many questions ran through female minds. What if he says no? What if he doesn ' t like me? It was really hard for me to ask a guy to the hayride, commented senior Gretchen Walther. As in previous years the hayride and square dance festivities were held at Meyer ' s Barn. Since the barn was located outside New Haven, many couples thought it was hard to find. I can ' t believe we drove right past it, remarked senior Fred Barn- hart. Along with being a nervous time, the hayride was also very special. I had a good time at the hayride. Being with someone you liked made it a special evening, said junior Dave Smith. A new concept was added to this year ' s hayride. For the students who were unable to drive, rides were ar- ranged by Mr. Panning. To make it work, we needed a lot of publicity and I feel it worked. I feel the 1983 reverse hayride was a real success, stated Junior Class President Jeff Inge. — Maureen Butler Along with the other Junior Class officers, secretary Kathy Huebschman prepares the wagon for the reverse hayride.

I couldn ' t get my license until I was a junior. I turned 16 after August 1, said Julie Monn. Not having your license didn ' t help your social life any, explained Brent Lahey, I missed going out with my friends because I couldn ' t get a ride. It caused problems on the job also. I had to have my brother or mom take me to work, said Frank Newyear. But some juniors were optimistic about it. I didn ' t mind getting my license late because a lot of other Junior Class officers: David Smith, treasurer; Kathy Huebschman, secretary, Jeff Inge, president, and Jeff Lewis, vice president. people did too, said Monn. Although parents saw their insur- ance rates sky rocket, there were some advantages. My license put a little more responsibility on me and less on my parents, explained Max Thomas. Other junior Cadets said their parents were sick of driving them around. Margo Mader, who received her license on September 15, pointed out more advantages of having a license. I don ' t have to beg my friends for a ride anymore. Wade Ledbetter noted, I want- ed to get my license since I was 12. 1 was glad I finally got it. — Andy Simerman A long awaited moment.

After a while, people tire of their glasses, whether because they lose them, break them, or are just bothered by them in general. Then the thought strikes. Is it time for contacts? The answer? Yes. Making the decision of what type of contacts to get was difficult be- cause of the seemingly endless list of choices. There were hard con- tacts, semi-hard contacts, soft con- tacts, and contacts which could be worn for two weeks or longer. I asked my eye doctor what type of contacts to get, and he said soft because they are better for your eyes. Also, my aunt has hard contacts, and has had many prob- lems with them, said Melissa Settle- myre, junior. Care of contacts had to be con- sidered, too. I disinfect my con- tacts every night with a saline solu- tion, and once a week I clean them with an enzymatic solution, which breaks down protein buildup, com- mented Joe Schlie, junior. They had to be worked with care- fully, so that they weren ' t scratched or dropped and lost. I ' ve dropped a contact in the bathtub, in the sink, and even gotten one stuck on the mirror, but I ' ve never lost one, Sett- lemyre confided. People who made the switch from glasses to contacts seemed satis- fied. Schlie stated, Contacts are a little more expensive than glasses in terms of cleaning solutions and care products. However, they ' re a lot nicer for me. I think I look much bet- ter now, and no one can call me ' four-eyes ' anymore, It ' s great! — Laura Abdon Using every ounce of his strength, junior Scott Lambert competes in the wagon race at the Anything Goes contest.

Even though taking a test may not be anyone ' s idea of a fun-filled morn- ing, the PSAT was recommended for those students planning to take the SAT and going on to college. In a sense, the PSAT was like a practice test for the SAT. When looking back, junior Dave Kuker said, It was good to get the experience and practice, and it was interesting to see how well I scored. Nearly everyone had anxieties about taking the test. I was really worried about it, stated Polly Anti- bus. There was so much pressure to score your best, and I didn ' t really know what to expect. As a help to students to relieve some of the fears, a series of work- shops were offered. Led by Mrs. Shir- ley Jordan, the workshops were giv- en once a week during a student ' s study hall. Topics included good test-taking strategies and how to prepare for the test. The purpose of the workshops was not to simply study for the test, but to give a stu- dent more confidence and familiar- ity with the test and to help ease the nerves, Mrs. Jordan said. I felt the workshops were a big help. They gave me an idea of what was on the test, and what I needed to know, stated Dawn Doster. — Susan Knipstein Twin day, the second day of homecoming week, is displayed by juniors.

For now, however, they ' ll have to do without some of those pleasures. Braces sometimes caused prob- lems that were difficult to deal with. Michele Young commented, It ' s hard to play a flute with braces. I thought my teeth made me look bad, so I ' ll be glad to have straight teeth. According to Todd Tucker, My friends call me train track teeth and brace face now, but I would rather have straight teeth than crooked teeth. When I first put on my braces, I was self-conscious and they hurt so much I couldn ' t eat solid food for three days, but I got over it, said Ruth Dahling. David Nash said he had to per- form a solo in front of the student body in grade school the day he got his braces. When the time came for my solo, I couldn ' t pron- ouce the words because of my new braces, but the choir director told everyone my mouth was full of wire. Eventually, he conquered the new obstacle. — Pam Reinking _ While In the student lounge, Todd Tucker shows us his tin grin. Many students had braces during their high school years.

When the yellow school bus drove through the neighborhood, you knew that cute eight-year old John- ny Miller would jump off the bus. What a surprise it was to see six-foot Johnny Miller walk off the LAEE bus. A number of Cadets began riding the grade school bus in kindergar- ten or grade school. Some, howev- er, continued to ride the LAEE busses after getting to Concordia. At this point, they didn ' t like to be seen with the grade schoolers anymore. That was especially true of sopho- mores. A major complaint about riding the LAEE buses was the little kids . Susan Snyder said, They sat there and looked at me! They were always screaming and hollering, commented Mike Spencer. I didn ' t like riding the grade school bus, explained Cindy Bulte- meier. It was for the grade school kids. It looked stupid to be on the little kids ' bus. Bultemeier and Snyder would be able to drive next year, but for other returning sophomores, the bus would be their only source of trans- portation. Riding the bus didn ' t really both- er me, said Rita Smith. I figured it was a ride. Even though it would have been easier for me to drive, it would have cost more. Although the little kids were a bother to some of the sophomores, students agreed that the bus drivers were nice to them by treating them like adults. Most of the buses didn ' t have assigned seats, which gave students the freedom to choose their own. That helped make the bus ride bearabie. Eating on the bus was a different matter, though. Bus drivers cracked down on that rule and as the year went on, students learned to take this aspect of riding the bus in stride. — Beth Bartelt Laura Heilman David Helm Scott Hille Mona Hoeppner Lance Hoffman Jon Jacob Jovon Johnson Rickey Jordan Ken Judt Mike Kanning Dan Kaufman Keith Kiess Matt Kizer Michael Klaehn Tim Klage Julie Klausmeier Matt Klopsch Michael Kroemer •850 Sophomores Derx Lyons Susie Lytal Kolleen Macke Karla Maraldo Tina Marks Ann Meisner Matthew Miller Mike Miranda Paul Mittermaier John Motycka Craig Mueller Ted Murphy Sophomores 151 Mark Musselman David Nash Phillip Nation Mike Netterville Christine Newby Anne Nobis Don Nord Rose Nord Mario Odier Jonna Pabst Troy Panning Dawn Parr Mike Pasche Randy Patterson Lora Peterson Stephanie Pflughaupt Linh Phi Bruce Puff Amy Reinhard Denise Remenschneider Michael Rieck Mike Riehle Chris Rigdon Paul Roach Chris Rodenbeck Ann Roebel Heidi Roemke Rob Rogers Greg Runge Todd Saalfrank Andrea Satterfield Gary Schaber Terry Schell Kim Schenkel Missy Scheumann Terri Schilb 152 Sophomores i .-o- Model students in focus Camera shutters click. Lights flash. All attention is focused on one glamorous figure. Such dreams of involvement in the modeling industry fill many young people ' s minds. Sophomore Lisa Linnemeier has followed through on her ambitions of entering a mo- deling career. Linnemeier has been enrolled at Charmaine Finishing School and Mo- del Agency since she was in the eighth grade. Motivated by her cousin, Linnemeier attended class once a week for two-hour sessions. According to Linnemeier, the course entailed two parts: Basic Ad- vanced and Television and Photog- raphy. Our training involves taking notes and working on our steps and poses. We do these in front of a movie camera so we can play them back and see what we do right and wrong. Linne meier gained some exper- ience while modeling for a fashion show in the spring of 1983 at Touch of Class . At first I was scared be- cause it was the first time I ' d worked in front of many people. I ' m glad I got the chance because it helped build my self-confidence. Another sophomore, Mike Stout, went to the same school and also started two years ago. He has fin- ished the course and has had a few jobs in modeling for newspaper and billboard ads. The most valuable thing I ' ve learned is how to act around others, Stout remarked. — Tim Miller Ww Kristine Simonsen Jeff Simpson Kelly Smallwood Mike Smith Receiving advice from her instructor at Charmaine Finishing School and Model Agen- cy.

She practiced four hours each day after school, and although she missed the opportunity to be involved more at school, she said violin was worth it. Satterfield felt she was getting arts that most people were never exposed to, and that she had op- portunities to travel that she would otherwise not have had. She toured Europe and played at the Vatican. When she was 12, she studied in Chi- cago for a year, and one year she opened for the Philharmonic. She said, Before I performed, I was ei- ther excited or low, I had to think about playing and nothing else. Besides her many performances, Satterfield also gave lessons. She taught a group class of twenty at IUPU — Fort Wayne, and instructed one student at her home. The stu- dents ranged in age from 3 to 11, and Satterfield felt they had much potential. In the future Satterfield hoped to obtain her doctorate in music and solo as much as possible.

Attire for the freshmen con- sisted of sweat pants with shorts worn over them, a hat, tie, un- matching shoes and a toothbrush. Freshmen had mixed emotions about initiation as stated by Eddie Lebeau, The week before initiation I was scared, but when I came to school I saw some of my upperclass- men friends and they helped me get to my classes safely. Many freshmen guys carried not only girls ' books, but their purses as well. Most freshmen sang the school song or recited the poem whenever it was requested: I am a lowly freshman and what I say is true. If I ever grow up, I want to be like you. Warren Jarvis had to sit on the floor and play the school song with his drum sticks while a hat was held over his face. I was nervous com- ing to school, but it went all right, Jarvis said. Fifth hour came as a relief to fresh- men, with many disappointed up- perclassmen. At 12:31 an an- nouncement over the P.

Hours were spent after school knocking on doors to raise money for class activities such as homecoming, dances, prom, and hayrides. Maga- zine subscription sales were one of the biggest fund raisers, but the freshmen also sold records, chil- dren ' s books, and Atari video games to reach their goal. Mr. Chris Gieschen, the freshman class advisor, summed up the sale by saying, The freshmen goals were the key to a successful fund drive because they refused to be set aside by bad weather, closed doors, etc. They just wouldn ' t take no for an answer. — Rob Lucas In spite ol 50 ' s day dress.

He survived initiation, learned the ropes of being in high school, and became a Concordia Cadet. But Doster has accomplished some things that take talent and hard work. He won the state tennis championship and participated in three national tennis tournaments last summer: the Nationals in Shreve- port, La., the Clay Court Nationals in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and the West- ern Doubles in Lansing, Mich., which he and a partner won. It was one of the biggest tournaments of the year, said Doster. In June I went to Number one singles player Brian Doster warms up before the Sectionals meet against Luers. a camp in Michigan and we prac- ticed for ten hours a day. Doster started playing tennis when he was about nine, be- cause, he said, My mom bought me a racquet. Because of an injured achilles ten- don, Doster didn ' t play during the regular season. I wasn ' t even sure how I did it, said Doster. He was able to play in the Sec- tionals, however, and won all of his matches until the Sectional Cham- pionship game. It was windy, com- mented Doster. I wasn ' t really moving out there. I was missing some shots I shouldn ' t have. To Doster, the most disappointing aspect of his injury was that I was looking forward to it (the season), because I had never played on a team before. — Cheryl Engebrecht Freshmen 161 Beth Shugart Laura Simerman Karin Sims Mark Sinclair Roger Sipes Brent Smith Kevin Smith Mark Smith Paul Smith Anne Snyder Angela Stedge Laura Steffen Paul Stein Philip Stephen Matthew Stoudt Rebecca Sundell Randy Taylor Daniel Tennison Valerie Tharp Greg Thomas Bradley Till Tonya VanMeter Carol Wade Christine Wade Jami Wallace Katherine Wasson Dennis Weimer Janet Wert Beth Wesche John Westra 162 Freshmen £a Lori Young Greg Zelt Nathan Wilson Angela Winters Douglas Wolfe Tricia Wolfgram Angela Wyatt Not Pictured: Veronica Watson Siblings: friend or foe Hey! Aren ' t you Joe ' s little broth- er? Aren ' t you Jane ' s little sister? These questions were very familiar to freshmen. Having an older brother or sister at Concordia could have been fun, as it was in T Irmscher ' s case. My brother (Chris, a junior) was really nice to me. We got along much better and we talked a lot more, said Irmscher, a freshman. Initiation Day meant life or death for a freshman who had an older brother or sister at CLHS. Dan (Goeglein, a senior) was really mean to me. He made me sing in the student lounge. He also told everybody to initiate me really well because I was his brother, said Don Goeglein. But, both Irmscher and Goeglein stated that having an older brother or sister at CLHS was really fun and provided a lot of excitement. They also felt that having an older sibling helped them in adjusting to the en- vironment of a new school. Irmscher commented, Chris helped me meet quite a few peo- ple. When you add those to the people I met myself, that added up to quite a few. He also helped me adjust to some of the ways of high school I wasn ' t used to. — Susie Lytal Offering words of advice, about a difficult geometry assignment, junior Tim Miller points out to his younger brother Steve, a freshman, a possible way to solve a proof.

Returning from summer camps, the editors and I put our ideas together and this is what developed. We worried over minor details and probably over- looked some important ones. It was our constant goal to make this a book to remember for quality in all areas: copy, photos, and design. This book wouldn ' t have made it without the work of a few Good Gnomes. To Maureen Butler and Rob Lu- cas, I say thank you for your time and dedication. Thanks also to Laura Abdon, Shelly Dettmer, Susan Knipstein, and Susie Lytal for adding their own creative angles to After school, seniors Rob Lucas and Tim Gordon discuss the day. Singing Lift Jesus Higher. students enjoy Friday morning prayer break- fast. It was held weekly from 7:30 to 8:00. copy. Also to Sue Wade for her magic tricks in the dark- room. Always ready to encour- age or discourage was Mrs. Linda Schwartz, our advisor. Her knowledge proved beneficial time and time again, and I ' d like to thank her for believing in my ideas and prodding me on numer- ous times. I hope that you have been able to find your angle in these pages. You may be a teacher, student, parent, or stranger to CLHS, but hopefully you ' ve learned something about Concordia that will go with you as you follow your own angle in life. — Jana Goeglein 172 Closing I Luminarian Staff Jana Goeglein ...

Religion students brightened it and the school them ' e said to walk in it. Yet what was this, that affected everyone to some degree? It was light, not just the result of com- pleting a circuit but rather Christ ' s light which shown in each of us. We chose Walk in the Light, ' (as the school year theme) because it is one of the fundamental reasons for having a Lutheran high school, stated Principal Guenther Herzog. Concor- dia ' s purpose is to give young people the opportu- nity to walk in the Lord ' s light. This opportunity was a personal invitation to each of the 700 students to grow as individuals. Students were able to grow in more than one area, not only academically, but also spiri- tually and physically, com- mented Major Tibor Bier- baum. Another advantage to walking in the light, was the chance to be your own person, meet your own ex- pectations. Even as light is made up of a variety of col- ors, so was the light which illuminated Concordia stu- dents, for each excelled in certain areas and grew in others, (con ' t on pg. 176) Scholastic Art Contest Winners: Ruth Gadow, Craig Morton.

I was able to par- ticipate in a variety of things, almost anything I wanted to, said senior Bubba Satterfield. This freedom enabled all CLHS students to follow their own angle as they walked in the light of Christ. — Jana Goeglein Beginning the day with announce- ments.
