More than the usual i hough ordinary days were plenti- ful, Concordia ' s students ' lives were filled with more than the usual grind of classrooms and homework. Weekends provided diversions with dances (one DJ ' d by the Cas- bah), shopping, dates, and some- times studying.

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.
