Concordia Lutheran High School - Luminarian Yearbook (Fort Wayne, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1985 volume:

Changing Concordia Lutheran High School has gone through many changes since its beginning in 1935. The 1984-85 school year represented the 50th anniversary of our school, an important event. For that reason, the choice of a yearbook theme weighed heavily on the minds of the editors and adviser. We needed to tell the readers what was so unique about our anniversary year. And we needed a theme to fit. Somehow, after what seemed like years of brainstorming, we came to a decision — Changing Cadet Times. Through the years, Cadet lifestyles, opinions, spirit, and attitudes have all changed with the times. The Luminarian has tried to accomplish the goal of showing these changes throughout the book by changing the format to a more magazine design. In order to make the yearbook stand out and be set apart from earlier editions, we decided to change the book to 9 by 12, a larger size. Now we can see that not only are times changing, but Cadets are changing with the times. This book is to hold the memories of the Changing Cadet Times.

Allen County Public Libnay Ft. Wayne, Iwtono Cadets Set Goals Rising at 6 a.m. Rushing to school. Lectures and labs. Assignments, pa- pers, football and play practice. It seemed summer had just begun. Now it was gone and all that remained were those memories of fun in the sun. A new school year. A new begin- ning. New classes. New teachers. New faces. New opportunities. New chal- lenges. And a new set of goals — to aim for and to reach. For some, these goals meant study- ing harder. Applying themselves more. Striving to get an A in English, or making the honor roll. For athletes, reaching new goals meant conditioning themselves in Au - gust heat. Suffering through agony and frustration. Sweating. Forcing themselves to practice in order to give their absolute best performance. For band members, new goals meant sacrificing countless hours of vacation to go to band practice. Calis- thenics in the hot sun. Standing at attention while mosquitos bit.

ROTC members had their own goals. Developing precision and tim- ing. Hoping to keep the tradition by performing well in the Clendenen drill meet. Still others had personal goals. To reach out and be a better friend. To get asked to the prom. To be involved in Student Council. To grow closer to God. To make plans for college. Goals were important. They devel- oped character. They made us unique. They helped us strive and improve. Most of all they allowed room to grow. To start again or change. The administration always worked for improvement in all areas, including curriculum, faculty, and school cli- mate, said Guenther Herzog, princi- pal.

Opening ; While in physics class, seniors Craig Witte and Kevin Dammeyer make a trial run with their brick apparatus. Afterwards they calculated the velocity of the cart from collected data. Fifty years of history saw many changes in Concordia. People, organi- zations and buildings were all a part. The school originated from Luther Institute, a two-year business school opened by the Lutheran churches of Fort Wayne in 1916. Representatives from the Institute and Concordia College met in 1935 to merge programs to form the four- year high school. The new co-ed school was located on the Concordia College campus in Hansler Hall. Tuition was $60 with an enrollment of 205 premin- isterial and 95 non- ministerial stu- dents. CLHS received official certification from the Indiana State Dept. of Public Instruction in 1939 and was accredited by North Central in 1953. The staff consisted of 24 teachers. The school had rapid growth in the 1940 ' s and as a result, lack of space. In 1949 the Board of Higher Education set up a 50 -year lease on 1.93 acres on the northwest corner of Anthony and Maumee. The new building was dedi- cated on Sept. 7, 1952, with space for 500 students. For the first time, the high school had its own facilities. In 1958, Fred Zollner sold 23.17 acres of land on North Anthony to a group of laymen. This land, given to the school, became the site of Zollner Stadium. Committees organized fundraising Fifty Years Of Excellence to build a new school near the stadi- um. On Sun., Jan. 5, 1964, that new building was dedicated. Enrollment at that time was 728 students. A $1,000,000 expansion took place between 1973 and 1975. Art facilities, music wing, chapel -auditorium, auxil- iary gym, library expansion and new classrooms were added. The history of Concordia was more than dates, facts and figures, though It was my life, said Mrs. Judy Troxel Moellering, class of ' 59. It was where my friends were. Those friendships started in high school have grown into stronger friendships 25 years later, she reflected. My Christian -education meant something to me. I have pride in hav- ing gone there, Mr. Jack Rump, class of ' 52, said. Many of us liked it so much we sent our children there, he added. I ' ve never felt sorry I attended, said Mr. Robert Paul, class of ' 43. I haven ' t lost the Concordia spirit, even though it ' s been nearly 50 years. — Susan Wade Concordia Lutheran High School as it stood in 1952 at the northwest corner of Anthony and Maumee. The building is now used by HT. 4 Opening Change With Times Take a look at Concordia. See how it has changed. Fifty years ago, the high school began as part of Concor- dia College. Since then it has become one of the finest Lutheran high schools in the country. It has 45 facul- ty members and an enrollment of 701 students. Changes still have not ceased. Sev- en new teachers were added to the faculty. New state regulations length- ened the school day. It now ran from 8:15 to 3:15, with no early dismissals. To keep up with the times the li- brary added additional equipment. The weathered and worn parking lot was repaved. These were products of the Golden Grace Crusade, which ended in April after three years. Fiftieth anniversary events high- lighted the year. An opening service was held at Zollner Stadium Sept. 16. Homecoming was a grand celebra- tion. Special emphasis was placed on the Concordia Educational Founda- tion dinner and alumni reunions for athletes and musical groups. The cli- max of the celebration will be an all- class reunion to be held at the Con- vention Center on Aug. 9, 10, and 11, 1985. I think the anniversary will be a catalyst to improve our unique char- acter, said Development Director Dick Katt. This includes the military tradition and Christ being the center of the school. Students will never for- get they ' re Concordia Cadets, he said. The anniversary year was a celebra- tion of change. Now observe the change around you. Become involved. Accept challenges. Realize they are es- sential for growth. Break away from what ' s comfortable. Explore new and unfamiliar things. Become a part of our changing world. And, at CLHS, a part of those CHANGING CADET TIMES. — Susan Wade Installing new bleachers, resurfacing the floor, and repairing the stage and ceiling in the main gym were renovations for the improve- ment of Concordia. The Golden Grace Crusade provided $95,000 towards the project. Opening ' nique Lives, Times According to Prince, life is an elec- tric word. According to students at Concordia, life meant fog delays, dances, Friday chemistry tests, and English O assignments. Cadet life differed from all other school lifestyles around, with activities such as Anything Goes and a very unique way of raising money for the United Way. Cadets didn ' t stick to tradition. I liked the way people at CLHS did their own thing. It made us very unique, said sophomore Jenny Sa- bina. Although Cadets still raised money and went to monthly dances, they were changing. There was a revival of clubs such as Art Club and Afro- American Club. A new club, SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) showed its face. Cadets had another part of school life changed too. The school day was lengthened by 10 minutes to fit the new state law which said students must have 360 minutes of classtime a day. In accordance with that law, few- er pep sessions and assemblies were held. We didn ' t follow the concept that ' more is better. ' While some im- pact was felt, greater impact will be felt in the future, remarked Assistant Principal Paul Buetow. Cadets also changed their weekend lifestyles as juniors and sophomores could finally go out without their par- ents picking them up. More students had jobs and less time to do the things they needed to. There was less time to study, but students adjusted to the fast pace. They made time, stated senior Jeff Inge. — Susie Lytal I I I Marching during the Three Rivers Festival Parade, senior Kurt Salomon portrays the part of an 1816 soldier.

Pastor Borchers was one who participated in the activities every day that week. He is shown here on Formal Day. For more Homecoming happenings, see pages 12 through 15. During the nightly practice reading of The Man Who Came to Dinner, senior Jennifer McMillen and junior Scott Hille rehearse a scene. The play was held on November 16 and 17.

Six pen- M w cils once sharpened to pin point, now dull stubs. Wastebasket overflowing with crumpled ideas. The clock says 2:41 and you still can ' t re- call the date of the French and Indian War. Students often put other things a head of studying. Attending a bas- ketball game, indulging in a deep dish pizza or going out with your friends seemed to be more tempting than a night with Shakespeare. Even though Cadets enjoyed their nights out, they still studied an aver- age of two hours a night. A few found that they needed more than this, I studied about three hours a night in order to get everything finished and sometimes more, said junior Jonna Pabst. Most students felt that they still didn ' t study as much as they should. Nobody studies as much as they should! exclaimed freshman Kate Macke. I would feel more prepared going into my classes if I studied more, said sophomore Maria Beitz. Study habits were another thing that students felt could use improve- ment. A chair in front of the TV often took the place of a quiet room with a desk or the library. I study in front of the TV. I can concentrate during any- thing, said senior Chris Irmscher. Studying was one of the most im- portant responsibilities of students, or should have been. School has to be more important than jobs or social life. Self-discipline is important, said Mr. Carl Gallmeier, Guidance Direc- tor. — Julie Klausmeier Racking their brains to remember the defini- tion of impetigo, juniors Chris Rigdon, Brian Coil and Phil Nation concentrate on a practice PSAT test. Juniors took this test on October 23. Before the start of a Wednesday night march- ing practice, junior band members Laura Abdon and Stephanie Dowden get a headstart on their chemistry homework. 8 Hittin ' The Books Rummaging through shelves of in the public library, senior Jill Staley searches for resources for her English Orientation paper. During a sixth hour physics experiment, senior Doug Willis marks off tocks on the ticker tape from the ticker tape timer. The library played a very impor- tant role in our studying. I can ' t remember when Concordia hasn ' t had an outstanding library, said Mr. Richard Katt. Greek Required In ' 39 Four years of Latin, three of Ger- man, two of Greek. This was not a nightmare. These were the foreign languages Mr. Carl Gallmeier, Guid- ance Director, had to take during his schooling at Concordia. Gallmeier, a student in 1939, at- tended school on the corner of Mau- mee Avenue and Anthony Boulevard, at the old Concordia College Building. Schooling at Concordia 45 years ago included: four years of high school education and two years of college. When attending Concordia, students had to declare what program they would take. This would deter- mine what classes they took. One of these programs was college prep. It consisted of classes preparing students for further education. An- other program was more general. Classes were of a variety, and included math and English. The third was the one that made Concordia unique, the ministerial program. Gallmeier and most of the rest of the school chose this one. English was not a required Learning sometimes takes on different forms. In physics class, senior John Feldkamp experiments with eating chalk. course; but the foreign languages that were required made up for that. Students didn ' t travel to and from school since they lived in dorms at the school. Students were required to sit at their desks and study from 7:00 to 9:00 each night. Teachers also came around and made sure students were studying. The freshmen worried more about the check than the sen- iors. The seniors seemed to roam around a little m ore, said Gallmeier. Another student of Concordia was Mr. Richard Katt, Development Di- rector, who graduated in 1939. He felt that Concordia made a big difference in his life. I wouldn ' t have studied as much if I had gone to a public high school. We weren ' t confronted with TV and radio to compete with our study time, said Katt. Even weekends were not a time for rest. As Sunday nights were also set aside to study. But students did get a break, Saturday night we had free, said Katt. — Julie Klausmeier Hittin ' The Books 9 To reduce the cost of the military ball, JROTC member Tim Harroun, junior, directs traffic to parking spaces at the Homecoming game. As senior girls crowd around the table be- tween the trophy cases, they frantically try to sign up to buy their favorite football player to escort at the Homecoming assembly. As Luminarian staff members Chip Evanson, John Bakalar, seniors, and juniors Scott Hille, Tim Klage lean toward the microphone, they give their sales pitch to buy yearbooks. This group of students provided humorous an - nouncements for student council activities throughout the year. As senior John Feldkamp collects money for Daybreak, seniors Cami Piekarski and Susan Wade each give a donation. Area high schools participated in this fund drive sponsored by WXKE. While senior Julie Scheiman fastens his top button, junior Shawn Fowler looks over his new choir robe. The robes cost $8,000, which was raised from the cheese and sausage sale. 10 Raisin ' Money Raising rCash Crop ell, sell, sell, sell ... As stu- . dents heard the motto of year- r book advertisements trail off the morning announcements, they wondered to themselves, Why do I have to sell things, What is the money needed for? Many items are sold throughout the year, big ' and small. From advertise- ments for the Lu-Hi Voice, to expen- sive automobiles at the auction. Mon- ey was raised from donations too. We now have $742,504 in pledges from 1302 people or institutions, said Mr. Dick Katt, a leader of the Golden Grace Crusade. Golden Grace funds were used to install the new bleachers in the gym- nasium, and new lockers for the lock- er rooms. More will be spent on resur- facing the parking lot, and other repair jobs around the school. These repairs were definitely needed considering this building is over 20 years old, said Katt. The annual cheese and sausage sale brought forth record-breaking sales, even without matching funds from AAL. Students earned over $10,000 by selling 5,800 units of cheese and sau- sage, which went toward new robes and risers for the choir. The senior class went about raising money for their trip by selling Cadet spirit bumper stickers and coupon books for restaurants. Several juniors earned $225 for their class by taking inventory at the Casual Corner in Southtown Mall for two hours. I thought taking inventory at the Casual Corner was a really good idea. It wasn ' t boring because you could talk to your friends, said junior class president Kolleen Macke. It was easy too because all you had to do was count. — Tim Klage While sitting in the student lounge, sopho- mote Becky Carter sells a sucker to senior Amy Pyle to raise money for gymnastics.

Each was just a crazy part of Home- coming week celebration. Although the dress -up days start- ed slowly with bag day, I felt mas- querade day really picked things up. I was very impressed with formal day; it made chapel more of a special occa- sion, stated senior John Feldkamp, co - chairman for planning Homecom - ing. Besides dress -up days, one of the most successful and exciting events of the week was Anything Goes, held at Zollner Stadium, Wed. Sept. 19. School spirit shone as a record 550 students attended, each clad in class colors. Faculty and students alike were rivaled with several new events, such as jello eating, balloon stomping and pyramid building contests. Since I was involved with Any- thing Goes last year, I already knew what had to be done, and with the help of others, everything was achieved quickly and efficiently, ex- plained senior Kirsten Roberts, com- mittee head. Hard work and dedication went not only for dress -up days and Anything Goes, but also to all the decorations which were hung throughout the school by volunteers from each grade. Kleenex was placed around and through the cage, while crepe paper hung both twisted and straight. With decorations being judged Wednesday morning, each class had only a limited time period Tuesday evening to plan and do something spectacular. Students could be seen running in and out of Belmont ' s with purchase orders and decorations all evening, said junior Kolleen Macke. — Laura Abdon Sucking pepsi with all his might, sophomore Kelly Johnson gives it his all in an effort to drain the baby bottle of its contents. De spite his efforts, the sophomores were not the first to finish this portion of Anything Goes. Showing her school spirit, sophomore Valerie Tharp creates a bright impression with her red trash bag outfit.

Diving head first into a pan of jello, senior Michelle Buetow attempts to gain points for her team in the jello -eating contest at Anything Goes. Floats took time and hard work to design, not to mention the effort it took to actually make them. We spent long hours after school creating the best floats possible. Even though they were hard work, they were still fun to build and part of the enjoy- ment of Homecoming, ' ' said Donna Hern, class of ' 58. Homecoming Spirit Lingers A one-and-a-half story high bon- fire! Unbelievable! But believe it or not, it existed, along with many other exciting events of past Homecomings. The first Homecomings began in the early ' 40s and revolved more around the college alumni than the high school graduates. Even though this was the case, high school students were still very much a part of the Homecoming activities. The whole campus needed to be decorated and each of the six classes (four-year high school, two-year college) continually strived to make their assigned area impressive enough to win first place. Decorating the campus was a big part of Homecoming. Everything was adorned with something, and abso- lutely every class decorated, recalled Nancy Murphy, class of ' 54. The next task to tackle was build- ing the bonfire. The bonfire was a huge structure of railroad ties which gr ew to about a story-and-a-half high. After the ties had been piled up, trucks filled in the spaces with boxes and other materials, explained Ron Gersmehl, former coach. After the bonfire had been built, the challenge was to keep rival schools from setting fire to it ahead of time. I remember taking turns guarding the bonfire so no one could burn it as a joke. But sometimes it didn ' t help. Several times it had to be rebuilt be- cause it caught fire early, said Dick Reinking, class of ' 46. Then preparations were finished and the events began. Friday evening consisted of the crowning of the col- lege queen and her two high school princesses. The queen then lit the bonfire to signal the official start of Homecoming. Saturday included the Alumni Ban- quet and the awaited basketball game between the college and the alumni. Following the game was a square dance, the last event before Home- coming ended for another year. Although Homecoming changed from basketball to football and em- phasis switched to high school stu- dents after the college and high school separated, each year Home- coming still brought the same feel- ings. Concordia always had a spirit of unity and hopefully it always will. Homecoming just seems to bring it out more, said Gersmehl. — Laura Abdon A group of senior girls express their joy upon hearing the results of the Anything Goes com- petition.

The 50th , year celebration of Home- mr coming brought more ex- citement and better student in- volvement than ever before. Ma- roon and white filled the halls to enthuse students for the pep ses- sion and game. The pep session ' s gags about football team members and cheers led by the cheerleaders played just a part on Homecoming day. Cheerleader Tami Carlo said, I thought the pep session crowd re- sponse was real good. Approximately 2500 people filled the football stands with more alumni than past Homecomings. Sarah Stalder stated, The good turn out made it more exciting. The crowning of king Kyle Calloway and queen Dawn Doster was the halftime highlight. The celebration of the 50th year brought added touches to the half- time: a carriage ride for court members Dawn Doster, Jill Jarvis, Cami Piekarski, Laura Heilman and Kolleen Macke. Crowd spirit helped push Con- cordia ' s football team to their first win of the season, 14 to 13 over Woodlan. Five hundred and eighty stu- dents attended the dance along with 300 alumni, one of the best attendance records for Homecom- ing. The dance at Goeglein ' s added a special touch to the evening and a change of pace from the past. The 50th year theme caused more excitement, but Homecom- ing is always exciting, stated John Feldkamp, co-chairman of Home- coming events along with Michelle Buetow. Junior Laura Heilman and senior Lisa Koehlinger, in charge of dance preparations said, It took all day long to decorate for the dance. The anniversary enhanced ev- eryone ' s spirit for an outstanding Homecoming day. — Karla Maraldo Homecoming queen of 83 Donna Kleinsch- midt stands with Dawn Doster after handing ovet the Homecoming crown. Homecoming 1 ' V iends t fter a home football or bas- Jl ketball game, the place for W CLHS students to go was Pizza Hut. Not just any Pizza Hut, mind you, but the Pizza Hut on East State Street. This was where the ma- jority of CLHS students could be found crammed into tables and booths. T here could be anywhere from 25-40 students there, depending on victory or defeat. Pizza Hut was not always conven- ient, especially after school, so many students dropped into Wendy ' s or Atz ' s for a bite to eat. Wendy ' s was a fun place to go and be with your friends and eat, said sophomore Amy Knox. The primary reason students go out before or after a game is the same as it was 50 years ago — to socialize. The fact that everyone was together at Pizza Hut made it fun. We talked about the game and what was going on over the weekend, said junior Kolleen Macke. I go to Pizza Hut because every- body goes there and it is always fun, said sophomore Susie Schoenherr. The Casbah was also a place to hang out. Located on Freeman Street in the Pelz Reception Hall, it was a ■ 1 L W : J ■A Awaiting the start of the Fteshman party, Lisa East, Cyndi Meyer, Karla Clark, and Sarah Lin- deman stop a moment to talk before going down into the auxiliary gym for get-acquainted games While fans overlook the Cadets at their final home volleyball game, juniots Lisa Linnemeier and Steve Burkholder take advantage of a break in the game to comment on the opposition, Luers. place for teens to dance every Friday night. The Casbah was neat because you got a chance to meet different people, said junior Sarah Stalder. The Casbah had good music and it gave us a chance to dance more than once in a while, said Macke. Not everyone frequented the usual places like Glenbrook Mall, movie theaters, and restaurants. Some en- joyed quieter places. I like going to Foster Park and playing football with some friends, Macke stated. — Katie Wasson 16 Hangin ' Out After school, seniors Cami Piekarski, Kns Springer, and Julie Scheiman prac- tice I have Decided by Amy Grant (or the Pops Concert.

This was the CAMA on a Friday night after a game. The CAMA was the hangout in the early 1950 ' s. It was a place to congregate with friends, graduate Mrs. Nancy Mur- phy said. It was a student hangout. Nothing fancy, but it had friendly owners, said Mr. Don Reinking. The CAMA consisted of a row of ten to fifteen booths, a soda counter, pinball machine, and of course, the jukebox. The CAMA was busiest after games or other school functions, but CLHS students also frequented it after school and for lunch, since they didn ' t have their own cafeteria. Most everyone went. Even as a After a Friday night football game Kolleen Macke, Anne Westgate, Andrea Satterfield, and Mike Dammeyer drop into Mister Donut on East State to eat. freshman, I didn ' t feel uncomfortable there, stated alumni Mrs. Judy Moel- lering. The CAMA ' s popularity was partly due to the fact that it was only two blocks from the school and partly be- cause the owner, Dick Almundinger, was so friendly. The owner was friendly; he made students feel welcome, Reinking said. The CAMA could possibly be compared to Wendy ' s or Atz ' s, but there were differences. CAMA was basically geared toward teens. Atz ' s and Wendy ' s have to serve the general public, adults and teens alike. Ev- erybody went to CAMA. People were not as spread out. There was much more fellowship at the CAMA, Murphy said. — Katie Wasson Hangin ' Out 17 Not all fads have been acceptable at Con- cordia. One day a boy came to school with an odd haircut. It was long in back and greased on the sides. Some of his classmates took him in to the bathroom and cut his hair, said Charlotte Sorg. Remember Bobby Sox? In the beginning, Concordia stu- dents wore JROTC uniforms every day, rain or shine, sleet or hail. This sentence was lifted a little when in the 50 ' s and 60 ' s, the uniform was required only four days a week. Fashion fought its way through the portals of time. Armed with bobby sox, saddle shoes, crinolines under skirts, and crew cuts, students were influenced by the latest trends. Styles were important. We paid attention to what our peers wore and dressed ac- cordingly, said Charlotte Sorg, class of ' 58. Wearing clothes the in way has changed drastically. Skirt lengths trav- eled up and down. Jean pant legs went through periods of being rolled up to the calf only to be hemmed the fol- lowing year. For many years, the standard outfit was relatively the same. Girls wore bobby sox and round neck sweaters with a scarf or strand of pearls around the neck. Skirts were straight and long or circular with crinolines underneath to make them full. We wore skirts to school every day. We didn ' t even think about wear- ing pants. They were considered unla- dylike, said Lana Hille, class of ' 59. Males at Concordia didn ' t have the chance to express any kind of creativ- ity in their dress as they wore their JROTC uniform almost every day. Most wore their uniform with pride. We kept a nylon sock with us, said Jerry Schoenefeld, class of ' 62. In case of a surprise inspection we were pre- pared to shine our shoes. On the days that guys were allowed to wear civilian clothes, they wote tab shirts, cords, sweaters, and occasional- ly a narrow tie. Hairstyles were as important as clothing. For girls the pageboy was popular and for the guys the crew cut was a must. Ponytails were popular. Hair was long and curled at the ends, said Beverly Payne, class of ' 56. Hair looked kind of dumpy. We didn ' t have the convenience of hair dryers.

The casual, fun look was big and Cadets opted for comfort. I thought personalities came out better when people were comfortable, said senior Regina Moorhead. Sweaters took on a new look. The Forenza sweater had a variety of necklines. The crew neck and scoop neck were popular and the v-neck was much deeper than in previous years. Girls wore bright cotton t- shirts and blouses under them. Girls found a new but expensive way to cover up broken nails. A solid gold finger tip covered the pinkv. They added class, said Moorehead. If you looked closely, you could see a shiny gold stud or a diamond daz- zling the ear of some males. My friend and I decided to get it done last summer, said junior Geoff Zink. I liked it, it was different and brought up interesting conversation. No matter what Cadets wore, style was important in projecting their own personality.

This was the theme for the annual Concordia Education Foundation banquet held on November 2. The banquet was highlighted with past teachers and principals reminiscing about memories from the days they taught at Concor- dia. This gave the Fort Wayne community an opportunity to be more aware of Concordia High School, said Director of Development Mr. Dick Katt. It gave them a chance to sup- port Concordia. One purpose of the CEF banquet was to raise money to help CLHS students financially. Thir- teen students received endowed scholarships while 151 students who could not afford Con- cordia were granted scholarships based on worth and merit. The banquet was started in 1959 with a few of the founding members having lunch together and pitching in some extra dollars, said Katt. In its 25 year existence, the banquet has raised $600,000, he said. — Tim Klage Over 900 people attended our 25th banquet. They heard 27 out of the 30 founding members give speeches and introduce past teach- ers and principals that they worked with. Besides that, it was a great dinner! — Dick Katt Students Reach Out With Rakes Squeeking windows and crunching leaves. These were the sounds of any clean-up day around the house, but Cadets were more famil- iar with them on Lutheran Outreach Day. According to Mr. Jon Anderson, there were two purposes for Lutheran Outreach Day. Our first goal was to help others in need, but we also wanted to help ourselves. In order to grow in faith you have to have faith in action, said Anderson. The project, which started in 1977, had good attendance its first five years with 100 or more students showing up to help. But the past two years have left something to be desired, accord- ing to Pastor Donald Rauhut, director of Luth- eran Outreach. I account the low attendance in 1983 to the snowstorm we had, but I don ' t know why it was low this year, he said. I think it might have been a promotional problem, or maybe Luth- eran Outreach Day is just worn out and we need to rethink it, said Rauhut. Although students only completed 40 per- cent of the jobs they promised, everyone in- volved still felt it was a worthwhile cause. I thought it was worthwhile because the senior citizens who got help thought it was fantastic.

This is what it took to prepare for the ISSMA, Indiana State School Music Association, competition. In early February, all ISSMA participants who advanced from District competition to State were once again observed, scrutinized, critizized, and evaluated by judges. They then received a score based on their overall performances. When I received a compliment from one of the judges that made me feel good about play- ing. Also, I grew from the competition because of all the work I put into it, said senior Margo Mader, clarinet player. The competition gave me a chance to better myself and to get insights from respectable people in the field on the music I played, said pianist Bill Dickemeyer, senior. Some participants entered for the chance to compete at the state level and to improve them- selves based on the judges ' comments. Others entered for the experience, and others yearned for the exposure. I entered because I wanted the opportunity to prepare a piece to be evaluated on, said junior Stephanie Dowden, The suggestions given by the judges were very beneficial. — Katie Wasson Presenting a Bible reading for ' Christmas at Concor- dia ' sophomore Lisa Sandstrom reads Luke 2:1-7. 22 School News Concern Shown Through Giving What do cans, homeroom auctions, and lots of clothing have in common? This collabora- tion made up Concotdia ' s annual Christmas Bu- reau collection. In early December all homerooms were as- signed a family. They then collected canned good, clothing, toys, and money for their fam- ilies. By holding an auction, some rooms, like room 311, raised as much as S74. In all, 26 families benefitted from Concordia ' s effort. Mrs. Ruth VonDeylen headed the drive, with help from seniors Beth Bultemeyer and Cami Piekarski and juniors Mario Odier and Dawn Parr. It was great to see the kids get involved with their families, said VonDeylen. I like to see them sharing and showing Christian love. Helping with the Christmas Bureau was a chance to help some other people have a better Christmas, said Bultemeyer. Most of the manual work was done in the ' swap shop ' held for three days in the home ec room. Von Deylen and her helpers had to sort through the clothing and locate any odd sizes that were needed to meet a family ' s needs.

The purpose of the service was to share the Good News with the people who couldn ' t go to church Christmas day, freshman Inez McCall said. The program included the a cappella choir, and two guests pastors, Rev. Arthur Klausmeier and Rev. Robert Liese. These combined to pre- sent the program for the twenty -first year. It aired on WKJG-TV, Channel 33, in coopera- tion with Lutheran Hospital. The program was a good way for our city to know we (Concordia) exist. We have an impor- tant and valuable ministry in the community, said Rev. Dennis Borchers, who presented the message. Two special additions were worked into the program: the Nativity scene was shown during the Bible readings and the service concluded with the audience wishing viewers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We incorporated a live Christmas card to the community from the students, said Mr. Richard Katt, producer of the program. Borchers presented the message entitled, Why can ' t Christmas just be Christmas? He was also in charge of organizing the actual worship service and writing the liturgy. It was my way of praising my Lord at Christmas time, said Borchers. — Katie Wasson reps opening the- ' swap shop ' CO .ilk clothing for their Christmas Bureau families, Mrs. Ruth VonDeylen, seniors Cami Piekarski and Beth Bulte- meyer, and junior Mario Odier discuss their duties.

With the move of GM to the area, many local workers had the opportunity to build trucks once more. The official statement came on August 31 with the welcomed words: We are delighted to announce that the GM Truck and Bus Group will be locating a plant in Allen County, by Patrick Caletta, vice president and director of operations for the GM group. Soon, the signs of enthusiasm could be seen in the city. The greatest auto manufacturer in the world, stated Maury O ' Daniel, chairman of the chamber, selected the greatest city in the world in which to locate. This celebration came a year after the last truck was produced at the International Har- vester Plant in Fort Wayne. This shut down, in July of 1983, left the city with unemployed workers in the midst of the worst recession that this country has seen since the great depression. The economy has made a strong recovery, and these workers have a chance of a job at GM, stated a local newspaper. My uncle used to work at International Harvester, stated freshman Eric Lahey. He has a really good job at another firm now, but I think that a lot of people will be able to get jobs with GM. Workers at the IH plant, along with laid-off workers from other cities had an opportunity to the 3,000 jobs offered. The planned pay for the assemblers was $12.67 an hour, or $506.80 per week, not including overtime and benefits. The plant was located at Lafayette Center Road and Interstate 69, and covered over 937 acres of land. It should open in 1986, and will start producing for the 1987 line of half-ton and three quarter -ton pickup trucks. It will be able to produce over 230,000 vehicles yearly, and the plant will be valued at $500 million. — Chip Evanson „ 24 Local News Opening its doors on January 19 , the Grand Wayne Center was finally completed 40 years after its conception.

Reagan was only the second man to be elect- ed to two terms since 1957. In January he was one of the most popular presidents of modern times, according to Newseek Magazine.

Retton was the first woman from the L ' nited States to win the All -Around competition in gymnastics.

I think using an artifi- cial heart was good because if God didn ' t want us to preserve a man ' s life. He wouldn ' t have let us get so far in the success of the heart trans- plant, said ]unior Randy Patterson. Because he only had a short time to live, Schroeder agreed to the heart transplant by Dr. William DeVries in November. Although he was two years over the maximum age for the operation and had diabetes, the operation was undertaken. The Schroeder family was aware of the risks, but tried to look only at the positive results. I was glad the Schroeder family decided to go through with the heart transplant because even if he wouldn ' t have lived, the knowledge gained would have been worth it, said sopho- more Matt Stoudt. By February Schroeder was able to walk, eat solid foods and was happy just to have gotten the chance to live a little longer. He looked forward to being able to leave the hospital. Because of the success of Schroeder ' s trans- plant, another transplant was undertaken with a Louisville, KY man in March.

That was Webster ' s Dictionary ' s defini- tion of the word terrorist. People who killed people and blew up buildings, said sophomore Steve Habegger. During September in East Beirut, a driverless truck carrying a bomb was headed toward the U.S. Embassy with the intent of blowing it to bits. A guard fired a shot and hit the truck causing it to explode prior to reaching its desti- nation. A few were killed or injured, but not nearly as many as would have if it had reached its destination. Indira Gandhi was unable to escape the ac- tions of terrorists. She was assassinated in Octo- ber by two of her own guards. The terrorists achieved their goal, but the damage inflicted went far beyond the death of Gandhi. Violent riots broke out after her death and nearly 2000 people died. Terrorists tried, but didn ' t succeed, in assassinating the Prime Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher. Explosives had been placed under the floor boards in the bathroom of her hotel room before she had arrived and were controlled by a timer. After walking out of the bathroom, there was an explosion that demol- ished the exact place she had been standing only minutes before. Not only presidents, prime ministers and other political figures had to worry about being tortured or killed by terrorists, but also com- mon, average everyday people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two terrorists hijacked a plane in Iraq and demanded the release of 17 of their fellow hijackers. Immedi- ately after their request, they killed one Ameri- can without even waiting for an answer. After receiving a negative reply, they killed another. They were later captured. Terrorists were to be feared. They were a group of people whose thoughts were illustrat- ed by violence. One terrorist said, We had only to be lucky once. You had to be lucky always. Meaning, for us to kill someone it only took one shot of a gun and the act was over, never to be done again, but their intended victims had to be aware of an assassination attempt not only once, but always because if at first they didn ' t succeed, they certainly tried again.

Malnutrition, starvation and disease all be- came familiar to those living in Ethiopia. Over one million men, women and children died there in 1984 and early 85. Lack of food was attributed to the lack of rainfall, which caused crops not to grow, ani- mals to die and rivers to dry up. The drought mainly affected the farmers and herdsmen living in the desert. Since there was very little food, the immune systems of the hungry people were weakened.

When I looked up into the stands, I usually looked for my mom, said senior Dana Martin Then I saw the cheerleaders yelling for the team. It made me feel great. I thought the crowd got into some of the bigger and more well-known cheers, but we would have liked it if they would have gotten involved in most of the cheers that we did, stated varsity cheerleader Kelly Beck. According to senior Jill Jarvis, The fans of Concordia never gave the pom pon squad a bad reaction. They usual- ly seemed to enjoy them. Both the pom pons and cheer- leaders practiced hard to perfect their routines. We practiced every day. It usually took about one and a half to two weeks to get a routine ready to perform, remarked Jarvis, co- captain of the pom pons. — John Bakalar The 1984-85 Reserve Che Tharp, Susan Schoenherr. 1 Minnick, Pam Heisler. rleaders: Vale Irmscher.

We made sure the DJ ' s played the music that we wanted. We wrote a contract and if they didn ' t play the songs that we suggested, we didn ' t pay them, said Kolleen Macke, Ju- nior Class President. Blood donor day attracted almost triple the number of givers from past years. I think we got more people because we contacted individuals, commented Jeff Inge, Student Council President. No group was without some kind of problem. There was some irre- sponsiblility in work we had to do, said senior Jeff Sassmannshausen. It was frustrating to have people say that they would come to clean up and we ended up having seven people show. Cancordia was introduced by Student Council. Students brought in can goods and they were stacked up to form a pyramid. The food was giv- en to Lutheran Social Services. Kiss the pig earned money for United Way. Students put money in buckets and the teacher who had the most money had the honor of kissing the pig. Overall, the feelings about Student Council were good.

The caroling sites were the homes of shut-ins who would enjoy the caroling. 38 fca V FCA Finds Music Alternate rhe time was six o ' clock. The date: November 4. The event: a Joint FCA meeting. As FCA members listened to a presen- tation by 95Q disc jockey Bill Tucker, they learned about contemporary Christian music. Tucker has a program that ' s aired every Sunday morning called Awakening. I think the presentation by Mr. Tucker really opened our eyes to see an alternative to the rock music we usually hear on 97 or 104, stated sophomore Susie Schoenherr. It helped us to find music we can listen to that ' s our pace, and had a good beat, commented junior Cheryl Weiss, co -president of Girls ' FCA. The difference was that it had Chris- tian lyrics. Following the presentation, stu- dents gathered in the Auxiliary Gym to participate in a fun -filled obstacle course. They were divided into teams, and encountered the bunny hop, leap forg, and the wheelbarrel race. I felt it was one of the better meetings we had, said senior Paul Schult, president of Boys ' FCA. We just had fun, listened to good music, and got to know one another better. Other activities held by FCA in- cluded a Christmas caroling party and sessions to learn about relationships, commitment, and the importance of daily prayer. We emphasized the need to read the word daily. stated adviser Miss Lisa Schroer. Through this, I ' ve seen several students become closer in their walk with God. — Mario Odier During their usual meeting before school on Mondays, junior Cheryl Weiss and sophomore Amy Koehlinger talk with adviset Mts.

Friends com- bined with friends to raise stu- dent participation in the group. The last two years we ' ve had good student turnouts, stated Mr. David Gemmer, director. Intramurals, physical activities for young men who weren ' t in varsity sports, carried an easy-paced schedule for those involved. I joined intramur- als to keep in shape and to have fun. A lot of my friends were part of it, stated senior Andy Simerman. I remember the time Paul Schult spiked a ball right into Tim Klage ' s Joins Organizations face. It didn ' t improve his ability, but everyone laughed, stated Jim Barlow. Winter soccer club, led by Mr. Mark Sell, gave a positive outlook on being a club member. We all got along. We showed harmony when playing and when practicing, stated sophomore Matthew Stoudt. Soccer club only met once a week for practice and games usually were held Wednesday nights. The time we shared wasn ' r enough for the team to be close like a family, but if we had the time, we ' d have the family, stated Sell. Sports wasn ' t the only basis for clubs. Afro-American Club presented an organization for black students to learn about their heritage. What most students didn ' t realize was Afro- American Club was not only for black students, but for any student. It was started to prevent racism between stu- dents and has just continued, stated adviser Mr. David Gemmer. We got together for planning of upcoming events and for fun, stated chairman Glenda Freeman. — Karla Maraldo Blocking senior Mark Witmer from a chance for a basket, senior Andy Knudten en- joys intramurals.

Afro - American Soccer Intramurals 4 1 v ntroducing Two Newcomers ust when it was thought that Concotdia had all the clubs it could handle, two new ones become wotking members at our school. SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) was a fairly new idea which grew rapidly once it got under way. SADD was a national organization started a few years ago by a hockey coach in Massachussets who saw two of his players killed as a result of drunk driving. SADD was a way of making kids aware of the problems of driving drunk and coping with them, said adviser Don Luepke. We got parents involved also, through a written con- tract that both teen and parents stated that if the teen was caught in a situa- tion involving alcohol, the parents would go pick up the kid with no questions asked. And the same rule was applied the opposite way, he ad- ded. The group planned activities pro- grammed to make others not in the group aware of the problem at hand. They planned a day dedicated to this at school with assemblies and booths for students to visit during their study halls. The same presentation was made to PTA at a special meeting after school on March 19th. SADD: FRONT ROW: J. Bakalar, C. Simon- son, A. Carter. L. Abdon BACK ROW: C. Rig- don. B. Brant. K. Schenkel, J.

Sarah Stalder and Michelle Applegate are among those who attended SADD meetings to learn about these problems. Sock and Buskins Senior Class production of 1959 The Boy Friend ' was a full-fledged musical-comedy set in the ' Roating Twenties ' era, with the Knights of Swing performing the underscore for the many musical numbers in the play. The other club was a revival of an earlier one here at Concordia. The drama club, or Improv, was created to sharpen stage skills of interested stu- dents through a variety of means. We visited other theatres in the area also and one far away to watch their stage techniques and we put them to use for our own good. We saw the play ' Cats ' in Chicago and also wrote a play ourselves to perform for grade school kids as recruitment exer- cise for the school, said Vice Presi- dent Matt Kizer. — Scott Hille 42 SADD Improv Participating for the first time as a club at Concordia, SADD president John Baka- lar introduces plans and ideas to members at the first meeting of the year.

Clubs provided the opportunity for stu- dents to expand their knowledge and inter- ests, allowed for social interaction, and pro- vided leisure-time activities that were con- structive and wholesome. — Mr. Guenther Herzog Organization Modification Where did the Societas Romana, the Camera Club and the Lounge Committee that so dutifully made sure that the lounge T.V. was always clean, disappear to? And what about the Co- vocation Committee, Walther League and the Martha Society? Where are they? Some of these clubs changed names, while others died. JROTC used to have only three groups but has since added Color Guard, IDR, Officers Club, and Spe- cial Forces. It has also admitted fe- males into its ranks. Development Director Mr. Dick Katt, 1939 graduate remembered, We had a few different clubs then. We had a Forensic Society, which was a debate club and speaking group. I also rememberd a Forum Literary Society, which was a sort of writing group, but those groups have since disappeared, added Katt. Math teacher Don Luepke recalled a few clubs that have changed from the years that he was a student. Lu- minarian and Lu-Hi Voice were clubs then, not regular classes. All members took time outside of their regular class One of the big events fot the officers in the JROTC department in 1959 was the Officers Ball, which has carried on and is still held at Concordia today. schedules to work, which was a big commitment. The Student Council was much more enthusiastic in their elections then. They would plaster the school with posters and decorations instead of just getting petitions signed, Luepke said. There was no Chamber Choir then, stated Secretary Nancy Mur- phy, class of 1954. We had an Inter- com Choir instead. Chapel was held every day over the intercom and so we had a special group from A Cappella that sang over the system. According to Principal Guenther Herzog, The old Drama Club used to be called Sock and Buskin. They held meetings to try to sharpen their theat- rical skills, and also performed two or three plays a year. I think that clubs provided the op- portunity for students to expand their knowledge and interests, allowed for social interaction, and provided lei- sure-time activities that were con- structive and wholesome, comment- ed Herzog. — Scott Hille History Feature 43 lasses Innovate New textbooks, term papers, spe- cial projects — all part of a Golden Anniversary year which brought changes in classes and curriculum. Advanced computer programming provided a new course for students with extra interest. Earth Science re- placed General Science. Sophomores had the opportunity to take Honors English. Several English courses had new in- structors as the department tried to provide fresh course content for teachers. English O became the do- main of Mrs. Linda Schwartz and Miss Dianne Shrubsall as Mr. Kurt Jordan took on Challenge of Self- Awareness. Having taught freshmen since I start- ed, I was worried I might not have a challenging enough class, said Shrubsall. It was a great experience. An interesting quarter project cre- ated for Physics saw four students produce their own Black Hole on videotape. Computer topics students taught HERO the robot to say, Let ' s party. English O students researched actual murders, some of which took place in the 1800s. They spent many hours reading microfilm at the IPFW and downtown public library. History students researched important people in history using American Heritage. The best thing about Concotdia was the fact we had teachers who cared about us, said junior Karen Linkhart. And that m ade learning from them all the more worthwhile. — Cheryl Engebrecht. Making a wet mount slide, sophomore Brian Hamer dyes the starch gtains from a potato.

' It ' s deadline time — a phrase that struck fear in the hearts and minds of every Luminarian staff member. Deadlines were a time when everything came together: pictures, copy, layouts, headlines and captions were labeled, stamped, checked, stick - ered and double-checked. Then everything was divided by page into orderly envelopes. Love those deadlines, said staff member Karla Mar- aldo sarcastically. New and Improved is a phrase that could of been used to describe the yearbook. Changes included a bigger book, increasing the size to 9x12, introducing four column layouts and his- tory features. We wanted to explain the changes and background of Concordia, said co-editor Cheryl Engebrecht. We made every effort to make the book the best, something to be really proud of, said co- editor Sue Wade. The 50th anniversary is a big milestone. I think the alumni would be disappointed if the book didn ' t honor the anniversary. commented student teacher Mr. Dave Kusch. The editors attended workshops at IU and Manchester College. Those helped improve our ability to draw layouts and just do everything in general, said Engebrecht. Organization along with planning was the key to a good yearbook. Without organization, there would be more chaos, mix-ups, and con- fusion, said copy editor Laura Abdon. We have a professional book and handled things well. Our writing is better than many schools, adviser Mrs. Linda Schwartz said. The Luminarian compares favorably with any other yearbook in the state, said the Jos - tens ' representative Mr. Mark Childs. For the first time, computers aided the staff in writing their copy. I have never taken typing so I had to stay after school to get my copy done, said sophomore Katie Wasson. Using the computer was a lot easier. A poster in the publications room summed up many staff member ' s feelings about the year- book. It read, Ou t of chaos, a yearbook! — Julie Klausmeier Sharing the feeling not again!

It was the only class that was required all four years. English is used all your life, said Miss Dianne Shrubsall, English 9 teacher. It ' s the main way to communicate. It has a lot to do with your first impression of a person. You notice their reading and writing, she said. With the increasing influence of visuals. MTV, movies, and magazine ads with strong visual impact, English became more important in order to learn to interpret these. In this technical age, many times you were as good as you were able to read, said Mr. Kurt Jordan, department chairman. Honors English, a class for sophomores who had above average English abilities, was intro- duced this year. According tojordan, teacher of the course, Because it is a ' new ' class, we see the possibility and opportunity of going a little farther with many of our course activities. Students of the class had good feelings about it and respected it as a class they really had to put much work into. Good grades didn ' t come easy in this class. I had to spend a lot of time on my work, said sophomore Kelly Rhodes. Honors English put a lot of challenge on the things I did. It broadened my views, said soph- omore Vicki Elliott. Freshmen got their first taste of stage fright as they gave demonstration speeches. The stu- dents were able to pick an easy topic that they were comfortable with, said Shrubsall. They didn ' t have to talk the whole time as they could fall back into the action they were doing. I was scared and nervous at first. I made a sandwich and it helped focus my attention on something else besides the people who were watching me, said freshman Jamey Mueller. Mr. Jordan ' s creative writing classes created a photo essay of Fort Wayne. The booklet stu- dents made was a guide to the city using pic- tures. The booklet took a long time to com- plete.

Reporters broke out in a cold sweat while editors pulled out their hair. Would the Lu-Hi Voice be ready for print by deadline? It wasn ' t an easy task to get the newspaper out every other week. There were interviews to be conducted, copy to be written and rewritten, facts to be reported, layouts to be designed and, of course, deadlines to be met. Those on the staff for their first year had to learn about the paper, how to use the computer, and how to write good stories. It was hard at first, but the older and more experienced staff members were very helpful with their suggestions and support, said soph- omore Pam Heisler. Senior Mark Witmer said, When I was new on the staff, I was used to writing compositions. I had to learn how to condense stories by writ - ing the facts in an organized fashion. Staff members had to get used to the new format and layout of the paper. After attending a workshop at I.U., senior co-editors Dirk Von- derlage and Michelle Buetow came back with several new ideas. As a result, the paper had a new layout, was printed on white paper, and had new feature ideas. Commenting on the new ideas, sophomore Gail Kanning said, I think the paper is crisper and more creative than before. It ' s more inter- esting to look at and read. Not everyone would have been able to write for the Lu-Hi Voice. It took a person who really wanted to write and someone who cared about the work they did. Reporters must be good writers and do well academically, said advisor Mrs. Linda Schwartz, They also need to be responsible and dependable. Being on the Lu-Hi staff was beneficial to me because by interviewing and writing about people, I was able to learn a lot about them, said sophomore Dawn Minnick. Lu-Hi has not only been fun for me, but it has taught me things I couldn ' t learn in an ordinary classroom, said Vonderlage. — Anne Nobis Focusing his lens to get a clear shot, Photo Editor Jeff Lewis, senior, prepares to take a picture of the Christmas Bureau swap shop being set up. affv proofreads writing pos: efully . copy. advis ■ Mrs. Linda Schv- 50 Lu-Hi Voice Lu-Hi helped me to work with people better, and to be able to talk to them more freely.

General of- fice skills, knowledge of accounts payable re- ceivable, and payroll . . . Students enrolled in business courses learned the skills needed to answer ads like this one. Their courses included Typing, Accounting, Electronic Recordkeeping, Shorthand, and Notetaking. There were a variety of reasons people signed up for business courses. I ' m taking Accounting because I plan to manage my own business, and I ' m going to have to know how to keep books, said senior Loren Stewart. Others took business courses just for the fun of it. Junior Gary Schaber commented, I ' m taking Electronic Recordkeeping because I like working with numbers, and so I really looked forward to it. As for the typists: I ' m planning on becom- ing a secretary so I ' ll need personal typing skills, stated junior Chris Newby. Mr. Wayne Panning, head of the department, believed that many students took business courses because, They do well in and enjoy these courses, and students realized that there are jobs in business even though they need a few more years of technical training after high school. Panning taught Accounting and Re- cordkeeping. I emphasized accuracy. Speed would have eventually come along with it, stated Mrs. Pauline Olson, the new teacher on the Business Department staff. She taught notetaking, short- hand, and typing. She didn ' t believe that busi- ness was only for some people, Business is for everyone! Munior Karla Maraldo said taking Account- ing this past year would help her get a summer job working at her father ' s business as a book- keeper. This reinforces Panning ' s opinion that students can learn valuable skills and have fun as well while taking courses in business. — Kim Schenkel As he completes his homewor] keeping, senior Matt Helmke sr having one less assignment to do Electronic Record - at the thought of r the weekend.

Art was very beneficial because it kept creativity in an analytical world, and it ' s great for a hobby. — Debbie Pardel After painting creative, colorful designs on the walls of the Art toom, president Brent Doeffler and treasurer Matt Klage of the Art Club, rinse out their brushes. Puzzled by the color-combination of her project in Drawing class, sophomore Susie Schoenherr asks Mrs. Grossmann for advice. Working on their self-portraits in Drawing Class, juniors Jim Link, Scott Stein, Mario Odier, and Scott Bieberich work very hard to get them completed on time. Art Works Creativity Flows Cannisters filled with popcorn and candy, animal inventions, poster contests, a creative break from other classes! These were some of the activities, experiences, and benefits offered by the Art Department. The Art Department offered Art Survey, Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics. These courses were designed not only to help expand students ' knowlege of the types of art work, but also gave them an appreciation of modern art. Students took art as preparation for a career or as a creative release in a nonstructured course. I ' m planning on going into broadcast- ing as a career so art class is helpful, said sophomore Brent Doerffler. Basic projects were the same, but were built on in a different way each year. I altered the directions a bit, but the basic project stayed the same, stated Mrs. Joan Grossmann. The Drawing Class, for instance, extended the basic project of sketching the human skel- etal system to inventing their own animals. Students had to research skeletal structures of different animals, then invent their own crea- ture, explained Grossmann. I feel this was one of the most beneficial projects of the year, commented senior Steve Wagner. Another part of the Art Department was the Art Club, which included about fifteen mem- bers with officers: Brent Doerffler, president. Matt Klage, treasurer, and Shanna Pabst, secre- tary. Art Club activities mainly included raising money for field ttips by selling cannisters of popcorn and candy. It would be neat if we could have raised enough to go to Chicago, but I think we got a lot out of just going to Fort Wayne ' s Art Museum. Chicago is a long range goal, stated Doerffler. Art members also participated in various competitions. The Scholastic Art Contest in January and St. Francis competition at the end of the year were major ones. Throughout the year, I kept various art works I thought were good enough to enter the competition, said Grossmann. — Kim Schenkel Art Dept. 53 The Spanish Club: FRONT ROW: E. DeWitt, A.

To Latin, Spanish, French and German language students, however, they meant the same thing: Hello. Many students took German because it was part of their heritage, said Mr. Gene Falken- stern. From May 26 until June 3 twelve students had the opportunity to go to Luedenscheid, Germany. They spent most of their time in school. Zeppelin, the German school they at- tended also sent students to CLHS from March 23 to April 13. The Spanish department had two differences this year. A third year Spanish class was added along with a new teacher, Mrs. Barbara Petroff. Sixteen students enrolled in third year Spanish and spent much of their time translating a Span- ish literature book. Petroff began her teaching career at Lake Side Junior High and then spent two years teaching in southern Indiana. The best reason for taking Spanish was be- ing able to say things to my friends who took Spanish, said junior Mike Stout. Each language class also had a club. The main goal was to provide a fun side to all the hard work the students were doing, said Mr. Paul Beutow, Latin teacher. The Latin club had their traditional Latin Banquet, including the entertainment of A Fun- ny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The French club held a Mardi Gras during which they enjoyed French culture and food. The Spanish club sponsored a Spanish dinner which allowed CLHS students to indulge in tacos and refried beans. — Heidi Bieberich The German Club: FRONT ROW: E. Taylor, S. Shank, K. Therkelsen.

All of these things could be found in schools from the past, but Concordia can claim only memories of teeny boppers and sock hops, and most of all, their studies. Concordia was known for its outstanding academics from its very start in 1935. In 1935, the curriculum offerings at CLHS were mostly college preparatory courses, plus some business courses. Now, 50 years later, we have 14 departments with classes ranging from Advanced Biology to Independent Living. The chief reason we had to change our class offerings was because we had a much more diverse student body, said Mr. Kurt Jordan, who began teaching at CLHS in 1955. A large number of students were going to college or technical school, so we needed to strengthen the academic program, he said. Besides school as a whole, changes have come about in separate depa rtments and classes as well. The English Department, for example, has added the phase elective program to its curricu- lum, which simply rates the level of difficulty of each English class. Judged on a five-point scale, each junior and senior course can be chosen by students based on their preference and ability level. I feel school has gotten easier here since my first year, and teachers expectations have lowered, said Jordan. We are far more flexible for a lot of people now than we were when I was a student. We serve the community, said Mr. Carl Gallmeier. With more extra-curricular activities, and students working to raise money for their per- sonal needs, a change has come about in what students do with their time. When I attended CLHS, we were locked in our dormitories for two hours each night and had to do homework, said Gallmeier. Al- though most students don ' t prepare as much as we had to, they get involved in extra-curricular activities which helps them. — Tim Klage My job involves a great deal of variety. I enjoy teaching it because I ' m not doing the same thing hour after hour. — Ruth VonDeylen Learning how to make their first piece of clothing, students at the facility on Anthony and Maumee get acquainted with their sewing machine with the help of their instructor.

What do these people have in common? They all probably started out in classes similar to those found in the Home Economics Department. Foods, Clothing, along with Child Develop- ment and Independent Living classes made up the department. I got involved in Home Ec because I wanted to make clothes that nobody else had, said junior Cherise Dixie. No matter what the class, though, each course was designed to show today ' s youth how to have a better future, whether single or mar- ried. I feel everybody, including guys, needs to be experienced in this area, said Mrs. Ruth Von- Deylen, instructor of all the Home Economics classes. Sometime in theit lives they will use these skills, she said. Each class in the department can claim a unique point in its methods or instructional techniques. In the Child Development class, the life of a child was studied from conception to six years of age, and during each stage of growth, the class did something different. From visiting nursery schools and day care centers, to stu- dents bringing their little brothet or sistet to school, this class found many unique ways to study child development. As a first in its history, senior John Feldkamp became the first male to enroll in this second semester course. I was looking for something to fill third hour in my schedule and Child Development was different from anything I had ever taken. It sounded very interesting, said Feldkamp. The Independent Living class was unique in that guys outnumbered girls ten to five. Guys need to know how to prepare for the responsibilities of living on their own just as much as girls do, said VonDeylen. I think guys should get involved in Home Economics if they enjoy that type of subject, said Feldkamp. — Tim Klage As Home Economics teacher Mrs. Ruth VonDeylen uses hot pads to pull a fresh cake from the oven, sophomore Quay Boykin gets teady to place another one in in her Introduction to Foods class While she studies her sewing manual in her Introduc- tion to Sewing class, sophomore Sally Bredemeyer gets ready to make the next stitch in order to complete her outfit. Home Economics Dept. 57 Programs Stimulate Interest The Social Studies Department sponsored many special programs for students with inter- ests and abilities in government, U.S. history, social studies, psychology, and sociology. One of these special programs was the Con- gressional Student Program. Sponsored by Re- presentative Dan Coats, one student representa- tive was chosen from each district to visit Washington, DC. for four days. These students observed Congress in action, visited and talked with cabinet members, and met with commit- tees and Congressmen. This program gave our students a first-hand account of the duties of our Congressmen and the tremendous amount of work that it takes to run our government, said Mr. Art Pinnow, department chairman. For juniors, the National History Day Con- test was an opportunity to use their special abilities in writing about the theme Triumphs and Tragedies in History. The papers, which were a minimum ot 1500 words long, were judged by experts in the local competition held at IPFW on April 20. Several student papers were selected from those submitted to history teachers for the contest. Another activity for the Social Studies De- partment were student mock elections, which took place during the week of the Presidential campaign, and gave students the chance to ex- press their opinion. I thought it was beneficial because it gave me the opportunity to see how the people around me feel about national and state affairs. That ' s important because those who are able to vote choose who ' s going to run our country, said freshman Chris Gordon. Sophomore Kurt Schmidt agreed that the mock elections were important. They gave the students a chance to take part in a national event where we generally had to sit on the sidelines. They also made us get involved and find out how the many different issues affected us throughout the country. — Rachel Peterson Voting for the state representative he thinks most quali- fied, sophomore Armand Lyons writes down his choice.

Science Fosters Logical Thinking Seek and you shall find. Research and experi- ment and you shall find a scientific conclusion. We tried to teach the kids about everyday things, that were sometimes taken for granted, stated Science Department head and biology teacher Mr. John Schamber. I ' ve gained a logical thought process of tackling a problem, checking all possibilities, and coming up with a logical conclusion, commented senior Dirk Vonderlage. The problem solving skills I ' ve learned have helped me not only in science, but also in life itself. It ' s also increased my awareness of details. Now when I ' m observing things, I look more in terms of specifics rathet than in a general point of view, he said. Using a variety of labs, experiments, and oth- er activities as learning devices, teachers tried to challenge the minds of their students to take a closer look at all things. I found science very interesting and chal- lenging, commented freshman biology student John Daenzer. We looked at everyday phenomena and questioned it, said physics teacher Mr. Martin Moro. That allowed students to encounter a problem, think through it, and find a solution. What did students like most about science? There ' s a lot unknown to me, stated Daenzer. I enjoy the process of finding out more about it. It challenged my mind to explore new things. Then when I realize I ' m beginning to under- stand the material, it gave me a sense of confi- dence in myself, he said. I ' ve learned the basis of how things were made and completely put together, said soph- omore biology student Beth Hollman. I think it was interesting. It got me thinking of how detailed everything is, and it helped me appreci- ate life more because I saw how cleverly God made all things fit into place. It amazed me, stated Vonderlage. It helped me understand how we were made and how all things exist. God is definitely a genius! — Mario Odier leafing up a mixture during chemistry, juniors Michael lanning and John Motycka perform a lab relating to Stoi- hiometry. loving the slide around, sophomore Pam Heisler begins ) search for bacteria floating around under the microscope. Science Dept. 6l Teachers Are Students Too What ' s that you say? Teachets studying? I thought teachets only taught students. I never knew they were students too! Howevet, several mathematics teachers at- tended seminars and classes to broaden theit knowledge of the field, to better help their students. Mr. Don Reinking, chairman of the Math Department, attended a Math and Science High-Tech workshop in which he learned the importance of math in today ' s business world. I ' ve tried to relate this effectively to my stu- dents, commented Reinking. I tried to inform them about what they should know fot the futute. Since I ' ve had actual contact with people on the job, I tried to tell my students what they ' re going to need later in life in terms of mathematical ability. Another teacher who attended class was computer topics teacher Mr. Martin Moto. I took two different courses: Robotics and a High-Tech Workshop, said Moro. A direct result of these courses I took was that in com- putet topics, the students will be learning how to program a robot, stated Moto. I ' ve also ttied to get my students to wotk togethet more in group activities and problem-solving. Mr. Don Luepke had the honor of being one of only 15 teachers ftom around the country, who attended a six week seminar at Princeton University. It was fascinating! stated Luepke. We looked at the growth and effects of tech- nology on society. I learned the process of reading machines, and I plan to teach my stu- dents this same process. I ' ve tried to incorporate what I learned into my classes and I also occa- sionally try to break up the routine in my classes with a puzzle, a story or just my weird sense of humor. I always tried to bting the things I picked up on outside of school into my classroom, com- mented Reinking. I also like to be as open with my students as I can. I want them to feel ftee to ask me any question they may have. I feel the staff presented the material in an understandable way, commented junior Mark Sheets. They share their mathematical knowl- edge with us, while at the same time try to make it as interesting as possible. — Mario Odier Nearing the end of first hour, Mr. Don Reinking grades a few algebra papers from the previous days work.

Classy Sounds In Out Of Class Hey! Do you want go out after school? I wish I could but I have Jazz Band practice tonight. Sorry! How many times did a conversation similar to this one take place? For many students in- volved in the Music Department and its outside activities, it happened too often. Most people who had never participated in a musical organization didn ' t realize how much extra time was given up to accomplish perfec- tion. The Jazz Band and Chamber Singers each practiced one and a half hours a week, whereas the Handbell Choir practiced two hours a week. This time did not include performances which also filled the participants ' free hours. I think mote people would have been in groups such as Singers and Jazz Band. But you had to really commit yourself because of the fact so much time was put into it, said senior Jill Staley, a member of the Chamber Singers. I was willing to give up my free time be- cause I loved music, commented junior Laura Lindeman, a member of the Handbell Choir. Another popular area of the Music Depart- ment included the bands and choirs, which made up the largest part of the Department. Two bands wete offered as classes: Varsity and Cadet Band. There were four choirs in which students could participate: A Cappella choir, the Mens ' and Women ' s choruses, and the Wom- en ' s Glee Club, which was a new addition to CLHS. The final area of the department was the class which taught how music was constructed. Mu- sic Theory was available for those who had a more serious interest in music. Music Theory showed some very basic ex- amples of how music was put together. It began with the most common parts of music and gradually became more complicated, stated Mr. Paul Wills, the instructor of the class. I took Music Theory because I wanted to further my musical knowledge, said sopho- more Kurt Schmidt. — Susie Lytal Music Dept. 65 Varsity Band Knows Tired Toes And a one, and a two, . . . Could that possibly be a Lawrence Welk rerun? No, it was a phrase often heard by the Varsity and Cadet Bands. There was a new twist added to chair audi- tions done each year. This year it was a blind audition which meant the judge had no idea who was playing. Because of the disappoint- ment of some band members with the results, more challenges occurred than in past years. A lot of people were really mad about their placement, so they challenged the person whose chair they wanted. It was confusing and resulted in some hard feelings, commented junior Mi- chael Netterville. Nevertheless, the Varsity Band had a tremen- dous season. They received praise from many judges, fans and other contestants at their com- petitions. The band received a Superior Rating at both District and Regional marching band competition, placing sixth at Regional. They also traveled to New York City for five days in March after getting invitations. Unlike past years, the Varsity Band had an unusually high number of freshmen playing at the varsity level. According to director Mr. Paul Wills, These freshmen showed tremendous tal- ent and played instruments we lacked. Being in Varsity Band as a freshman was a thrill, said freshman Kate Macke. At first the upperclassmen looked down on me because I was a ftosh, but I later gained their respect. For the other freshmen there was Cadet Band. Its purpose was to give experience. The Cadet Band gained experience through per- forming in front of crowds as they gave three concerts, played at a basketball game, and trav- eled to grade schools. Being in Cadet Band gave me much more experience for Varsity Band next year. I enjoyed playing my instrument and learned how to han- dle more complicated music, said freshman Jeff Wilson. — Susie Lytal Varsity Band prepares to play Crown time.

Wilson Band 67 Glee Club Adds Fresh Sound As the choral portion of the Music Depart- ment underwent some changes, its role as a special part of the Christian atmosphere became more prominent. Women ' s Glee Club added a new dimension to choir. It accommodated the number of women interested in singing and placed a sec- ond step between choir and A Cappella. I thought Women ' s Glee Club was special, said T Irmscher. Since there weren ' t as many girls singing, we got more attention; I liked that, said freshman Dawn Koch. Kinne wanted us to internalize the entire song, so we learned a lot about ourselves by singing the music, stated sophomore Ga: Kanning, a member of Glee Club. The choral groups had a unique role. They acted as an inspiration for the student body and others who joined in weekly chapel services or attended concerts. Being a part of the A Cap- pella, the Glee Club or one of the choruses gave students an opportunity to sing. They led praises to God during our corporate worship, said choir director Mr. Tim Kinne. Boy ' s chorus member Mark Konow added, We sang to the glory of God, and that ' s what made us special. Being part of A Cappella gave us a chance to witness our faith in Christ by the songs we sang, stated Brent Doerffler. We had the chance to do this when we performed, sang at churches or went on tour. The student body showed their support and appreciation with the cheese and sausage sales. With its earnings, the Music Department was able to purchase new robes and risers. — Rachel Peterson During the Chrism Cappella choir sing This Day a Child is B. rook place on December 15 m 68 Chorus A Cappella Glee Club Chorus; FRONT ROW: D.

Drafting classes took on a differ- ent look as students were able to design and draw with the use of AUTOCAD software. AUTOCAD is the first computer system tor the industrial arts program. The program cost about $9000 with the system, screen, and plotter arriving before school began. The digitizer, a printer for the drawings, arrived about two months into the school year. We got to be the first to use it. It was faster and more interesting, stated seniors Scott Lambert and Joel Nord. Mr. Fred Weiss, draft- ing teacher, allowed seniors to use the program first. It took up to six weeks to become well acquainted with the program, stated Weiss. The CAD program makes for taster and more accurate drawings. Electricity, World of Construction and Shop still offered the basics. The program helps to acquaint students with field. It helps them to decide if they really like it, stated Richard Wert, electricity and shop teacher. In shop you had to pay attention to every move of the machine, stated Todd Saalfrank. According to Wert, the attitude of the classes were positive and the number of students in each ranged from 17 to 29 people. In World of Construction, students learned how to equip a house with wires for heat and electricity, insert and seal windows, and the basics of home building. I took World of Construction my freshman year. I really had fun in the class, stated Paul Mittermaier. Electricity classes studied everything from small engines to refrigerators. Wert tried to give his students the best possible chances to work with everything. Most high schools deal with one or the other; we deal with everything, stated Mike Kraemer. — Karla Maraldo Clean-up time for senior Roger Till after shop class.

The class was required to learn the fundamentals of the game. Freshman Randy Studinski goes up for a jumpball against an opponent. During class of first year P.E., freshman Sarah Lindeman spots freshman Gail Reddeman as she does a handstand. The basic moves of floor gymnastics were part of the course. Giving a helping hand to Shelly Bobay, Miss Vicki Wright explains a P.E. test. As in the past, written tests were an important part of the P.E. ' s curriculum along with skills tests. P.E. Skills Important To Future Smelly sweat socks, dirty shorts, and grimy tennis shoes stuffed in lockers might be the only things seen in the locker room. But when ob- serving on the gym floor, it ' s apparent that physical education involves far more. Physical education, better known as P.E., played a role in everyone ' s lifestyle, physical and mental. It gave students a chance to play the sport and learn the background of it. Concor- dia ' s unique in the way that everyone looks at the role education plays, stated Miss Vicki Wright. Physical education here was considered important not only for the school year but for the student ' s life. Wright was the newest member of the Phys- ical Education Department. Wright, along with Mr. Craig Hoffman and Mr. Jack Massucci, believed that the majority of the students have a positive outlook on P.E. P.E. grades were no longer based on just physical ability. Both male and female student grades were based on ability, attitude, and writ- ten test grades. It was hard; we had to do reports and work real hard, stated Amy Rein- hard. For the first time Health and Safety class was separate from drivers education, stated Hoffman. Six to eight weeks were used for written book skills in drivers education in the past. This year students took that portion dur- ing a study hall. C.P.R. was also taken out of P.E. classes and added to Health and Safety. Advanced P.E. classes open to juniors and seniors gave them the opportunity to learn sports they might use in later life, like bowling, volleyball, and tennis. Advanced P.E. was bet- ter than first year P.E. because you could do different things like bowling, stated Todd Saalfrank. Weightlifting, which allowed males and fe- males to workout in the weightroom, was the smallest of the P.E. classes. — Karla Maraldo Physical Education Dept. 71 Love Shown By Staff And ' Peers ' A new look came over the Religion Depart- ment as Pastor Dennis Borchers replaced the former head, Pastor Ron Stelzer, who accepted a call to a parish in New York. I feel that the calling was God directed, said Borchers. I was open for a call, and al- though I didn ' t know why He chose me, I was glad to be here. I feel that Concordia had a good thing going with the Religion Department. said sen- ior Dianne Schultz. Religion was what made Concordia unique, and I know that I benefited from this school ' s emphasis on religion. Another aspect of religion was the love shown from student to student. This love was typified by a special group of students called the Peer Counselors. The Peer Counselors were a group of select students who were trained to listen to their peer ' s problems. I felt that I was a vehicle of the Lord, said senior Tim Miller, one of the peer counselors. He gave me the ability to listen well, and I felt that I was using this gift in a good way. Mr. John Marks, the director of the program, felt very strongly about the function of the group. I felt that it was a needed program at this school, he said. Students could talk to someone about their problems, and they usually felt less intimidated by another student. The program was not set up to give advice to students. The counselors were only there to listen. The student usually worked out the problem himself. I saw so many students trying to help out a friend by giving advice, and it turned out to be bad advice. The counselors only listened and helped out the student any way they could, added Marks. I didn ' t know if the people at Concordia appreciated what they had here, stated Borchers. Being at Concordia is going to be a growing experience for me, and I only see big- ger and better things to come. — Chip Evanson 12. Religion Dept. Center Means Personal Attention Computers, test-taking workshops, and one- on-one learning experiences all made up the Learning Center. One of the newest of the items offered in the Center, a computer, was donated to the school by a parent. With the computer, students could work on individual needs as the programs are designed to show progress of each student, said Mrs. Shirley Jordan, the director of the program. Students who went to the Center for help came from all walks of student life. You can ' t categorize them, stated Jordan. Some came to improve math skills, some came to improve their grammar or to work on a research paper, and some for the test -taking workshops, she added. The reason that I enjoyed the Learning Cen- ter so much was that we were not given big pressures or hassles to get our work done, commented junior Bart Springer. We were able to work at our own pace. I needed help in Creative Writing, and the Learning Center has not only helped me, but I ' m sure that the program has helped a lot of students, stated junior John Motycka. The idea behind the original program was to have a one-on-one relationship between stu- dent and teacher. The program, if nothing else, can improve the self-confidence in the student, and that can be very important to them, said Jordan. The Learning Center started in 1979, and has grown much since then. I feel that it has be- come an intricate part of school, and the atti- tude had become very positive, said Jordan. People who came were the people who wanted to improve their skills. I was glad to have seen the program develop and diversify into the many subjects we now cover, she added. — Chip Evanson Talking to one of the Learning Center students, Mrs. Shirley Jordan returns an English paper.

The guidance counselors were there to help or just listen. The main purpose of the Guidance Department was to help the student know him- self better, said Gallmeier. They helped pick the best classes for me, said junior Brian Wagner. Guidance staff helped people pick the appropriate classes and colleges. They also helped students pick out their future jobs through Career Awareness, shadowing tor junior year students and a career unit in sophomore English classes. The career unit was different for a class of 26. The Honors English class, taught by Mr. Kurt Jordan, didn ' t have to write the traditional ca- reer paper but did many smaller projects con- cerning their futures. One such project was to look at a few world problems and different ways to go about helping to change those prob- lems. They didn ' t write the career exploration paper, but instead did a future project with which they weren ' t limited to looking at only their careers, but also other aspects of their futures, said Jordan. The Guidance Department was also involved in assisting students with scholarship applica- tions, competitions and testing. One competi- tion was the Voice of Democracy contest. Stu- dents wrote and tape-recorded an essay entitled My Pledge to America. It added to my de- termination as I searched for a scholarship and strengthened in me the importance to love America, said winner Jill Staley, senior. Other programs encouraged by the Guidance Department were Junior Achievement, Explor- ers groups and tests such as the PSAT and ASVAB. We just tried to encourage students to explore their interests and analyze their God- given talents to be able to make decisions bene- ficial to their futures, said Crownover. — Heidi Bieberich Students listen as Professor William Houser from the Seminary informs them about his job in the ministry.

Shooting in a rifle range competing only against yourself. Being on a campout in the cold January weather for three days. Where can you do and exper- ience all of this? In JROTC. JROTC classes worked on a few new things and gained some major accomplishments. Ma- jor Tibor Bierbaum said, Last year we tried something new. We gave all seniors a certain assignment. One senior was assigned to work on the paper drive; one was assigned to work on organizing the auction, etc. The whole battalion was run by the seniors. They were given a dead- line to get all of their assignments and they had to be done on time. I felt that the whole year went well, he said. We got new rifles to use in the range; how- ever we didn ' t use them until November, said Sgt. Paul Miller. The students showed more enthusiasm in shooting than compared to when we used the old rifles. I enjoyed marksmanship and kayaking, ju- nior Chris Rigdon said. Kayaking was some- thing new. It was fun and it wasn ' t really that hard either. The kayaks, which had been donated to the program, were used in October by juniors in JROTC. One weekend trip was taken down the St. Joe River from Cedarville and another during the school day started at Johnny Appleseed Park across from school during fourth hour. Junior Matt Kizer said, I really enjoyed kayaking and I would someday like to kayak the rivers of Fort Wayne. ROTC has helped me in different ways. It helped me find ways to manage my time and manage the things I do, said Matt Helmke, Commander of Special Forces. It also taught me about people and their reactions to different problems. Special Forces Unit conducted a winter campout in January. Many people thought that ROTC was just marching around and putting on a uniform, but it was not, freshman Chris Gordon stated. It was a lot more than that. — John Bakalar Kayaking down ih Dave Hambrock Wayr Rigd River, junic try to keep their kayak JROTC took the kayaks from ( s Don Nord and n course.

He quickly relays his sighting to his commander, as soon a whole squad walks into the ambush trap. If only they knew . . . This feeling of competition and excitement was what pumped through the veins of a com- peting Cadet. It didn ' t matter if the Cadet par- ticipated in a camp out, or a drill meet, or a rifle match. All experienced the same feeling. I enjoyed not only the competition of camp outs, but I also enjoyed the dedication and drive it took to get through them, said senior Brent Lahey. This determination included many sac- rifices. Being on a drill team meant that I had to get up early in the mornings, said junior Ralph Shorey. The three drill teams had to be on the practice floor by 7:30 every school morning. Besides having a great opportunity for self- improvement, these teams also enjoyed the traveling too. What I enjoyed most was the fact that I got to go to all the events, added Shorey. But just being with friends was a fun part too. Practice was said to be the key element for any competition team. I never shot before my freshman year, stated junior Dean Williams. But practice and more practice helped me to not only shoot well, but to be one of the top six shooters at Concordia. But along with all the competition came pressure and nervousness. I always worried if I was going to perform well at drill meets, said Shorey. Much concentration was needed for performing as a team. I just tried to get everything out of my mind before I shot, said Williams. I tried to pretend that the match was only a practice. You can ' t go through life without competi- tion, said Major Tibor Bierbaum, sponsor for many of the JROTC groups. One should al- ways have goals to strive for, and when that goal is met, we should set another. Competition makes this process possible. — Chip Evanson Demonstrating the exciting triple-twirl, seniot Matt Helmke keeps his eye on the nfle.

Pushing themselves to do their very best. Cadet athletes repeated these ac- tions over again. Working my hardest and pushing myself to the limit in practices im- proved my performances, said junior cross country member Ruth Dahling. It also made me feel better about myself. Fans cheered. They had good rea- son to. Seniors Darius Maxwell and Steve Wagner were named to the All- State Football Team. It was the first time in Concordia ' s history for such an event. It was exciting and made the entire season worthwhile, com- mented Wagner. Another group of Cadet athletes proved themselves worthy of fans ' cheers. They gymnastics team was voted number one in a preseason poll. Attendance at home meets increased so much that they were moved up- stairs to the main gym. Competition. Tough competition. There was no doubt in a CLHS fan ' s mind that area competition was ex- tremely difficult. SAC competition was harder for us than other schools in the SAC because of our small size, not lack of talent, stated junior Cherise Dixie. Beginnings. 1984 marked the be- ginning of a new sport at CLHS. Girls ' Golf was made available for interested Cadets. Because it was a new team, we didn ' t have much experience. We learned as we played in the matches, said senior Heidi Wehrmeister. Endings. 1984 also marked the end- ing of an era. Varsity football coach, Mr. Dick Wert, resigned after five years of coaching. When the games, meets and sea- sons finally ended, all the sweating, training, and pushing were rewarded. The echoes of cheering fans rang through the minds of the players. Ac- complishment.

Fore! No, actually there were six girls participating on the new girls ' golf team. Girls ' golf may have been new to CLHS, but not to some students. It was exciting to be a ' pioneer ' for a new sport. I was very happy to hear about the new team because my father wanted me to try out for the boys ' team, said freshman Gail Reddeman. Starting a new sport took planning as well as organization. First of all, I had to determine what golf course the team should use. I decided on LakeSide because it wasn ' t an extremely hard course, explained coach Art Pinnow. It gave team members the chance for success. Next I had to get practices set up. After plans were made, practices began. Al- though improving their game was each team member ' s goal, friendships and spirit helped form the team ' s unity. The team had a great deal of spirit. Everyone came to practices and even spent their spare time practicing, com- mented senior Tina Glass. But golf offered more than friendships among team members. I met a lot of people from different schools, said Glass. When you play golf, it ' s basically a one-on-one sport, so you ' re able to become better acquainted with the other player. Golf is an individual sport requiring indivi- duals with talent. A player must be dedicated and work hard to improve her game, but once this is achieved, golf is a good carry-over for the rest of one ' s life, said Pinnow. Since this was the team ' s first year, they lacked a certain amount of experience. In prep- aration for the future, however, even that could be gained. Some of the team hadn ' t played very much, but there are a lot of places to learn. Prior experience was helpful, said Reddemann. We just needed more people with experience and the will to practice. Though they only played one year, seniors enjoyed the experience. Being on the team was a highlight of my last year, said Margo Mader. — Laura Abdon Adjusting her grip, freshman Gail Reddemann concen- trates on sinking the putt on the fifth hole at sectionals.

Equipment for all the teams was always a top pri- ority for us, and it was also impor- tant that we had a high quality system, said Ed Brackmann, ath- letic director. Sports Expand Over Years Long ago, before sports ... BE- FORE SPORTS??!! Unbelievable! It ' s hard to imagine not having sports at Concordia. The first sport to be adopted was boys ' basketball, which started in 1935. High school games were usually played as preliminaries to the junior college team. In 1943 they played in their first state tournament. The school joined what was called the City Series in 1945. Then in 1955 the school became associated with the NEIAC, and stayed with the group until 1975, when they joined the SAC. Throughout all the changes, though, games were the highlight of the week for students. At that time, young people en- joyed going to the basketball games and being involved in all the excite- ment, said Byard Hey, graduate and former coach. Those games were the main attraction for kids. There weren ' t the outside distractions there are to- day. The second interscholastic sport was tennis, which began in 1938. Track followed, beginning in 1942. A major problem was that a track was needed to provide the team with proper facilities for competition. Her- bert Bredemeier. among others, initi- ated the development of the cinder track. Boys ' golf came next (1944), fol- lowed by football in 1947. Football actually began as an intramural sport in 1946, but it wasn ' t until the year after that it began a full schedule. Baseball and cross country both started in the same school year, 1953- 54. The most recent addition was wrestling, which started in 1964. Although girls participated in intra- mural sports and some interschool competition, the first regular sched- uled team was track in 1969. Girls ' teams grew into seven differ- ent sports. These included track, bas- ketball, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics, cross country and golf. Even though CLHS was small, it was always competitive and surpris- ingly athletic considering its size. Our boys ' and girls ' teams have consistent- ly been in the middle of the list for the All -Sports trophy, said Guenther Herzog. Since we ' re one of the city ' s smallest schools, that speaks well of the school. Highlights of CLHS ' 50 years in- cluded: — sectional basketball championships in 1963 and 1981. — being the first parochial school to be ranked in the state ' s top ten (1948). — Steve Hibler, in 1958, placed first in the state in the mile run. — cross country sectional champion- ship in 1957. — Art Scherer was awarded the State Mental Attitude award in tennis (1973). — the golf team won city champion- ships in 1966 and 1971, and NEIAC championships in 1966 and 1974. — In 1976 girls ' volleyball was second in the state. — in 1969 the baseball team advanced to the final four in the state. — in 1983 the girls ' cross country team won the state title. — Laura Abdon History Feature 8 3 While freshma handed oncentrating o John- Eric Buet forehand.

Walt, The Boys ' Tennis Team tasted a bitter end to a sweet beginning when, after defeating Bishop Luers in regular season play by a score of four to one, they lost to the same team two matches to three in semi-finals of Sectional competition. We had a good record, but we lost the big matches, number two singles player John -Eric Buetow said. I remembered this season most for our hard work in attempting to attain a perfect record, but losing the big match, said sophomore Kurt Schmidt. The team lost to Norwell and SAC Champs Snider in regular season. However, they won the Concord Invitational. It was the high point of the season for me, said Mark McCrory, a reserve player. A definite high point was our win over Luers in regular season, commented senior doubles player Dirk Vonderlage. It put Raghu Bathina and I in contention for All-SAC team. According to coach Don Reinking, part of the credit for the team ' s sccess had to be given to the fact that everyone got along well. Com- petition was there, Reinking said, but it was always kept friendly. Everyone pulled together and gave the entire team all their support, said junior Craig Mueller. We ' re all friends in and out of tennis, com- mented senior Peter Thomas. Another plus for the team was the fact that many of its members played all year round. I play at least three times a week and am in many tournaments all year, said Schmidt. I only played once a week during the sum- mer, but right before the season started, I played a lot more, said sophomore doubles player Jerry Reinking. It ' s important to play year around because you ' re not going to get good during our short season, coach Reinking said. The number of spectators at this year ' s matches was usually high, not only with the parents of the players, but also with students. Voicing the most popular opinion among the team members, Buetow said, The number of people there watching gave me a little more motivation. When a lot of people were there watching us, it really lifted everyone ' s spirits, said senior Mark Witmer. — Heidi Bieberich 84 Boys ' Tennis In the midst of the match against Bishop Luers. the numbet one singles player, sophomore Brian Doster follows through after a serve.

I set high goals for myself to be one of the top five runners and God showed me I could even surpass those goals if I believed in myself. 99 — Sue Wade After making the transi- tion from volleyball to cross country her junior year, Sue Wade went on to earn a let- ter both years and was co- captain in 1984.

Through the pounding summer heat, to the cool, and even wet fall days, these dedicated runners strove to be the best team they could be. Even though they didn ' t make it as far as they had hoped, they ended the season with a re- spectable record of 11-2. Coach Craig Hoffman said, It ' s been one of the better seasons we ' ve had. Competition was tough. We finished high, but still didn ' t make it to Regionals. This year a change was made. The course was lengthened to 4,000 meters. Junior Kelly Beck, who was the number one runner, set the record for the course with a time of 15:37 at the Adams Centtal Invitational. A lot goes into having a good team. It takes dedication and good runners, commented Hoffman. The hardest part was to sell them on what you ' re trying to accomplish. You have to get across the point that cross country is worth all the time and effort that go into it. Most people seemed to agree that it really was worth it. Freshman Heidi Stennfeld wasn ' t one of the top runners, but she never seemed to give up. I wanted to stay in shape and meet new people. Everyone was so supportive, and I got a great sense of accomplishment after fin- ishing a race, she said. It ' s good, because it ' s up to you to push yourself to practice so you can do well in meets, stated senior co-captain Tammy Brandt. Yet in a meet, it takes the whole team to win, and I felt we worked real well as a team. I ' ve gained so much from it. I learned to push myself to work hard at achieving my goals, said senior co-captain Susan Wade. In the end, it feels so good to know how much is accomplished. It ' s rewarding, because you have to work hard. So when you do well, you know how much it ' s paid off, commented Beck. For the most part, there seemed to be one thing that made the team different from most schools. We always had a team prayer before a meet, said Hoffman. There ' s a Christian attitude here, stated Brandt. We do it fot God ' s glory. — Mario Odier Sweating it out as they anxiously wait for the final tesults of the sectional meet at Shoaff Park, the team watches attentively as Coach Hoffman begins to total up the team scores Girls ' Cross Country 87 Nearing ihe half-way mark of the race, juniors Mark Sheets and Paul Lagemann begin to pick up their pace to help ensure a victory over Woodlan.

They defeated tl Determination, drive, and dedication, the three D ' s of running. These were the words used in describing the attitude of the 1984 Boys ' Cross Country Team. Because of this attitude, the team improved its record to eleven wins and only three losses. The whole team had a great attitude. Everyone did their best, said senior captain David Smith. Although the season had its ups and downs, there seemed to be more ups than downs. They made a strong showing in all of their meets. They defeated North Side, Elmhurst, and Wayne, teams that had previously beaten them. Another high point and the most notable from the team ' s viewpoint was their achieve- ment at the SAC meet. We finished third out of eleven teams. It was one of the highest fin- ished ever for our boys ' cross country team, and a wonderful display of our ability, stated coach Ctaig Hoffman. One of the reasons for the team ' s improve- ment was leadership. The team had a strong captain, David Smith, and other experienced runners. Dave was a great captain. He had a positive attitude and always initiated a team prayer before our meets, said senior John Ba- kalar. According to Smith, another cause of the improvement was Coach Hoffman. Coach Hoffman was a good motivator. He gave us an incentive to do our best, commented Smith. An additional D could be added to the previous list — disappointment. The team was not without disappointments. The most dis- heartening of these was Sectionals. Despite the high expectations for the team, they finished seventh out of eleven competing teams. We didn ' t do as well as we had hoped to do. Every- one expected us to go on to Regionals. It wasn ' t that we ran really bad; everyone else just ran better, explained junior Troy Panning. The team didn ' t finish unrewarded, however. David Smith was named to the All -SAC team for the second year in a row. Smith also received the captain and most valuable runner of the year awards. Troy Panning was given the most im- proved runner award. I was surprised when my name was called. I hadn ' t expected it. I was really honored, commented Panning. — Susie Lytal 88 Boys ' Cross Country Smith establishes a strong, steady pace in otder to achieve that goal. Smith succeeded and set his tecotd with a time of 16:57. An entourage of Cadet runnets lead the pack in a home meet against Bellmont. The team scoted a victory, defeating them 15 to 45. Cross Country was a sport that you had to stick to. It was an event that was all your own. No one else was there to rely on when you made a mistake. So you basically had to do everything by yourself. Al- though the team ultimate- ly worked as a whole, cross country was an indi- vidual sport. That ' s what I like about it. — Dave Smith Dave Smith had been a member of the boys ' cross country team for four years. During the 1984 season, he was captain and given the cap- tain award. He also received the most valuable runner award and was named to the All -SAC team for the second year in a row. Boys ' Cross Country 89 The team ' s inconsis- tent play throughout the season was shown by the fact that we were the only team in the SAC to beat Harding. We were also beaten by Northrop in the first round of section- als, who we had previous- ly beaten during the sea- son. The team ' s strengths consisted of excellent spiking, blocking, and good overall net play. During the season, good team spirit and attitude helped pull us through the tough game situa- tions. — Stephanie Pflughaupt Junior Stephanie Pflughaupt, who was named to the All -SAC team, led the Cadets in several categories.

On the contrary, these are nicknames of three members of the varsity volleyball team. These players, along with the rest of the team, strived for a first place finish in SAC competition, and a good showing in sectionals. Although they finished third in the confer- ence, they gave SAC champion Harding their only defeat. It was disappointing that we were the only team that beat Harding, and they won SAC, said varsity coach Bob Michael. We played consistently and placed our serves to get Har- ding out of their defense, he said. Individual players pushed towards their own personal marks as well. I wanted to play well overall, but I especially wanted to make good sets, said junior Laura Heilman. I worked towards making the All -SAC team, said junior Cherise Dixie. Defense and balance were the key strengths of the volleyball squad. But both of these came from good team unity. One way to create team cooperativeness was to have good leaders. Seniors Cami Piekarski and Kris Springer filled the leadership role very well, said Mi- chael. Stephanie Phlughaupt, who made All- SAC and Cherise Dixie, who made second team AU-SAC, also provided leadership, he said. Team spirit was no problem. They had no trouble getting psyched up for a match, said Michael. Against Bishop Dwenger, I thought we were too excited, he said. Junior Shelly Edwards helped their team spirit during the National Anthem against Bishop Dwenger. As the crowd turned to face the flag by the stage, Edwards noticed that the flag was being covered by the curtain. Hurriedly, she ran and pulled the curtain away, but as she heard the spectators and team members laugh, she looked up and saw there was no flag. We were all nervous before the game, but when Shelly opened the curtain, we laughed and forgot our nervousness, said Heilman. — Tim Klage While junior Stepha kill, Carroll defenders ■ Pflughaupt follows Through ich for the block.

They grew together as teammates and learned to play as a team. The high points of the Freshman season were few. Despite our losing record, we were espe- cially glad when we won our first match, said Coach Vicki Wright. Freshman Michelle Dorothy felt that the sea- son could have been better, but she said, The team grew together as a family. We had six wins and we were proud of the season. In our regular season play. Northrop beat us but in the NorthSide tournament we beat them which picked up our team spirit a lot, freshman Jill Sheets said. They showed that they had good potential by having three very close games. Many of the games we lost were very close. The team had great spiritual closeness and we grew together as a family, commented Sheets. The reserve team had a few low points also but they did mature as a team. Coach Bob Michael said, Our biggest problem was that we did not have a winning season but we did have a few good matches. In a match against Dwenger, the young Cadet team was beaten in their first game but the last two games they won which gave them a victory. I felt that the team grew together because each person had to learn how the other people played, said sophomore Beth Hollman. I felt the team ' s biggest improvement was the fact that we learned to play as a team. Sophomore Angela Hazelett said, The beginning of the season the team did not work together, but at the end of the season we were playing as a team. Near the end of the season Hazelett improved enough to be put on the varsity.

Just look at what you ' re doing and con- tinue to play the game. — Beth Hollman Sophomore Beth Hollman got started in volleyball in the sixth grade when she saw a sign up sheet for those who wanted to start vol- leyball. She told her mom, who told her to try it. She did, and ever since then she has enjoyed it. She said that it was easy for her to get used to it, and she caught on quickly. One thing she has learned is that before a match rather than praying for them to win, she prays that no one will get hurt. She also learned that winning isn ' t every- thing.

I be- lieve that it takes a certain craziness to play. 9 9 — Jeff Sassmannshausen Senior Jeff Sassmannshausen played football for the Cadets for four years. In his final year, he was one of the offensive co-captains. He also made Honorable Mention on the AU-SAC team. Jeff not only- succeeded athletically, but also scholastically. After playing an outstanding game against Wood- tan, he was named the WANE-TV student athlete of the week. This award was given to students who excelled in both athletics and aca- demics. As part of the honor, Jeff was given a medal and featured in a short commercial on Channel 15 congratulating him on his achieve- ments. 94 Varsity Football Receiving the ball after Dwenger ' s kickoff, senior Dari- us Maxwell prepares to run the ball as far towards the Cadet end zone as possible.

Quality Hidden In Record Team Shows Winning Form Football is . . . hot, sweaty bodies, grueling workouts, and Dainful injuries. However, it is also a valuable learning experience. Players must learn to deal with winning and losing gracefully. Although the Cadets had a rough season, many felt they displayed real sportsmanship and winning form. According to Head Coach Dick Wert, the team had a great attitude and didn ' t give up. They didn ' t dwell on their mistakes, but instead learned from them. A reflection of that attitude, senior co-cap- tain James Gunn said, I would rather play a great game and lose than play poorly and win. Our record didn ' t reflect the quality of our players, which was probably the best I have ever seen on a Concordia team, ' ' commented junior David LeBeau. Senior co- captain Jeff Sassmannshausen said, We had a potentially good team but we made big mistakes at the wrong times in almost every game. Even though mistakes were made, the team played many very close games. One of these was the Homecoming game against Woodlan in which we were victorious. One suggestion for improvement came from senior Steve Wagner. We should have had people playing both ways; they should have played both offense and defense so that we would have equal strength on both sides, he said. This opinion was shared by junior quarter- back Lance Hoffman. Although they didn ' t always win, players felt that football was still worth every minute. Football has taught me discipline, and how to cope with not always winning, commented senior co-captain Darius Maxwell. I experienced an emotional high before and during the games, said LeBeau, I also learned discipline, patience, and how to be a leader. Football helped me gain self-confidence and respect. I also made a lot of good friends, said Hoffman. The SAC awards proved the fact that there was great potential on the team. Seniors Darius Maxwell and Steve Wagner made the All -SAC team. Making honorable mention on the team were seniors Kyle Calloway, John Feldkamp, Jeff Lewis. Jeff Sassmannshausen, James Gunn, James Behny, Andrew Knudten, Chris Woods and junior David LeBeau. Coach Wert said, We had the best bunch of captains leading the team I can ever remember. — Anne Nobis v igt 0 L l W n F BV h£ ; M ■ It- 4 r f ' 1 r Fixpla into positio the Cadets, ju n for junior E Varsity Football 95 seconds of the game against Homestead the end of the fitst half. 1984 Freshman Football Team: FRONT ROW: J.

Winning Attitude Prevails Low Scores But High Spirits During the second Geoff Zink looks to quartet of the Northrop game, player the sidelines after an interception. In spite of a difficult season, the 1984 frosh and reserve football teams maintained winning attitudes. With a season record of 2-5, the reserve team highlighted their season in winning games against Woodlan and Heritage. Their scoring drive was led by the running ot Mike Kanning and Bob Bortz ' s line play. Defense was led by the outstanding tackles of Rob Bradtmilier and John Westra. The freshman football team ' s primary goal was to learn the game and work on developing skills, a goal which they achieved. Although their season record was 0-7, both coach Jon Anderson and the players considered it a win- ning season. Scoring was a disappointment, remarked coach Anderson, but we didn ' t have a lot of penalties and we worked as a team. We also had a larger turnout than we ' ve had in 18-20 years. Freshman player Steve Winkelman said, I considered it a winning season. I met a lot of new friends. Reserve players also thought of ' 84 as a win- ning season. Sophomore Jeff Peterson said, We really grew spiritually as a team and the team grew as a family. It was a winning experience, sophomore Bob Bortz added, especially since the coaches spent a lot of their own extra time working with us. It was the kind of situation where if we didn ' t do our best, then it was our own fault because they ' d spent so much time with us. I thought the coaches did really great this sea- son. Practical jokes were a small part of the sea- son as well. The reserve players, knowing that Mr. Sassmannshausen collected the pop cans left on the locker room floor, tied an unseen string to one of the cans, and hid behind the lockers. When he bent to pick up the can, they pulled the string. Spraying women ' s perfume in their teammates ' uniforms was also a popular trick. But throughout the season, a positive attitude kept the freshman and reserve players trying their very best. The best part, said Peterson, was that feeling that everyone you were out there on the field with were your friends, people you could trust. And we learned especially that winning isn ' t everything. — Rachel Peterson 96 Freshman Reserve Football The best part about being a coach is the kids . . . and being ' one of the guys. ' — Mr. Jon An- derson After arriving at CLHS just out of college, Mr. Jon Anderson be- gan coaching. He has worked with the football and baseball teams for the past 22 years. He enjoys the fine strategies of football and the techniques of baseball. Yet, most of all, he enjoys working with the players themselves. Freshman Reserve 97 Football 4t Carol ' s determination to win and her efforts to reach her goal were what made her a winner. She had a lot of drive, and that sparked the rest of the team and showed them what they could accomplish if they tried. — Vicki Wright With only her second year of competition here at Concordia, sophomore Carol Wade has al- ready proved to be one of the most valuable gymnasts to hit the school in years. She has already set a num- ber of school records, including scores of 9-2 and 9-45 on both the team and the bars, respectively. Due to an unfortunate illness, Carol Wade was forced to drop out of competi- tion before season ' s end and was unable to compete in sectionals. Trying to maintain a level of concentration and also striving to keep her legs as straight as possible, sophomore Becky Carter does the Yami Vault. A score of 9.0 is possible if this move is completed properly. It may look easy to do, but the Needle Scale is very tricky and demanding to perform properly. Junior Dawn Parr tries to complete this move fot a possible supetior rating. 98 Gymnastics With a careful eye and a delicate balance, senior Sheryl Scheff incorporates a difficult dance step into her beam le. Performing before watchful judges she attempts to gain more points for CLHS. To make the grade and high score on the floor exercise takes muscle control and determination, which sophomore Carol Wade displays during a meet as she strikes a pose for the judges. Breaking Records Right And Left Real Accomplishments! Emotions ran high, spirit flowed in every performance, bodies strained and twisted trying to achieve excellence. Grace and poise had to be conveyed at all times, or all would have been in vain. Such was the daily routine of the gymnasts at Concordia. Thirteen girls, coached by newcomer Miss Vicki Wright, launched on to the sports scene this season by setting records left and right, showing no sign of stopping. Working hours on end, the team learned routines, practiced them and lifted weights to reach their fullest potentials. People just didn ' t realize the amount of pressure put on the girls, said coach Wright. But one of the strong points that the girls had was that they helped each other through tense and pressure -filled times. The gymnasts ' skills didn ' t come from only work at our school. Many had trained during the summer at various centers. I trained all year round at the Academy of Gymnastics to im- prove my technique and skills, commented sophomore Becky Carter. Other girls also at- tended the Academy. The work and training paid off with the team setting a number of school records. They broke the school record for total meet score with 104.25. They also set records with a total team event score of 26.5 on the vault, and a score of 26.75 in floor exercise. Sophomore Carol Wade helped the team im- mensely with her personal record breaking scores. Her records include breaking the indi- vidual beam score with a 9.2. and also with a score of 9.45 on the bars. The fact that we had set so many school records indicates how well we were perform- ing, said Wright. Those broken records showed also that this team was one of the strongest, if not the strongest team that Con- cordia ever had, said Wright. We had a very strong morale and were very optimistic about everything, said team captain Lisa Gallmeier, We really expected to send a few girls on to State competition. Coach Wright shared the teams ' optimism. I believe that we had a lot to look forward to this season. I think that we finally reached our goal of not only breaking a few records, but also making people aware of the amount of talent and dedication that our girls possessed. — Scott Hille seeing before i : world upsided. chingoffofthe vi rms to propel herself up ; dismount that will hopt fully r just a split sec, lior Holly Seaman . • the vault, and ther nptess the judges. rymnastics 99 Looking for an open player with good court position, senior Susan Wade tries to get the ball away before her five seconds are up.

Girls Triumph In Sectionals Frustrated Team Wins Avoiding the outreach of a Northrop pla mote Shelly Bobay feeds a chest-pass to a Cat for bettet position on a |ump-shot opho- Blowout was the word to describe how the varsity girls basketball team defeated Black - hawk Christian, their first opponert in Section- als. In scoring the most points ever this season, the girls won 67-40 and went on to face Bishop Dwenger, but were defeated by the eventual Sectional Champions. I ' m glad we faced Blackhawk Christian be- cause it gave us the opportunity to have a better outlook on ourselves as a team, said junior forward Deanna Davis. Due to the loss of junior guard Laura Heil- man to a knee injury, the team had to look to juniors Stephanie Pflughaupt and Kim Winkel- man for leadership and support. Stephanie was the most improved because she turned out to be the second leading re- bounder in the city, and our team ' s leading scorer, said Mr. Don Reinking, head coach. Shooting accuracy was the team ' s biggest problem. The shots just did not fall as the girls ended with a last place finish in SAC competi- tion. I felt we really needed to work on our shooting skills, said Reinking. If the girls work on their skills during the off-season, I feel we will be much improved by next season, he said. The team strived for success, but they had other goals as well. According to Reinking, the main purpose of the season was to get each individual player to improve. One way to do that was to have as many players active in the game as possible. I felt everyone worked hard to improve, but I don ' t think they reached their potential, said Reinking. You can ' t be satisfied with a record that says 2-13. I wanted to keep the team fired up, and I felt I was able to at end of the season when we played Blackhawk Christian, said Susan Wade, who was the only senior on the team. This was my last sports team at Concordia and I wanted to work hard and do my best, she said. Overall, the season was disappointing for Reinking and team members, but Reinking was happy with one aspect. I would like to compliment the girls. Al- though they had a poor record, they didn ' t turn sour and they kept a positive attitude. It showed character on their part, he said. — Tim Klage 100 Varsity Girls Basketball After a bad pass by an opponent, sophomote Angi Hazelett steals the ball and reaches out to save it ftorr going out of bounds. Shooting the first shot of a two-shot foul, junioi Stephanie Pflughaupt sinks it as players wait on the line for the next shot. During our season, I tried to drive more to the basket on offense, and on defense I tried to block the shots of the oppo- nent. — Kris Scheele Kris Scheele, along with An- gle Hazelett, Shelly Bobay, Cari Capps, Kelly Rhodes, and Mar- lena Meyer were all sophomores on the young varsity basketball team. Having valuable varsity playing experience as a fresh- man, Scheele was looked to for leadership. Varsity Girls Basketball 101 The team kept a pret- ty good attitude al- though near the end of it was hard. We were losing, and it was getting discour- aging. But we kept trying, and I just wanted to do my best that I could, I ' d be satisfied, knowing that that was my best ef- fort. — Angie Hazelett Hazelett proved to be one of the biggest assets to the reserve team. Besides being the second highest scorer, she also tied for having the most offensive rebounds and was among the top three defensive re- bounders.

Only two points separated the Redskins from the Cadets, and NorthSide struggled to tie the game. A time out was called, giving a break for the exhausted, but determined Concordia team. Strategies were examined for one last time, and soon after the athletes caught their breath, the buzzer signaled a return to play. Only a minute remained as the cheerblock rose to their feet, sending the team out for a final confrontation. A NorthSide player put the ball up for a field goal to tie the ball game, but sophomore Kelly Rhodes retaliated with the final blow of two points, giving the reserve girls ' basketball team a victory in their last game, 31-29. Although this win was the only one that the lady Cadets experienced, it was one which made the whole season worthwhile for the struggling team. We just kept trying, and didn ' t get dis- couraged, commented sophomore Carin Capps. It was hard to keep a positive attitude, but we stuck it out, and won at the end. I thought that the attitude of the team was great, Miss Lisa Schroer, reserve coach said. They wouldn ' t get discouraged when they lost. They wanted another opportunity to try again. That ' s a wonderful attitude to have. Another team which prided itself on having a good team spirit was the freshman girls ' basket- ball team. They ended with a winning season of 9 wins, 2 losses. Everyone had a good attitude for everything we did, stated freshman Kate Macke. We believed in our coach, and everyone got along and had confidence in the team. Another reason for the success was the strong defense enacted by the team. This in- cluded zone defense which, as explained by freshman Veda Towles, proved to be a great help. Zone defense helped out a lot since we didn ' t have good shooting, she said. It also had the team help each other out if someone got in trouble. You weren ' t out there by your- self. But, even though both of these teams exper- ienced exciting seasons, they were disappointed with the attendance of the student body. We needed a lot more backing from the student body than we received, someone to cheer us on, stated Macke. We needed more people to go to the game, stated junior Shawn Fowler, a big supporter of girls ' basketball. I guess that they didn ' t realize how much fun they missed. — Chip Evanson Concentrating on her form, sophomore Sharita Hill works for another free throw. Hill also perfotmed well with rebounding the ball, having the second highest rebounds for offense, and ued for highest in defense.

Together they took their game to gyms where they faced tough opponents and won more games in a season than in the past three. The face -lift that the gym recieved could have been a factor in boys varsity basketball play. New bleachers replaced the old, rickety ones. The gym floor was stripped and repainted with bold maroon letters. The ' new ' gym gave the kids pride, and a want to rise to higher things, said Coach Glenn Parrish. The height of the team could have made the difference. With three players exceeding six foot, four inches, rebounds became reality. We could better contain our men, so our defense was more effective, said junior Rickey Jordan. Revival of crowd involvement gave the play- ers a reason to win. We could really tell the crowd was behind us. When we got down, they gave us an extra lift, said senior John Reincke. Fans experimented with different cheers. Cheer- leaders and band members introduced new chants and the ' wave ' got a new twist as it traveled up and down, instead of side to side. The single factor that probably had the greatest influence on the record was the strong bond of friendship among team members. United under the common goal of defeating their opponents, team members used coopera- tion and determination to attain a good season. We really played as a team. We would rather have won that had a good game individually, said senior Paul Schult. The varsity basketball team had much exper- ience playing together as many of them had for more than four years. We knew how each other played. Dana, Vernon, and I had been playing together for ten years, said Dave Wal- ters. No one was selfish. We encouraged one another. Beating Carroll was a highlight of the sea- son because they were undefeated, said Reincke. We really wanted a win against NorthSide, said Jordan. It was a special anniversary game and coaches from the past were there to watch. We wanted to make a good impression. It felt good to have won that one. No team was without a weakness as Parrish pointed out, Sometimes they lacked agressive- ness and quickness, but they were good kids, and had a good time on the court. They were buddies. — Julie Klausmeier 104 Boys ' Varsity Basketball against the undefeated Carroll team, |uniot Rickey Jot- dan performs a revetse lavup.

With his fine defensive play and an 85 percentage in freethrows, he helped lead the team to a 9-10 season. Walters averaged about 15 points per game.

Whether practicing or during games, the reserve team was encouraged to push them- selves. The goal of the season was not only to win, but also to hustle all the time, stated guard Mark McCrory. Strong action on the court gave the reserve team a winning season. Performing well brought satisfaction. The team performed to their ability but steadily, there was always toom for improvement, stated Massucci. The hard practices paid off with confident wins, stated Massucci. The best win was against Snider because we had the lead and lost it but regained it again, stated reserve player Troy Panning. Reserve team play remained man -on -man defense but for some of the freshmen team members, man-on-man play was new. There was more running and fastbreaks. You had to keep your eyes on the ball, stated freshman Brad Schroeder. I hadn ' t played too much man-on-man defense. The freshman team started out on a losing streak which brought heavy disappointment. Losing one game right after another shattered team member ' s confidence, stated freshman coach Wayne Panning. The freshman team ' s first win came over NorthSide. The win helped bring confidence back to team members. But along with the glory of a game came the problems of home- work, practices, and long dedicated hours. Sometimes games and practices got in the way of homework. We had late practices or games on school nights; it made it tough to do home- work and to be with friends, stated freshman Jeff Reese. Reserve members didn ' t find anything stood in the way of basketball. Since our games were on weekends and practices were right after school, I had no problem working things in, stated Troy Panning, reserve team member.

He won the title, but because he didn ' t meet eligibility requirements, it was taken Unusual Controversy Arises Brain Rules Mind Body vie furn ins Tangled legs, pulled hair, twisted arms, and sore muscles. What are these characertistics of? Wrestling! Wrestling was a sport that required dedication, physical strength, and above all, mental strength. The hatdest thing of all for the wrestlers was stepping out on that mat along with their oppo- nent, not knowing what would happen, said head coach Edward LeBeau. Besides good physical strength and stamina, you needed the determination and will to strive toward victory, said junior Lance Hoffman, and above all, the heart to give more than your body wanted to give during practice and com- petition. Wrestling took a lot of guts, said senior Steve Wagner. If you lost, you had to be able to bounce back and believe in yourself again so you could learn from your mistakes and be- come a better wrestler. You need physical ability, mental tough- ness, and a lot of craziness, commented junior David LeBeau. You couldn ' t be concerned with how you looked or the pain you were experiencing, only with winning. Coach LeBeau said, I felt wrestling was both a team sport and an individual sport. Each of the wrestlers competed on his own, yet the outcome of his individual match affected the whole team score. Junior Brian Wagner said, Wrestling was an individual sport to me; however, the whole team had to work together in practice and we all had to try out best. Wrestling was different from other sports because it was reward in itself. Wrestlers and coaches were closer as Christians than in any other sport, said LeBeau. An unusual controversy arose that had never happened before. The Carroll Regional was de- layed due to a misinterpretation of eligibility rules. Senior Scot Kern had his Sectional title taken from him only five days after he won it because he was only taking three credit hours second semester. Kern was under the impres- sion that he needed four credits only during the regular wrestling season and he thought the sectionals and regionals didn ' t count. Superior Court Judge Robert Meyers ruled against Kern and banned him from wrestling in the regionals. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I only want- ed to wrestle, said Kern. — Anne Nobis 108 Varsity Wrestling Struggling to gain the advantage over his nent, sophomore Fddie LeBeau attempts to ma him His efforts were rewarded as he pinned h. oppo m and helped the Cadets rise to victory.

In oth- er sports, you can count on your team to pick up the slack when a mistake is made, but in wrestling, you are accountable only to yourself. — Lance Hoffman ' Involved ' was a good word to describe junior Lance Hoffman. Lance was on the football team for three years, and was the starting quarterback in the ' 84 season. He was also on the wrestling team for three years and had gone as far as Regionals. Track was also a sport in which Lance participated for three years. Lance was also very active outside of sports. He was on the Homecoming Court, was a member of Student Council, the Spanish Club, and FCA. Lance was also the president of St. Peter ' s youth group.

He knew he was losing more matches than he was winning, and there were times he thought about quit- ting, but he didn ' t. 5 5 — Mr. Ed LeBeau Before freshman Cabel Antibus came to CLHS, he had never par- ticipated in a wrestling program. He was encouraged to come out for the team in the 98 lb. weight class by coach Ed LeBeau. In spite of a shaky start, his courage and will earned him a var- sity letter. And although many of his opponents were aware of his past losses, he never gave up and let that get him down.

WSBBaaumumrmi ' The sounds grew louder as the two wrestlers thrashed back and forth in a confused and twisted heap on the mat. The referee threw himself down on his hands and knees, scampering quickly around the wres- tlers. Fans predicted the excitement that was about to happen with screams so loud they echoed through the gym. The towel boy fol- lowed at the ref s heels, his eyes never leaving th e clock. 18 seconds left. The parents of the Concordia wrestler went wild. It was his first time out. Suddenly, the smack of a body hitting the mat resounded, and a distant space could finally be seen between the two wrestlers. One was immobile, his arms and legs pinned by the oth- er. The ref beat his palm on the mat ... 1 ... 2 . . . the buzzer rang. The parents of the Con- cordia wrestler beamed with pride and excite- ment. Their son had won. This was the scene at reserve wrestling tour- naments throughout the season. Coach Ed Le- Beau described the reserve team as a good, scrappy bunch of kids, fighters. Freshman wrestler Tim Zwick said, Being a freshmen it was hard, but everybody got along, and the other wrestlers encouraged us. The highlights of the season were the tourna- ments, when their skills were tested against oth- er wrestlers in their own weight class. It was also neat to see people you work with advance to Regionals, added Zwick. The Cadet pin-pals formed for the first time as a group who supported the wrestlers. The 15 girls were in charge of laying out mats before every meet, helped run the tournaments CLHS hosted, kept data on players, recorded scores, made announcements, and put together a scrap- book on each varsity player. I joined the pin-pals to become more in- volved, and to learn more about wrestling. sophomore Tracee Douglas said. The pin-pals tried to inspire enthusiasm by decorating the wrestlers ' lockers before a tour- nament, and encouraged other students to at- tend matches, said Jodi Fielser. The pin -pals began from an idea that Tina Marks offered to Mr. LeBeau at the beginning of the season. I worked with a similar group at New Haven during my freshman year. It was like being an individual manager to each wres- tler that we were assigned to. — Rachel Peterson The 1984-85 I reshman Wrestlers: S. W. nke mann D. Lepper, E. Durn ell, T.

The older a person got, the more reliable and responsible they became, said junior Greg Widenhofer. When you and your friends grew in the same ways, it made you feel a little more secure, knowing you weren ' t alone. As people matured, they also learned how to become better friends. I learned that you couldn ' t expect people to be your friends unless you treated them well, stated sophomore Karen Bryant. I also learned I needed God in the center of my friendships, or they weren ' t worth it. A close friend and I had a dis- agreement. I was left by myself, which gave me the opportunity to meet new people, explained senior Kristie Bruick. I found that you needed more than one friend in life. Other - wide, you lost the opportunity to share your faith with those who might not be so strong, she added. Friendships were often strength- ened through help with personal problems. Whenever I was in trouble at home, my friends tried to take my mind off things and help me learn from their similar mistakes, said Wi- denhofer. When my father died, the enor- mous support and caring my friends gave me showed me how much they loved me and that obstacles strength- ened relationships with my friends, said Bryant. — Laura Abdon Flipping through the pages of a brochure, |uniors Steve Shank and Bob Dettmer learn more about prospective colleges.

Faculty Too Much Time On Their Hands M 11 extracurricular activities took up time, jJL spare time that could have been used on y w other things, such as hobbies. But many teachers took time out of their own after- school schedules to help in sports, choir, band and other things. Those teachers who gave up their time missed out on some family activities. I mainly missed seeing my kids, said band director Mr. Paul Wills. Because of jazz band and the like, I had to stay after school a lot, and by the time I got home, the kids were already in bed. It got to the point that my wife waited for dinner until I got home, said algebra teacher Mr. Don Reinking, who also coached boys ' tennis and girls ' basketball. I didn ' t have time with my family; I missed that more than any- thing. About everything we did was for Con- cordia and not the Reinkings, he said. Even with so much time being spent outside the home, most busy teachers either didn ' t mind giving up their time or they coped with it. I did so much that I got frustrated sometimes, said Taking the stage to herself on Concordia Day, Miss Dianne Shrubsall gets set to present the setting and charac- ters for a scene from the Fall production, The Man Who Came To Dinner, to the visiting eighth graders. Miss Lisa Schroer, who advised FCA. But God always sent something along that picked me up. FCA gave me a chance to share Christ. If I was feeling down it really picked me up to see the girls alive in Christ. I don ' t think that the kids here realized their full potential, Mr. Tim Kinne, the choral di- rector commented. It was my job to bring them to a level that was challenging. My job was to teach them punctuality, discipline and responsibility, not necessarily music. But even though I did a lot with the choirs after school, I would not allow my job to interfere with my family. My family came first. Even so, I believe that I should still spend more time studying scores, and selecting music. The main reason for teachers staying after school was students. I gave up my time be- cause I enjoyed watching sports, said athletic director Mr. Ed Brackman. I believe that they were a way of life. It was a preparation for life. I believe that I had a special blessing here, be- cause I got to know the students better because of my involvement in sports. I gave up my time because I enjoyed being with young people, stated Reinking. — Scott Hille Mr. Jon Anderson, M.S. Science, Mathematics, Asst.

Gieschen often incorporated discussions of religion into his English 9 class. New Faces Brighten Old Places ■ ¥ -ho ' s THAT walking down the hall- I M way? It could have been any one of WW seven new teachers at CLHS. One new teacher wasn ' t really so new to teaching. Mr. Al Hennig has been teaching for 40 years and recently retired as principal and teacher at Zion. He taught Old Testament to freshmen here. Hennig and his wife had been involved in missionary work in India, along with educating missionaries ' children who lived at the school for nine months a year. There were no distrac- tions for the students; therefore they were very intense, Hennig said. Mrs. Pauline Olson was the new typing, shorthand and notetaking teacher. Her husband enrolled in the Seminary so the job at CLHS was quite convenient. Along with three children and two grand- children, she has three foster sons and three foster grandchildren. Olson and her husband obtained their first foster child seven years ago Giving his freshmen religion class a lecture on the Old Testament, Mr. Al Hennig stresses the importance of God in their lives. because they wanted to help young people. Mr. Mark Sell was another new face. He taught Comparative Religion, Contemporary Problems and Freshman Religion between his own classes at the Seminary. I love to teach high school kids. They need Christ ' s guidance. They need to realize their need for Christ and to stress the importance of the meaning of the Gospel, that comfort, joy and eternal life is a free gift, Sell said. Pastor Dennis Borchers was the new chaplain as well as teacher of New Testament, Old Tes- tament, and Doctrine. He was formerly pastor at First Lutheran Church in Missouri Valley, Iowa for 15 years and thought teaching high school would be a challenging call. Miss Vicki Wright originally from Moores- ville, Indiana, had taught one year of physical education. She taught speech and physical edu- cation and she also coached the gymnastics team. In the math department Mrs. Carol Schmidt taught Algebra I two periods a day. She accept- ed the opening at CLHS because she enjoys teaching and she enjoys helping people learn about math. Mrs. Barbara Petroff taught both second and third year Spanish. Spanish was not new to her after majoring in Spanish and English in college and spending six weeks in Mexico after college. — Katie Wasson Faculty -Staff 123 Unusual Duties Plague Custodians y trange was the word at Concordia for fc the custodians. Not just in the yearbook r pictures, but the jobs and happenings that our loyal custodians came across in their quest for cleanliness. One of those jobs was the bi-annual cleaning of the boilers. I ' m the one that usually got stuck doing it, said night jani- tor Mr. Steve Faylor. I ' m the only one thin enough to get in there. The job is pretty dirty also, commented night janitor Mr. Larry Laisure. You crawl inside the boilers and sweep them out. It can get really dirty, so you wear old clothes. Other sttange jobs included sweeping the roof, and washing the ceiling of the gym. There have also been a few unusual mishaps with the custodians. Dalman had to fill up the tank of a rented band truck with gas, It didn ' t fit under Friendship Hall. It crashed into the overhanging walkway and left a dent in the hall and the top of the truck. Mr. Fred Alban, morning custodian, remem- bered a problem also. There were some empty fifty -five gallon drums that used to have wax in them, and gas was put in them for drivers train- ing to use, he said. But there was a little wax left over in the bottoms accidently, and when we filled our tractor with gas, the engine sort of didn ' t work. — Scott Hille Evening custodians Larry Dalman and Steve Faylor steal some time from their full, busy schedule of cleaning the school after everyone else has left for home to do a little clowning around. Dalton Growden and Fred Alban, who work as morning custodians, carry a large portion of the work load here at Concordia with cleaning the auditorium after the students leave, and other jobs around the building. ndskeepers Don Stein, Larry Dahlman, and Imer Braun analyze the features of new lawn equipment the hope that Mr. Parrish will bid on it at the auction. 124 Faculty Mr. John Marks, MA.

Faculty 125 I ' m very excited about doing things I just don ' t have time for now. — Mr. Don Luepke After accepting Chris Newby ' s excuse for being ab- sent, Mr. John Marks fills out a blue slip so she can go back Challenges Await Honored Cadet j ' aid tricks, research papers, poems, and group tests are not usually associated y with mathematics, but if you have had Mr. Don Luepke for a teacher you have learned to associate some unconventional things with math. Early in July, it was announced that Luepke was a semi -finalist for the Presidential award for excellence in math and science teaching. Al- though he was not a finalist he felt honored by the nomination. It was very gratifying to be nominated, but I think the most valuable part was writing the application, It made me rethink my philosophy of teaching, Luepke said. Next year CLHS will be minus one math teacher since Luepke will be on sabbatical at IPFW. His main purpose for going is to get involved in research which studies the way people learn. This research will entail visiting industries to discover exactly what skills they want their new employees to have.

I caps and gowns, and an- nouncements were among the many costs seniors faced. Before school was even in session, senior photos were taken and packets ordered. All seniors wanted enough wallet -sized pictures for family and friends, which wasn ' t cheap. Then there were the pictures for grandpar- ents and other relatives. Packets ran from $34 to $175, depending on the quantity desired. Throughout the year, seniors spent time and money completing college applications. If they applied to an in- state school, such as Indiana, each senior sent a non-returnable $20 with their application. An application to an eastern school ran about $35. The end of the year brought the most costly expenditure of all — graduation. Announcements cost fifty cents. Then there was a $25 graduation fee to cover the cost of caps, gowns, and the all important diploma. No senior ' s year was complete without a graduation party. Party costs varied depending on the size and extrava- gance. Some seniors received money from parents to cover these costs but many had to work for it. Everything costs something. You can determine how much you want to spend, said Anne Stalder. You don ' t have to spend anything if you don ' t want to. But then you won ' t have any remembrances of your senior year. — Katie Wasson During his lunch hour, sen shausen stands patiently as 1 his graduation robe and cap Jeff Sassn Timothy Durnell Cheryl Engebrecht Jeffery Evans Chip Evanson William Fairfield John Feldkamp Mara Fick Paul Fields Joel Frame Rebecca Freiburger Lisa Gallmeier David Geller 130 SeniorS Tina Glass Amy Goeglei James Gunn Amy Hamer Teresa Hanson Ronald Harmeyer Lisa Heisler Matthew Helmke Mark Hollman Janeen Houtz Kimberly Huge Michael Hull Jeff Inge Chris Irmscher Trina Jackson Kelly Jamison Attempting to complete his Physics homework dur- ing a study hall, Jeff Sass- mannshausen works dili - gently while Rob Ritz and JeH Stout discuss other as- signments in the IMC.

Most fr w ' seniors worried about their futures, but some were assured further education because of high PSAT scores. These seniors were the PSAT semi- finalists, Michelle Buetow and Matt Helmke, and commended students Fred Baatz, Yvonne Brunow, Dave Kuker, and Kirsten Roberts. They all had a head start on their education. How did they get this award? These students scored extremely high on their PSAT, ranking among the high- est students in the nation. This effort did not, however, come easy; most had been studying for this test for a long time. I attended a lot of the Learning Center workshops of- fered, stated Baatz. I also ran through the practice test. I ' ve always tried to build up my vocabulary, commented Helmke. The math part was simple, though, as math has always come easy to me. Along with the many congratula- tions and distinctions that came with this honor, many found that there were other fringe benefits too. It ' s nice to put it on your college applica- tions, said Roberts. If a college was comparing me to other students for acceptance, this distinction might help influence them. Mr. Carl Gallmeier, counselor, thought that this distinction opened up many opportunities. This type of honor gives these students a much easier chance for getting into the col- lege of their choice, and gives them an edge for financial aid. As a result of this award, this year ' s winners will now find many scholar- ships available to them. Further, they are aware that they are in distin- guished company — the top high school students in the country. This distinction made me aware of the gifts God gave me, and made me much more appreciative of them, stated Baatz. — Chip Evanson PSAT semi-finalists and commended stu- dents include: Front Row: Michelle Buetow, Matt Helmke.

The two went hand in hand for most seniors. One of the most feared events in the life of every senior was writing research papers. I don ' t like them at all! said senior Paul Weiss. You have to go out of your way to do them, and they end up taking too much time t o complete. Most students disliked writing their government papers the most. There was just too much research to do and too many resources involved. said senior Julie Monn. The biggest problem with assigned papers was the due date. Although some students started working two to three weeks before it was due as their teachers recommended, most began Studying hard, senior Dana Martin ui stands the long hours that go into res papers. The library served as a starting poir his work. later. I waited until just a few days before my papers were due to start on them, said senior Margo Mader. Generally I waited for the deadline to come fairly close before I started, said Weiss, but I usually ended up waiting too long, and then I had to rush. The easiest place for most seniors to start their papers was the down- town public library. The first place I went when I got to the library was either the card catalog or the encyclo- pedia rack, stated senior Dianne Schultz. Although seniors found doing re- search papers both challenging and discouraging, they still felt the pro- jects were worth doing. When I think about all the papers I ' ve done, I ' m glad I did them, said senior Mara Fick. I ' m also glad I had to do so many because the experience can only help me later. — Chip Evanson Andrew Knudten Lisa Koehlinger Brent Krocker David Kuker Brent Lahey Scott Lambert Michelle LaRue Wade Ledbetter Jeffrey Lewis Lisa Lewis Seniors 133 A Matter Of Facts rhe Student Handbook said, All male students are required to take ROTC. The Student Handbook of 1984 no longer says this, but just a few years ago, that was a fact of life. Concordia has always been the same, said soph- omore Kris Scheele. But has it? As we look at the fiftieth anniversary of the school, we can see that it hasn ' t always been the same. DID YOU KNOW — From 1906 to 1972 every male student was required to take at least two years of ROTC? It wasn ' t very popular because we were forced to take it, said alumnus Jim Scherer. — Students had to wear khaki shirts and black ties daily? — CLHS started as a business school? — The first year the high school was open tuition was only $60.? — The Lu-Hi Voice and Laminar- Marc Lewis Phil Lytle Margo Mader Amanda Marcom Dana Martin Darius Maxwell Jennifer McMillen Tami McNutt Julie Meyer Tim Miller Julie Monn Regina Moorhead ian were first published in 1952? — Before Initiation Day in the 40 ' s, they had the juxtee?

On August 23, 1984 she said goodbye to her family and friends be- fore beginning a nine month stay in Irumagun, Japan. When two Japanese girls stayed with Amy ' s family last year, it sparked an interest in her to spend a year get- ting her education in Japan. During the second semester of her junior year she began preparing by taking a nine week course of Japanese. Stiebeling attended Holy Hope Lutheran High School.

Being in the- high middle class in Japan means the children get to go to college, they have Western style plumbing and they sleep on beds instead of mats. While in Japan Stiebeling went to school six days a week. Monday through Friday she went until 3:30 and on Saturdays until 12:30. But then from 12:30 to 3:30 she had band prac- tice. She took a few special classes especially for exchange students like Japanese. Even though school didn ' t end until July 20, she came home in time to graduate with the friends she had left behind for a year to learn things most will never have the or portunity to learn. — Heidi Bieberich Dp- Andy Simerman }z{{ Smallwood Michael Smith Rebecca Snyder Brian Sprague Kris Springer Anne Stalder Jill Staley Amy Stiebeling Noelle Stephan Loren Stewart Seniors 137 Jeff Scout Peter Thomas Shawn Thomas Roger Till Amy Uffelman Tamara VanMeter Dirk Vonderlage Susan Wade Steve Wagner Theresa Walker John Wallace David Walters Time Aids Others j or seniors, self-satisfaction T was payment enough for a 9 job. Volunteer work was an important part of many seniors ' schedules. Students in Mr. Art Pin- now ' s psychology and sociology classes were given the choice of doing some sort of volunteer work or writ- ing a paper. Many chose volunteering. The variety of volunteering possi- bilities was wide, as were the benefits. I helped serve food to the mentally handicapped at a nursing home, said Jeff Johnston. I realized that old peo- ple can ' t just be put away in some nursing home. They need friendship and care to keep them going. Shelly Norden used her talents in a unique way. I taught mentally handi- capped how to cheer at their basket- ball games. I loved to see them pro- gress, Norden said. Jennifer Parrott gained valuable ex- perience and had a lot of fun while she acted in A Christmas Carol and The Flying Prince at the Civic Youth Theater. I realized how im- portant organization was. Our prac- tices took an awful long time, said Parrott. Volunteering at a Kindercare or a day care center was a popular choice among seniors. We played with the kids, read them stories and just kept them in line. I learned that I could control small children and still have fun with them, said Chris Irmscher. A senior with plans to be an ele- mentary teacher experimented with her abilities. I worked at a Kinder - care, said Yvonne Brunow. I found that I could get my message across to younger kids. Sports was another way that seniors got involved in volunteering. I helped coach grade school volleyba and basketball. It will help me with future experiences, said Kristie Bruick. Most people do something to get something. I think it ' s neat when people do work without requir- ing anything in return. Benefits come from being a Christian. — Julie Klausmeier Showing her care while fulfilling a psychology requirement, Sarah Owen plays cards with ; mentally handicapped man at the Parnell Park Nursing Center. 138 Seni M crankin ' metal monster, yj. the rock-n-roll blowtorch M w of northern Indiana, Mu- sic to study by.

A harder rock station, 104 FM (WXKE), was revealed as a station that didn ' t play that bubble gum mu- sic. FM 104 plays my kind of music; heavy metal, said Jeff Smallwood. It ' s the station that wants to rock. said Jennifer McMillen. Seniors who enjoyed WEZV or WBNI felt that their music was more sophisticated and not dependent on the current top ten. Many seniors suggested a contem- porary Christian music station. A Christian rock station is a good idea, said Dana Martin.

The problems that bothered teenagers during high school were unique to them because they were experiencing new responsibilities and pres- sures. This time of your life makes or breaks you. It ' s the wrong time to have pressure put upon you, said senior Ken Klaehn. I received pres- sures from myself and from my parents to get good grades and to get into college. There were high standards in my family for grades, because my sisters had good grades and still participated in activities outside of school, said senior Amy Uffelman. Everyone tried to give you too much information for college, and told you to be prepared, but you didn ' t know what to be prepared tor. I felt peer pressure to get good grades be- cause my smart friends said that they never did homework, and I had to study and study and study, said senior Dan Draughon. There were other pressures outside of grades and homework. I worried about how I looked, whether the clothes I wore were okay, because I wondered whether people liked me or not, said Uffelman. I was worried about letting people down, This time of life makes or breaks you. It ' s the wrong time to have pressure put upon you. — Ken Klaehn said senior Matt Helmke.

Careful planning and sticking to a schedule, along with motivation would have eased frustration. For several, a good cry eased the pain. Sometimes avoiding the prob- lem was best. Listening to the radio, calling a friend, going shopping or to a movie were alter- nate escapes. Physical activity was another way to let off steam. Seniot John Reincke stated, I could usually think it out for myself. If that didn ' t work, I went down to the park and dunked ( my basketball). When total frustration set in, senior Tim Durnell said jokingly, I punched holes in walls, lifted weights, or beat up my brother. Sometimes the best solution was to bear with it. Pressure bothered me. Then I figured the only way out was to get things done, com- mented senior Kris Springer.

Although situations may not have seemed as desperate as this, all Cadets experienced some type of pressure. The most prominent type was related to school work, especially at the end of the quarters. I let projects build up. Then they were all due at once. I had those to do plus regular homework, stated senior Amanda Marcom. There was always something better to do, like watch a good movie on T.V., she added. I put too much pressure on myself. I expect- ed too much and then things didn ' t fall into place, said junior Deanna Davis. Sports caused stressful situations for some. Aftet playing well in grade school basketball, I had to live up to my name in high school with tougher competition. I was a nervous wreck before games, confessed freshman Veda Towles. Senior Dave Smith encountered an unusual situation. In the South Side game, the varsity basketball team ran a new offense, where Smith missed a crucial layup.

They look at me as their child and not as a person capable of making intelligent decisions. I have gotten re- bellious when we disagreed. Producing a yearbook also caused headaches and frusttations. Photographers were especially pressured to get photos arranged and taken, film developed, and prints made on time. I hated it when I got some of my photos done and layout people said o.k.

Now with junior status, came the sweet age of sixteen and the op- portunity to work legally. There were many factors to consider in getting a job: parents, friends, or maybe money. The one ritual that all went through to get a job was interviewing. Interviewing was a major part of getting that job, and it could be a nerve -wracking experience. I was nervous because there was a big guy who asked a lot of questions at the interview, said Becky Grim, who works at Charky ' s. The job was pretty much layed out for me, though, because I knew a friend who worked there. Some people weren ' t bothered at all. I went to interview at Atz ' s just for experience, but got the job anyhow, commented Steve Shank. Apart from the usual restaurant jobs, a few juniors worked at more businesslike positions. Mark Mus- selman worked as an office boy at Physician ' s Plaza. I got the job mainly because my father worked there. The pace can get slow sometimes but I usually find some- thing to do, said Musselman, who files papers and forms. The restaurant scene is often more hectic than the office. The work never stops, said Shank. You clean dishes, set tables, scoop ice cream, and when it ' s done, you do it all over again. No matter what the reason for getting a job, almost everyone kept working for one reason — MON- EY. It goes to pay for the gas in my car, said Musselman.

A survey was taken which showed that the average junior did not get enough sleep. Reasons for this dilemma varied. On school - nights homework ranked high in the midnight hours. If you want to know why I only get five hours of sleep on school evenings, ask my teachers! stated Ralph Shorey. The second greatest sleep rob- ber was a late-night show too good to be missed.

Paul Mittermaier summed it up when he said, Weekend means partytime! As there were always exceptions, some juniors actually did get eight or more hours per night on school - nights weekends. Don Nord com- mented that since he was a person who needed eight or more hours per night to stay awake the next day. he usually did get eight hours or more per night. Although juniors didn ' t receive as much sleep as they should have, the majority of them felt that sleep was an important part of good health.

Probably my boyfriend, ex- claimed Lisa Linnemeier. The ma- jority of juniors wanted to take a companion, either a friend or a fa- vorite pet. Their second choice was food such as supplies of McDon- ald ' s, Wendy ' s, or even mom ' s home cooking. Radios, jam boxes and stereos came in third. They also wanted their favorite records and tapes such as Van Halen, Pink Floyd, and Sammy Hagar. There were also the more un- usual things people wanted to take. I might take a bunch of friends.

They had to get used to not being able to see their father much, couldn ' t do quite as much as their friends and often had to move. Being a Seminarian student ' s kid was interesting. I enjoyed see- ing my father preach. Sometimes I went with him to nursing homes, said Rachel Peterson. Tana Goodwill thought the best part of being a Seminarian child was being able to meet different people. I met people with many different backgrounds, she said. A family whose father went to the Sem usually didn ' t have enough money to do things their friends could, said Armand Ly- ons. But most people at Concor- dia were willing to help. Since my father was usually studying, he didn ' t have much time to see me, said Elaine Drees. Drees moved six times while her father was in the Sem. I liked moving because I got to meet peo- ple from all over the country, she said. Lyons, who had moved five times since his father had been in the Sem, said, I thought it was just a hassle. It got to the point where I didn ' t care what I said to my friends because I knew I wouldn ' t see them again. Peterson added that if she could have changed anything, she would change the vicarage year. I will be leaving Concordia for my junior year and will be coming back for my senior year, she said. The life of a Seminary student ' s child was not easy. They had to get used to making new friends and had to accept the fact they wouldn ' t know where they would be during their senior year. They had to adjust. — John Bakalar Stretching before a cross country prac- tice, Michelle Waller and Elaine Drees are among the few sophomores whose fathers attend the seminaty. cipher Ga Perry Glancy Leslie Godfrey Alice Goeglein Donald Goeglei Tana Goodwill Steven Habegge Peter Haller Sophomores 151 Brian Hamer Angela Hazelett Greg Heck Kelly Hegerfeld John Hein Pam Heisler Sha li Eric Hoffman Beth Hollman T Irmscher Dana Jackson Mischelie James T-shirts . . . Rest In Peace Working on an idea for a Radio Show during Mrs. Wiehe ' s English class, Craig Morton displays one of the more modern neat looks. K ' uried six inches under the pile of clothes in your clothes drawer lie your T- Shirts, worn, tired, and cold, with no one to look at them. This morbid thought was a re- ality here at Concordia. As one walked down the halls, it was seen that hardly anyone was wearing a T-Shirt anymore. A lot of people are wearing more sport shirts than they used to, said sophomore Warren Jarvis. T- Shirts were a fad, but sport shirts have been around for a long time. Occasionally one might sight an avid Ghostbuster or a devout Panama Jack , but it was very rare indeed when that near extinct spe- cies would be spotted on Cadet terrain. Last year T-Shirts saw a large boom as OP and other such shirts were the rage, but they slow- ly disappeared over the summer. People wear sport shirts because they want to look neater. Said sophomore Terence Lightning. Concordia ' s T-Shirt regulations have contributed to this change, and people have mixed feelings about this. Concordia should be strict because some shirts have bad humor or slogans on them, com- mented sophomore Jeff Peterson, But they shouldn ' t be too strict, that gives Concordia a bad name. On the other hand, Concordia is not the only school that has been hit by this trend. Friends at other schools wear sporty shirts also, said Jarvis, but they wear T-Shirts more than us. This may be be- cause of our regulations, which ate stricter than other schools, except maybe Luers and Dwenger, where certain dress is required. Cotton to cotton and thread to thread, thus the T-Shirts rest in their places. But maybe they aren ' t gone just yet ... They may be back. — Scott Hille v„ Jarvis Kelly Johnson Tim Johnston Gail Kanning Gwen Kanning Jav Kaufman Joel Keane Valerie Keoun Brad Kiess Amy Knox Dawn Koch Amy Koehlinger 15 2 Sophomores Jumping off the top of Zollner Stadium isn ' t one of yout avetage in-school activities, but it was fot Atmand Lyons, who ptactices repelling duting 7th hout ROTC.

People used to call me Howdy Doody when I was younger, commented sophomore Kelly Johnson. And now they seem to get even worse in the sun. While some people ' s freckles multiply in the sun, other people are just born with them. I ' ve had them as long as I can remember, said sophomore Marlena Meyer. They ' re just something I live with. I don ' t really know what I ' d look like without them. Along with freckles came nick- names. When I was younger, peo- ple used to call me freckle face, commented sophomore Dan Tennison. On the other hand, Jon Adair stated, I like having them. They ' re a part of my personality. Everyone in my family has them except my mom. Meyer seemed to like hers, too. I like having them. The only bad thing is that sometimes they make you look younger than you really are, she said. Sometimes that ' s good, sometimes it ' s bad. The face isn ' t the only place that people have freckles. Some also have them on their arms, legs, and back. A few people like their freckles, a few don ' t, and still there are oth- ers who don ' t really care one way or the other. I don ' t really mind them, stated Adair. It ' s just that mine get even worse in the sum- mer. It doesn ' t matter to me one way or the other, commented Johnson.

I was bored until I started ba- bysitting, said freshman Sheila Andrews, who enjoyed the respon- sibility as well as the excitement of the job. She added, Once a boy I was babysitting cut his arm badly, and I had to call an ambulance for help. Sometimes babysitting can be exciting in a more frightening way. Someone threw a rock through my front window when I was ba- bysitting once! exclaimed fresh- man Monika Wetzel. I was scared! A more humorous event hap- pened to freshman Julie Kinney. The doorbell was broken, and it kept ringing all night! she said. I didn ' t know what was going on! But for most, it was just a great way to make money.

Oh, brain, don ' t give up on me now! I know I should finish my homework, but the first episode of the new season of my favorite show has just begun. I don ' t want to miss even the first five minutes! Missing out on TV or missing out on good grades was a choice freshmen learned to make. On the nights I have sports after school, I do my homework first, then if I have time after that, I watch TV, explained freshman Veda Towles. On a survey taken, the top five favorites were Cheers, Bill Cosby. Remington Steele, Miami Vice, and A -Team. Second favorites were the shows Paper Dolls, Fam - ily Ties, and Riptide. The reasons these caught freshman interest var- ied: excitement, mystery, romance, comedy, and problems they could relate to. There are always excep- tions, however; some freshmen didn ' t watch TV. They preferred reading or were just too busy. TV doesn ' t interest me much, and I ' m usually too busy anyway with homework and volleyball prac- tice, commented Kim Morgan. Those who watched TV gave three reasons. After a hectic day, TV was a chance to relax. Others used TV as a reward to themselves after finishing a stack of home- work. The third reason given was the escape TV provided from the rigor of life. Depending on their reason for watching TV, some tuned in as early as 3:30 as a way to relax be- fore doing homework, Others waited until 7 p.m. or later, prefer- ring to study first. Freshmen who preferred TV to books watched five to six hours straight. The aver- age viewing time was from one to two hours. TV has an affect on our lives becase it teaches us to establish our own morals, con- cluded freshman Karla Schmidt. — Kim Schenkel TV is watched i as freshmen Chti Craig Linnemeier the play Romec school as well as home.

He was given Honotable Mention by the SAC for his 7 he ball cuts through the air with the power of the serve pushing it up and over the net. With his full attention directed at the ball, the player, in steady concentration, swings with perfect accuracy. The racquet and ball meet, and the ball rebounds back to the opponent, who misses it. The score is made, and John- Eric Buetow throws up his arms in victory. This was the scene of a typical tennis match for freshman John- Eric Buetow, who had a season of 17 wins and one loss. Buetow be- gan playing at age 6 when his mother signed him up for lessons. When he came to Concordia, ten- nis became more than a sport. Peo- ple began to recognize him for his abilities, and it was a special for him to meet new friends who shared his interest in tennis. Being a freshman on the varsity team wasn ' t too hard for Buetow. He was teased by the other team members, yet only in fun. Team member Kurt Schmidt said, We teased him about his lobs and dropshots, and hard serves in prac- tice, but easy dink serves in a match. We made fun of these things, but they were part of his game and strategy. They helped him to be one of the best singles in the city. The Buetows encouraged John - Eric by being interested and at- tending matches. Sports ability is a gift from God, said Mr. Paul Buetow, John ' s father. I give him credit for his commitment. Mr. Don Reinking, tennis coach, described John as being very consistent, smart, patient, and aggressive. His teammates described him as always trying to improve. Over the summer, John competed in tournaments around the city, which both his teammates and coach agreed, helped him in pressure matches. — Rachel Peterson David Schhe Chris Schlund Karla Schmidt Mark Schmidt Rebecca Schoenherr Bradley Schroeder Michael Sch ult Brenda Schust Kevin Scott Kristin Self Michael Settlemyre Kevin Shadle 160 Freshmen for The Man Who Came to Dinner, fresh: Yvette Garcia and Missy Garber share a script tor their reading Only one freshman was chosen for the prod Stephanie Sha Jill Sheets Jamie Silvers Brian Simpson Steve Simpson Jason Smith Jeffrey Smith Matt Smith Amy Statnes Heidi Stennfeld Randall Studinski Etika Taylor Angela Tennison Kelly Therkelsen Tonya Tieken Stacy Toms Veda Towles Ketry Tracey Pam Ttitch Kari Trygg Jon Vogel David Volmerding Duncan Walker Sara Walther Christopher Wehrmeister John Werhng Monika Wetzel Scott Wilhams Timothy Williamson Jeffrey Wilson Steven Winkelman Chris Wood Macquilh Woodard Laura Zelt Timothy Zwick Freshmen 161 Upfront V Advantages Behind Creations Did you ever wonder who did those catchy, eye-opening morning announcements, or who did make-up for the plays, or noticed something around school that you didn ' t know how it came to be? These services were provided by people who rarely got recognition for them. Scott Hille, junior, started doing announcements for yearbook promo- tions at the beginning of the year. Since then, when people needed an- nouncements, they came to Hille. I ' ve done promotions for Student Council, Lumo, dances, the Improv., the state of Kansas, and anything else that needed to be done, stated Hille. It gave me a chance to use my cre- ativity. Writing was only one of the ser- vices Mrs. Gretchen Breininger pro- vided. I worked partime as Mr. Brackmann ' s secretary doing everyth- ing from arranging athletic contracts for schools competing here, to typing, filing, and answering phones, Brein- inger said. Working with scenery, doing make-up and sound effects were a few of the jobs junior Tina Marks has done for the past two years. I got a chance to meet people I probably wouldn ' t have came in contact with if I hadn ' t worked back stage, stated Marks. I ' ve also gained experience working with make-up. Senior Jill Jarvis created the calen- dar outside Student Services each month. It helped make me more aware of events around school that I probably wouldn ' t have known about otherwise, stated Jarvis. It ' s a worth- while thing to give up some of your spare time to help out the school. I think more people should get in- volved behind the scenes. — Mario Odier Putting her creativity to work, senior Jill Jarvis puts the finishing touches on the cal- endar for the month of February. Besides working at school, Mrs Brein- inger tties to keep in shape by playing rac- quetball, and works evenings at Joyce Shel- by Shoe Store. It keeps me busy, but I like it, she said. In addition to doing promotional an- nouncements for different groups, ju- niors Scott Hille, Mike Rieck and senior Bill Dickmeyer also did an occasional morning devotion. Using background music was of- ten a part oi these announcements to add variety 162 Behind The Scenes Making final preparations for dress re- hearsal, senior Kurt Salomon helps sopho- more Dawn Koch put on her make-up for the Toybox presentation of Peter Rabbit on February 9- Being a bovs ' bask etball manager or statist! people cated em ugh give up some ttee time, tc help the team out: FRONT ROW J.

Band director Paul Wills had just told her the good news. It made me feel better about my ability. Eight hundred tried out; only 125 made it. I couldn ' t believe it, stated Mader. The members of the All-State Band played in a concert in Indianapolis on March 10. Achieving a goal was important. Some made it part of their everyday lives. Being with friends. Doing homework. Eating and sleeping. Prac- ticing, dteaming and believing. Ev- erything they did brought their goals to mind. I lost to a guy and I wanted to beat him in tennis sectionals, said senior Dave Walters. I wrote his name on a ball, squeezed it and threw it around. I carried it around to remind me. It never left my sight. Before the SAC cross-country meet, I wrote 16:45 all over an old shirt in different colors to remind me of my goal, said sophomore Eric Hoffman. After I ran, I was mad because I didn ' t make my time.

My goal in football was to be the best every time I played, stated senior defensive end Steve Wagner. Indiana coaches named Wagner to the All State team. He was also, along with senior Kyle Calloway, named to the 1984 Lutheran High School All - American Football team. It made me feel good to get an award for always working so hard, commented Wag- ner. The gymnastic team ' s goal was to maintain their pre-season number one rating in the SAC. Although they failed to do that, records for team scotes were constantly broken. We worked to break personal records; that helped us break school records, ex- plained junior Dawn Parr. When I worked hard, I got a good feeling. I felt better when I did more than what was expected.

Concor- dia ' s Golden Anniversary year was marked with the commemoration of all aspects of Cadet life. A September 16 opening service and ceremony kicked off the celebra- tion. Homecoming was the next big event, with the largest turnout ever for the dance held at Goeglein ' s aftet the game. Several sports teams held reunion gatherings during the year. Both foot- ball and basketball teams presented past coaches with plaques commemo- rating their contributions to the school. These were given at ceremo- nies honoring past coaches and play- ers. We decided to have the reunion because basketball was a popular sport, said Glenn Parrish, head bas- ketball coach. It helped keep the CLHS family close, and also allowed us to continue good public relations in the community. The military department also had a hand in the special festivities. Alumni were invited to the Clendenen Drill Meet, military ball and military tour- nament. There was an awards cere- mony at the drill meet and the military tournament was dedicated to the past military leaders, said Major Tibor Bierbaum. While the school celebrated 50 years, certain events reached their own high points. The CEF Banquet was held for its 25th year; Christmas at Concordia aired on TV -33 for the 21st time, and the Auction continued its new tradition, raising more money than the first year. The driving force behind all anni- versary activities was the Office of Development, Public Relations and Alumni Affairs. Headed by Director of Development Dick Katt, the De- velopment Office coordinated all an- niversary activities. The climax would be The Golden Weekend to be held Aug. 9, 10, 11. According to Katt, The Golden Weekend will be the biggest single affair that has ever been undertaken by the high school. It ' s unique, I believe, in the entire community. I do not re- call any school or institution in the area that has ever endeavored to get 50 classes all back together at one time for a giant reunion, Katt said. The Grand Wayne Center will be the site for the finale to the Golden Anniversary Year at Concordia Luth- eran High School which will center on the theme Cherish the Past, Nourish the Future. An estimated 2000-3000 alumni and spouses are expected to attend the re- union which starts with a Welcome- Back Social Friday evening.

Concentration and long hours were often the price, especially when the goal was a good grade. Cramming late at night for tests. Sacrificing weekends for projects. Staying up until 3 a.m. to finish a term paper. High goals meant high expecta- tions. Sometimes students failed. They didn ' t accomplish what they hoped. Anxiety and frustration resulted. But even with disappointments, bright spots were found. And lessons were learned. There were a lot of expectations in marching band about going to State, said drum major Bill Dickmeyer. Al- though the band didn ' t get past re- gionals, Dickmeyer said, I wasn ' t dis- appointed. We moved up three from last year. I wanted to do well on my English term paper because I was taking the course for college credit. I had prob- lems getting my paper to fit my thesis. 1 had to rewrite it twice, said senior Kristie Bruick. I was frustrated be- cause I had a good start on it and waited to put it together. I spent too much time worrying about it instead of writing it. If I hadn ' t procrastinated, my paper would have turned out bet- ter. Several students ' goals were stopped because of injury. While par- ticipating in a drill in football practice, sophomore Rob Bradtmiller broke his neck. At first his injury wasn ' t thought to be serious. He even walked off the field. I was one in a million that didn ' t get paralyzed, Bradtmiller said. I can ' t play anymore football, but my injury opened up a new opportunity. I decided to play tennis. Changes were rough. They were very demanding. They were also hard to face. Adjustment periods were dif- ficult. But people learned by chang- ing. One of the several changes in aca- demics was that English teachers taught different classes. As a result they had to adjust: I had to get used to a different age group, said Mr. Kurt Jordan. The change gave me a chance to update my material. I felt more interested because I had to pre- pare more. It opened a new outlook. Sometimes a situtation could be so enjoyable that the change was forgot- ten. Junior Julie Klausmeier, the oldest in a family of three girls, adjusted to the birth of a baby brother. We ' ve had to make changes because we didn ' t have room in our house for him, but he ' s brought a lot of joy, Klausmeier said. I ' ve become more responsible. Freshmen especially had to make adjustments and changes. I had to get used to moving to different classes and being on time. I ' ve become open, instead of being so shy, said fresh- man Stacy Toms.

The performance was held on February 9, at 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 A.M. Closing 175 Closing Extra responsibilities came to those who volunteeted. Juniot Laura Heil- man and senior Lisa Koehlinger were in charge of the Homecoming dance. It was nervewracking because the success of the dance was in our hands, said Koehlinger. We weren ' t pressured because we planned early. We were open with each other and communicated. Once students got involved, they found a difficult task wasn ' t so bad. Pressure was only temporary. Respon- sibility could actually be enjoyable. Adjusting to a disappointment wasn ' t really that hard either. Changes could come and go, only to make room for greater changes. Growth was a continuous cycle and Changing Cadet Times was a real part of life at CLHS. — Susan Wade Even though ■rwasa Tuesday ni ght, and road condkior s were poor, spirited students attended a ma ce-up boy basketball game in order to support the tear While taking a lunch br eak, Lumina rian staff members feast on sloppy joes, taco s ilad, and fudge jumbles The staff was required attend a workshop February 16, in order to com- plete assignments for the line. fifth and fir al dead- 1 76 Closing
