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. Working at Historic Fort Before the start of their English O class, sen- iors Chip Evanson and Matt Brown make fun of each others costumes for Masquerade Day.

StuW V In Search Of The Lost Art M nother night snuggled up y - behind your desk. 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
