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

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

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.
