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.

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

Golden Victory Tops v Week y pirit was the key. 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.

After school, seniors Cami Piekarski, Kns Springer, and Julie Scheiman prac- tice I have Decided by Amy Grant (or the Pops Concert. While waiting to order at the McDonalds in Northwood, juniors Amy Dafforn, Dawn Parr, and Mario Odier decide what they want to do over the weekend. CAM A was the kids, said alumni Mrs. Judy Mollering. Going To The CAMA Tangled legs, smashed shoulders, too many elbows, malts, and a juke- box blasting ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK. 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
