by God ' s grace I feel that the teachers really care about each student, said freshman Dan Twomey. They took the time to help me. The students here really made an effort to make me feel welcome and accepted, said ju- nior Leslie Wade, who transferred from Home- stead first semester, I didn ' t find all the cliques you see at some other schools. At Concordia, I feel comfortable showing my Christianity, and I feel that it is a very important aspect in my education, said senior Karla Mar- aldo. The most vital aspect in making Concordia the BRIGHT choice was the Christian atmosphere that surrounded the faculty and students alike. Jesus Christ gave us the talents and abilities to perform well and win the honors and awards; without him, the honors would have no meaning. As we achieve at Concordia, let us always re- member our motto, To God alone be the glory. — Anne Nobis 4 Opening ■ 5

uilding a family with individuals Life at Concordia was both extreme and ordinary. Of course, life included algebra finals, biology dissections, fire alarms, and pep as semblies. But there were unique choices for the Cadet: special chapel services, transforming a mere script into a brilliant play, passing the test where sleep beat out studying the night before. These BRIGHT moments are the memories that come flooding back at the end of the year. Whatever way students chose to spend their extra time, benefits were evident. Extra-curricular activities gave people a sense of belonging and helped them in understanding a team concept, said senior Dave LeBeau. ROTC taught me valuable tactics, leadership skills, and first aid that will help me to enter the Special Forces, stated junior Doug Wolfe. Weekends consisted of many norms. Saturday was for socializing. Sunday was spent in worship and studying, said senior Mike Netterville. Student council dances provided for weekend extremes. The dances were incredible! A great way to forget school and just enjoy the music and people, said sophomore Bi ll Worth, a transfer student from Wisconsin. Every student was ordinary and extreme as they expressed their individ- uality. We did our own thing, said senior Susie Lytal. No two people were alike. But we all built our lives around Christ and that made us a family. — Julie Klausmeier Computers were more a part of student ' s life as they realized programming could be fun as well as education- al.
