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.
