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.

License adds pizzazz to weekends Boring, boring, boring! For what seemed like the 8000th time, the history teacher talked about the first slaves in America. It was time to think about the weekend. About Wednesday I started thinking about what to do over the weekend coming up, said junior Brad Till. The average student spent at least one night at a football or basketball game. Whenever there was a home game, I went, said freshman Amie Dorman. Even though most students spent time at sporting events, there was a big difference between classes concerning what they did the remaining night of the weekend. Since most freshmen can ' t drive, they couldn ' t do the same things upperclassmen did. A lot of the times they had to stay home with their parents, said senior Kelly Bercot. Because freshmen generally didn ' t have a driver ' s license, the options of what to do were limited. Sometimes I went home with my parents, but a lot of times I went riding around with upperclassmen friends, said freshman Kyle Bryant. Sophomores found things to do and trans- portation more easily than freshmen be- cause a few had their licenses. If we didn ' t have a game, ususally one of my friends who could drive went around and picked up a bunch of people and we went to someone ' s house to watch TV and eat pizza, said sophomore Julie Jarvis. During the junior year there were count- less things to do and places to go, even if you didn ' t have a driver ' s license. I didn ' t have my driver ' s license until later on in the year; but all of my friends did, so they just took me along when they went TPing, said junior Kelly Rhodes. Seniors spent more time than any other class at parties. I liked to go to parties with my friends because there were always lots of people there so it was a good chance to make new friends, said senior Kolleen Macke. No matter how Cadets spent their week- ends, they universally found them a much needed break from school. I liked week- ends because, after a week of rushing to turn in homework, it was nice to have a break from the pressure, said senior Mike Kan- ning. — Heidi Bieberich wm Enjoying cheeseburgers and Diet Coke, sophomores Scott Crawford, Brad Schroeder, and Julie McMillen sit in front of McDonald ' s making the most of the remain- ing warm days. Schroeder was one of the first sopho- mores to get his license. Hanging toilet paper from a tree, senior Shelly Apple- gate puts the finishing touches on senior Steve Burk- holder ' s house.
