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.

Making use of his quick reflexes, senior Phil Waltenburg demonstrates his pinball ability to Tricia Airgood. They were at a party at Chris Newby ' s after a home football game against Bishop Dwenger. After the football game on October 4 against Snider, freshmen Amy Rickner and Jenny Nash enjoy eating pizza at the Pizza Hut on East State. This particular Pizza Hut was usually populated by CLHS students after football and basketball games. Going Out

Festivities add stylish touch Back to the Future — the theme for a picture-perfect homecoming that brought back memories of: supportive Cadet fans, returning alumni, an energetic band and flag performance, a tear-filled coronation, color- ful Corvettes and radiant fireworks followed by the Enchantment Under The Sea dance. Approximately 1300 Cadet fans packed Zollner Stadium to watch the Cadets take on the South Side Archers. The results were less than picture-perfect as the scoreboard reflected a 26 to loss. The crowd re- sponse was better than normal. The entire stands were filled, said senior court candi- date and varsity cheerleader Kelly Beck. It was especially neat to see all the returning alumni. All the people helped make homecom- ing special to me. After I graduate, it ' ll be fun to come back and see everyone, com- mented sophomore Julie McMillen. As the excitement of seeing fellow class- mates and alumni continued, the anticipation of half-time festivities intensified. The await- ed moment burst into action as the band and flags saluted the crowd and began their pro- gram. The band and flag were at their best. Their routines were really enthusiastic, said senior Michele Thompson. Freshman Kim Jacobs added, The band did an excellent job. I especially liked their music selection, and the new blue flags and Homecoming court of ' 85: Susie Schoenherr, Bob Bortz, Kelly Beck, Lance Hoffman, queen Rhonda Stahl, king Michael Netterville, Michelle Applegate, Mi- chael Kanning, Carol Wade, Rick Rodenbeck. rings added a special touch to the show. Enhancing the evening was the crowning of queen Rhonda Stahl and king Mike Net- terville. All the non-football candidates then rode around the track in shiny Corvettes. The crowning of king and queen was most exciting. All the candidates were friends of mine which made me feel super happy, said senior Paul Lagemann. I loved the Corvettes. They added a lot of class. Concluding the celebration at Zollner Sta- dium, the Alumni Association provided an extensive show of fireworks. Because of the cloudy night, they really lit up the sky. I thought it was the best display we ' ve had in my sixteen years at Concordia, said Athle- tic Director, Mr. Ed Brackmann. However, the homecoming festivities were not yet completed. A dance attended by 525 students took place in the main gym. Oceanic decorations added a special touch to the dance ' s theme — Enchantment Un- der The Sea . Junior Val Keoun said, Hav- ing live goldfish as centerpieces was original. The green cut-out fish and netting added a lot of spirit and creativity to the dance it- self. — Deanna Davis Taking a minute on the sidelines to advise senior player Brian Freeman, Coach Paul Fluegge explains the next play to be executed by Concordia ' s offensive team.
