The thing I liked about Concordia was that whenever I was wishing I was somewhere else, my friends were always able to cheer me up and help me realize things weren ' t that bad, said junior Tom Phares. Small didn ' t always mean insignificant. It was the family chapel service, the new privilege of drinking pop at lunch, and the five new IBM computers, which alone didn ' t seem like much, but added together made a significant difference to students and faculty. Having more computers was an advantage in programming because almost everyone was able to get on the computers everyday. It also allowed the class to cover more because instead of having to allow two days for every assignment so everyone could get on a computer, Mr. Lehenbauer could make a new assignment faster because everyone was on a computer everyday. The one bad thing about the computers was that one of the PC Jrs. ate my disk twice, said senior Eric Hoffman. I ' m glad about being able to drink Pepsi at lunch because I think it ' s a lot more refreshing than milk, and especially when it was so hot in the beginning of the year it tasted good, said senior Jon Adair. Everyday happenings experienced by each of the 750 students seemed small at the time, but when talked about later became unique times spent with friends. Bored with TPing as weekend entertainment, students got the creative juices flowing, and the result was forking. Forking entailed first heading (continued on page 5) Incorporating into her story the fact that she often finds change in her washing machine, Mrs Jerry Schoenherr reads her letter to her family during the family chapel service. : ' .■ Opening -C0-U13 Goegfeci.

The next step was to choose a victim and wait for just the right moment to stab his or her lawn with multicolored forks. We go forking instead of l Ping because it ' s funnier. Instead of waking up with white in your trees, it ' s stuck in your lawn, said senior Marlena Meyer A revamped English Department provided options tailored to individual needs. For the first time, American Authors and Artists first semester meant a slide presentation to worry about over Christmas break, instead of the final weeks of school The reason we switched Creative Writing and American Authors and Artists was having five composition classes in the same semester created too many papers to have to grade said Mr Kurt Jordan, English department head. We renamed challenge of self-awareness because we received many questions from colleges and employers about the content of the course. It was hard for them to tell if it was a religion class or an English class, said Jordan. The fall sports season revitalized student interest in athletics The varsity football team pulled out a small but mighty 7-6 win over Harding, the first win in two years. The boys ' varsity tennis team advanced to the sectional finals, played October 6 at Swinney Park. It was fun to always win. The team didn ' t get too cocky though. The varsity players took it in stride and didn ' t let it go to their heads. They always thought about playing intensely, said sophomore Pete McMahan. Due to a 12-person increase in the freshman class, the first floor hallway, swarmed with students, had no lockers unoccupied. I was glad to be in a big class because the grade school I went to only had nine people in the eighth grade class. Being in such a big class gave me a good opportunity to meet people who had my same interests said freshman Sara Hebel. — Heidi Bieberich and Katie Wasson Deciding walking wos not the route to take. junior Dorcy Robinson gets a btl from freshman lindy Taylor, during freshman lmtiat on Day The frosh were required to wear a sign alerting the student body of ther status Oper ng 5 onotony of life shattered as unusual moments prevail Small things which added up to a large number of activities could describe the life of a Concordia Cadet. Weekends were filled with the fun of Friday night football victories, Student Council dances, Saturday afternoon golf outings, and an eating spree at Pizza Hut. These moments spent with friends created an atmosphere of excitement and action. After football games, my friends and I would try to think of something different to do. Sometimes we would T.P. or go to Sub Way and pig out, said sophomore Ben Shull. Cadets did have moments of fun; however, sometimes this action, combined with choir and band practices, athletic practices, and the omnipresent homework, created problems. I enjoyed being busy; however, sometimes I suddenly had what seemed to be two million things that needed to get done, said senior Brian Hamer. It was times when life became too hectic that a small break was needed to end the monotony for a while. When life became too crazy, I would sit down with a big bag of Skittles and eat the yellow ones, said junior Anita Bredemeyer. Their tart taste brought a smile to my face, and that made me feel better all over. Special and unusual times with family proved to be valuable among the multitude of other activities. An unusual thing that loved to do was to play fooball in the mud, said senior Vicki Elliott. My family used to be big enough that we could have our own team and play against the neighborhood kids. — Brent Doerffler Before a weekday practice of the fall play A Bicycle Built for Two, senior Susie Schoenherr and junior Ben Miller spend a few minutes helping each other rehearse their lines. Small things. like a friend ' s help, really make a difference, said Miller. lt ' s the Students thai Cdt ht Student Life Divider Question and Answer Q: What kind of Dairy Queen Blizzard do you like? -%: % zz QL -£ % 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 ' - z -.:. z- -zz r : ' ; ' €■ weeke ' Kis of the summer takes soeoal care as he c on his customized Vofcswa felt that rt was ai of the v oW for his bug ' that mode Airing out her toes, freshman Kim Wolfgram relaxes one af- ternoon after school during Homecoming week.

The sound of Pastor Borchers ' Kansas Hymns cheering each class on provid- ed entertainment Wednesday night during Anything Goes. Though preparation for the event started way back in July, the evening itself was cut a little short because of rain. Anything Goes was great! It was a chance to see every- one in your class and show a lot of school spirit. I had a great time cheering my class on even though I wasn ' t in any events, and I felt the classes had great team spirit, said sophomore Julia Saalfrank. Picking the contestants for each event out of a paper sack was a new pr ocedure. In the past, class officers chose the teams at an assembly. We decided that this wasn ' t the fairest way because some- times the officers ' friends got picked over others or not ev- eryone had a fair chance at signing up because the sign up tables were too crowded, said senior co-chairman Val Keoun. Though Anything Goes only lasted for one night, spirit days also added to the week-long fun. Dress up days were the only times you got to act really crazy! said junior Jill Sheets. Though more people partic- ipated in Formal Day than any other day, the days on which the costumes used the most imagination were the favorites. I liked Clash Day the best. I liked to see all the weird things people wore, said junior Tra- cy Albersmeyer. Spirit days were a lot of fun because you got to see people at the ir worst and their best. said freshman Chad Applegate. Students also invested much time on Tuesday night to decorate the hallways. This proved to be successful for the seniors, who came out victori- ous in Anything Goes and the judging of hall decorations. — Julie Chickedantz Keeping spirits high, senior Su- sie Schoenherr displays her Clash Day costume.

At noon the tempera- ture was 82 degrees and the sky was clear, but by 5:00 the rain had iei loose and the tem- perature had drastically dropped to 62 degrees. Band members were worried that they would have to perform in street clothes. Since it was Homecoming I wanted uni- forms, but I felt that if it rained no one would stay to watch them, said Mr. Paul Wills, band director. After being run out of bounds, full- back Mike Peterson is brought down by fullback Al Thompson of the Wayne Generals. Peterson was the only sophomore player who started. After the first touchdown, junior Ben Miller reenacts the highlights of the play. Following the touch- down, the band played the school song. Homecoming Court: Tim Graham, Kristin Baumgartner, Don Goeg- lein, Heidi Bieberich, Bob Bortz, Susie Schoenherr, John Westra. Becky Carter, Becky Borchelt, Da- vid Panning. The stands remained bare because the rain spoiled Homecoming decorations. Most felt that the rain had a great part in winning the game. Instead of passing the ball they (Wayne players) ran with it, which was to our ad- vantage, said senior Jeff Peterson. The game against the Wayne Generals ended in a Concordia victory, 17-0. Sec- ond quarter highlights were running back Bob Bortz ' s touchdown, running back Tim Graham ' s touchdown and kicker Eric Schilf ' s field goal. The Homecoming dance, Dancing in the Streets, took place in the gym. The decora- tions included graffiti on the walls, street signs, and barri- cades. I thought the decora- tions were great. They really fit in with the music and the theme, said freshman Diana Johnson. The decorations were a lot better than last year. You could tell they put a lot of hard work and effort into them, said senior John Westra. The disk jockeys for the dance were Sounds One. They had a great selection of music that was easy to dance to, said sophomore Katie Harris. Students could wear shorts because of the hot weather. I think they should have had some fans, said freshman Stacey Smith. Cookies and punch were served, and servers ran out of punch. We went through 30 gallons and we finally gave up at 11:30, said Mrs. Beth Bie- berich, chaperone. — Amandia Snell Homecoming Game Cheerleaders encourage run- ning back Bob Bortz by screaming lor a victory.

I felt like Luther Bible Camp really pulled me clos- er to God, and I had a better attitude.

You couldn ' t stand the agony any longer, so you took the Nestea Plunge into the crisp, clear pool. Boys ' and Girls ' State kicked off the summer in June. Senior Becky Carter attended. She ran for superintendent of public education and won the election. I am glad they chose me, Carter said, I thought it was such a great ex- perience, and I will remember it for the rest of my life. Senior Jerry Reinking was one of the boy candidates. It was neat because there were 1000 guys, and if you weren ' t an exceptional person, you kind of got lost in the crowd, Reinking said. July was full of activities. During the Three Rivers Festi- val, the CLHS band received first place in their marching di- vision, with Amy Koehlinger as the new drum major. I really couldn ' t believe we won. As a Drum Major, I felt really proud because it was my first perfor- mance, said Koehlinger. Assistant drum major, Gail Reddemann said, Winning first in the parade was great. I did flips! Band wasn ' t the only activi- ty going on this summer. Sophomore Julia Saalfrank found a job at Lake Luther Bi- ble Camp. Instead of sitting around this summer, I wanted to try something new and challenging. I felt like Lake Lu- ther Bible Camp really pulled me closer to God, and I had a better attitude towards life. During the summer, people found good times to uncover hidden talents. Junior Tammy Lagemann participated in the Three Rivers Ski show and said, It made me feel like somebody, because all the people were watching me! In August. 15.000 youths attended the National Youth Convention in Washington, D.C., and among them were Concordia students. Sopho- more Christine Sorg said, It was really neat because I made a lot of new friends and strengthened relationships with old ones. —Kelly Rhodes During a summer conditioning practice, the new girls volleyball coach.

Many students had one spe- cial item they had been saving for or had already purchased. I spent $1,500 on a Suffolk ram (male sheep) in order to breed him with ewes, to pro- duce show wethers (market meat lambs), said senior Per- ry Glancy. He planned on rais- ing sheep for a living after graduating from high school. During the high school years, needs and wants changed. While freshmen thought about having enough money to pitch in for a pizza IgMirSffiillfmi after the game, seniors wor- ried about having enough money to buy a car. Senior Eric Stirnkorb bought his own car. Luckily, I didn ' t have to pay for the insurance or all the wrecks that I had gotten into, said Stirnkorb. While in the bookstore, freshman Valerie Wagner buys a notebook. Wagner said she has to buy them often because teachers take them away from her for writing notes My parents paid for my gas and gave me lunch mon- ey, said senior Amy Knox. They wanted me to save 75% of my pay check for whatever I was going to do af- ter high school. Most parents were lenient as to what stu- dents did with the money they earned. My parents didn ' t mind how I spent my money because it was mine, stated senior Paul Smith. Most students admitted to spending a lot of money on junk food. When asked what she spent her money on, freshman Cathy Scheff quickly replied, Blow-pops! Senior Jeff Roth said he spent most of his money on movie tickets and fast food. The majority of the students said they liked to spend mon- ey but admitted to enjoying it more when it was someone else ' s. I ' m good at spending money, especially on clothes, said senior Amy Gil- more. There were also stu- dents who found it somewhat harder to spend money. Smith, who is paying for all four years of college himself, said, My friends always tell me I ' m cheap. — Leslie Wade Working after school at Sher- ry ' s. senior Sherry Early prepares an order for a customer.

It was the small things that added to the outfit. I still like to wear Swatches because they look nice and go with a lot of stuff, said junior Tammy Lagemann. Styles had a way of repeat- ing themselves, as clothes dat- ing all the way back to medi- eval times became popular again. I liked to wear a lot of lace and pearls because of the ro- mantic look it created, said senior Traci Douglass. Clothes with a more recent history, the 60 ' s, also became popular. Girls could be seen wearing giant hoop earrings, gold or silver shoes, a sleeve- less high necked dress, or leggings. Guys were affected by this trend as they too wore clothes from the past. They could be seen walking the halls wearing Styles weren ' t always based on the present and the future, as in this case where sophomore Car- men McGee and senior Rachel Pe- terson wear clothes dating from Victorian times to the 60 ' s. suspenders either attatched to their pants or hanging from their waists. I think that the older styles came back in because they looked like fun to wear, said Lagemann. Attitudes about fashion dif- fered from student to student, but moods and feeling com- fortable still determined what they wore. I don ' t follow the latest styles. I think they are trendy and competitive. I wear what I want to wear because I like it, and that usually depends on the mood I ' m in. I like safety pins, my leather jacket, and combat boots always. Polish them up and you can wear them anywhere, said junior Chris Gordon. I like to wear clothes by Coca-Cola, Guess, and Ben- neton because they are stylish and comfortable, said fresh- man Valerie Parr. — Michelle Dorothy Funky and wild was the look of the watches seen most often on the wrist of a CLHS students.

During competition at the Hunter Hill Stables, junior Julie McMillen completes a success- ful jump. McMillen rode her horse every day after school and on the weekends too. ne of the advan- tages of playing in a sport outside of school was that you got to meet kids from, other schools. — Junior Mark Pannkuk Outside Sports Parents steer students to outside activities portin ' out of school Turf, ice, water, and dirt. Con- cordia students found time to enjoy their favorite sports out- side of school, even after teachers had given homework. Riding every day, I some- times had to put off studying, but eventually I got it done, said junior Julie McMillen. Students found that their parents had encouraged them to start at an early age in sports not offered through school. My mom wanted me to get involved in dancing when I was in first grade. I wasn ' t too crazy about it then but I have really learned to love the sport, said senior Barb Bienz. I started playing hockey when I was four years old, and every year I looked forward to getting back out there and seeing old friends, stated ju- nior Craig Linnemeier. Long hours of practice usu- ally paid off for those who were dedicated. I took horse- back riding seriously. I rode two hours a day, and I consid- ered it as important as any guy considered football, said McMillen. Attending everything the athletes wanted to wasn ' t al- ways possible to do. They gave up many of Concordia ' s social functions in order to participate in their outside ac- tivities. I sometimes couldn ' t go to the football games or dances because of a tennis match the next day, said sophomore Amy Rickner. Along with the thrill of com- petition was the thrill of travel- ing. We traveled to different cities every weekend, and we always had a good time, said Linnemeier. We had dancing competi- tions every weekend which took us to Indianapolis, and we were in parades in Ohio and all over Indiana, stated Bienz. Being in sports outside of school seldom left time for those who wanted to be in- volved in school activities. If I didn ' t swim all year, I would probably go out for tennis or basketball, said sophomore Julie Chickedantz. If you really enjoyed some- thing enough, you found the time to get things done, stat- ed Bienz. — Sarah Roemer Dancing lakes up much of senior Barb Bienz ' s oul-ol-school lime Although she felt at limes she had to sacrifice social activities, she rated the experience as important Playing hockey and spending many hours a week at M Rink. |unior Craig Lmne • both exercise and recreation and competing go to- aphomore Jeff Beroct 19 Volunteering helps students to make career, life decisions elf-satisfaction the only pay The school bell rang at the end of the day, and students were running out of the building. Some were tense anticipating the volunteer jobs they were heading to. Some looked for- ward to it. Some did it for classroom assignments, while others did it because they wanted to. Junior Sarah Lindeman vol- unteered at the zoo in the summer and during the holi- days. As a three-year volun- teer, she sold balloons, Sitting down to practice, senior Kurt Schmidt works on a piece to be played with the Philharmonic orchestra. Schmidt was also a head usher for Embassy theater concerts. As she reviews last week ' s lesson about the plagues in Egypt with the class, senior Dawn Marie Min- nick teaches Sunday school. Min- nick taught at Bethlehem church. Volunteering at the zoo, junior Tra- cy Albersmeyer helps guide the horses through the trails. Albers- meyer helped in a tew of the many zoo activities for children. cleaned cages, and helped with special projects. My sister volunteered there, and that ' s what got me started. It was fun doing it be- cause I like zoology and I en- joyed working with other peo- ple. One of the things that made me enjoy it more was the many cute guys, said Lindeman. Junior Tracy Albersmeyer also worked at the zoo. She was a leader on the horse trails and has been working there for more than four years. What I liked about my job was being with the horses, said Albersmeyer. Working at a day care cen- ter was senior Tina Barney ' s interest. Barney liked to work with the children there and teach them different skills. I had the best time in my life working at the day care center, and if I could have changed anything, I wouldn ' t have left, said Barney. Volunteering at Kinder Care was senior Brent Doerffler ' s psychology project. I en- joyed it because I loved the kids, Doerffler said. As a project in her psychol- ogy class, senior Jennifer Mather volunteered at the State Developmental Center. She taught art class to mental- ly disabled children once a week for two hours. I want to go into some kind of psychology and maybe work with retarded children. My favorite part of my job was teaching them how to work with art, said Mather. Even though her hours had been completed for the class, Mather wanted to continue going to the center. — Holly Davis Volunteering With The Care Bear her job easier.

It was time for the family members to indulge. Crowded into the family sta- tion wagon, they were off in search of food; but Where? was the big question pounding in their growling stomachs. This familiar scene was ex- perienced by students and their families often, on an aver- age of three times a week. Since there were many restau- rants in the Fort Wayne area, students said that picking a restaurant was a hard choice to make. Often they stuck with a restaurant that was a favor- ite. Senior John Dwinell said that other than pizza places, Burger King was his favorite restaurant. Other than fast food restau- rants, students also enjoyed the finer style of dining. My favorite restaurant was T.J. Pasta, said freshman Kirstin Martin. Sophomore Neil Hudson said Casa D ' Angelo was his Brown-Bagging her lunch to school, junior Heather Hoffman finishes off an apple during second lunch. Hoffman packed her lunch when she wasn ' t going straight home after school.

After the football game with Snider, senior Craig Morton treats senior Angela Stedge to a snack at Cheddars. Cheddars was a popu- lar place for students to hang-out. favorite restaurant in Fort Wayne because it had good food. Picking a favorite restaurant entailed a variety of different factors to be studied, such as the location and the atmo- sphere. I liked Coney Island because it never changed; it always was the same, said senior Amy Gilmore. I liked T.J. Pasta because everyone was really friendly there, said Martin. Other reasons why students picked certain restaurants as their favorites ranged from cheap prices to service. I liked Chi-Chi ' s because I like Mexican food and because their prices were reasonable. They gave you free chips and sauce too, said senior Vel Stowe. Cheddars was my favorite restaurant because it was dif- ferent from all the rest of the restaurants, said senior T Irmscher. Irmscher also said that she liked their french fries the best. I believe that to make Fort Wayne ' s restaurants even bet- ter we should tear down all the Penguin Points that are in the Fort Wayne area and build more Subway sub-shops, said Dwinell. — Sherry Bredemeyer Restaurants Alter seeing the movie Stand by Me. juniors Brad Schroc- der and Donita Bolinger stop into Cheddars tor hamburgers and onion rings | went to Wendy ' s especially during the battle of the bands ' to support our band be- cause I knew it would help us if we won. 5 — Senior Karolyn Davis F Y Bidding farewell to her ' man on the moon ' before going away to college.

Sap and its various word forms (sappy, sappier or sap- piest) created scenes on and off the stage in Bicycles Built for Two. I had been encouraged to do a musical, but having never directed a musical before, I didn ' t want to try a major pro- duction, said Kusch. To break the monotony of each rehearsal and get the cast in a working mood, Kusch asked each person to come j up with an exercise. These ex- |ercises ranged from aerobics I to improvisational skits. The exercises relaxed the cast, and loosened them up. | They put them in a working :mood instead of being down |or tired, said Kusch. I think the warm-up exer- Icises made a difference be- cause they helped us forget about school and concentrate Ion drama, said senior Susie Schoenherr. Another unique aspect of the musical was the set, which •was designed and built by alumni Matt Kizer. The set was totally collaps- ible. It was based on imagina- tion, because it was sugges- tive of walls and doors, but they weren ' t real. During the play the audience was more interested with the characters, so the absence of much of a set wasn ' t a problem, Kusch said. A large part of the fun be- hind the scenes generated from the sappiness of parts of the play. The cast began to tease Kusch about the kissing and other mushy scenes. This developed into an inside joke, which culminated at the last performance when Kusch was presented with a sweatshirt printed with ' THE BIG SAP. ' Sometimes wher. .-. in the middle of a sappy line, we heard this chuckle from Mr. Kusch out in the middle of the audience — that would start the whole cast laughing, said senior Vicki Elliott. — Katie Wasson Reminiscing about their courtship days.

This was the wailing cry of the local auctioneers Jon, Charles, and Robert Charleston at Concor- dia ' s fourth annual auction with this year ' s theme A BA- VARIAN CHRISTMAS. As the royal red carpet spread across the floor, Ger- man music flowed like a breeze through the air, and snowflakes glistened from above, the trumpets sounded the arrival of all 528 people as they strolled through a newly recreated Bavarian village in Germany, on December 4 and 5. Freshman runner Jeff Harper said, I thought they would have the auction in an old, smoky filled barn, with people wearing dirty clothes. The German exchange stu- dent Ulrike Lehmann, spoke to the guests about what she liked most in U.S.A. Ameri- cans were more sincere and open with their feelings than we were in Germany. Every- one made me feel so welcome here. This auction made me feel so neat because I felt like I was back in Germany, Leh- mann said. The twelve committees in- volved with the preparations started making decorations the day after the fall sports banquet, said general chair- man, Mrs. Pam Schmidt. Some of the main auction items included a trip to Mu- nich, Germany; seven mini-va- cations to Frankenmuth.

Formerly a dark and closed off converted classroom, the develop- ment office took on an open and brighter atmosphere. The change was a drastic one taking place m a short time. When I arrived at Concordia in the summer, I noticed a dramatic difference in the appear- ance and atmosphere of the develop- ment office, Mr. Tim Ewell said. Money for the renovation was do- nated by the estate of Mane Roden- beck, a 1939 graduate of Concordia. The furniture was a gift from the auc- tion and was supplied by Lewis and Christen. Work was done by Old Fort Supply, and the electrical wiring was done by C.M.H. Electric. The office was decorated in maroon tones with highlights of gray which created a traditional Concordia look. The makeover created a more busi- ness-like appearance. In my opinion the refurbishment added to the effectiveness of the pub- lic relations program. It will provide patrons with an atmosphere conducive to comfortable interaction, Ewell said. The central purpose of the develop- ment office was to keep tuition costs as reasonable as possible. Director of Development and Public Relations and Alumni Affairs Dick Katt thought that Lutheran secondary education was a priority for the young men and women of the Fort Wayne community and sur- rounding area. The most important thing was to provide the kids with a Christian edu- cation, Katt said. The Fort Wayne community had always been support- ive of that aim. — Lisa Hively Relaxing in the newly remodeled teachers lounge Mr. Paul Fluegge, Mr. Dave Gemmer and Mr. Gene Falkenstern took time out to talk among friends. tidbits Plum tones invite relaxation time BOOK STORE: — $1,300 was spent on pop and candy. TEACHER STUDENT RATIO: — 1 teacher to 19 students. LUNCHES: — Taco salad was the most popular. The development office assistant Ms. Nancy Leighty talks on the phone in the remodeled Develop- ment office. Leighty was the editor for the Fort Wayne Lutheran news- paper. A pop machine with pop only costing 40 cents, a refrigerator to store lunch and other snacks, new carpet, new furniture, new tables for games and other homework, and chairs, and a new telephone were items found in the newly remodeled teachers ' lounge. The work began on a hot day in August and was completed in November. Much of the new furniture was suppled by Lew- is and Christen, and the electrical work was done by C.M.H. Electric. Despite all of the noticeable additions to the lounge, one positive subtraction stood out also. The teachers ' mailboxes were moved from the lounge and into the mam office which helped to make it quieter. I found it relaxing to sit in there during my off classes. It was cozy and quiet, said Mrs. Kathy Algrim. The teachers lounge was really plush, and the carpet made it nice. I didn ' t always get to use the lounge that often because of the bookstore, but I thought it was nice, said Mr. Wayne Panning. The new furniture made the lounge nice. It was a great place to get away from all of the noise, said Mr. Steve Lehenbauer.

We raised about $200,000 in fundraisers. — Director of Devel- opment. Dick Katt Bathroom puffers smoked out A new sight appeared throughout the halls at CLHS. Gone were the days when students could roam the halls. And gone were the days when students were trusted to walk to the library by themselves. There was only one expla- nation for the long line ol students heading down the halls, being led by an adult. A new rule requiring teachers to escort their assigned study hall stu- dents to the library went into effect in the fall. Maybe the library rule was neces- sary. I sort of thought there should have been a way that they could keep people from roaming the halls without penalizing everybody, said |unior Hei- di Stennfeld. Walking to the library with a teacher was pretty pointless. I thought. I suppose they needed the rule for the people who skipped out. but it wasn ' t fair to everybody. said junior Kathy Rodkey. Ms. Amy Holtslander was one of the teachers who believed that the rule was necessary. I thought it was un- fortunate for the students that we had to resort to this, but it was important that they went to the library, and some of them didn ' t. The new rule was effec- tive and achieved its purpose, despite the complaints of the students. said Holtslander. — Lisa Hively Reading the newspaper, junior Rob Dillman uses library facilities dur- ing his fifth-hour study hall.

They needed something interesting! — Senior, Al Brothers Elephants go off to lick their wounds Lots of good news, not much sus- pense. This simple phrase could have been the theme for the local elections in November. • There was not a whole lot of com- petition between many of the offices this year. Dan Figel won the sheriff ' s race by a long shot, Dan Coats won the job of U.S. Representative for the 4th District, and, basically, that was how it was throughout the whole election. Not too many unknowns came out win- ners. The elections really weren ' t that exciting; almost everything was expect- ed, said sophomore Kim Klausmeier. Though some people thought there was not much excitement locally when it came to the elections, many of them agreed that the national election seemed to create more excitement. This excitement had to do with the Democratic party. In the elections, the Democrats won control over the Sen- ate, which would possibly cause prob- lems for President Reagan. But not all people agreed with this statement. I really doubted that the Demo- Celebrating his re-election, incum- bent sherrif Dan Figel, a Republi- can, speaks to the press. Figel beat police chief David Rieman for the sheriff ' s job by over 20,000 votes. cratic party controlling the Senate would change anything very much. Reagan still had too much overall pow- er for it to make much of a difference, but it could make it more of a chal- lenge to pass things, The Congress and Supreme Court were just there for when he makes stupid mistakes, said Steve Lehenbeauer, math department teacher. — Julie Chickedantz Local News I. Jones — up in smoke Massive smoke clouds floated in the sky over the north side of town. Yet this smoke was different — it had a seemingly different color to it and where there ' s smoke, there ' s fire. It was smoke from this fire that set many people in a panic on September 9, 1986. On this day, at the I Jones Recycling Plant, people fled as the fire and police departments evacuated the nearby area, including Glenbrook Square. The smoke that caused all the com- motion developed at the chemical recy- cling plant during treatment proce- dures. These recycling procedures were being done by specific waste n chemicals so they wouldn ' t be hazard- ous. When the fire broke out, a white smoke was given off, supposedly haz ardous, and the surrounding area was evacuated. Though the smoke from this fire ended up being just simple sodium chloride (salt), the city ordered the plant closed because of unsafe condi- tions. The plant should have been closed for good because if what you were treating was harmful, then a harmful fire could result that could hurt a lot of people, said sophomore Carrie Blad. — Julie Chickedantz Facing bankruptcy and foreclosure, the Hilton city. is being paid for by the Penny pool drained away too quickly for Hilton Crummy, run down buildings, pot holes in the street, and bums sleeping in the alleys were all signs of a deteriorating city. This was not the reputation Fort Wayne wanted to get. Because of this reputation, city offi cials came up with the idea to reno vate downtown with a luxury hotel When the Hilton Hotel opened on Octo ber 11, 1985, Fort Wayne just couldn cope with its luxury hotel. Fifteen months after its opening in 1985, the 18.2 million dollar Hilton faced bank- ruptcy and foreclosure. The problem in a city of Fort Wayne ' s size was that you couldn ' t build a luxury hotel unless a lot of public money was willing to go in and was willing to be lost. said co-devel- oper Bob Joblin. . This was not the problem in the case of Fort Wayne ' s Hilton, which was built almost entirely with bor- rowed money. It had a $10 million bond issue, a $3 million dollar grant After a lawsuit, the I. Jones Chemi- cal Recycling Plant reopened for further use of treatment proce- dures. The city filed the lawsuit be- cause of unsafe conditions, as a re- sult of a fire earlier this year. from the Fort Wayne Fine Arts Founda- tion and Central Improvement plus an additional $5.15 million. I really thought that the city should have put as much money and effort into promoting Fort Wayne as a convention city as it did into financing the hotel. Also, with that large of an investment at stake, it should have improved the hotel ' s management be- fore problems occurred. said Ms. Cheryl Dehmlow. The problems had to do with the developers themselves. It was the de- velopers that lacked the money, not the Hilton itself. When new hotels were built, they often lost money the first couple of years, so they relied on a cash reserve, from the developers, to survive these years. The Hilton ' s prob- lem was that its reserve was too small for it to make its mortgage payments and pay for its supplies. I thought the Hilton situation was really unfortunate. I just hoped that the city didn ' t end up paying for the whole thing, because then our taxes would most likely go up. I just f that they would get thing as soon as possible. said Mr. Don Reinking. — Julie Chickedantz u - Americans get slap in face; cocaine is fatal It was suddenly clear: cocaine, the glamour drug, could kill even the light user. This fact was brought to the attention of a country in the midst of a drug epidemic by the deaths of two young athletes. Twenty-two year old Len Bias was a basketball standout of the University of Maryland. I ' d like to buy a Mer- cedes, Bias said when he was sum- moned to play on his dream team, the world champion Boston Celtics. In the same week, Bias was drafted to play on the Celtics, and made a 1.6 million dollar deal to endorse Reebok athletic shoes. About 40 hours after being drafted, while celebrating with friends in his dorm, Bias was dead of a co- caine-induced heart attack. On the day the children mourned, I hope they learned, said Reverend Jesse Jackson at Bias ' s funeral. Eight days later, just before he was to marry his college sweetheart, Cleve- land Brown safety Don Rogers, 23, was also killed by a cocaine overdose. One of Roger ' s teammates said, I was supposed to be a groomsman at his wedding ... Now I would be a pall- bearer at his funeral. I hope that people who used drugs or who have thought of using them learned from those who have ruined their life with them; that they realized they are not playing with some harm- less toy, said junior Chad Vannatta. A surge of anger spread across the country, and a direct effect of the tragedies was President Reagan ' s or- der that all government employees be tested for drug use. Another was the 1.7 billion Anti-drug Act of 1986, which Congress passed to fight drug abuse. Government employees should have been tested; they couldn ' t have been doing a good job if they were high, said junior Michele Bultemeier. — Brent Doerffler Anguish of a young brother ' s death is shown on the face of James Bias, Jr. His father offered James sup- port after the funeral of the future Celtic basketball player. tidbits Global voyage fulfills fantasy NUMBER ONES ROCK VIDEO: Sledgehammer ' Peter Gabriel TV SERIES: Bill Cosby Show BOX OFFICE MOVIE: Top Gun Recovering from a less-than-per- fect take off and surviving typhoon Marge, the Voyager is described as a huge, man-made dragonfly. The Voyager was the first aircraft to make it around the world. Sketched on a napkin in a restaurant nearly six years ago, a dream was concocted; a radical dream of soaring around the world in an air craft. But this trip had never been attempted before, and Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager were the ones who pursued this 26,000 mile journey in ten days. Careful planning and construction were needed in order for this dream to be accomplished. The craft had to be light and also carry large amounts of fuel to make it around the world. In order to do this, a special formula for fuel was developed, and the body of the plane was constructed of the mate- rial used for tennis rackets. When de- signing the craft, the designer left a cockpit space the size of a telephone booth set on its side. In this space, Rutan and Yeager were to guide the course of the plane. It was hard to believe that a small, lightweight plane, like the Voyager, made it around the world in one piece. I was also amazed at how they (Rutan and Yeager) lasted that long in such a cramped space. I would have freaked out! exclaimed senior Traci Douglass. — Brent Doerffler National News rsting over New York Harbor, the largest display of fireworks ever lights up the skies in celebration of i Statue of Liberty ' s one hundredth birthday. New York ' s pride and joy is 100 Bursts of brilliant reds, yellows and blues adorned the clear summer skies over New York City. Six million people crowded around New York Harbor, and millions more watched the extravagan- za on television. The spectacular bursts were part of the largest display of fireworks ever. There were tall ships from all over the country, an interna- tional naval review, a mass swearing-in of new citizens, and Hollywood-style song and dance. The center of attention of this na- tional party was the celebration of the Statue of Liberty ' s one hundredth birthday. Showing off her freshened up exterior and newly gilded torch, Miss Liberty stood through it all. As a gift from France designed by Frederic Au- guste Bartholdi in 1886. Miss Liberty has survived five wars and 18 presi- dents. The 69 million dollar renovation was begun in 1980 when the Statue of Liberty — Ellis Island Foundation was formed. I was happy they took the time to restore the Statue of Liberty. It was a part of America that generation after generation would be astounded by and stand in awe of.

Also commenting on the breakup, George Michael said, (It was) the most ami- cable split in pop history. The breakup of WHAM! topped the year in music, as did the Conspiracy of Hope Amnesty International con- cert, the drug addiction of Boy George, and the invasion of rap music in Lon- don. In July, Britain held its biggest ever Hip Hop Festival in Wembly Arena, with names like James Brown, Run- D.M.C., Kurtis Blow, and LL Cool J topping the list. Rap music and the like swept through London, making it an American invasion. Tina Turner was the subject of a cover feature in Tat- tler, a British magazine, and was dubbed the Queen of black music. Making the headlines over the sum- mer was the Amnesty International concert headed by Sting and U2. The cause was international human rights. The domination of Talking Heads ' lead singer David Byrne capped off the year in music. After completing the movie Stop Making Sense, Byrne began concentrating on his second movie, True Stories. In Ireland, a concert called Self-Aid, was held with the profits going to the nation ' s unemployed. Topping the bill of native acts were U2, the Boomtown Rats, Van Morrison, the Pogues, and Cactus World News. Also in the news over the summer was London ' s Boy George.

A minute was only 60 seconds, but the small seconds added up when they were spent after school, before school, or even on the weekend doing things related to school. People who were in clubs experienced this, and even those who weren ' t in them knew about the time that clubs required. The minutes spent, and even the clubs themselves, were small things that made a difference. I was in the soccer club, and I enjoyed making the time to play. It took a lot of my time, but it was worth it, said junior Derek Kreitenstein. Being in a club gave me the feeling of belonging to a group, said senior Maria Beitz. I liked being in the art club because it was different than just hanging around with people you see during class or in the halls. With the people you see in clubs you have something special in common, but with the others you really don ' t; you all are in the club because you enjoy doing the same thing, said junior Lisa Hively. Approximately 34% of the students weren ' t in a club at all. The only club I ' m in is ' homework. ' I always have too much to do to be in a club; it might be fun though, said junior Christy Brink. Clubs were filled with people who were interested in the same thing.

It all started on Concor- dia Day. The teachers stressed to student council president, Bob Bortz, and stu- dent council treasurer, Don Goeglein, that creativity was one feature that needed to be included in the announce- ments on the day for prospec- tive freshmen enrolling the fol- lowing year. We weren ' t sure how it would go over, but we tried it anyway. The reaction from the eighth graders was good, so we decided to try it on the rest of the school, said Goeglein. Creativity in announce- ments given by people other than the administration added a small but special touch to Rockin ' Dancin ' duo hit the morning. I always en- joyed it when an announce- ment could make me smile in the morning. When I heard the same voice day after day ad- vertising this and that, I didn ' t always listen. When it was someone different who took the time to make up some- thing special, I thought the event was something I should take a second look at, said freshman Heather Zurcher. Parliamentary procedure was a feature stressed during the council meetings. By us- ing parliamentary procedure, the president was able to con- trol the meeting better, said secretary Maria Beitz. Being a student council rep- resentative wasn ' t just some- thing you were elected to but a responsibility. Representa- tives were expected to help do things such as cleaning up af- ter dances, said Beitz. A new student council spon- sor helped bring in another new set of ideas.

These five- and ten-point items were common to most houses, like junk mail, a most- ly used bar of soap, and an Sardines Pop tabs Blue yarn expired coupon, but the items worth 15 points were the un- usual finds. These rare finds included an empty sardine can and a 1961 penny.

Regular vis- its to art shows made people aware of the developing art program in Fort Wayne, and it gave them the chance to do something about it, said Mrs. Kathy Algrim, art club spon- sor. Art club gave its members a chance to develop their talents outside of class. Art club worked great with the art classes. It gave people who didn ' t have time in their sched- ules a chance to develop their talents on their own, said Al- grim. Science club was busy do- ing many unpredictable activi- ties during the year. One such activity was going to see the movie Star Trek IV. At the theater, we all tried to do the wave, and it worked! said se- nior Kirk Dailey. According to Mr. Jeff Lim- mer, the science club had one goal, and that was to try to see the universe as God created it and to discover what a won- derful place it was. Everyone at CLHS was a member of the science club; there were active and inactive members, said Limmer. — Sherry Bredemeyer ART CLUB: FRONT ROW: Holly Da- vis. Jennifer Mather, Lisa Hrvely. Amy Drew.

Art Club Science Club CL Jazz Band Singers Bells HS Musicians strive for some variety The halls were alive with the sound of music. Although the music could be heard, its cre- ators weren ' t necessarily seen. Singers, jazz band, and bells kept a low profile around school. I tried to keep jazz band pretty low key; if I had wanted more attention, I could have gotten it, said Mr. Paul Wills. The jazz band provided the opportunity for band members to learn and present a different style. The purpose of the jazz band was to give band mem- bers a chance to develop a new style, and have some fun with it, stated Wills.

It ' s different from most other clubs at Concordia, and it ' s a great way to spend your time, said junior Darcy Robinson. According to Mr. Tim Kinne, the top choral group at Con- cordia was the Singers. The Singers were not only respect- ed here at Concordia but also throughout Fort Wayne. The singers were known in the Fort Wayne community as a good small ensemble, and had been booked up since October, said Kinne. The students who were in singers were in it for the sake of singing, not for the recogni- tion that happened to come with it. I auditioned for singers be- cause I enjoyed singing; it of- fered a different variety of mu- sic, and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun, said junior Mari Ebert. The members of these groups used their music to give praise to G od. Singing was a definite part of our praise-giving, said Kinne. — Elizabeth Nash .46 Jazz Band SMh Direcled by Mr. Tim Kinne. the Cham- ber Singers performed Christmas songs at the Thursday night preview parly tor the auction.

HS Performers communicate with jest Anxiety hit. The heart beat grew louder and louder, faster and faster, hands sweat, as the face grew hot. These feel- ings were all felt at one time or another by both speech team members and members of Im- prov. The speech team ended with a good record, especially since it was their first year. Our only goal was to never be last. I knew we could do that, but we were not blown away as much as I thought we might be, said coach Mr. Dave Kusch. The speech team won a trophy, and some stu- dents received ribbons. What made this (speech team) fun was the people in- volved, especially those from other schools, said junior Mike Settlemyre. Conquer Anxiety Performer Improv ' s activities included a group trip to Stratford, On- tario, and the viewing of two plays: ' The Boys from Syra- cuse ' and Shakespeare ' s ' Winter ' s Tale. ' In Fort Wayne some club members went to see Camelot at the Embassy Theater with dinner at Mr. Kusch ' s beforehand. Improv was responsible foi some of the skits performec during chapel services. My favorite part about Improv was my part as the traveling sales- man in the chapel skit ' Five Ways to Sell a Vacuum Clean- er, ' said freshman Cara Ca- paraso. What was unique about our group was that anyone fit in. It helped shy people ex- press themselves in a non- pressure situation, said Im- prov president Yvette Garcia. I have gained experience and courage to get up in front of upperclassmen, said Ca- paraso. New to Improv, was the Thespian Society. Once kids had a certain number of points, they became a Thespi- an. It was an honor group within the drama club, said Kusch. — Leslie Wade Freshman Cara Caparaso pulls her toothbrush (Heidi Clevenger) out of the sink (Jenny Clymer and Missy Guf- stafson).

Sweaty palms gripped chair handles and hearts raced. Anxiety accompanied the long wait, but joy, excite- ment, and relief flushed over those that made it. I was near the end, so I started to worry that I wasn ' t going to be on it. I thought I had worked hard for it, and was more relieved than any- thing when I heard my name, said Paula Kuker. When my name was called, I wasn ' t nervous until I went over to read the next card. I was pretty scared that I ' d get Val ' s (Keoun) name and not know how to pro- Zoo trip Service Ushers nounce it, said Gail Kanning. Hours of community volun- teer work had to be complet- ed. One such project was the trip they made to the Fort Wayne Children ' s Zoo. After we took the retarded citizens to the zoo, we brought them back to the Abbott House for a Christmas party. It was such an experience to watch them open their pre- sents; it made us stop and re- alize how lucky we were, said Gwen Kanning. Another group that was known for its volunteer com- munity work was the Key Club. 1986-87 was the first year for this club, and it faced both problems and positive times. There weren ' t that many active people, and we didn ' t have enough service projects to keep us busy. Because of this, it was easy for people to just forget about it, said Les- lie Wade, president of Key Club.

These items constituted some of the basic structures in each of the 49 classrooms, but the physical aspects of the classroom were not the true heart of learning. It was the small things that gave each room, teacher, and student their character and individuality. It was the small things that stuck in the minds of the students, and made their four high school years unique. I really appreciated the little optimistic sayings Mr. Kinne wrote on the choir chalkboard every day. They were uplifting and they helped build self-confidence. Some of the sayings hit me deeply, and they showed me that Mr. Kinne cared, said sophomore Holly Howe. From the dented pencil sharpener to the buzzing of the overhead projector to the motivating posters displayed by teachers — these items contributed to the learning process. The real learning came through teacher-student interaction, and student-student intera ction ... the personal contact, the pat on the back, that small extra effort that showed great concern. Periodically in my computer class, Programming 2, I was on the lost side. It was like learning a new foreign language, and sometimes I was blown away by the harder problems at the end of the chapter.

It was third hour and the music had started to play. This familiar scene was heard three days a week when orchestra met for class. In their second year the orchestra grew 50 percent. The orchestra was grow- ing, with new students com- ing from grade schools each year, said Mr. Ervin Orban, director. Having already learned the sectional show at camp, the varsity band spent the rest of the march- ing season practicing it dur- ing third hour. Learning the entire show took pres- sure off the kids. This year they didn ' t have to worry about cranking the rest of the show after school start- ed, said Mr. Paul Wills, director. To ease some of the stress during band camp, drum major Amy Koeh- linger and field assistant Gail Reddemann used some techniques they learned at camp in July. Moo cow was just one of them. Moo cow was when we used our hands as ant- lers and mooed. It was pret- ty retarded, but it worked. It probably was funny to see us mooing, said senior Ron Boren. The last home football game was the highlight of the marching season. Wills said, The students got into our show and for the first time in nine years, the stu- dents stopped to see what we had to offer.

Giving God the glory; praising Christ ' s name 1 He made us think about what we were singing. He related the words we sang to our everyday lives. He explained the ev- eryday battle that went on between us and Satan. Mr. Kinne was truly sin- cere. To many ol us he was a good friend. — Senior, Paul Nord Music expresses special message of faith in God Number one on the list of pri- orities for the choirs was to keep Christ first and to sing to God ' s glory. These small but important qualities al- lowed the students to ex- press to others what was important to them. When we sang, we gave all of the credit to God; that kept everything in perspec- tive. It also relieved the pressure that we had to be better than anyone else, said senior Gail Kanning. Director Tim Kinne, in his last year of teaching, helped the choirs to keep Christ first. The kids un- derstood where I was com- ing from. We were no longer just singing songs. I ex- plained the Christian mean- ing of the songs so that the music meant something to them, said Kinne. After watching the choir perform, my mom asked, ' Do they really mean what they ' re singing . . . ' Before she could finish, I proudly responded ' Yes!

So what ' s the use of reading it? The use would have certainly helped this student, because guess what — a pop quiz! Learning nouns and pro- nouns, reading and writing weren ' t the only things stu- dents studied. They learned to communicate with each other. Many experienced the fundamentals of learn- ing to make speeches, slide presentations, journals, and other interesting things. Among favorites of many English students and teach- ers was the wide span of things to study, and the ver- satility of the subject.

Something else that was new this year and made the staff better was that one person was designing all the layouts 60 Luminarian for the whole staff; that way a portion of the work load was lifted off the shoulders of the other members of the staff and put on one person. Last year the basics were down; this year we were trying to make it a special book by hav- ing more advanced layouts and making the stories as ad- vanced as they could be, said senior layout editor Brent Doerffler.

One of the main reasons students joined the Lu-Hi was because they thought it would be fun. Many felt it lived up to this expectation. I joined be- cause I liked to write and because I thought it would be a lot of fun. It was great, commented junior b JtCris Radtke. Staff members enjoyed the feeling of accomplish- ment that came with the completion of each issue. The thing I liked the most about Lu-Hi was the feeling I got when we finished an issue because of the ac- complishments and im- provements, stated junior feature editor. Sara Marhenke. I loved seeing my arti- cles in the paper, and knowing that I was a part of Lu-Hi and the final produc- tion, said sophomore Car- men McGee. Aside from all the fun and good feelings, it was also a lot of work and responsibil- ity. Stories had to be rushed to meet deadlines, and communication was made harder by the in- crease of staffers. With the staff doubled it made it harder, more room for mistakes, said Marhenke.

Some stu- dents found P.O.W. diffi- cult and mind straining, while others found them easy. We had P.O.W. to help students solve problems in all areas of math. Once a week we would give stu- dents one or two problems not necessarily in the class they took. They could be geometry, algebra or what- ever, but math in general, said Mr. Don Luepke. In the state of Indiana, Luepke won the Presiden- tial Award. He was recog- nized in math for outstand- ing teaching. I enjoyed math, so I de- cided to take geometry. I thought that it was chal- lenging, and it made me think. It trained my mind to think out problems, said junior Alan Bengs. I took consumer math to help me with finances. We also learned how to bal- ance our checkbooks, Math Department said junior Monica Bear. A t the beginning of the year each student in con- sumer math class was given a list of stocks in which they each chose a company. Ev- ery Friday they looked in the newspaper to see if it went up or down. The Jour- nal Gazette was provided by Mr. Don Ayres. We did the stock ex- change, first because not all students read the whole paper, and this gave them a chance. I thought the stock exchange was interesting. Maybe this would open doors for students that might have wanted to read the stocks later in life. I hoped it was interesting for everyone, said Mr. Glenn Parrish. — Lisa Hively Third hour computer topics stu- dent junior Dave Panning pro- grams the words M.A.S.H. on the screen, and instructs the computer to play the theme song. Senior John Layman helps out. Concentrating to grasp the theory of parabola graphing, junior Mari Ebert looks over the problem be- ing discussed. She was a student in Mr. Don Reinking ' s Algebra 3-4 class. Math Department Typing on one of the new typewrit- ers purchased by the business de- partment, junior Laura Zelt works on a lesson from the book. Stu- dents often came in during their free time to type term papers and reports for classes. Trying to get a typing lesson done for class, sophomore Lesa Rogers uses the older model typewriter. Many students took typing to help them to be able to type when go- ing on to college. New blood blends with old techniques Independent liv- ing taught me a lot of the basics of being on my own. Our class learned to sew and cook in this class. It could have been a fun class if you had the right stu- dents and a good teacher having a great time, — Junior, Carmela Harris Down to business for chefs and executives p j ricked -I gers, clinking machines, burned food, and figured numbers were just a few of the many things that went on in the home economics and busi- ness departments. I took typing because I thought that it might have improved my hand-eye co- ordination and help raise my grades in other classes because of neatness, said freshman Jeff Katt. I decided to take note- taking because I thought it would help me to take notes in college and it sounded fun. said junior Barbara Brothers. Being a new home eco- nomics teacher this year, Mrs. Diane Burgan had ad- justments to make. Before coming to Concordia, Bur- gan taught three-and four- year olds at East Wayne Headstart. Home Economics Business Department ' t ■• rw v My first goal was to be a part of my students learning something new and some- thing of importance to their future lives. I wanted to be accepted by all my stu- dents as a guide to learning more about the vast subject of home economics, said Burgan. Advanced foods was one of the home ec courses tak- en by students who had completed introduction to food and clothing and wanted to continue in the field of home ec. I took advanced foods because I loved food, and it was a good way to end the day. The favorite foods I en- joyed making were candies, cakes, and pies. said se- nior Laura Steffen. — Holly Davis Getting ready to sew together a garment, sophomore Shelly Bur- gette pulls her thread through the machine. A lot of time was spent on a garment to get it to look just right. Enjoying their Thanksgiving din- ner, junior Laura Cook, senior Kathy Schult and junior Leslie Newport finish the food on their plates. Every year the advanced foods class made a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Home Economics D Business Department Giving his fourth-hour physics ' stu- dents a shocking experience. Mr. Limmer uses a Tesla Coil with 100,000 volts of high frequency running through it. Seniors Stefani Meinzen and Richard Korte got a real charge from the experience. Not just toying around, Mr. John Schamber assists senior Pam Heisler in the proper construction of a molecular model in the ad- vanced biology class. Rather than just learning things, we did labs to put what we learned to practical use. said Heisler. High voltage — touch: if daring and at own risk 7 worked on some changes for the lab. I introduced the use of the computer so that instruments used for measuring were hooked up to it in or- der to help with graph- ing and analysis of data. — Mr. Jon Anderson Science Department Curiosity and wisdom, all in a day ' s work The search for sensibleness in the uni- verse is used to describe the meaning of science. God made this universe so perfect that it does make sense and have order, said physics teacher Mr. Jeff Limmer. Students believed the courses in science they took helped them to appre- ciate their environment. Biology and chemistry gave me a much better un- derstanding of my environ- ment, commented junior Julie McMillen. I learned a lot in sci- ence. I needed more ad- vanced courses because not enough is covered in the first year, said junior Scott Reese. Reese planned on major- ing in engineering in col- lege, so he felt a solid sci- ence background was necessary for this. College preparation was a common reason for tak- ing more than just one year of science. I took four years of sci- ence to be better prepared for entrance into medical school, said senior John Dwinell. The three chemistry classes this year didn ' t have a workbook. They in- stead worked more directly from the test. Limmer described sci- ence students as students with curious minds. Mr. Chris Gieschen, earth sci- ence and biology teacher felt students studied more this year. I think it had something to do with computer-picked classes. They didn ' t sit with friends and talk, said Gieschen. — Leslie Wade Explaining the use of a computer in conjunction with lab assign- ments, Mr. Jon Anderson demon- strates a technique for more pre- cise measurement. Juniors Mark Nash, Rob Dillman. Barb Kruse and sophomore Ken Hoffman watched. Demonstrating the proper tech- niques in the sterilization of slides, biology teacher Mr. Chris Gies- chen explains to his first hour stu- dents the transfer of bacteria. Science Department Singing in Spanish harmony soph- omores, Rob Lewis. Jeff Bercot, and Chris Meisner add variety to the third and fourth year Spanish class. The class sang many songs such as Chiquita. With cheerful Christmas spirits members of the French club fresh- man Mindi Luchnenko, sophomore Anne Kilmer, and freshman Deb- bie Mishler join together in making Noel-Grammes for the Christmas holidays. Noel-Grammes were available from December 8 to De- cember 15. Foreign phrases boggle minds of English speakers. 1 ' 1 thought learning a foreign language would help me in the future, especially if 1 were ever to visit a country with a different language, ft would help me learn a little bit about the culture of other countries. — Sophomore, Jenny Teeple 70 Languages Determination proves to be key to communication he sound of clicking against poly- urethane was the familiar noise of the Spanish students working on computer programs. Fourth year class spent time working on Spanish vocabulary. Other pro- grams were based on the S.A.T. Spanish programs. Watching movies dealing with current events and German news were some ways German students re- lated the language to real life. It was interesting to see how other people lived in a different country, said sophomore Kim Cambell. Twenty students were given an opportunity to be involved in GAPP. The Ger- man American Partnership Program allowed students to exchange homes with a student from Germany. Students would stay in a German home and attend a German school for one month. French students did not use textbooks; listening was a main part of learning the language. Teaching without a textbook helped me control their language structure so that I could get the message across, said Mrs. Sandra Tucker. Students also spent time acting out skits pertaining to school activities. Attend- ing a football game or a dance was put into Spanish dialogue and skit. It added a change from our daily routine, said sophomore Jenny Teeple. Latin had fewer students compared to other classes, but it seemed not to be a disadvantage. I liked small classes because you could get to know kids and work with them, said Ms. Amy Holtslander. — Amandia Snell Working diligently, juniors Mark Schmidt, Rick Kienzle, Scott Reese, Steve East, and Alan Bengs listen to Mr. Gene Falken- stern as he teaches out of the In Germany text book. Students learned how to translate German phrases. Joining in the Christmas celebra- tion, senior Matt Stoudt, senior Paul Croxton, Junior Tim Landis. and sophomore Chris Meisner en- joy the refreshments at the Christ- mas party for all foreign language students on December 11. Languages 71 Lecturing to his fifth-hour world history class, Mr. Ed LeBeau tells his students about the decay of Rome. LeBeau also taught U.S. history. This year was the first in fifteen he did not teach government. Explaining the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Paul Fluegge uses senior Ka- ren Ostermeyer ' s book to point out an example. This was his sec- ond year to teach. I knew the stu- dents better this year so it was more fun for me, said Fluegge. Secular speaker opens eyes of future leaders Teachers here did not just go through the book. They made me feel like I was right at the scene of the battle. In the fu- ture I will take what I have learned and put it together in or- der to be a better U.S. history teach- er. — Senior, Jeff Peterson Exploring past helps brighten the future ' m here to tell you about the real world. Graduation is just the beginning, said Mr. Lowell Maxwell, a guest speaker for the government classes. He reemphasized the main purpose of the so- cial studies department, preparing students for our world today. Mr. Paul Fluegge thought Maxwell made some good points. He was someone from the outside world who gave a realistic view from a business ' s stand point. His honesty turned some of the students off, because it seemed discriminatory. He was realistic in some areas, but he was totally from a secular view, said senior Jennifer Mather. Mr. David Gemmer felt a high school economics class was the first step in becoming literate in the world of money. Most American people were eco- nomically illiterate, said Gemmer. They didn ' t un- derstand the world of mon- Social Studies Department ey and finance. Senior Tony Aaron felt the best social studies class offered was economics. I was involved in Junior Achievement, so I was fa- miliar with the theories in- volved, Aaron said. Mr. Ed LeBeau felt it was important to have a good understanding of the world you lived in. If you didn ' t know the past, you couldn ' t under- stand the present and how it affects you, LeBeau said. U.S. history was inter- esting yet a bit biased polit- ically. Our teacher shared childhood experiences and tried to use puns to add hu- mor to the class, said ju- nior Mike Jones. — Leslie Wade Leaning back in his chair. Mr. Gemmer sings Night and Day. I was singing il because Mr. Gall- meier was in the room. The writer of the song. Cole Porter, was from the same city as Mr. Gallmeier. Peru. Indiana, Gemmer said. During fifth-hour psychology class. Mr. Art Pinnow and senior Jenny Sabina entertain her little brother. Joshua. Child psychology was one of the first units studied in psychol- ogy class. Social Studies Department As Mr. Tim Ewell reads the Bible students listen attentively to the reading. This is Ewell ' s first year teaching at Concordia. He not only taught religion class, but was the coordinator of Student Activities. A pleasing sound fills the chapel auditorium as Yvette Garcia. Vicki Elliot. T Irmscher.

It showed me how to care. — Senior John Westra PC ' s famous for a knack in lending a helping hand Doing the wave while shouting Al- le-lu-ia was one of the activities that made chapel services unique. We tried to add a variety of worship that the students would enjoy, said senior Trica Wolfgram. The committee got to- gether this summer and ev- ery two weeks before school. They worked on preparations to make the weekly Wednesday morn- ing services lively. Disruptions during ser- vices were a concern. The people just didn ' t have much respect for others ' worship. They didn ' t realize what they were missing, said senior John Hein. Committee members felt there were few hassles in dealing with guest speak- ers. Most were willing to share when given an oppor- tunity, said Hein. Another related activity was peer counseling. Peer tly 3 1 ► . ■ u Worship Committee Peer Counselors counselors dealt with help- ing students who had prob- lems. Counselors felt this experience helped them in life. It taught me how to be a friend to someone. Be- fore. I didn ' t know how to listen to people ' s problems. It ' s showed me how to care, said senior John Westra. Peer counselors learned to help students through concerns about family rela- tionships, drug problems, sexual problems, and death. Counselors were taught how to welcome and approach a stranger, and a method to make decisions. Peer counselors helped identify with students who were lonely or isolated, said advisor Mr. John Marks. — Amandia Snell Worship Committee: FRONT ROW Heidi Slennleld. Tricia Wollgram.

As the sun crept over the horizon, and all were snug in their warm beds on a chilly 40 degree morning, the Concordia combat drill team was al- ready practicing for their semiannual campout. We met every Saturday morning to learn how to survive on our military campouts. We practiced patrolling, night vision, set- ting up camp, and defend- ing ourselves, said senior Brian Sievers. There were four JROTC classes offered during the day teaching map reading, marksmanship, speech, and leadership skills. Two classes consisted of seniors and freshman, and the oth- ers of juniors and sopho- mores. Junior Philip Fors- berg said, Putting different ages together enabled old- er students to teach differ- ent skills to the younger ones. Outside class was the ri- fle team. Rifles remained 76. JROTC undefeated for the past two years. This record made us one of the best teams in the country, and I was proud to be on the team, said sophomore Barry Jackisch. This year was the first year JROTC used a 40 foot rappelling tower which was used for combat exercise to overcome fear of heights. This winter, Battalion Commander Tony Aaron received the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross award for his achievement in JROTC, classroom, and school ac- tivities. He was top 20 per- cent of his class, and top 10 percent of his military class.

Be all that you can be, join the JROTC. I enjoyed JROTC be- cause through it I was able to mature as a leader. I learned a lot about the mili- tary. Also, many of my friends were in JROTC, and we shared many of the same interests and goals, said Tony Aaron, Lt. Col. Joining the JROTC was the choice of over 100 stu- dents. Many of these stu- dents were involved in mul- tiple extra curricular activities offered, such as the drill teams, the snap squad, and IDR (Infantry Drill and Regulation). I liked IDR a lot! We got to go to drill meets and compete against other mili- tary academies. We dealt I with rifles and rifle move- ments and practiced to look sharp, said freshman Mark Reiter. Performing at drill meets with polished shoes and shiny brass buttons was of much importance when it came to the IDR team. Drill meets were a key event of the co-ed squad. The co-ed team also per- formed during halftime at some of the home boys ' basketball games. Co-ed was a lot of fun. We had a great command- er, and the team was made up of a bunch of cool girls.

Outside-reading options in the Learning Center include local newspapers, as junior Rob Peter- son discovers during his study hall. Expressive ideas Teach ing culture for future skills I loved art; you could use your imagination on ev- erything you creat- ed, and it gave you a chance to get away from school work and pressures of ev- eryday life. When I created something, I put myself into it and got as messy as I wanted. — Junior, Donita Bolinger Teacher-and-technique variety builds skills An unfamiliar voice echoed down the hall near the art room, and only students in art knew why. Mrs. Joan Grossman was taking time off due to her pregnancy, and someone had taken her place. The new voice be- longed to Mrs. Kathy Algrim. Algrim said she liked Concordia from the start. I especially liked the Chris- tian atmosphere. It ' s very conducive to learning and provides a healthy life style, said Algrim. Students reactions to the new art teacher were positive. Mrs. Algrim was a great teacher. She increased my appreciation and knowl- edge while at the same time increasing my skill, said senior Amy Bruick. From the field of art to the field of learning, stu- dents had the opportunity to increase their knowledge while increasing their skill. The Learning Center Art Department Learning Center -x taught the basic reading skills, writing, and funda- mental math. It was a place where students who were having troubles in a certain area could go for help. The Learning Center was a place for one-on-one contact with the students, where I tried to help them achieve their academic goals, said Mrs. Shirley Jordan, Learning Center instructor. The Learning Center re- ceived new material this year from the National As- sociation for Secondary School Principals to help develop better study habits. — Lori Young In the fifth hour Craft class sopho- mores Carmen Capenter, and Shelly Burgette. and junior Donita Bolinger receive assistance from Mrs. Algrim as they experiment with their paper-making project.

Guidance helps students gain information One of the most im- portant reasons why we had the career awareness programs was so that students would appreciate what other people did in the commu- nity. — Guidance Counselor Mrs. Evelyn Crownover Clown wows crowd with silent message of love ooking into the crystal ball, I see, I see the Fu- ture, of many students. A good outlook too. What might I see? Another dollar please. The career aware- ness and guidance pro- grams helped students to anticipate their futures. I really liked the career awarenesses. I thought they would bore me, but they turned out to be inter- esting, said freshman Richard Cummins. This year, an out-of-the- ordinary kind of career awareness program was given. Floyd Shaffer, clown minister, writer of I Wish I Were a Clown, spoke to students. Shaffer had the special job of dressing up as a clown to make other people feel good and laugh. Shaffer gave an explana- tion of what he did and why, as he dressed up and with- out talking, relayed his mes- sage of loving the Lord. Shaffer said there were indi- rect ways in which he got Career Awareness Guidance his point across. His make- up was symbolic with each color meaning something different: white, a symbol of death and red, a symbol of life. Like the career aware- ness program, the guidance program was concerned with the students ' futures. One of the things I did was help students get through high school. I tried to make sure they graduat- ed and made the right plans for the future, said guid- ance director Mr. Carl Gallmeier. I thought we had a good guidance program because Mr. Gallmeier was there to talk to anytime, said soph- omore Anne Kilmer. — Julie Chickedantz Looking on a transformer being assembled at WATT Transformer Factory in Muncie Indiana, senior Jeff Roth and junior Scott Reese watch attentively.

They had to find a new location for bowling due to the tearing down of the Northcrest Bowling Alley. Bowling was great be- cause you always compet- ed against other people, and you got to use comput- ers instead of figuring out your own scores, said se- nior Sally Bredemeyer. Concordia dropped the Advanced Girls P.E. and one Weightlifting class for the first time since the classes were offered, but the classes were still con- sidered important. Every- one should keep physically fit, especially those people who aren ' t in athletics, be- cause they didn ' t get enough exercise that is re- quired daily, said Mr. Craig Hoffman, weightlifting instructor. Also involved in physical matter were students down the hall in drafting and con- struction classes when drills, sanding machines, flying dust filled the air. It feels good to com- pelte my work especially when I don ' t copy it and it comes from my mind, said junior John Werling. Many students took the classes to prepare for fu- ture careers, and to learn new skills.

I can ' t crash! On July 4 in Paris, France, The Tour de France bi- cycle race began. This race took 23 days to complete 4,100 miles. The race was between two people, LeMond and Bernard Hmault. Both were members of the same team, and before the race had even begun Hmault had promised to help lead LeMond on to victory. Hmault proved, once the race began, that he was only in it for himself; he had no intention of letting LeMond win. On day 23, LeMond was able to win the race, even without Hmault ' s help. I was really excited when LeMond won the race. It made it even better that he did it on his own, said Jon Adair. — Heidi Biebench After completing day 17 of the race, Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault cross the finish line.

To tell you the truth, it isn ' t worth the material it ' s made on, but it ' s the thing memories are made of, said senior Tom Mueller. I went to the concert because I love Genesis. It turned out that the concert was terrible! They didn ' t play many songs that were new and there were too many instrumental and so- los, said senior Chris Miller.

The possibilities for friendship bracelets were limitless, as was seen on the wrists and ankles of the student body. I got some friendship bracelets from friends and one from my sister. I made myself a yellow one out of em- broidery string. They could have been made out of anything, though. I even had one made out of paper clips, said junior Cory Wietfeldt. Friendship bracelets were to be worn all the time. They were even worn in the shower. I thought they were really neat. They showed your friends that they were something spe- cial to you. I especially liked the ones that were out of the ordinary, said junior Tncia Gibson. — Lisa Hively .86.

At the bot- tom of the paper was the barely recog- nizable signature of a parent (done by the student). My ultimate goal in life was to have the counter in student services covered with glass and have a copy of every parent ' s signature underneath to catch the forgeries, said Mrs. Nancy Murphy. Although there was the fear of be- ing caught, the lure of relaxing, and watching TV, sometimes outweighed the fear of the consequences. Sometimes I went out to lunch, and sometimes I went to Anderson (College), said senior Paula Kuker. One day when all of the other schools were out, I skipped school and went to a party with some of my friends. My mom thought we didn ' t have school and never found out, said one anonymous freshman. — Michelle Dorothy The danger of signing out unex- cused sometimes wasn ' t enough to stop potential skippers.

Eyelids were heavy, sweat was running down the back of the neck, and the feeling of drifting off into never-never land was taking over during the boring lecture during the sixth period. When it was too hot, I couldn ' t concentrate on my work because I was so uncom- fortable, said sophomore Christine Sorg. After high summer temperatures turned, cold complaints surfaced again about the temperature of classrooms. I always looked forward to going to physics because I knew it was going to be warm in there, said junior Peter Horstman. I always had to ask Mr. Lehen- bauer if I could go get my coat during my fourth hour computer class be- cause it was so cold in there, said senior Vel Stowe. — Julie Chickedantz and Lori Young Sliding a Pink Floyd disc in his new compact disc player, junior Matt Klage spends time listening to discs.

I liked having the dance at the end of the marathon because we proved to the school that we could make it. But I remembered not being able to get out of bed the whole next day, said senior Mark McCrory. I didn ' t like sleeping on the gym floor because I had to sleep on all the sand and dirt, said senior Chris Miller.

Jolt Cola made its initial appearance in the Mid-West in late 1986, and slow- ly the word was spread. This cola, manufactured by the Jolt Cola Compa- ny, contained the same amount of sug- ar and twice the caffeine than any other soft drink on the market. Instead of having to drink three Mountain Dews, one Jolt did the trick and revital- ized. This factor provided consumers with a jolt of energy from each 12 ounce can. I was introduced to Jolt through Jeff Hamnck. We had gone to Chicago for the day, and we went into a Wal- greens there and bought a six pack, said senior Marlena Meyer. Even though Jolt ' s exposure was slow to spread, curiosity and a sense of adventure drew teen consumers to try a sip of cola from the bright red alummmum can, with the bolt of white lightening through the o in Jolt. I discovered Jolt while watching David Letterman do ' New Products, ' one night because he introduced Jolt Cola, said junior Jeff Hamnck.

This is something that the average student didn ' t consider very significant but for those athletes who have been in need of a remedy for shin splints, weak knees, weak ankles, or just support, this wonder tape was frequently the answer. Wrapping tape became a small thing that made a big difference. In the beginning of the season I fell and twisted my ankle. I used tape after that, and it kept the ankle from being bent the way it would hurt. It saved me from a season of pain, said senior Angela Hazelett. There were many small things that made a difference in athletics. They ranged from the support of a friend, to the band and pom pons and from encouraging parents to managers. The managers made a difference on our team because they not only cheered for us, but they also put in a lot of hard work. We couldn ' t work without them, said junior Dave Lepper. I thought having support from friends was important. When they were behind the team, it made a difference, and that encouragement was a huge moral boost, said junior Amy Scott. Sporting events were a small way in which students could break away from the ordinary routine and be wild. Games relieved much of the stress by getting away from homework and screaming your head off for an hour or two, said Lepper. — Michelle Dorothy Watching from the sidelines. senior Greg Zelt listens to Coach Fluegge ' s advice on an offensive play as Coach Davis looks on.

The highlight of the season was their last home game against Bishop Luers. They got what they wanted, another win. We really wanted to win badly, and we did. We were so pumped up, and we showed our full potential, stated ju- nior Carrie Hawk. Some of the goals set up at the beginning of the year were achieved by this team. We wanted to win half of our games and have 90 percent serving efficiency. We did achieve our goal of efficiency — we ended the season with 94 percent, said junior Laura Zelt. The goals were set so that we could reach our fullest po- tential, and we did, stated Nash. Keeping in touch with the lit- tle things that count, the team had a very special way of showing their support of each other. They each had a secret pal for whom they bought just something little. The gifts were not always something they would hold on to forever, just a token of cheer up or good luck. We sent just little things, like flowers, candy, or just a card to cheer someone up, or just wished them good luck before a game. The idea was great! It was a lot of fun and also encouraging when you re- ceived something from some- one.

It was like that all year — the team was close. ' ' — Freshman Brenda Kiess T earns set to victory New coaches bring new team victories As the whistle blew and cheers went up every- where, teammates hugged each other, and more than one high five was seen. The freshman volleyball team had won another game. For the fourth year in a row, the Concordia freshman team had a new coach. The combination of new coach and new team was successful, and they com- pleted the season with a win- ning record of 12-4. The reserve volleyball team faced a similiar situation as Pam Eastman became the new reserve coach, and the Cadet team ended up with a winning season. The team came out really strong in the beginning and they pulled it out in the end, said Eastman. There was a bad slump in the middle of the season and everyone was really mentally down, but they overcame it and won their next couple of games to complete the season with a winning re- cord of 10-9, said Eastman. Debi Louis, who previously coached on the college level, came to Concordia as the new freshman coach and sparked friendship and closeness among team members. She was more of a friend than a coach. She tried to make even the hard and bor- ing stuff fun, said freshman Jamie Diehm. For both the freshman and reserve teams, the season was highlighted by many close, tough, games.

The freshman season also was dotted with an occasional easy win. I loved playing the game against Harding because we killed them. It was so much fun, said Diehm. Volleyball proved to be a sport in which small things made a difference.

And so it was, on Friday, Septem- ber 12, the transformation oc- curred, and the Cadets slid by Harding with a 7-6 victory. With three minutes remain- ing in the fourth quarter, the players made two touchdown attempts while only a few yards from their goal. First, they fumbled the ball on the five yard line, and later lost possession of the ball on the eighth. With 1:14 remaining in the game, the Cadets were losing 0-6. Attempting a touchdown for their fourth time in three minutes, junior quarterback, Dave Lepper bombed the ball into the arms of Bob Bortz, who ran it in for a touchdown tieing up the game 6-6. As kicker, Craig Linnemeier hadn ' t kicked the ball in previ- ous games. I knew that if I missed we would go into over- time and have a chance at los- ing. When I kicked the ball, I watched it go low. I glanced over to the crowd and they were screaming, yelling, and standing up. Then I looked back to the referees and they had their hands up, which meant I had made the extra point. If we wouldn ' t have won against Harding, it would have put a real standstill on our sea- son, said manager Julie Cordes. When time ran out on the clock, the final score was Con- cordia 7, Harding 6. The fans poured out on the field to con- gratulated the team, and joined together as Coach Fluegge had a prayer. Senior guard Jeff Roth said, My dad was going crazy in the stands. When we won, my parents ran out onto the field and congrat- ulated me. Besides the fans going cra- zy, the coaches showed their excitement also. I thought it was neat how excited the coaches got because they wanted us to win so badly, said senior guard Marc Schroeder. The coaches were the team ' s biggest fans. They loved us, and we loved them, said senior halfback Bob Bortz. On the bus ride back to school, team members de- scribed the ride as: excel- lent, terrific great, row- dy, screaming, yelling, singin, pounding hands on the ceiling, and going crazy. The team and fans celebrat- ed their victory at Pizza Hut. It was exciting going there af- ter the game because Snider, Dwenger, and Woodlan were there and asked if we had lost our game. We were so proud to say ' No, we beat Harding, ' said junior, kicker, Craig Linnemeier. Mad Dog, Ice Man, Tex, Hoppy, Fuji, Skipp, and Crip sound like a bunch of names, but when they were put to- gether they made up the Ca- det varsity football team. Se- nior captains Bob Bortz and Don Goeglein made the ALL- S.A.C. team, with seniors Jeff Roth and Marc Schroeder, and juniors Dave Lepper, and Tim Graham made honorable mention. The 1986 football team was the start of a suc- cessful football tradition at CLHS, said senior halfback Bob Bortz. — Kelly Rhodes When we first started having devotions I didn ' t really listen too closely, but then all of a sudden I realized that God was the key to success in anything I tried to do. Then I started paying attention. — Freshman. Chad Applegate J esus seen in huddle Amidst crushing heads Christ shines Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6:13) The above verse was the basis of one of the eight pre- game devotions given in the locker room of the freshmen football team. The devotions we had helped to give me con- fidence before I went out onto the field. They made me think that God could all of a sudden make me as strong as Goliath if that ' s what He thought needed to happen, said freshman lineman Greg Marcom. Years ago a college football player shared with a nun the fact that a big game was com- ing up, and the odds of his team winning were very low. The nun then gave him a statue of St. Jude, telling him that St. Jude would help him if he asked during the game. The boy used the concept the nun had suggested, but in- stead of asking the statue to help, he went straight to God. The freshmen football team put this story into practice. They went straight to God, as the boy in the story, and asked for aid directly. In my devo- tions I tried to pick out a word from the concordance and find verses in the Bible that could be applied to life and to football, said Coach Art Pinnow. The freshmen went to run- ning the same plays offensive- ly and defensively as the varsi- ty so that when the underclass players reached varsity level they would be more experi- enced with the way things were done. Protecting the ball with his arms, line- man Kirk Mader successfully com- pletes a reception. Mader ran for a gain of eight yards and led the team to a first down. This was Mader ' s first year of play. I saw the freshmen team running and learning the same series of plays beneficial later on. Once the freshmen players reached varsity level, we were able to spend precious prac- tice time on a small amount of review and, more importantly, on the carrying out of the plays in game situations, said head coach Paul Fluegge. I had to spend a lot of time learning the plays. It would have helped me out if all the other guys on the team would have learned the plays as freshmen, said Kirk Mader. — Heidi Bieberich Freshmen Reserve Football After a successlul pass from Craig Linnemeier, sophomore Chuck Werth makes a touchdown.

Linnemeier also served as the Cadet ' s field goal kicker. The Cadets lost to Dwenger 21-8.

After overcoming Snider, their next major hurdle be- came the match against Dwenger. This match was for first place in SAC. Because this was such an important match, they prepared a little differently. We got out of school earlier than usual so we ' d have more time to warm up and get pumped up, said Doster. Although they lost the match they still tied for first in SAC. They also advanced in Sectionals, where they met Dwenger again. This time the Concordia team stressed mental prepa- ration more. We were more determined to win because we ' d lost the first time. The game is all psychological so we spent a lot of time psych- ing ourselves up, stated Doster. Doster was the only player to advance past Sectionals.

I enjoyed the personal competition of trying to beat my own scores. — Junior, Darcy Robinson ■ H Regional vs. district Pressure decision tore Reddemann almy breezes swept over the scene as ten girls, about 1 10 clubs, and a multitude of golf balls hit the turf to work through 18 holes of golf. Many of the girls agreed that fan participation usually was very low because the fans had to walk along the entire golf course to be able to see the team. I never really saw any kind of fans. Sometimes parents would walk along though. It would have been nice to have some support from the fans, said junior Julie Spall. A multitude of small things contributed to the girls ' golf team ' s improved record, despite the absence of fans. The team held summer prac- tices, and they also played ev- ery day after school at Lake- side Park, until six o ' clock. In addition to these extras, many girls took private lessons during the summer to further improve their game. I took lessons three times a week for about two and a half months, said freshman Ra- chel Eilbacher. Though the team itself didn ' t have many major set- backs during the year, junior Gail Reddemann did. She qualified for regional competi- tion, but golf regionals hap- pened to be the same day as band district competition. This created a problem for Reddemann because as field assistant, she didn ' t want to let the band down, but she also wanted to participate in golf regionals. After much thought Reddemann decided to go to band districts. One factor that made this decision very difficult was that if the band would have per- formed 15 minutes earlier, Reddemann could have made it to regionals. When that Sat- urday came, the weatherman predicted rain and the band district competiton was can- celled. It was impossible for Reddemann to register for the golf regionals at such a late date because an alternate had already been called. I was very, very disap- pointed because golf is such an inconsistent sport that this might have been my only shot at regionals. I would have had a good chance of faring very well there, probably the best opportunity I could get for go- ing to state, Reddemann said. — Julie Chickedantz, Lisa Hi- vely, Katie Wasson Working on her putting technique, ju- nior Pam Tritch concentrates on the stength of her swing.

Feelings of anxiety, nervousness, and but- terflies began to disappear as the girls ' cross country team headed towards the finishline. Most runners had mixed emotions before a race. I was anxious to get the race over with, but I was nervous be- cause I wanted to do good. Then I started to feel like I wasn ' t psyched up for the race, said freshman Allison Staak. The team competed in six major meets. At the section- SRSBgg! als, the team and fans had doubts about the team ' s con- fidence. During the prayer, I began to cry because I knew the season would end in the next eighteen minutes, said senior co-captain Kelly Rhodes. Then during the race, my dad said, ' Push it Kelly, this is your last race! ' I pushed it and I passed a lot of people. During the sectionals, I moved from 4th to 3rd on the team, said Rhodes. Personal goals were set by the individual runners on the team. My goal for the season was to make the All SAC team, and I did that. I was very happy about making the team, said senior co-captain Elaine Drees. I wanted to letter this year and I am glad that I did, said sophomore Julie Chickedantz. Cross, country was unlike any other sport according to Rhodes. Everyone respected each other. I looked up to the other runners as much as they Anxiously awaiting fellow teammates to run past them, sophomores Katie Harris and Julie Chickedantz cheer them on. looked up to me; it was great! The team was really close compared to the other teams I had participated on here at CLHS. I believe that cross country represented the CLHS attitude, said Rhodes. Competition was tough mainly because of the Top Seven Board. The board showed who was running in what position during the sea- son. The board was kept cur- rent by Coach Craig Hoffman. The top seven board made you want to do better, and the rest of the team pushed you. It also helped me run faster, said Staak. The team finished their sea- son with Regionals at North Manchester. We were really lucky to go. None of us ex- pected to go. We all had a good time; it was great! said Chickedantz. — Sherry Bredemeyer Girl ' s Cross Country BfcJ Q think it was a really great season.

The stride is increased just that little bit; the arms start to pump harder and harder: I gotta get him ... We had the talent to do really well, we possibly could have gone to semi-state, but our 4th and 5th runners got sick. That put us out of the running real fast, said senior captain Eric Hoffman. Sickness. This was one of the factors that kept the boys ' cross country team from reaching their goals. In the middle of the season, senior Jon Adair came down with mono. Then, the week before sectionals, sophomore Todd Hullinger got the flu. The guys ' team didn ' t make it past that meet. I thought that we could have done better if everyone was well; but when Jon Adair got sick, the team really felt the loss, said junior Dave Panning. Imagine running five to ten miles per day, every weekday from August to the end of Oc- tober. Daily, the guys ' cross country team headed out, rain or shine, to run. Sometimes running got boring, but I enjoyed it. I liked pushing my body to the maxi- mum, although sometimes it was very hard. Running to me was just as natural as walking. I felt running was necessary. When I ran by myself, I liked to think on things which I normal- ly didn ' t have time to think about, said junior Steve East. Though the guys cross country team pushed them- selves to prepare for meets, they met some regular disap- pointments in the area of fan support. When they arrived not many people were there to see the results of this work. With hardly any fans there to cheer them on, the girls ' team was almost always the only cheering block. Running past the cornfields, senior captain Eric Hoffman heads toward the finish line for a 6th place finish at the Woodlan meet. Hoffman was the team ' s 1 runner with a best time of 17:10. I realized that cross coun- try wasn ' t a spectator sport because I knew it wasn ' t very exciting to watch a bunch of people run a race, and that other sports like football were more exciting for the fans, but it always helped to have peo- ple yell at me when I ran be- cause it took my mind off the pain and allowed me to think in a positive way, said Panning. — Julie Chickedantz Boys Cross Country Wiping the sweat from his lace, soph- omore Todd Hullinger pushes himself to do the best that he can in the first meet against Woodlan.

Suddenly an out- break of excitement and en- thusiasm broke out along the sideline, and the encouraged fans cheered with new hope. This familiar scene was a re- sult of the spirit of the cheer- leaders during a game. Moti- vation was important when preparing for a game. When I started to practice before the games and saw people starting to arrive, I got psyched up and ready to cheer, said sophomore re- serve cheerleader Katie Harris. Inactive fans were a main concern. The lack of spirit shown by students, especially at pep sessions, was totally frustrating. It was very hard to stay motivated when others didn ' t care, said senior varsi- ty cheerleader Becky Carter. The student affairs commit- tee introduced a cheer block that helped the cheerleaders get the crowds going. When students got in- volved, we felt great because we knew that what we were doing was worthwhile, said Harris. Adding a special flare to their performances, the poms added sequins to their stan- dard outfits. It helped us get noticed by the crowd because it picked up the light. People centered their attention on us, said senior pompon co- captain Katie Wasson. I think it got the crowd ' s attention and made us look more uniform, said senior pompon co-captain Barb Bienz. In July, poms attended camp at Defiance College for one week and concentrated on movements and technique. Poms had daily group perfor- mances for the rest of the camp, and took a first place in their routine on the last day. According to the squad, camp was beneficial to their season.

We usually went to chapel at 7:00 before our games that were at home and had a guest speaker or a coach lead us in a devotion, said senior guard Mark McCrory. This was ba- sically all we did until we got the final instructions before the game started, but each player must have had his own intensity or we would lose. Although mental prepara- tion and the player-of-the- week awards seemed to get most of the players going, crowd support was a key factor. The crowd support was really good at our home games. It really helped a lot when many people were there because they pumped you up and got you really excited, said senior forward Bob Bortz. We also had really good crowd support at the Northrop game. We got more motivated when we had a good crowd there yelling for us, said sophomore center Doug Reincke. Though crowd support did help tremendously to inspire the team to play well, achieve- ment of goals set at the begin- ning of the season also satis- fied the team. Our goals were to have a winning record, to shoot 70% from the free throw line, and to win sectionals. Winning sec- tionals was a goal of any bas- ketball team, said McCrory.

One part of this fate in- volved the difference between being on a grade school team and being on a high school team. It brought many advan- tages, as well as many new opportunities. Playing with people you played against in grade school was really strange. Before, you were trying to keep the ball away from them, and now you had to get the ball to them whenever possible, said freshman Jason Roemer.

If we were ever going to com- pete at state as a team, this was our year. The gymnasts used prac- tices as a serious time for meet preparations.

We knew that the only way we could really improve was by giving it our all in daily practices. For this team, there were lit- tle things that made the year special.

It was the third period and there were only thirty seconds left. Anxi- ety built up as he laid flat on his back, and as his opponent loosened his grip, he saw a chance to pin his man. All his strength built up inside, and he pushed himself up from the strong hold. He concentrated all his strength into one move, thrusting his opponent to the mat for a quick pin.

After every wrestling match, the team gathered and sang the doxology together. We sounded pretty bad. We sang because we wanted to thank God for no injuries during the match. said Goeglein.

They practiced these moves over and over, time and time again, and that ' s it, it ' s over, in a matter of minutes — or even seconds — their morale was either lost or boosted. The freshman reserve wres- tling team worked as hard as the varsity team did, yet fan support wasn ' t always there to keep up the spirits. Our first meet against South Side was the most well attended meet, and after that the attendance went downhill towards the end of the sea- son, said sophomore Neil Grepke. High school wrestling was a different scene for the fresh- men who wrestled in grade school. It was filled with many changes as well as a new chal- lenge. I liked to wrestle at the high school level because it was much more exciting than grade school.

Cheering each other on and showing each other that they were behind them all the way sometimes made all the differ- ence in the world. When you heard someone cheering you on, it gave you the willpower to win your match, said junior Kurt Gutman. One of the biggest high- lights for the 1986-87 season was the Reserve Tournament, which took place at Snider High School. It was very rewarding to see how well our wrestlers did, and even two went on to the finals, said coach LeBeau. According to the wrestlers, strength, endurance and knowledge of the moves were the most important features of a wrestler. You needed to be in top physical condition to make it through a tough match, said junior Tom Dettmer. — Sarah Roemer Fre shman Reserve Wrestling Thinking about the strategy he will use to pin his man, junior Tom Dettmer concentrates on catching all ot his op- ponent ' s moves.

Coach Stoi Tammy Lagemann was really satisfied with this year ' s team; they got along well to- gether because of all of the training they went through. Going through all of the work together formed a bond between them. They also had a lot of perseverance.

The ball was released and arched in the air toward the basket. SWISH! The freethrow was good. The girls ' varsity bas- ketball team attained one of their goals this season by im- proving their freethrow per- centage. Coach George Knud- ten said, We exceeded our goal for free-throws; the team was outstanding at the freeth- row line. The team started out the season with many goals — im- provements they wanted to make from last year ' s season. Most of these went by unful- filled.

We also wanted to improve our re- cord from last year. Although the varsity record didn ' t show it, the team had many good games. One prob- lem they had was their level of consistency. Our best game was when we played Dwenger during the season. We led the first three quarters and at the end of the third we were ahead by ten points, but we gave it away in the fourth quarter, stated ju- nior Kate Macke. One disadvantage the team faced was that of height. Our weakest point was that we lacked height. Because of this we worked on positioning for rebounding, and blocking out the opponent extra hard, said sophomore Lori Wolff. There was a split in feelings concerning the fan support. According to Macke, We could have used more fan sup- port. It would have been nice if we could have gotten a lot of people to come to one or two home games for a good crowd. I thought there was good fan support; especially at some of the close games like Dwenger the fans were out- standing, stated Knudten. Unlike their feelings on fan support, the team was in agreement on team support. Wolff said, It was really good — we kept each other going. The girls ' varsity team was low on the priority list in get- ting the main gym for practice. According to junior Kim Nash, We hardly ever got the main gym for practice; the freshmen guys had priority over us.

As we grew dur- ing the season, we could do more.

Skillfully laying the ball up over the rim, guard Laura Zelt anticipates her two-point swish through the hoop, as the Saints gain position under their defensive board. The Cadets scored 23 points against Dwenger. During practices the reserve and freshman teams concen- trated on defense, new posi- tions, drills, and enthusiasm. On reserve, we tried to get our attitudes up so we would be ready to beat upcoming teams, said forward Carrie Blad.

Over Christ- mas they practiced every day but two weekdays and Sun- days. Basketball became our whole lives. We went home, did homework, and went to bed. We had no social life! said Kammeyer. Injuries also surrounded a few players on the teams. Blad said, My best friend got hurt before the season, and had to wear a brace. She had worked so hard doing exercises and drills to be able to play. I want- ed to win for her because she could have been such a good player on the team.

Parents grew up in a different time, said junior Jeff McBride. A study of the student lounge proved that adolescents were often set in their ways too. When looking for someone who frequented the student lounge, chances were they could be found in the same place daily. In the beginning of the year my friends and I picked a place and sat there all the time for the rest of the year, said senior Eric Hoffman. The lounge measured 55 X 39 size 6 Reebok tennis shoes, which was much bigger than classrooms, which measured 35 X 35 size 6 Reebok tennis shoes. Even though the lounge was larger in size than most of the classrooms frequented by students, many small things that counted went on between the two huge windows of the arcade forming the student lounge. The benches with heat vents under them never seemed to hold all the students inhabiting the lounge on any given morning. Kids could always be found parked on the floor or laps of friends. Sitting on someone ' s lap was a small way of expressing affection for someone. It was the most fun when lots of people were sitting on each other ' s laps, said senior Val Keoun.

Peru, Indi- ana, where the town revolved around the circus, is where Becky lived for seven years. Becky experienced the cir- cus with its excitement of clowns, acrobatics, and mu- sic, when her parents took her when she was six. From that time on, Becky was deter- mined to become a part of the action. My parents were all behind it. I was an energetic kid, and they thought this would be a good outlet for some of my energy. They also knew I wanted to do it and they supported me, said Carter. Backflips from slanted board to slanted board gave Becky one of her many nick- names. When they saw me do the act, I reminded them of a toy slinky, said Carter. An- other act she performed gave her fame as ' the girl with no back bone. ' A handkerchief was placed behind me on the ground; I would do a back bend and pick it up with my mouth. Then I would stand back up, all without using my hands, said Carter. Carter ' s circus experience got her started in gymnastics. My trainer was involved with the YMCA program, and she encouraged me to develop my skills as a gymnast, said Carter. Carter was a circus member from age six until she was 12. My dad got a job here as a professor at the Seminary. At first I was devastated about leaving the circus.

HIDE! The teacher is calling. No, not on the phone, but in the classroom. Some would do just about anything to keep from being called on to answer a question. I usually looked out of the window or acted really con- fused, said Amy Bruick. I also sent the teacher cros- seyed looks and hung up the ' brain out of order ' sign. Sometimes I looked the teacher straight in the face; that seemed to scare them off, said Vince Cullers. Some actually tried to hide instead of thinking up a quick answer that could have been wrong. Sometimes I ' d duck behind the person in front of me. I guess I thought the teacher wouldn ' t see me, said Cullers. Some categorized the peo- ple who got called on most by teachers. Usually they looked for someone they thought didn ' t know the an- swer. However, they didn ' t call on people who were lucky enough to have the mentality of a cardboard box. It was like a part of their job to embar- rass us, said Bruick. Teachers usually looked for someone who never knew the answer — unless an ad- ministrator was around. Then they called on the best stu- dents, said Cullers. Trying to fake out the teach- er was another tactic students perfected. I usually faked my way through by taking a previ- ous assignment and use that to show the teacher, said Jeff Peterson. If I understood the assign- ment, I could fake my way through, said Bruick.

We put our time and talent into more useful things instead of wasting it on pushing wag- ons or digging in flour, stated Becky Borchelt. Another similar view was taken by Gail Reddenmann: The reason we didn ' t win was because we were more of an academically oriented class; we didn ' t waste our time with matters as trivial or insignifi- cant as Anything Goes. Spirit was absent according to some. I thought our class lacked spirit: we had none when it came to things like this, stated Janne Foelber. The guys in our class had absolutely no school spirit; the girls did. but when we started showing our spirit, all we got were some dirty looks from the guys, said Kate Macke.

Take out the garbage! Mow the grass! Shovel the walk! These were commands often heard by Concordia students from their parents. I usually had a list of cer- tain jobs that had to be done before I could go out or do anything, said Christie Brink. Some chores, though, had to be done during the week. One night each week. I had to take out the garbage, said Peter Horstman. Chores were used as a basis for some juniors ' income. If the chores were done, allowance could be collected; otherwise they received no money for the week. My mom didn ' t want me to After the first snowfall of the year in early November. Becky Schoenherr helps with her share of the chores around the house by shoveling the front porch. work until my senior year, so the only way I had money to spend was from the allowance she gave me. If I didn ' t do the jobs I didn ' t get any money. When that happened, I starved myself and used my lunch money for spending money if I needed it, said Mi- chelle Dorothy. Unlike Dorothy, there were some students who worked, and whose parents thought the money they received from their jobs was enough. My parents took my allow- ance away from me because I had my own income. said Horstman. A few students didn ' t have to worry about doing chores. I didn ' t really have any chores. I just had to keep my room clean, said Carrie Hawk. — Elizabeth Nash Juniors 4 hrens-Gaskill Brian Ahrens Michael Albertson Sarah Angel Angelia Baker Arby Barnes Kevin Beck Mindy Behny Rachel Beitz Chuck Belcher Chris Bennett Jeff Bercot Scott Bercot Eric Bieberich Mark Bielko Kristin Bierlein Tim Birkmeier Carrie Blad Jeff Bledsoe Students scope out danger zone Note passing — a taboo i i The tension built as eyes dart- ed from the teacher, across the room and back. The timing had to be perfect, the move- ments subtle for the confiden- tial note to move across the room without being confiscat- ed. It traveled over one row, back three seats, over two more rows . . . just one more seat — made it! Notes from friend to friend were small things that had the potential of making or break- ing a day. They made any one of the seven class periods in- teresting, even if the class it- self wasn ' t. I was trying to write a note to Carmen Carpenter, but she was sitting on the opposite side of the room. So I tried to pass it through nine or ten people to get it to her, but ev- eryone kept reading it on the way over, said Jennifer Phares. Different notes conveyed different messages. One note could have been humorous, another emotional, each of them projecting a personal message. Each student knew which classes were safe note pass- ing territory, and which class- es were considered danger zones. Last year in World History Jenny Nash and I, instead of taking notes (for class), would write notes to each other every day. We would write down the lecture headings or dates and then write to each other un- derneath them, said Hallie Smith. — Katie Wasson During a group discussion in her fifth hour English class, in room 108, Carrie Blad concentrates intently on the group discussion after writing a note to a friend and waiting to deliver it.

A hand reached into a pocket and discreetly pulled out a piece of gum, hoping no one had seen. Quietly it was un- wrapped; in a posed yawn or a fake cough the hand shot up to the mouth and the gum was deposited. Some teachers didn ' t care if their students chewed gum as long as it didn ' t cause a distur- bance. Some teachers also did not allow gum in their class and had penalties for it. In Glee Club, Mr. Kinne wouldn ' t let us chew gum at all. If we got caught, he took a point away from us, said Mi- chelle Roberts. Chewing gum was a small thing that made a difference. It W- relieved stress, hunger, ner- vousness, and even boredom. Of the people interviewed, no one admitted to actually sticking gum underneath desk in an attempt to get rid of it. DID YOU KNOW . . . — that there was an average 370.75 pieces of dried gum per room? — that there was an average of 12.4 pieces per desk? — that there were two pieces of gum underneath Mr. Kusch ' s desk? — that the freshest piece was in room 107? — that the most colorful dis- play of both ancient and al- most fresh was in room 311? — that gum was burned off the desks in an attempt to get rid of it? — that smiley faces were drawn in some of the old gum? — Michelle Dorothy Although this appears to be priceless modern art, it is really cheap, and parts of it could be ancient.

This BEEP was part of a system called Call Waiting. If someone tried to call a house while the resident was talking to someone else, the phone would beep and the resident could put the person they were talking to on hold in order to answer the person who was calling. I liked call waiting very much because I didn ' t feel guilty if my parents ' friends were trying to get through be- cause now they could. I also liked if because my friends could get through when my Awaiting someone to answer the phone. Pete McMahan waits to ask for a ride home because ot a stalled en- gine.

It was neat because you could talk to two people at the same time, said Neil Grepke. Though it did allow people to have two calls at the same time, there were some disad- vantages. I always felt sorry for the person waiting. It bugged me when I had to wait, especially when the person forgot about me. said Mi- chelle Roberts. I liked it but sometimes when another person called in and you answered that line, you ended up getting discon- nected from the other person when you pressed on the re- ceiver to go back to them. It was not always reliable. said Holly Howe. — Julie Chickedantz s aron-Gevers Cory Aaron Jeff Ackerson Eric Adair Shauna Alexander Amy Alter Eric Andrews Chad Applegate Tom Arnett Sara Ayres Shelly Barlow Joe Barney Todd Bar on Stephanie Barrett Kristie Baumgartner Amy Bearman Jim Becker Katherine Benninghoff Blake Benz Life ' s tough at rock bottom Terror strikes newcomers The endless night before the first day of high school was a time most freshman dreaded. I didn ' t know how to get along in a big school at the bottom of the heap. I didn ' t know if I ' d make many friends, said Jason Quandt. Confusion and the hassles of changing classes were two problems freshman had to face. I was worried all day about going to the wrong classes, said Shenelle Hill. I forgot about one of my classes and went to the wrong one. I felt very embarrassed, said Brandy Wallace. Opening and closing lockers was a main concern. It was three days before I got it open, so I carried my books around with me, said Hill. The confusion of the crowd- ed lunch room was an instant panic! I couldn ' t find a place to sit, so I panicked. said Quandt. Because the students were not able to find seats, a schedule change was necessary. After switching lunch hours, it was still always a challenge to find a seat, Sara Hebel said. Upperclassman felt they could tell freshman apart from other students. I could tell they were freshman because they carried all their books ev- erywhere, and they always looked lost in the hallways, said junior Michelle Mink. Freshman would always look totally lost, said senior Monica Markley. — Amandia Snell Working with deep concentration, Mark Dolde attempts to open his lock- er for the first time; a task his fellow student, Rob Westra, has already accomplished.

Storyteller starts new chapter Once upon a time in the king- dom of Concordia there was a man named Mr. Carl Gall- meier, who was the guider of people. Gallmeier went into guid- ance counseling because he wanted to help students. I really wanted to work with students on an individual ba- sis. Some students didn ' t seem to fit in and needed some extra attention. said Gallmeier. After fifteen years Gallmeier decided it was time to retire. He said, There was no one reason, just a lot of little ones. I wanted to quit while I was ahead. Gallmeier was probably best known for the stories he told. According to Gallmeier, I told stories to get peoples ' attention and to keep them in- terested. People can remem- ber the point when you tell a story. Many people had often wondered about Gallmeier ' s stories — where he got them all, or if they were true. I used some of my father ' s stories, and I remembered funny things that happened. I think they are all true, stated Gall- meier. With his free time he planned to do some volunteer- ing, and catch up on his read- ing and relaxing. — Elizabeth Nash English O cl on how to protessors ne ol his own experiences of college ;.

(As defined by Noah Webster) small: The seemingly insignificant aspects of V Concordia Lutheran High School that personalized and highlighted the 175 days spent in the building. What made Concordia special to me was ROTC. I got to shoot the rifles for the first time. I had been looking forward to it all year, and then, after I did it I found out it was something I really liked to do, said sophomore Brad Loy. On the first day of school, when members of the Concordia family first entered any one of the six front doors, expectations for the upcoming year were sometimes low. I basically thought the year would be boring. I transferred from Elmhurst, and the long drive to Concordia made the days seem so much longer. The teachers also put on more pressure to learn than I was used to, said junior Kim Kratzert. The two snow days in January helped me relax by giving me the chance to go to friends ' houses and the mall. Small but significant details highlighted the events of the year to make it one that counted. Instead of being part of the 400,000 live spectators of the nationally televised St. Patrick ' s Day Parade, the band and flag squad marched the two and a half mile para de route from 48th Street to 86th Street, in New York City in person. When we finally found out that we were definitely going to New York to march in the parade, the first thing I thought to myself was ' Are you sure? Are you SURE? ' said senior Sharita Hill. The multitude of details consumed the 16 members of Advanced Composition the month of December, 37 days before they presented their community documentaries. These details included many phone calls, personal interviews, selecting (continued on page 175) In the midst ot decorating the yearbook room for Christmas, sophomore Mandi Snell experiments with one of the decorations as a hat while Brent Doerffler displays on his chest the stars usually used for marking a completed deadline Even though the staff was busy trying to meet deadlines, they always found time for a small break to have some fun. Closing During the Toybox performance of The Secret in the Toyroom. the actors and actresses spend time talking to the small people who formed the audience. The purpose of the Toybox play was to inform children about the problem of abuse. After being charged with a foul for wearing flagrant shorts.

Mr. Fred Weiss, sophomore Andy Weiss undertakes the job of stapling together the 51 pages of the Teachers ' Handbook for 44 teachers. Taking each page of the handbook one at a time was one small way of tackling a big job. With her sweats and her Walkman to make the job easier, junior Michelle Dorothy counts the gum underneath the desks of 20 classrooms for her story about the gum problem, in the yearbook. The extra time spent counting out all the gum was one small added touch that made Dorothy ' s story count. Following a questionable call from the referee at the reserve basketball game against Caroll. Coach Jack Massucci discusses with the ref what he thinks the call should have been. J 74, Closing Yr 7 mall things add up c rfA mf perfect background music for the taping and selecting slides. All the small details I had to KF consider and pull together made it hard to YY do, said senior Pam Heisler, ▼ In contrast to the documentaries, the thank- you notes sent out by the Lu-Hi staff after conducting interviews, were one, singular small thing that made a big impact. I thought the thank you notes were very thoughtful. They helped me to develop a better sense of appreciation for the Lu-Hi staff. Of course this was a paid political announcement, said Assistant Principal, Mr. John Marks. Five Ways to Sell a Vacuum Cleaner, a skit performed during a Wednesday morning chapel service, portrayed five different Christian attempts to witness or not to witness.
