Amusement ignites the sizzling vacation spirit rank-up the summer sun The temperature lingered at 99 degrees in the shade as the scorching sun beat on your Coppertone tan. 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.

Whether there is a little or a lot, the spending never stops aved money spent, is no more Oh, there ' s the Owl Bank! I better stop and get some money, because I need my hair cut. ENTER YOUR PER- SONAL NUMBER: 2015 EN- TER AMOUNT. It ' s $15 for a haircut, and maybe I should get an extra $10 just in case. 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.
