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
