Smith Title Page A From aerobics, golf, and t p i n«g to art club and daydreams, t was right after second hour on I Thursday, October 15, that a stink bomb went off on the second floor, and while the fun of the few out- weighed the fun of the many, to the instigator it didn ' t matter. One stu- | dent had found a way to make an otherwise boring day fun (or at least interesting). An outlet or an escape was needed when, occasionally, the days began to drag. Whether it was in school or out of school, slam dancing or just writing notes, students ' lives were filled with methods of having fun. From 8:15 to 3:15 a little creativity was some- times required to beat the boredom. When Mr. Limmerdid an experiment in physics and the back row couldn ' t see, we stood up on the desks, ' ' sophomore Chris Willig said. It was fun because it was something we weren ' t supposed to be doing. When I ' m bored, I daydream about guys and write my friends notes, ' ' sophomore Chandraa Coe said. I look forward to weightlifting every day, be- cause even if it isn ' t a typical class, it ' s a break from thinking and is informal, senior Jason Matzke said. I try to talk to someone different every day, someone that I don ' t usually talk to so that I don ' t (Continued on page 4) In the ultimate displa) of fun. Sgt.

G Getting involved in the science club and intramurals is a fun aspect of school that I enjoy, ' ' sophomore David Lange said. IH HHB As a result of academics, clubs, sports, or jobs, students felt that they didn ' t have enough free time. So, the time that they did have was filled with relaxation and fun times. 1 get together with my friends, play football, basketball, golf, or just fool around, ' ' Matzke said. Even though it ' s kind of unoriginal, TPing is great fun, especially Mr. Jordan ' s house, ' ' senior Fete Horstman said. When I have time, I get involved in biking trips. Sometimes we ride to Chicago and go to a Cubs game if they ' re playing the Reds before riding back, senior Mark Schmidt said. When I ' m bored, I do stupid things with my friends to have fun, ' ' Willig said. A touch of the unusual surrounded a few stu- dents ' view of a fun time. Going to cemeteries is always fun, along with slam dancing and weekend-long concerts, ' ' senior Chris Gordon said. I ' m probably the only person at Concordia training for a marathon. Most people think I ' m cra- zy, and probably am, but I think that being able to run 20-some miles helps my self-confidence and is even fun, Matzke said. — Michelle Dorothy 4 It was on a dry September morning when senior Darcy Robinson awoke to this sight. Seniors Rob Dillman. Ben Miller, and Scott Reese, and sophomore Eve Qer- Ken, along with a few graduates, had spent the early morning hours TPing her house on a rampage of fun.

One morning when my mom came back from her walk, she saw raw eggs on the side of our house. It left big stains on the house, but the guys did it just for fun, not meaning to do any damage, sophomore Monika Witmer said. hot only houses were egged. Some- times it was windows of the school. One morning I came in and there was raw egg on my window. I had to climb out the window and wash it off myself, Mrs. Sue Hebel said. Students didn ' t spend all of their time egging just for the fun of it. They went to athletic events, Pizza Hut, or even just people s houses. I loved to turn on the juke box and just dance, when I wasn ' t sleeping junior Carey Tellman said. — Julie Chickedantz Showing his exasperation, jun- ior Tom Mocllering watches as the football team makes one of its mistakes.

Student Life Divider 7 Summer life sizzles with fun as Cadets get heated up for OOD T M E S As the sun ' s intense rays beat down upon the patio and bod- ies splashed in the water, the mood of summer had been es- tablished. Or had it? Many stu- dents spent their free time working, travelling, and hav- ing fun. ' The high point of my sum- mer was visiting Toronto, Can- ada. It was a foreign county, a different culture than Ameri- ca junior Samara Christlieb said. Some students looked for- ward to time off from school pressures. I love summer be- cause 1 get to take a break from school and just hang loose, freshman Tom Beck said. Students felt this intermis- sion between school years should be free of responsibil- ity. I think of summer as a three-month party, a time to do whatever you want without any obligations, sophomore Jill Smith said. Mot every student had a re- laxing summer. 1 set up my own mowing business two years ago; last summer I made a profit of several thou- sand dollars. Mowing was very time consuming and involved much hard work, but it was well worth my effort, senior Mark Schmidt said. Many students grew during the summer months because they took the time to look down the road at their own fu- tures. During the summer I spent most of my time away from my family and gained a new sense of independence, senior Julie McMillen said. Summer is supposed to be a free time to get to know who you are and not have to worry about school or coats, Mr. Jeff Limmer said. — Jennifer Mash Enjoying each other ' s company, daughter and mother duo Becky and Jerry Schoenherr sit on the shores of Pleasant Lake on a rainy morning.

Wednesday of Homecoming week, students and teachers paraded to Zollner Stadium for the Anything Goes compe- tition. They participated in bi- zarre contests to determine who actually had the most spirit. I went just for the com- edy aspect of the night, sophomore Chad Applegate said. Seeing teachers ride tri- cycles and get hit in the face with pies made the evening a success. Dressing up as nerds, ba- bies, or in finest attire was one way for students to show their spirit. I particularly enjoyed seeing the conservative teach- ers go crazy and dress-up dur- ing the course of the week. I definitely liked I ' .istoi Borchers ' outfit on nerd day the best of all, junior Katie Harris said. The actual preparation for Homecoming began last May. We selected the various com- mittee heads and theme for the week then, Mr. Tim Ewell said. The tremendous orga- nization made all the differ- ence in the world. The com- mittee heads did a fabulous job. Different attempts were made to increase the enjoy- ment of the week. We tried different things this year, like the chapel service in the gym and throwing pies at teachers. We thought it would add inter- est to the week, senior co- chairman Mari Cbert said. I think they went over fairly well. — Jeff McBride Competing to finish their pizza are juniors Julie Flora and Mark Plass- man and freshmen Yolanda Turner and Chad Ford.

This year we wanted to do different things — things that hadn ' t been done for awhile, junior co-chairman Rachel Beitz said. The new activities worked, because as junior cheerleader Holly Howe said, The crowd got into the game and really seemed keyed up. Mot only did the different ac- tivities get the crowd excited, but they seemed to attract a large number of fans. It was great to see the stands that full; there were a lot of people there, senior football player Matt Lewis said. Winning the game was one of the favorite parts of the night and got spirits high for the dance. I was more up at the dance and was able to cel- ebrate the victory of the game, Howe said. The idea of doing some- thing different also had to do with the setting and theme for the dance. We wanted the theme to be really different. We had thought of doing a jungle set- ting, and then we thought of the theme The Rhythm is Gonna get You ' to go along with the setting, senior dance chairman Janne Foebler said. Homecoming night meant different things to different peop le. For the seniors it was a time to reflect on their past years and to appreciate the time they had left. It was my last Homecom- ing — my time at Concordia went really fast, Lewis said. For freshmen Homecoming night meant something new. Homecoming night was a time of fun and a time to meet new people, freshman Kris- tina Graham said. No matter what the class, Homecoming Might was a time of fun and a time to be with friends. Sophomore Jason Roemer summarized these feelings in saying, Home- coming night was the end of a week of celebration. — Allison Staak ii PHffci ?k MmJ - + '  PB Vi fa r , ,.

Purdue, oh please! This conversation was probably heard before within the halls of Con- cordia High; it was a common one that Indiana and Purdue rivals had. just for the fun of it. Most of the people interviewed be- came fans in junior high. I became an I.U. fan when I was in sixth grade, but when Steve Alford joined the team, that ' s when I became a really big fan, sophomore Allison Staak said. I became a Purdue fan when I was in eighth grade, because I was sick of hearing Indiana this and Indiana that. junior Brad Cox said. When asked whose colors were bet- ter the answers given were, well, rath- er contradictory. I like Indiana because their colors are much brighter and happier than Purdue ' s. Purdue ' s are really awful! sophomore Lisa Kneller said. Black and gold are rich and mean- ingful colors, unlike creme and crim- son — which just don ' t do it for me, Mr. Don Luepke said. Once asked about Bobby Knight, everyone had something to say. I like Bobby. He get ' s a little radi- cal sometimes, but he ' s a great coach, senior Kelly Therkelsen said. I have no respect for Bobby Knight. He flies off at the mouth with- out thinking and brags about how good he is, Luepke said. When asked how Purdue was doing in sports, people ' s ideas were conflicting. Purdue ' s really gone downhill sportswise, Therkelsen said. Purdue hasn ' t declined at all in basketball, but in football they have because of the new coach, Luepke said. — Danielle Tucker Black Tie Blue Jeans When it comes to the perfect date, fantasy and reality clash What did the face of Tom Cruise, the body of Sylvester Stallone, the person ality of Kirk Cameron, and the legs of Mr. Wills add up to? It was one senior girl ' s Idea of a perfect boyfriend. Every day students were faced with the dilemma of creating new friend- ships and finding that special person to date. Many qualities were considered before choosing a girlfriend or boy- friend. A good sense of humor was an important quality because it was cru- cial at times in a relationship. It was important to have a good sense of humor because things would happen that could really mess up a date and you had to be able to laugh it off, sophomore Laura Miller said. 70% of the students said that on outgoing personality was the quality that attracted their attention first. A good listener was considered impor- tant by 19% of the students and 11% said that a person who was fun to be around was the quality that they no- ticed first. There were various times when stu- dents acted rather odd or dizzy while they tried to attract another person ' s attention. The name or label given to these types of people was airhead. I laughed at them and really got turned off, junior Greg Sassmann- shausen said. I always heard guys talking about how stupid airheads were but they always seemed to go out with them anyhow, Miller explained. There were times when students sat around during their classes and fanta- sized about their ideal date. I would love it if he sent me a dozen roses while I was getting ready. Then we would go to a lake where we would mst sit under the stars and he ' d intrigue me with his knowledge. Then we would go back to his house where he would prepare me a good dinner. On the way home I would receive a gift ot large ex- pense, senior Tammy Lagemann said. Some students enjoyed casual dating while others preferred seri- ous dating in high school. I enjoyed casual dating be- cause it didn ' t cost as much, jun- ior Doug Reincke said. I preferred serious dating to a point, because that way you didn ' t have to go through the trouble of finding a date when you needed one. junior Brad Cox said. Dating was handled in one of two ways: group dating or being one-on-one with your date. I liked group dating because if you got stuck with somebody you didn ' t like you could look to others to talk to, Cox said. According to Lagemann, the ide- al guy was ... the face of Tom Cruise with Kirk Cameron ' s person- ality together with Sylvester Stal- lone ' s body and Mr. Will ' s legs. — Kim Klausmeier Students byte into future with new electronic minds, progress to computer literacy During her computer topics class, senior Erika [aylor works on one of the 50 new computers. The computers provided an opportunity tor many students to learn the basics. Photo: H. Smith Keeping pace with the network system of the future. Concordia had 50 new IBM model 30 computers installed over the past summer. They proved to be a maior benefit to the curriculum. Princi- pal Guenther Herzog said that every- one who goes through high school should be computer literate. Thanks to the grant from the Fischer Memorial Foundation, students had the opportu- nity to familiarize themselves with computers and gain training for post- high school life. Computers could be fun and excit- ing while helping to prepare us for the job market, senior Sarah Roemer said. In the future most careers would, in some way. involve computers, and those who have not had computer training may have a limited career choice. When I get out into the working field. I think I will be able to adapt to the working conditions easier because of my computer knowledge. senior John Daenzer said. An idea when the computers were purchased was to have all classes use them during the year. This was much easier to do than last year considering that the number of computers in- creased three times and open lab was also available. The school ' s philosophy was that computers were not a curric- ulum that should stand alone, but something that should be used for ev- eryone ' s benefit. Due to the number of computers and upgrade in memory, more teach- ers were able to use them as a teach- ing tool, Daenzer said. Even though computers were taken as serious business, they also added relaxation to students ' and teachers ' lives. Computers allowed you to be more of an individual. You could explore with computers and they helped to take away the boredom of everyday work. Mr. Steve Lehenbauer said. — Lori McMahan Black Tie Blue Jeans H Panamania strikes United States, American victories bring gold Something big struck the United States this past summer: the tenth Pan Amer- ican Games. The Pan Am games were the Western Hemisphere ' s version ot a mini-Olympics. Athletes from the U.S., Canada, Cuba, and many other nations converged in Indianapolis, Indiana, to compete in the Games. (It marked the first time the Pan Am Games were held In our country.) Competition was only one aspect of the games. For many, including some athletes, the games were a large social affair. The city of Indianapolis was filled with the excitement of the party atmosphere. Being there made things twice as exciting. The excitement was the thing that I ' ll never forget, junior Chris Hoeppner said. Hoeppner, along with other students, made the trip to India- napolis for various reasons. I ' m interested in cycling, so I just went down to see some of the cycling events. That was something you just didn ' t see every day, sophomore Eric Adair said. Not everyone was able to attend the Games, but through many different sources students and teachers fol- lowed them. Mr. Ed LeBeau was intrigued by the political controversies. I ' m just amazed that something so antipolitical can be so hypocritical, LeBeau said. The Games were supposed to be free of political overtones, but they were interrupted frequently by anti-Cuban demonstrations. There were also those students who weren ' t excited by the hype. I was too busy with my job, and I never got involved with all the action. The excite- ment comes during the Olympics, senior Cory Wietfeldt said. — Jeff McBnde Trying to keep warm from the cold weather around him, a homeless person rests on the bare ground as his two dogs watch over him.

A story that had the biggest headlines and the longest sto- ries was the Iran Contra affair, and people thought that was the big story of the year. Reagan made some pretty bad de- cisions in 1987, but the worst was the Iran Contra affair — no one was sure if he was directly involved with it or not, sophomore Cara Caparaso said. The Iran Contra hearings were held during the summer of 1987. The hear- ings consisted of the questioning of Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, the former assistant National Security Ad- visor. North was accused of selling arms to the Iranians in exchange for American hostages and transferring the profits to the Contra ' s in Nicara- gua. The hearings showed Reagan wasn ' t in charge, Mr. David Gemmer said. He wasn ' t aware of what was going on around him. Other people questioned in the hear- ings were North ' s secretary, Fawn Hall, Admiral John Pomdexter, former National Security Advisor, and William Casey, director of the CIA. Casey died as a result of a brain tumor before he could be questioned as to his participa- tion in the Iran Contra affair. Another event that happened this past year was Reagan ' s appointment of the Supreme Court nominee. That whole affair was blown out of propor- tion, senior Dave Panning said. That was the story reporters focused on the most, and it didn ' t need all that atten- tion. Judge Robert Bork was rejected be- cause of some of his beliefs on abor- tion, along with individual liberties. Reagan ' s second appointment, appeals court Judge Douglas Gmsburg, with- drew after admitting that he had smoked marijuana in the sixties. The press focused on Gmsburg ' s mistakes and didn ' t pay enough attention to his good points, Caparaso said. An event that happened which seemed to have a positive effect on the nation was the signing of the nuclear weapons treaty between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. He (Reagan), by signing the treaty, seemed to regain his confidence in bargaining, Gemmer said. Although Reagan made some pret- ty bad decisions this past year, he also made some good ones, Caparaso said. This was a generally good year politically: inflation was down, unem- ployment was down, and the nation was prospering. Since 1988 was Reagan ' s last year as President of the United States, he will have left his successor the prob- lems of balancing the budget because of the indebtedness of the country. He also will have left a great trade deficit, meaning that the nation had allowed more importing than exporting to take place. — Susan Stalder 1 a Mini-Mag howing concentration. It.

All of us took our home, food, and clothes for grant- ed, sophomore Stacey Smith said. Sometimes people were homeless because they were brought up in a way in which they had nothing; and on the other hand, the loss of a job. or a divorce sometimes led people to being homeless, Director of Christian Edu- cation at St. Peter ' s Lut heran Church. Dennis Dobbins said. Area shelters of- fered free meals and a place to sleep, if they had the room. The Salvation Army Adult Rehabili- tation Center ' s purpose was to spread the gospel to troubled men in the com- munity through rehabilitation. After helping them, they placed them back into society as a positive source. By the end, they knew that they were worth something — they had a posi- tive attitude towards themselves, senior John Daenzer said. They were capable of holding a job just like any of us. They just needed a boost, sophomore Tyler Wells said. The St. Mary ' s Soup Kitchen also of- fered two warm meals a day. Students and staff participated in helping out St. Mary ' s by bringing in two jars of pea- nut butter. I felt we as Christians could have done more, but at that time we did a great job. sophomore Amy Braun said. Fund raisers, like helping out the Soup Kitchen and sponsoring families at Christmas time, were events that succeeded. If I could ' ve, I would have helped them find a job so they also could live a normal life. sophomore Heidi Clevenger said. — Tonja Zelt Good News TV preachers ' holy veil torn by unprecented scandal All seemed quiet on the TV evangelical front for years. Sure, rumors of luxuri- ous spending had floated around, but the faithful following was convinced that Jim, Oral. Jimmy and Jerry were using their funds for the betterment of The Lord ' s kingdom. Thousands be- lieved that these men wouldn ' t lie, cheat and steal. In fact. Pat Robertson was planning on driving his coalition of voters for God right into the White House. American ethics would be born again . — God would be in charge. Rev. Oral Roberts, self-acclaimed faith healer, announced on television that God would call him home un- less believers came up with $4.5 mil- lion dollars for missionary work by March 31. 1987. The end of March came and went, and Roberts was still preaching his salvation message here on earth. Jim Bakker relinquished his $129 milhon-a-year Praise The Lord televi- sion ministry. Stripped of his title as an ordained minister of the Assembly of God, Bakker found himself shunned by his throng of faithful, virtually lost in the wake of a sex scandal involving a New York secretary, Jessica Hahn. Tammy Faye. Bakker ' s wife, remained at his side, all the while becoming the object of widespread ridicule. For viewers across the nation, the TV Gospel had become a message of lies. A once credible group of ministers had become corrupt in the eyes of millions around the world. Pat Robert- son ' s hopes for a seat in the Oval OHice were dashed: the congregations of the TV preachers had been crum- bled. — John Daenzer Mini-Mag tn TRENDS MERGE CREATING STYLE Polo, Calvin Klein, Guess, and Levi ' s all contributed to the increase in unisex wardrobes. by Jennifer Nash The norm, the things which are consid- ered acceptable, is constantly being created and recreated. One item of fashion that has been on the rise and has become the norm is the act of women wearing clothes and accesso- ries that were originally made and de- signed for males. When I shopped, I went to the men ' s department before the women ' s. I liked men ' s clothing because it was not as overpriced as women ' s, senior Pam Tritch said. The number of items worn by wom- en that were also associated with males, was endless. The options for a virtually unisex wardrobe included box- er shorts, sweaters, watches, cologne, shirts, overcoats, neckties, and jewel- ry. Whether followers of the latest trend or not, girls of all kinds were seen decked out in male-type clothing. For the last couple of years I have worn boxers because they were really comfortable, neat looking, and fun to wear. I did not think about them being trendy nor did I care, sophomore Kristen Stinson said. Some people speculated that the reason females wore articles made for men was that they wanted to be exact- ly like them in every way. Those who did wear male pieces had a contrasting opinion. I wore men ' s cologne be- cause I liked the way it smelled, not because I wanted to be masculine, or because I wanted the same things for women that men had, junior Hallie Smith said. As the trends and fashion state- ments continued to change, there would always be people wearing what- ever they desired, and females would continue to wear clothes that were not perhaps designed or intended for them. SPUDS DEFIES POLICIES Spuds Mackenzie, dog turned star literally overnight, was accused of encouraging alcohol use among teens. I by Amandia Snell A new star hit the world. Among all the actors, comedians, and famous figures of the world, a dog was thrown into the spotlight. Spuds Mackenzie cov- ered t-shirts, mugs, key chains, and Mini-Mag Trends even boxer shorts. Although Spuds was recognized, ques- tions arose on how this star became so popular. I thought Spuds Mackenzie came just out of a gag. People thought it was funny seeing a dog dressed up in clothes on their TV, senior Anita Bredemeyer said. I thought Spuds became popular because he was a role model for what students want today. He had women, parties, and people got excited about him, junior Andrew Morse said. Although Spuds seemed to be taken lightly by some, the question of wheth- er he promoted alcohol was an issue. It ' s like Gl Joe promotes violence; in the same way Spuds encouraged kids to drink, Morse said. I don ' t think there ' s anything wrong with Spuds. He said on his com- mercial T know when to quit. ' I don ' t think there is anything wrong with al- cohol — just don ' t abuse it, junior Scott Bercot said. Although Spuds was popular with some students, the school board is- sued a rule that Spuds Mackenzie shirts, hats, and buttons were not per- mitted to be worn at Concordia.

NO SEX ALLOWED OVER WAVES By Danielle Tucker While showing off !he different variety of boxer shorts, junior Amy Rickner and senior Jell Smith take time out from the twenty-eight hour Dance Marathon to talk Students said these shorts were a popular item because of the unique designs they came in. their comfortable fit, and their reasonable prices Photo: McBride Once again censorship was alive and kicking; this year it ran its course through the music world with the Pa- rental Music Research Coalition and Federal Communications Commissions following closely at its heels. With the release of George Mi- chael ' s new album, Faith, came one of the year ' s most popular songs among students, I Want Your Sex. Almost immediately following its re- lease came the decision that the song The album Faith by George Michael turned out two number one songs and one that has been hurdling the charts since its release. Mi- chael was nominated for favorite pop rock male singer at The America Music Awards, but lost to Paul Simon, of Graceland fame. I Want Your Sex brought not only a number-one hit. but controversy Photo: US could not be played with the word sex in its content. Theretore, radio stations electronically changed the lyrics from sex to love. I don ' t think it made that big of a difference, because most people al- ready knew the original lyrics. junior Angela Wissman said. The song should not have been changed, because the song was writ- ten that way, and the contents weren ' t as bad as they were made out to be. sophomore David Lange said. One well known argument was that what a child could or couldn ' t listen to should be left up to the parents: not everyone agreed. The only way that the system of letting the parents decide would work was if we had all good parents; the problem is that we don ' t, senior Darcy Robinson said. When it concerns kids our age, the decision should be left up to the indi- vidual. Although the parents ' influence is there, we ' ve formed our own opin- ions, so what we want to listen to should be our choice. Wissman said. ' I Want Your Sex ' had a good beat, and was good to dance to. It wasn ' t right to change the lyrics: what we listen to should be our choice. sophomore Lisa Kneller said.

Around 4:00 that afternoon I walked by the Dome on the way to Union Station and could hear U2 warming up — that got me really pumped up for the concert, sopho- more Heather Zurcher said. There were two warm-up groups at the U2 concert, the Bo Deans and Los Lobos. U2 also came out dressed as a country band while the crowd waited for Los Lobos to show. It was a long wait for U2, but it was worth it. They played great music and everyone was dancing and scream- ing. U2 was by far the best concert I have ever been to. I was so glad to be there I was practically crying, Zurcher said. U2 performed the ultimate con- cert; it was the concert of a lifetime, junior Jenny Nash said. Another band that has been around for awhile but had not been widely recognized was INXS. They came to Fort Wayne on October 21 and played at the Embassy. I was glad it was at the Embassy because it ' s intimate there. It ' s small, and the acousticswere awesome, junior Carmen McGee said. Seeing INXS was great because I have liked them for so long and they had never been to Fort Wayne. After seeing groups in concert, their music seemed more personal, junior Hallie Smith said. Students sometimes attended con- certs to see a group live and to get a feel for the group ' s music. I think it ' s better hearing a group live than on tapes. I also think that it ' s neat to see them, sophomore Knsten Stmson said. Other concerts throughout the year were KISS, Tina Turner, John Cougar Mellencamp, Aerosmith and Def Lep- pard. All were at the Coliseum. According lo students, Moonlighting ' lost viewers due to the reruns that were shown. David and Maddie were once one of T.V. ' s most loved couples. Reruns resulted because Cybill Shepherd was on maternity leave and Bruce Willis was oti filming Die Hard. Photo: Us During the INXS concert, fans reach out to touch the lead guitar player.

STARS ABANDON SHOWS By lamie Diehm A wave of panic swept through the air as fingers paged through the T.V. Guide and the favorite show could not be found anywhere. Eyes rapidly scanned the pages in hopes of finding it. The agony of defeat was overwhelm- ing; the program had been cancelled. The fall television season brought with it new as well as old shows. Returning shows appeared with new characters. With Shelley Long gone from Cheers and Bruce Willis divid- ing his time between Moonlighting and movie making, some students felt as if there was something missing from the shows. ' Cheers ' seemed different after Shelley Long left the show. Since she ' d always been on, it was weird not seeing her. The new lady (that took her place) was too mean, but was a bet- ter actress, sopho- more Jason Stuart said. I really liked Shelley on ' Cheers. ' Even though a lot of people didn ' t. I still thought she was I, freshman Jenny Diemer said. Moonlighting, previously a popu- lar show, seemed to have lost its touch this season by showing mostly reruns. I was upset when I realized the shows played would be reruns because I was tired of the old ones and wanted to see something new, junior Mandy Burkholder said. Senior Amy Krocker was also upset because she wanted to see David and Maddie together more since they final- ly got together before the reruns were shown. After shows such as Hill Street Blues and Scarecrow and Mrs. King were cancelled, new series took their place. My Two Dads, Thirty- Something, and Married with Chil- dren were just a tew. Although some of these got good reviews, students had mixed feeling about them. The new shows were really enter- taining. They kept me interested be- cause they were so good, Diemer said. Most of the new shows dealt with families. They should ' ve done some- thing different such as made shows that dealt with high school, Stuart said. The lack of creativity could have kept some students from watching the new programs. ' Slap Maxwell ' was so stupid! They tried to make it funny by copying off of all the other comedy shows, but it really didn ' t work, senior Laura Zelt said. It was obvious that a few of the shows that were on this season didn ' t have much creativity behind them. It seemed that not much time was spent on creating the episodes because some comedy situations appeared in more than one show, Krocker said. FREQUENT FLOPS Although 1987 pro- duced a box office record of over $4 bil- lion, it also came up with its share of flops. by Susan Slalder Imagine sitting in a movie theater, feet stuck to the ground because of spilled pop. dozing off and being startled, only to wake up to tomato stains on the screen because of the movie being so bad. The worst movie of the year had to have been ' Ishtar. ' I ' m really sur- prised it even made enough money to advertise, movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert said. The movie industry depended on the viewers opinions, and so they could only put out the best movies, but some bad ones also slipped through. There were more bad movies in the beginning of the year, but that ' s how it always was, Mr. Dave Kusch said. The industry always started out slow, and then produced better movies. There were many different opinions among students at Concordia as to the worst movie of the year. I thought Three Amigos ' was one of the worst movies. It was so stupid that half of the jokes weren ' t even worth the laughs they got. senior Chad Van- natta said. Another movie thought to be a flop from 1987 was Robocop. sopho- more Kan Forsberg said. It was just so unrealistic and hard to believe — plus, there wasn ' t enough action to hold my attention . It seemed others in the theater lost attention too. The writers intended it to be a comedy, but the jokes just flew by. I thought that Superman IV ' was the worst. It |ust wasn ' t as good as the other three, and it was really stupid. sophomore Michelle Poole said. Mini-Nag Trends Joy and exuberance expressed as faculty members plunged into marriage, rejoiced with new arrivals brought by stork Wedding bells and baby cries were sounds heard in the ears of some of the teachers on the staff. On the four- teenth of June, Miss Lisa Schroer be- came Mrs. Lisa Wesley. New computer teacher, Mr. Dave Bahr, was married during the summer before the school year got started, and Mr. Tim LaCroix was also involved with wedding plans. He proposed to a woman he ' d dated for three years and gone to both high school and college with. We were good friends during that time, but nev- er dated until we were out of college, LaCroix said. Mark proposed to me on my twen- ty-sixth birthday, and at our wedding my father not only gave me away but also participated as the pastor. It took a while for students to get used to my name change, but then, I decided that if they wanted to call me Miss Schroer I ' d let it go, instead of correcting them every time they called me by the wrong name, Wesley said. Teachers brought their babies to school functions every now and then, so students and faculty could see them. Having Ryan added a lot of work and a lot more planning ahead. With having to get up and feed him through the night, I didn ' t get much sleep, Mrs. Judy Teague said. Having Kurt changed my life dras- tically.

Mothers weren ' t the only people bragging about their children. Mr. Jeff Limmer, father-to-be, was busy not only spreading the news that he was going to be a daddy but preparing for all the fun times ahead. Teachers said changes were part of the fun in their lives. Seeing him change, and hearing him say his first words was really neat. He was always a good natured boy, Grossman said. It was nice to have someone to go home to and talk to about the ups and downs of the day, and know that they care and will always be there for me with my best interest at heart, Wes- ley said. — Tonja Zelt While relaxing from the Inn and games during! the faculty party at Mr. Fred Weiss ' home.

Excitement rushed through the air. Some of the support- ers were still there, but not all of them. Many of Gary Hart ' s supporters were gone after he was accused of having an affair with Donna Rice. After dropping out because of the Donna Rice affair and then getting back in, I didn ' t think he had the wel- fare of the country in mind. It was his own welfare he was concerned about, senior Scott Reese said. It took some guts to get back in. He was really crazy to do it though. All it did was split the Democratic party up more so than it already had, Mrs. Diane Lewis said. Hart was not the only Democrat who got into trouble. Joe Biden dropped out of the race because his plagiarism was exposed. The remaining Democratic candi- dates were Jesse Jackson, Gary Hart, Paul Simon, Richard Gephardt, Bruce Babbit, and Al Gore. Republican candi- dates were Robert Dole, George Bush, Pat Robertson, Alexander Haig, Pete Dupont, and Jack Kemp. The Democrats needed a candidate that hadn ' t been in trouble. Hart could have had a chance but he messed up. Of the Republicans, Bush was the best, sophomore Rob Westra said. The best two candidates were George Bush and Robert Dole. They had been in the longest and had the most experience. They also weren ' t a part of the Democratic party, which would probably help because of all the trouble some of the Democrats were having, Lewis said. — Julie Chickedantz In order to gain support, Sen.

I was sitting in my living room watching television when I felt my chair shake, junior Diana Sheets said. I thought someone was just kicking it. All of the commotion they felt and heard was not actually due to any of these sources, but to an earthquake. Centered in Lawrenceville, Illinois, the earthquake was felt across sixteen states, from Missouri to South Caroli- na, and parts of Canada. This was the largest one that had occurred in this area in nearly twenty years, measuring 5.0 on the Richter Scale. Because of the earthquake was such an out-of-theordinary event, many people remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing when it hit. I was in a bus in Chi-Chi ' s parking lot, sophomore Heather Jones said. When I felt the bus moving, I thought it was just someone outside shaking the bus until I realized that there was no one there. I was in my basement sitting on a couch, freshman Vivian Nitecki said. I was praying at the time, and when the earthquake hit I was so paranoid. I had no idea what it was and I didn ' t want to know. Although the earthquake was eerie for some, many also enjoyed the uniqueness of it. I thought the earth- quake w as cool, senior Chad Van- natta said. It was interesting because nothing like that usually happens in Fort Wayne. — Sara Hebel Ramps, elevator rise to accessibility When the new Concordia building was first constructed in 1963, some things were left out; and, as a result, the building was inaccessible to students in wheelchairs.

Photo: McBnde the school ' s original architect, has been in the process of redesigning parts of the school in order to meet the need.

Upon its completion before the 1988 school year. Concordia will be the only parochial high school that is accessible, and will join Wayne and Northrop in accessibility. Accessibility is an excellent idea. The elevator will be able to benefit other students as well, like those on crutches, or with other temporary dis- abilities. senior Darcy Robinson said. Although much of the school will need alterations, parts are already ac- cessible. According to Sherbondy. the auditorium, which is equipped with ramps both on the inside and on the outside, is one of those areas. — Michelle Dorothy Mini-Mag Placing his Those Two Guys lor mayor sign in his locker, senior Ed DeWitt ad|usts the poster so it will tit- Charlie Butcher and Tony Richards campaigned tor the position and held a tomato throwing contest just for the tun ot it with some ol the candidates. Photo: Cook Choosing mayor and selling a team among Fort Wayne ' s politics The election of the mayor, confusion in the Sharon Lapp case, and other topics revolving around these issues caused the politics in Fort Wayne to involve many debates. I thought the Lapp case caused a lot of debates and was fuel for Helmke ' s fire. It gave Helmke some- thing to talk about and boosted his ego, sophomore Rob Westra said. First came the issue of the Sharon Lapp case. Evidence came to the sur- face that the procedures used In han- dling the case were unprofessional, and it was thought that the police involved had destroyed evidence to cover up acts performed previously by the police department. It was suspect- ed that Lapp had inside information on city officials, and members of the de- partment knew of her files. The circle of chaos caused by the Lapp case caused speculations about who was involved in the murder; this caused excitement and large debates In the city campaign for mayor. De- bates between the two candidates were held, and the Lapp issue was often brought up along with the fact that Mayor Moses ' younger brother was a suspect in a murder case. Campaigning was another major part of the mayoral elections. After being chosen as a late candidate, Paul Helmke started his visual campaigning by placing yard signs in properties. It had originally been stated that no visu- al campaigning could start until 60 days before official campaigning would begin. Declaring this unconstitutional, Helmke took it to court and won. Finally, in the November 3 elections Helmke defeated Moses by 7.7 percent of the votes. The final tally of the votes was Helmke with 26,194 and Moses with 24,179. On January 1, 1988, at noon, Helmke was sworn in. Shortly after entering his new position, Helmke ap- pointed Neil Moore as the new Police Chief. After the election, Helmke and Mo- ses continued to dispute, but this time it was on the issue of the city ' s fund- ing for certain city departments and organizations. In addition to the run with Fort Wayne politics, there was also the selling and buying of the Komet hockey team. Declaring bankrupt- cy, the team was either facing a new owner or no team at all. On August 1, 1987, David Welker bought the team for $300,000 from the previous owner, Bob Ritt. After the purchase, Welker decided to keep the present coach, Robbie Laird. Laird was named the Most Valuable Coach of all North American League coaches and coached the Komets to winning the International Championship. It ' s good that the team got a new owner because after the buy they recruited players and had a winning season, senior Craig Lm- nemeier said. — Allison Staak Long year of practice ends after players and teams clench post-season championships As sure as finding the Lakers and the Celtics in the NBA championship, sports fans across the nation could once again count on exciting culmina- tions of seasons from an array of sporting events.

I would set my alarm clock for 6:00 and then just lay in bed and listen to the radio for 15 more minutes until I was ready to get up. Sometimes I wouldn ' t get out of bed because I was having so much fun listening to the bizarre things Charlie and Tony would do, junior Kristin Bierlem said. The radio stations and their person- alities were known to pull some off- the-wall stunts. It was really funny when Charlie and Tony ran for the mayor ' s office. If I were of age, I would have voted for them, junior Neil Hudson said. I thought it was hilarious when the personalities of WAJI balanced eggs during the equinox, junior Katie Vogel said.

Food stops like Burger King and TCBY found themselves frequented often by hungry Cadets look- ing for something a little differ- ent to eat. 1 crave TCBY at least once a week. There ' s one in Georgetown, near my house, so it ' s very convenient, and I go there at least once a week, junior Julie Flora said. Students even found irregu- lar dishes outside the state. 1 had Beef Pasty up in northern Michigan once. It ' s beef, potatoes, cheese, on- ions, green peppers, and cloves, all wrapped up in dough. Even though it was hard to cut through, it was great! senior Chad Vannatta said. At times students spent a lit- tle extra for eccentric ' ' food, but they also used their own imagination to eat something unorthodox. I love to eat peanut buttei on bananas and apples, flo- ra said. Just imagine sweet chunky syrup, Vannatta said. I like- to eat cottage cheese with syr- up on top. Often students ate or played with food just for fun. Senior Chris Wehrmeister even de- veloped simplified methods of preparing a couple of Ameri- can classics. I eat cold wieners cause I ' m too lazy to wait for the mi- crowave to cook them. I also like to snack on cold, Pillsbury biscuit or cookie dough. Vannatta cites apple eating as a super way to get to know somebody.

It didn ' t seem like the gym at all, and the decora- tions made it look more ele- gant ' sophomore server Dave fiorstman said. It was a very important event this year because it was our fifth annual auction. The total net for all of the years put together was a half million dollars, Katt said. Over 300 people, including students, teachers, parents, and friends of Concordia helped with the large-scale event. I thought it would be fun to work, so I signed up and had a fun time, sophomore Paula Snyder said. All my friends were work- ing, so I thought we would all have a fun time working to- gether. I ' m going to do it again next year, junior Britt Max- well said. Katt said, If it weren ' t for all the volunteers, we wouldn ' t have been able to do it. They all did a great job and spent a lot of time helping the cause. — Allison Staak While relaxing. Major Tibor Bicrbaum and Mr. Art Boseker strike up a con- versation.

I liked the characters ' parts because they could be so sarcastic, ' junior Michelle Roberts said. It was fun to act silly. The rehearsals and perfor- mances of the musical The Mi- kado were often silly. I re- member laughing very hard, musical director Mr. Tim La- Croix said. The funniest thing was when Kristin (Baumgartner) and 1 were skipping on stage during rehearsal. She stepped on the back of my pants and pulled them down, senior Cory Wietfeldt said. Sometimes even seemingly simple and routine things were fun. People don ' t usual- ly think of bowing as being fun, sophomore Qina Ca- vener said. But because we had trouble coordinating our bows, it was neat when we fi- nally got everyone doing them simultaneously. Funny moments arose even while working on difficult coor- dination. Coordinating kiss- es with St eve Chen in our duet was hard, Roberts said. Sometimes we bashed noses or would miss and kiss the other person ' s ear. The reactions of the audi- ence made it even more fun. The performances were very strong and fast-paced. The cast relied on the audience re- sponse to make them that way, dramatic director Mr. Dave Kusch said. The performances were fun because people were en- joying it and laughing, soph- omore Debbie Grim said. — Sara flebel During a dress rehearsal. Pish-Tush.

School days were filled with memories of late night study- ing, nodding off in class, and the anxiety involving the first report card. Despite the possi- ble tension of academics, a fun side also existed. When we talked about his- torical figures, Mr. Fluegge act- ed out and exaggerated char- acters. He would also lift my chair up off the ground while he was speaking and flip his tie which made me burst into laughter junior Katie Harris said. Speech class was a blast.

In Mrs. Wiehe ' s class, we wrote book reports as diary entries instead of in stan- dard form, and made post- ers to try and sell our book to other students, fresh- man Mandy Hoth said. All English students found that their classes in- volved more than reading and grammar. Sophomores were also required to take one En- glish class: English 10. But along with the freshmen course, this class wasn ' t all grammar and writing either. Projects designed to inter- est the student were imple- mented. Mr. Oetting designated every Friday as creative writing day, and we wrote things that only he would read, sophomore David Ridderheim said. English electives provid- ed juniors and seniors with a choice, and new to the de- partment were the two classes English 11 C (com- position), and English 11 L (literature). We hoped the students would benefit from a wide range of subjects, designed to allow them to feel they were being helped to reach their potential. We offered 18 different courses taught on varying levels.

Very often students felt Do you know how fn w an of the buttons on your calculator? Yes 19% no 81% this way about their class- es, so the math department decided to take a different approach to teaching. Students didn ' t learn just from lectures, they needed to see what they were doing and needed to understand the concepts that they were working with, Mr. Don Luepke said. I tried to relate the use of math problems to situa- tions that might arise in jobs ' Mr. Don Reinking said. Many times teachers used a variety of objects to interest their students. I would use anything I could get my hands on; soap bubbles, tinker toys, wooden blocks, rubber bands. I would do anything it took to get my point across, sometimes that meant going to any ex- treme. Once I even stood on my head to prove a point, ' ' Luepke said. Because of the number of new computers that were given to the school, there were many more opportuni- ties to use the computers extensively in the class- rooms. The computers were very ' helpful in aiding the students with difficult math problems. When the teachers made it evident to the students that they were excited and interested in what they were teaching, the students were easily motivated. I tried to show that I en- joyed math and hopefulh that rubbed off on the stu- dents, ' ' Reinking said. — Kim Klausmeier Math Department 4H ••r«e q u i r e d • •••••••••••••• ••• Flaying with fire, seniors Christy sen burner and molded ordinary Brink and Carmela Harris deftly glass into an assortment of flasks, work lips onto their polished glass funnels and stirring rods.

Participation in class- room discussions and labs afforded teachers as well as students the opportunity to discover much more about their natural environment and how it affects man. I enjoyed science class- es because they gave me the chance to learn about the creation all around me, senior Mark Schmidt said. In order to develop a more complete under- standing of classroom lec- ture topics, science teach- ers made it a point to include labs in their weekly schedules.

I looked forward to labs because they let me do and see something actually happening instead of just trying to listen and take notes all the time, junior Geoff Brooks said. To increase the time available for students to im- plement lab work, $7000 was raised during the 1986 Christmas Auction to re- build the chemistry lab. Mew water, gas and electri- cal facilities were made possible by contributions of money and time. In addition to extending lab facilities, we hope to construct a glass display case on the third floor, con- taining ongoing projects for all student interests, Schamber said. Additions to curriculum were being planned as well. Advanced Chemistry and Biology are being dis- cussed, and Physics II, a zero hour secondary lev- el Physics class met 50 min- utes daily before school. It wasn ' t always fun get- ting up so early in the morn- ing, but it created addition- al opportunities for accelerated physics stu- dents, Mr. Jeff Limmer said.

When I thought of social studies, I thought of dates, people, and wars, junior Becky Qetnmer said. As dates, people and wars — or, in other words History — did fall under the category of social studies, so did geography, psychol- ogy, sociology, and eco- nomics. And though the subject matter was some- times thought of as boring, there were ways of making the interest level high. 1 usually used my loud voice to keep people awake, Mr. Jack Massucci said. I also gave the stu- dents different activities to do. We did puzzles and jeopardy for review. We would put people together to work on debates and let them pretend they were newspaper reporters and write on a subject. If you could have voted or did vote, in the mayoral election, who would you have voted for (between raul Helmke and Win Moses)? I tried to find the humor- ous ways people acted and present those to the class. People were so unpredict- able that there were many humorous things I would find and we could look at and laugh at. I would also try to relate the events I talked about to things that happen everyday, Mr. Art Pinnow said. We played games and did puzzles and things like that which made it easier to learn. I would have much rather learned by having fun than just sitting and lis- tening to someone just talk. It was also fun to watch some of the movies be- cause they were so dumb they were funny junior De- Breia Williams said. It wasn ' t just games that made social studies fun.

One junior religion class, John Contemporary Prob- lems, was popular with most students. The class wasn ' t as strict as other classes; we mostly had class discussions. There was no set topic to talk about, and we were able to express our own opinions, junior Joel Springer said. Mr. LaCroix would re- search the topic we were on and then ask us how we felt about it, junior Shawn Pat- terson said.

Around deadline times, staff members were known to vegetate on couches and eat containers of frosting. When I had to cut out lines to get my story exact, I loved being able to lie down and relax, ' ' junior Kim Klausmeier said. Despite the work and stress, most staff members found the experience fun. 1 never thought it would have been this much fun.

It was more than just writing for Lu-Mi; it was hard work. It was difficult for me when I had to write my own stories as well as lay out and design pages. It be- came pretty hectic, but the reward was getting it done on time and producing a good paper, junior Amy Rickner said. Although covering a story was difficult, the important factor was working as a team. It ' s important that we worked as a team be- cause if the writers didn ' t get their work done on time, then the editors couldn ' t lay out the papers. We all relied on each other to get things done, ' ' Rickner said. The new members of the Lu-fli staff added to the ef- fort of team cooperation. The new staff members seemed to get into the hang of things fast. They made our job easier, senior An- gie Tennison said. Troubles came when con- troversial issues came up, such as subjects dealing with members of the faculty or individual students. Whether or not it should be printed was a tough deci- sion the staff had to make. Gail Reddemann and I de- cided whether to put news in by taking it over with Mrs. flebel and the whole staff. We decided whether the in- i T H formation would help read- ers or disturb them. Usually information was put in if it informed the students in some way, ' ' senior Sara Marhenke said. One important aspect of journalism was interviewing the right person and getting the right answers. It ' s very important to find people who have good things to say and people who stu- dents would be interested reading about, sopho- more Brenda Keiss said.

Some stu- dents decided to take skill classes in which they had an opportunity to develop such talents. I enjoyed being able to draw and design things, and 1 especially liked the feeling I received when I had completed a project, junior John Martin said. Skill was stressed in both the business and industrial arts departments. Good hand-and-eye coordination was an ingredient found in both of these classes. Patience was probably the most important skill that I learned from draft- ing, junior Dan Twomey said. The teachers that taught skill classes said that they often enjoyed watching their students ' skills im- prove and progress. I enjoyed being with young men and women who were willing to learn about things that might come in handy later in life. It gave me a good fe eling to see the students learn and develop their skills, ' Mr. Fred Weiss said. 1 got excited when 1 saw a student ' s improvement. I liked to teach lifetime skill classes, ' ' Mr. Wayne Pan- ning said. It felt good to watch the students learn about oper- ating machines safely, Mr. Richard Wert said. The skills students at- tained from these classes may be very helpful to them in the future. I ' m planning on major- ing in business at I.U., and the skills that I learned in Advanced Business will help me in college, senior Erika Taylor said. I received an under- standing of what it takes to produce a product in the designing and planning stages. This has helped me to realize how much work and skill must go into a pro- ject. This should also be a good base for a future job as a draftsman, junior Jeff Bradtmiller said. — Kim Klausmeier If you had to, could you balance a checkbook?

What do all these foreign words have in common? They are all a way of saying Hello in the various for- eign languages offered here. 1 decided to take Span- ish mainly because most colleges were impressed if you had taken at least two years of a foreign language. I also picked it because it interested me the most, senior Debra Bradtmueller said. Some students had to be pushed a little to take a for- eign language, but in the end decided that it was for the best. My mom sort of helped me into a foreign language, then I decided that Latin was the best choice be- cause it was the basic struc- ture of all languages, sophomore Cassie Franklin said. Many colleges are begin- ning to look for applicants who have had two or more years experience in a for- eign language; this supplies a reason, other than just for fun, for students to partici- pate in the program. I took French for two reasons, the first being that it really expanded my view of the world, also because it was a good college prepara- tion course. It has become really important to take a foreign language before en- tering college, ' junior Kris- ten Bierlein said. Considering this com- mon trend among colleges, many students were begin- ning to feel that a foreign language should be re- quired in the high school curriculum. A foreign language should be required be- cause it expanded your out- look on the world. It was a good experience, one I think that everyone should have had, Franklin said. 1 think a foreign lan- guage should definitely be required in high school. In every other country the kids were required to take En- glish. It was sort of the uni- versal language. I think that the United States really takes advantage of that as they don ' t really put forth the effort to communicate with other countries in their native tongue, Bierlien said. — Danielle Tucker While sitting on top of a univent, junior Amie Dorman paints a win- dow scene during a Latin Club meeting.

Since ver- balization is the most effec- tive form of communication we know, being good at it was important, ' ' junior Becky Qemmer said. What I enjoyed most was the unique way each team member got involved in speech. With roughly ten areas of competition, stu- dents had a variety of events to choose from, and what they chose reflected their personalities and not just their abilities. Seeing a team member be success- ful and place at meets was fun. Winning an occasional trophy wasn ' t bad either, ' ' adviser Mr. Dave Kusch said. A group of students who enjoyed being involved with contemporary Christian drama, song, and dance formed an official drama group called The Troupe. Troupe allowed me to witness my faith and com- municate to others the good news of Christ through singing and drama, which were two things that I enjoyed very much, - ' soph- omore Shauna Alexander said. Watching the students get into a dance or piece of music was really fun, and watching an audience re- spond was especially enjoy- able, Kusch said.

A recently passed amendment to the Student Council consitution had created widespread contro- versy. Council officers and representatives found themselves barraged with a flood of questions from stu- dents who felt that their opinion had not been repre- sented fairly in the deci- sion. I think the leaders should have given the homeroom representatives more time to inform the general student body what was actually going on, senior Andy Reinking said. In spite of the confusion, Mr. Tim Ewell, student ac- hange, challenge council tivitics coordinator, stressed that no constitu- tional rules had been bro- ken. We followed the proce- dures which were outlined for amending the govern- ment, and the change will make the system better, Ewell said. Although 1 felt that the students who were con- cerned had a legitimate rumble, steps were taken to inform the homerooms through the representa- tives. It just displays that faultiness of the system we have now, and why it need- ed to be changed, Student Council President Matt Smith said. In addition to changes in government structure, the council instituted new ideas from watermelon seed spit- ting at Anything Goes and spirit contests during bas ketball season, to a Sup i Bowl challenge to bi n fil SCAh, a child abuse help program. Coupled with innovation, members found that Iheir efforts spawned success. The freshman party was at- tended by a record 202 stu- dents. Homecoming events also broke number records, and blood drives, the Christmas Dance, Morp, and Touch of Class became popular events for the stu- dents to participate in and enjoy.

However, busy schedules often didn ' t allow as much time for fun as many people wished they did. This forced stu- dents and teachers to take time out just to have fun.

One of the things Science Club members regularly at- tended for fun was the piz- za movie party. These parties were always fun and interesting, sophomore David Lange said. What we did in the Science Club was very unstructured. We just kind of fooled around. Although many found this club interesting, only a few people showed up for meetings. People often thought the club was only for brains, but it wasn ' t. We were just there to have fun in a scientific way. ' junior Chris Stinson said. The Computer Club also had trouble gaining an abundance of members. The biggest problem we had was scheduling meet- ings so everyone could make them, senior Phil Forsberg said Although some had prob- lems fitting Computer Club into their schedules, others were in it to keep busy. I liked being in this club be- cause it gave me something to do, junior Amy Helm said. You didn ' t even have to be a computer expert; you were taught all you needed to know.

The FCA camp was August 3 through August 7 at The National Indiana Camp in Marshal, Indiana. Students spent four hours of their trip in a classroom learning ways of handling a discussion in a huddle situ- ation and how to get closer to God. Other lessons that were learned were how to take 10 minutes out of a day and turn it into a quiet time with God. It helped me get a better perception of God.

Members of the Peer Coun- selors offered confidential help to students in any type of situation. I just wanted to be avail- able to students for any- thing they were concerned about, to provide a positive place for them to open up and release their emotions. It was important to me to listen to what they had to say and suggest avenues for them to check out, with- out necessarily giving them advice, junior Tom Moel- lering said. no one needed to feel embarrassed or ashamed about meeting with a coun- selor because everything was always kept secret. All problems were discussed in complete confidence. When peers confided in us, we counselors did not even discuss sessions amongst each other, junior Julie Flora said. Another section of people provided assistance to fel- low peers. Members of the Worship Committee met to- gether to plan special cha- pel services, such as the chapel for the hungry. They worked up an order of ser- vice to be followed, and they selected favorite hymns and Bible passages through brainstorming their ideas and compromising. The objectives of such a committee were sometimes not understood by the en- tire student body. We tried to get the students more ex- cited about going to chapel; we did not want them to feel it was a drag, senior Tammy Lagemann said. — Jennifer Mash Performing a skit during chapel, worship committee members sophomore Allison Staak and sen- ior Tammy Lagemann remind the student body about the role Ood plays in our life.

Good artwork took a long time to complete, and there usual- ly wasn ' t enough time to fin- ish it. Once you got it done, most people didn ' t appreci- ate the amount of work that was put into it, sopho- more Tammy Qick said. Art club met every Wednesday of the year, and spent their time working on various projects, like jewel- ry and clay. Art club gave us the op- portunity to work on pro- jects that we otherwise would not get to do in our normal art classes, ' ' junior Keri Springer said. To most, art club provid- ed not only an outlet to their emotions but provid- ed the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the world. Having experience in the arts helped to make you a well rounded person for careers, junior Shelly Bur- gette said. To the majority of the art club members, art wasn ' t only serious, but also a really good time. Art was a great way to express yourself, but the best part was that it gave us more time to goof off and tease Mrs. Grossman, ' Springer said. Some of the best times we had in art club were when Chris Stinson would act really strange. We prob- ably spent more time laughing than we did actu- ally creating art, said Bur- gette. In regards to the saying, art is long and time is fleet- ing, Stinson had a definite opinion. Art will survive in every- thing while time whizzes by, art is stable and will pevail in every aspect of li fe, Stin- son said. — Danielle Tucker During the Christmas season, the art club painted the windows of the student lounge, freshman Robin Springer adds her personal touch with a stocking.

Not just sweat and odor E A«T«E R S Because the room had been shut up all day at an incredible temperature, sweat streamed from the pores of the wrestlers as they pushed themselves to the limit. The more they worked, the more they sweated. Along with this sweat came an unpleasant odor that not even an odor-eat- er could cure. The wrestling room got so hot that we had to bring three shirts to practice because we would sweat so much ' junior Chad Chapman said. Though sweat was accepted as a part of many sports, there were other parts of these activities that were enjoyable to most of the par- ticipants. ' Playing football was pretty fun.

I made friends with the others on the team. — sophomore Blake Benz M«E rM S, rock skipping add zest Preseason conditioning, endless miles of running, and daily practices. The very things which made cross country a hard sport to endure made this season enjoyable for the boys ' cross country team. Practices were the best part, junior Brad Cox said. It was fun goofing off by skipping rocks on the river. - ' I liked conditioning be- cause that ' s when I started meeting everyone, fresh- man Jeff Mundt said. Meeting teammates was an important part of cross country. After running to- gether for almost three months, strong friendships were formed. The friends I had on the team made cross country fun. It turned it into something more so- cial, made it something fun junior Kenny Hoffman said. During meets, friendships pulled the team together for victories. These vic- tories began to add up as the members of the team realized that this had in- come a surprisingly suc- cessful season. ' During the middle of the season, we started to beat many teams. Then we realized that we might do something in Sec- tionals, Mundt said. Sectionals were excit- ing. It was neat because ev- erybody was enthusiastic and worked together, sen- ior Jason Matzke said. For the first time in four years, the boys ' cross coun- try team advanced to Re- gionals, placing fifth in Sec- tionals. Advancing was the high point of our season, Matzke said. Although the season end- ed at the Regional meet, there was little disappoint- ment. Tio one expected the boys to get out of Sec- tionals, coach Craig Hoff- man said. We went further than most people thought we could. We made others see us as a team to beat in the fu- ture, Kenny Hoffman said. — Sara Hebel Just before the start of the Sec- tional meet in which they placed fifth, the boys cross country team finds a way to literally hang togeth- er.

The runs were tough, but I al- ways seemed to make it to the finish, junior Wendy Qleave said. To overcome some of the exhaustion the runners did off-beat things to make run- ning more enjoyable. The members of the girls ' and boys ' cross-country teams made up their own version of the Brady Bunch with Mr. Craig Hoffman as their mentor. The two teams spent quite a lot of time to- gether. They got to know each other very well and had a lot of fun. Mr. Hoff- man was always there to look out for them, and I know they all appreciated that, sophomore manager Cara Caparaso said. Both teams encouraged each other, and the friendly atmosphere grew. It was fantastic having the guys there cheering for us. Hav- ing support while I ran was really more motivating than anything else, sophomore Laura Miller said. The season these girls shared was unique in that they never ran a meet in which every team member participated. The reason lor the absenteeism was the many injuries the girls en- countered. We had an un- usually high amount of seri- ous injuries this year, although the team per- formed well under these sometimes unfavorable- conditions. It made one wonder how well we would have aone had the entire team been healthy, coach Hoffman said. Being active in cross country did not mean all work and no play. Prac- tices were a lot of fun, we laughed all the time. Since we were such a tightly knit group, we discussed each other ' s problems and of- fered advice, junior Katie Harris said. — Jennifer Mash The leader of the pack may de- scribe sophomore Allison Staak as she paces her run with a strong stride.

We wanted to make a better reputation for the Concordia volleyball team. We were out to prove that we were tough junior Amy Rickner said. The team proved they were strong with their win- ning season and fourth- place finish in SAC. Beating Horthside twice and ad- vancing to a semi-final match in sectionals were two more indications of the team ' s growing success. We had a really good season and a good record. We made a lot of improve- ments this year. I was really proud of the girls. They had good attitudes and enjoyed themselves, coach Judy Teague said. To prepare for the games, the team had to look at their competition and ana- lyze the strategies different teams used. The night before the game our practice would depend on who we were playing. We would try to practice our sets and hits according to the patterns that the other teams used, Teague said. Working as a unit was a key factor for success. We came together — we were one team, not six individ- uals out there on the court, ' ' senior Shanna Pabst said. We worked together and had to be able to communi- cate with each other while we were playing, senior tri- captain Barb Kruse said. A unique part of the team was the amount of seniors compared to the number of juniors. We were able to establish a strong base be- cause we had so many sen- iors on the team. I hope to be able to lead the juniors next year the same way the seniors led us this year, Rickner said. — Allison Staak FRONT ROW: Amy Rickner. SECOND ROW: Mgr. Julie Laisure, Jill Sheets.

The season was very successful. We had some rough spots in the begin- ning, but we pulled togeth- er and made it a good year, sophomore Angie flollman said. With a successful season came work — hard work. I think the worst part about practices was running. If we had lost a game, Coach Watson would work us ex- tra hard the day after, sophomore Katrise Roland said. The team members all agreed that if you wanted to be on the team, you had to be willing to work. You couldn ' t expect to just sit around. The team couldn ' t use you if did; we worked together, freshman Jenny Long said. Although the extra work was at times difficult, it was appreciated by some team- mates. The work wasn ' t really that bad, and it paid off in the game againsl Luers. They were a really good team, and we needed that work in order to beat them, which we did, Ro- land said. When it came to the fun, the players agreed on the source. It was exciting be- ing with people you didn ' t normally see during the day, sophomore Kcnndra Thomas said. I also think it relaxed us to be playing the game with friends. We were more like a family. We could talk to each other about our prob- lems and just help each other through them, Moll- man said about the team ' s closeness. We didn ' t have a perfect season, but we are going to work hard for next year and do even better then, soph- omore Darah Romey said. We ' ll just have to concen- trate on working together more.

We all knew we were a good team, and we really played well against the bigger schools, junior Chuck Werth said. Each player knew that it wasn ' t through a stroke of luck that the team was en- abled to compete with oth- er schools which were four or five teams deeper. Suc- cess only followed hours of dedicated practice, and plain old hard work. With a team of only 34 players, most offensive men found themselves on the defensive side as well; and ' second stringers, ' ' de- spite their lack of playing time, became an intricate part of the football family. ' Throughout the season the whole team was pretty enthusiastic. Even the guys that didn ' t get to play very much were supportive, and that was very important, ' ' senior Kerry Tracey said.

' 7 really liked playing the game, and I got to meet new people and make new friends. — Onaje Oladuwa team through the season What happened when good times, sweaty summer prac- tices, glorious victories and agonizing defeats were mixed together? A bundle of hard working, fun loving guys that made up the freshman and reserve foot- ball teams came about. Being on the team gave the players plenty of satis- faction and many new friends. The team was like a sec- ond family. It was really sat- isfying for me, sophomore Nathan Bohnke said. The team also brought fun to the lives of the players. After we won our first game the whole team ran into the locker room and went wild. Everyone was really excited, said sopho- more Greg Marcom. Once all the sweaty sum- mer practices were over it was time for the season to begin. But with it came stunning victories and sad- dening defeats. Our greatest victory was against North Side, be- cause it was our only vic- tory. The greatest defeat was when Bishop Luers beat us seven to six, fresh- man Adam Qleave said. In the North Side game, we proved that we could compete with the big boys. We showed them that we were a worthy adversary, said Bohnke. Even though we were a losing team, we performed well most of the time. It was really fun, said Qleave. Bohnke summerized the reserve ' s season well. The team had a growing reputation. I hope people will see that in the near fu- ture we ' re going to be a win- ning team. — Danielle Tucker The freshman team glares into the eyes of their opponents while in the line up. waiting for the game to begin.

It ' s even tougher when the new play- ers must begin a season with a brand new coach. Consequently, the relation- ship this past season was give-and-take between the coach and the players. Mistakes were made, but if we hadn ' t made those mistakes, we would not have been able to learn from them, senior captain Mark Mash said. The season will be re- membered as a growing year. 1 think our big draw- back was a lack of experi- ence. We were such a young team and the attitudes were positive, but we were just a young team, - ' coach Tony Amstutz said. For Amstutz, it was his first year of coaching at Concordia. Amstutz be- lieved he brought experi- ence from playing with oth- er teams. 1 know first-hand what it ' s like playing on a team, ' ' Amstutz said. The players agreed with Amstutz. There was no one on the varsity team who was on it last year, so we really had a lack of expe- rience, ' ' Mash said. There were quite a few good things about this sea- son. I think one of the best things about it was getting to meet new people junior Mark Plassman said. Another good part about the season was getting away from all the pres- sures, junior Eric Bieber- ich said. It was nice just to get out and hit around after school and concentrate on nothing but tennis. Although there were many optimistic times throughout the season, there were also some less optimistic times. The sea- son was a little less suc- cessful than expected, but that was, again, due to a lack of experience, Mash said. Coach Amstutz summed up the past season and his hopes for future seasons at Concordia as excellence waiting to happen. This year, the good out- weighed the bad by quite a bit; it was really a fun year and 1 think it will be used as a building block for future years and other teams, Nash said. — Susan Stalder BACK ROW: Matt Luepke.

These were two different words with two dif- ferent meanings that accu- rately described the golf team as two sets of sisters participated. Sophomore Trudy Robin- son and her sister senior Darcy Robinson, as well as freshman Jill Reddemann and sister senior Gail Red- demann got along well when it came to golf. We ' re not rivals we ' re friends, ' ' Q. Reddemann said. She admitted that she and Jill teased each other often. We treated each other as friends, yet we still got mad at each other just as friends do, T. Robinson said. It was great to have someone to practice with over the summer. ' ' The girls found summer a great time to practice. Practicing was always great because it kept us competitive. We ' re fairly equal, although we ' re work- ing to beat our own score, D. Robinson said. However, there wasn ' t much competition between the sisters during the sea- son because they both wanted the other to play well. You ' re not quite as com- petitive because you don ' t want to kick her out of her position. You want the oth- er to do as well as you, T. Robinson said. Golf could ' ve been played just for the reward of seeing improvement. It was great just seeing yourself getting better over the season. That ' s the rea- son that you play — to see yourself get better, junior flallie Smith said. It helped when we were all working for the same goal — having played to our potential and beaten the other team, D.

It was this spirit that the members of the cheer- leading squads, as well as the members of the pom pon squad, tried to stimu- late and maintain in the sometimes apathetic atmo- sphere of the crowds. What we aimed to do, as cheerleaders, was motivate the crowds and get them into the games, varsity senior co-captain Becky Schoenherr said. The way in which a crowd reacted to a game was greatly affected by the atti- tude of those inspiring the enthusiasm; if the cheer- leaders were not hyper and excited themselves, many times the crowd took on the same attitude. 1 worked hard at keep- ing myself in high spirits and setting a good example in front of the crowd, re- serve junior Arbie Barnes said. Performing in front of crowds was not a mere hour and a half of impromp- tu for the cheerleaders. Be- ing a cheerleader could cut into the amount of free time one possessed. We prac- ticed almost every day dur- ing school. Sometimes we stayed all night at school making signs, and we were also expected to attend nearly all sporting events.

The thrill of victory be- came a frequent occur- rence felt by the varsity team. It was awfully fun to win! This was the first year our opponents were always up for us. We were expected to win, so we always had to play our best, senior John Daenzer said. Experience and a good attitude were ingredients in the Cadet ' s winning sea- son. All the starters were back from last year and had been playing together since their freshman year. The experience they had often made the difference in close games, Coach Glenn Parrish said. The fact that we all got along so well and were posi- tive helped to make us a winning team junior Doug Reincke said. The team grew closer to- gether and had fun as they enjoyed what preceded Sat- urday morning practices. We would eat breakfast at Atz ' s on Saturdays before practice. I enjoyed it be- cause it provided us with a chance to talk and relax, Parrish said. The voice of each player was heard after games as the words of the song Var- sity echoed throughout the locker room. The sing- ing of the song after games was a tradition.

The warm- ups were one negative thing the boys ' reserve basket- ball team had to complain about this past season. Even though the team made sarcastic remarks about the warm-ups, the coaches found them to be a big money maker. After the games every- one just threw their warm- ups in a big pile on the floor and didn ' t realize they were missing until the next game, because no one real- ly liked them. Then we had to pay Coach Ma«succi three dollars to get them back, ' ' junior Kevin Beck said. Even though the team had to pay ransom to col- lect their sweats, they said they still had respect for the coaching staff and enthusi- asm for the program. These built the foundation for growing and exciting sea- sons for freshman and re- serve basketball teams. ' Our relationship with Coach (Jack) Massucci was good. Me related to the team and got his point across to each player, ' ' Beck said. Even though the fresh- man team didn ' t have a winning season statistical- ly, they thought they had become closer and learned to work together as a team. Our record didn ' t show how good we were. Our coach did everything he could, but we just never got the breaks, ' ' freshman Steve Perry said. The reserve team, howev- er, did get some breaks. The players thought they had a great season because of the fact that they worked well together, no matter who was on the court. When players from the bench came on and starters went out, we still played as a team.

' ' — senior Julie Jarvis I overshadowed by laughs Being Against All Odds ' was a description of what the gymnastics team faced. I chose our theme Against All Odds ' because we started out the season with injuries and the loss of six seniors. Many saw us as not real contenders in meets, head coach Miss Vicki Wright said. We felt differently, and everyone worked hard to overcome the odds. The team started out the season with two months of practice before their first meet. The practices were hard but important. We had to learn our routines and perfect them, sophomore Nicole Qevers said. Wright said she was proud of the team because they were determined and never had a die ' attitude, even when injuries seemed to be at their worst. We struggled through the season with injuries. Because of our closeness and the potential we had, it was worthwhile, freshman Missy Mensley said. We never competed against each other, but cheered each other on and gave one another support, ' senior co-captain Julie Jar- vis said. We looked at the season as a time for re- building because of having lost many teammates. Although the days were filled with tough practices and heavy workouts, they were also full of fun times to be remembered. Rhonda Schroeder, the assistant coach, added a fun change by bringing liveliness and spiritedness with her to practices which kept every- one pepped up, Wright said. The team agreed that the funniest thing that hap- pened was watching Wright trip over anything at almost every practice. — Tonja Zelt Determined to keep her balance, sopho- more Kristen Stinson performs a scale on the beam while team members watch.

During the practices not only was strength acquired but disci- pline as well. Wrestling really helped with discipline; it taught me how to handle difficulties that happened in life jun- ior Ron Kruse said. Although working out strenuously for two to three hours may not have sound- ed like fun, wrestlers found some fun in it. The fun thing about wrestling was the fact that it kept me in shape, sopho- more Tim Jones said. High goals were set on both team and individual levels, but the results didn ' t always end up as hoped for. As an individual, I thought the season went well, and as a team I thought we were lucky be- cause we did as well as we did, but 1 felt we could have done better, senior Dave Lepper said. Lepper ended his season at regionals with a 23-1 record. We worked together and stuck together during prac- tices and meets and pulled for one another during matches, Kruse said. The fun thing about coaching was that we didn ' t always take wrestling all that seriously. A funny thing that happened during the season was when the team threw me into the whirlpool one day after practice; then the next week was Neil Hud- son ' s birthday so then he got thrown in, head first. The attitude was if we lost, it was okay as long as we had done our best, Coach Ed LeBeau said. — Allison Staak fROriT ROW: Chad Chapman, Ron Kruse, Rob duller.

But the winning made all the trial and tribulations worth it, junior Jeff McBride said. Out on the mat the ten- sion built. Many comments were shouted by coaches and fans alike: shoot, take him down, stick him, drive it. Although those words served a purpose, they of- ten went unheard by the wrestlers themselves. When 1 was out on the mat, all I could think about was the moves I needed to execute to win. I was com- pletely oblivious to the re- actions and commands of the coaches, junior Don Olson said. Wrestling was sometimes regarded as completely an individual sport, but the team did pull together to help its members. To me, wrestling was an individual effort which utilized all of my abilities, although the coaches and wrestlers did work together to create a more personable environ- ment. They brought us closer together, freshman Scott Twomey said. Hours upon hours of time were spent training — run- ning, lifting weights, doing drills and wrestling. Prac- tices were intense and de- manding of each wrestler. At times I did not even want to go to practice, but I knew that I had to. They were always tough, but made me a much stronger and wiser wrestler. The coaches really did what was best for us, freshman Dave Werth said. Even outside of tin wres tling room, wrestlers had to concentrate on their sport. Excellent physical condi- tion was a necessity for top performance on the mat. Regular eating habits sometimes had to be ad- justed to drop weight. In the beginning of the sea- son, l had to lose five pounds to make weight at 135 pounds. It was rough — I did it through starva- tion. I would eat for five days before a meet, and the last two days before a match I just did not eat. That was the worst part, go- ing into the lunchroom, and seeing everyone else eat- ing, but knowing that I could not, freshman Adam Qleave said. — Jennifer hash RESERVE WRESTLING FRONT ROW: Asst.

The girls ' varsity basketball team had a record of 11-8, the best since 1972. Pursuing that record took work, and there were long hours involved. Some- times it was hard to keep in there, but the results truly paid off, junior Mandy Burkholder said. Everyone c racked on the girls ' basketball team, so we wanted to start a win- ning tradition to make it a respectable sport, ' ' junior Carrie Blad said. Although breaking a record took teamwork, each player had her own strategy for making it a suc- cess. One night I stayed af- ter practice and just shot free throws. My free throw percentage from then on went up, junior Katie Vo- gel said. I felt the team competi- tion helped out my game. I played against teams who really knew what the) w r doing,- it helped me play un- der stress, Burkholder said. The team was coached by Mr. Dan Albertin, and team members felt that the ma- jority of the success was be- cause of the coach. When we were not doing so well, the coach complimented us and told us we could do it if we tried and put our minds to it. Me told us we could prove those with negative attitudes wrong. It gave us something to shoot for, junior Lori Wolff said. Although the game and the record were important, each player had her own personal reward from the hours put in. I felt the best reward from all the work was the closeness the team shared and the friendships the team built up, Vogel said. — Amandia Snell GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL: Laura Zelt. Car- Kruse.

Many factors contributed to the success of the sea- son, one of which was the fun of being on the team. It was fun just being able to play with friends you did not normally see during the day, ' ' sophomore Kenndra Thomas said. Other things, such as the togetherness and the close- ness of the team, contribut- ed to the success. The team worked really well to- gether. That was r eally evi- dent in our assist record, sophomore Katrise Roland said. The success, however, did not come easily to ei- ther team. Sometimes at the practices, we were all tired and just wanted to go home, but we had played badly at practice so we had to keep on practicing ' Thomas said. Other things, such as the repeatedly long, tiring prac- tices, were hard for the team. If we did well and were playing really good but the coach didn ' t take time to tell us that we were doing well, it was kind of discouraging, ' ' freshman Tahitia Burnett said. Both teams needed something to keep them going when things got tough; motivation. What kept the reserves going was that everybody supported each other, even when we messed all up, Roland said. The practices held differ- ent significance for each player. They were really hard, especially running horses. If we didn ' t make 15 lay-ups in a row, we ran, Roland said.

As the announce- ments continued and sports scores were read off, it became apparent that this score wouldn ' t be an- nounced, and few people outside of the team would know of the victory. It was frustrating when our team didn ' t get the same kind of recognition that other teams did. We were good this year, and very few people knew it, junior A.J. Parker said. Recognition or not, the once heated controversy surrounding soccer ' s be- coming a varsity sport for both teams continued, but with a less noticeable fire. Soccer athletes opposed to its becoming a varsity sport spoke up also. Soccer ' s becoming a varsity sport would have drawbacks for me, because only two athletes from a high school team could play on an outside, or trav- eling team. I would benefit more if it stayed a club, ' ' sophomore Cara Caparaso said. The soccer club was simi- liar to a varsity sport in that hours upon hours of prac- tice were sometimes re- quired, and the results weren ' t always positive. One of the most memo- rable plays happened when two of our players scored goals for the other team, senior Kate Macke said. The positive record that the boys ' soccer club had proved that they had had a successful season. Addi- tional proof came when members of the team were selected to play in the Win- ter Cup Tournament. The success of the girls ' team was shown in the All-SAC selection of senior Lizzy Hash and junior Lori Wolff. In addition to success, fun was an element present in both teams. Games were a blast because it was a time when we could final- ly play; we could finally ap- ply what we practiced, ' ' Macke said. It was fun to play against other teams and organizations. The games moved so fast it was incredible; the action was non-stop, Shank said. — Michelle Dorothy Q D P n n n s •-. r, BOYS ' SOCCER CLUB EROHT ROW: Kevin Carstensen. David Ebert. Todd Boersma.

Both the bricks and the green chairs in the auditori- um were his personal art display.

This involvement could be a party work- er, a candidate, or just as an informed voter, Reddemann said.

A tuft of hair turned up or awry (usually over the forehead), as if licked by a cow. Webster ' s not-so-appealing description of cowlicks may have explained some of what students felt about theirs. ' I hated it be- cause it got in the way especially when my hair was short and it stuck up ' Chris Lindenberg said. Sometimes heredity was at fault for a cowlick. Though he had accused his dad of passing on the trait, Steve Chen has learned to accept and work with his cowlick. I like it now be- cause it added to my uniqueness and double cowlicks were pretty rare ' Chen said. This characteristic, which seemed unfair as a child, was worth a laugh. When I was a little kid and my hair was sticking up because of my cowlicks, kids would laugh at me and call me Alfalfa ' because they didn ' t un- derstand what a cowlick was, Chen said. As a kid, it didn ' t really matter if cowlicks were controlled or not, but as time progressed, stu- dents became more self-con- scious of them and started to work them into their hairstyles. Day after day, it seemed, hair- spray and other hair products became more of a necessity. Cowlicks were not only dis- liked by those that had them, but they also were an irritation to those who had to work with them. It used to be a problem for my barber to cut it but he gave me some mousse to put on it. It ' s not as much of a problem as it used to be, Mark Franke said. — Jamie Diehm Mark Franke tries desperately to make his cowlick behave.

When I was in a really really good mood and I was sure every- one was out of the house, I would sing in the shower to the songs on the radio or to one of my tapes, April Baer said. — Kim Klausmeier Freshme ■ HiH H y • m • a • n P i x«l e y Jennifer Hyman Bob Jacobs James Jones Chad Kahlenbeck Frank Kahn Heather Kennell Holli Kennell Calvin Keys Kellie Kilmer Benjamin Klage Stephanie Kneller Krista Knepper Melanie Knueppel Deborah Koch Russ Kohlun Matt Konow Chad Kueker Kristine Kuhn JinWoo Kwak Michelle Langeland Emily Lehrman Sarah Lewis Chris Lindenberg Bryan Lindsay Andrea Loechner Jennifer Long Kevin Macke Kevin Marks Hanefa Matha Heather Mcintosh Misty Mcintosh DeWayne Mendez Heather Meyers Donnell Miller Cindie Minartz Patricia Moehring Stephanie Moeller Kyle Moore Sonia Mullenix Jeff Mundt Joel Myers Rob Myers 4 Freshmen Deb nation Vivian Nitccki Onaje Olacluwa Matt Osbun Jackclinc Palacios Scott Parrot Ken Patterson Misty Peconge Lisa Pehlke Doug Peppier Andrea Perrey Steven Perry Brad Peterson Jennifer Peterson Jennifer Phillips Stacie Pieper Christa Pitcher Christy Pixley Blanket fuzz and wads of bubble gum caught in braces clamp teeth together, become a nuisance The orthodontist merrily walked over to his next patient, flashing his pearly white teeth at the next victim of his orthodontal work. As the patient clenched his fists, he realized that more pain was inevitable. This scene was familiar for those students who wore braces. The worst part was getting them tight- ened, Kim Flaningan said. The next day my mouth was always sore and I wouldn ' t want to eat anything. However, restraining from some foods might have been wise. Once I got a huge wad of gum stuck in my braces. I brushed my teeth again and again, but it wouldn ' t come out. After a couple days of eating, especially carrot sticks, it gradually wore away, Emily Lehrman said. Braces caused a number of other annoyances for those who wore them. Sometimes I got them snagged on a blanket and I ' d have fuzz caught in my braces, Stephanie Kneller said. Even though having braces was a pain, many freshmen found them worthwhile. I looked forward to hav- ing braces because 1 had a chance of looking better, Chris Dunlap said. Kneller agreed. I wanted braces because my teeth were ugly, she said. After I got them, I didn ' t like them, but it was fun to stay home when they hurt really bad. — Sara Hebel After lunch, Jamie Jones flosses his teeth in the school bathroom.

But this Halloween, chil- dren included Concordia freshmen. You ' re never too old to go trick-or- treating. It ' s fun for people of all ages, although people tended to give us looks when we trick-or-treated at their Age no criteria for fun-seeking freshmen when it comes to trick-or-treating on Halloween house, Laura Hetrick said. Trick-or-treating with friends was a lot of fun. You could trade masks and get twice as much candy, Joshua Bear said. Although the treating played a big role on Halloween, the trick part was the fun for some people. I ' ve gone TPing on Halloween before, Hetrick said. While Halloween was best known for trick-or-treating, but it was also thought of as a time to go out with friends. It ' s a lot of fun to go to the Haunted Castle, Steve Perry said. Another good way to spend Hallow- een was going to a party, Connie Robison said. Different people went trick-or-treat- ing for different reasons. I went trick- or-treating because it was fun to dress up and walk around, acting like an idiot, April Baer said. I went for the candy, Yolanda Turner said.

CLHS 1.9 8 8 Taculty Teachers threw up their arms to stress just as students wiped it out At 8:13, bright and early in the morning, the last few straggling students ran in, hoping not to be late to their first class. Then again, at 3:15, when the bell rang, the students were off to do their own thing, whether it was working or playing. But it was not only the students who went through this sometimes stressful day. And it was not only students who found fun and relaxing ways of getting rid of this stress. The thing I did everyday was go home, sit back in my nice comfortable chair, put my feet up, and read the pa- per from cover to cover. It really relaxed me! Mr. Jack Massucci said. I loved to run and swim, Mrs. Diane Lewis said, as she flexed and showed off her muscle. All my anger came out and I felt much better after 1 was done. Although teachers spent much time at school grad- ing papers and doing other school-related things, they also made time to have a little fun. About anything was fun for me that didn ' t have work in it! I was a real big sports fan, so 1 liked to watch almost any sport on TV. I also enjoyed playing euchre with Glenn Parrish and our wives. We also had fun when a bunch of us went over to Mr. Fluegge ' s house after football games, no matter if we had won or lost. When we were there, we would just sit around and talk and enjoy our- selves, Massucci said. We had a euchre club that my husband and I par- ticipated in. You had to be over 21 to play. We also at- tended tons of things hav- ing to do with my hus- band ' s work, which were pretty fun, Lewis said. — Julie Chickedantz FRONT ROW: Arlene Metel, Judy Sheets, Onnie Hauschild.

Media Specialist From World War II and rationing to the 1960s the hippie movement, methods of fun have changed and The year was 1946, World War II was coming to a close, and students across the country were carefree. It was a time of peace. We had no worries in high school, and we didn ' t think about college or jobs. We felt as if we could do anything, ' ' Mr. Art Pinnow said. While the rules, class atmo- sphere, and ways students had fun were similar to those of today, the culture was dif- ferent. We didn ' t have much money, and not many people had cars, ' ' Pinnow said, but we still went to movies and parties. The halfway mark between the 1940s and the 1980s was also a cultural time like no other. While the World War II era was filled with rationing and shortages, high school in the 1960s was filled with Beatlemania, protest, and chaos. The hippie movement and Haight-Ashbury were big; peo- ple were dying in war protests, and Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. Everything was going nuts, Mr. Paul Fluegge said. Having fun in a way that will never be recaptured, Fluegge and friends attended love- ins. There was dancing, poetry reading, and incense burning in the park, Fluegge said. — Michelle Dorothy OrriCE STArr FRONT ROW: nancy Mur- phy, Phyllis Gallant.

Wait fish? Yes, fish. A few bored sen- iors had added excitement to fourth hour by pouring small, orange feeder fish into kitchen- ware. By this act, the culprits created fun for themselves, and for some spectators as well. Creativity of school artists culminated into award winning artwork that was displayed at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art during the Scholastic Art Show. As the first art student to win such high awards, senior Chris Gordon captured honors when he was chosen as a Gold Key Blue Ribbon Finalist and was nomi- nated for the Hallmark Honor Prize. 1 was surprised and really stoked to find out that I had been nominated, because I hadn ' t even counted on getting into the con- test, ' - Gordon said. For three student musicians, junior Barry Jackisch, and sophomores Kim Wolfgram and Katherine Benninghoff, fun was created when the All-State Band selections were announced. In addition to the fun found inside of school, students also looked to extra-curricular activi- ties for excitement. Printing the paper (Frame of Reference) and getting away with it was great, ' ' senior Ric Kienzle said.
