Fireworks and balloons help encourage crowd to A«R-T«Y Hew cheers, the lifting off of balloons and fireworks were some new activities that made Homecoming night a little bit different. 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 , ,.

The Fun and Formal Indiana and Purdue tans got a little boisterous after school in the student lunge while exhibiting their fanatical spirit to all The Indiana-Purdue rivalry was strong and kicking throughout the year within the halls ot Concordia High. Photo: H. Smith B»L»AOK T-I-E B»IXJ«E J«E»A S Side -of— CLHS Tempers of the Knight help to distinguish true Hurriers from hot Boilers Indiana ' s awesome! What? No way! Purdue ' s the best! 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
