,gn we OM A- SUl'llONlORE we arrived in September, 1950, feeling just a little more important, a little more respected at Concordia. There was still the same system in everything when we started our sec- ond year at the prep - still the same study hours, the same field work, the same auditorium hours in the gym. And during this year we painted the girls locker room in the gym under the supervision of the Big Boyu himself . . . and ehose for our pin-up girl the second from the left in the Hastings J.V. cheering squad . . . Not, aware of it at the time, all of our work, studies, and undertakings were moulding our growth. knowledge, and leadership. 23 l Rl'ISllNl.-KN Needless to say, we were the least among many. Scapegoats and serv- ants. lied-makers and errand hoys, we had a hit ol' a juli adjusting our- selves to this strange, new life away from home. But as the year wore on. we soon overcame our homesick- ness and got into the routine of the fun, study, and the field work that was to be had in such ahundauee up here. The seniors our task-mash ers, and at the same time the olrject of our admiration, were actually what we looked forward to being someday - in maturity, experienee, and athletic aliilitv . . . and we thought we had igood models to emulate . . . ia N . . .
