157 Q 1555 I me 3, 1979 Greendale, Wisconsin New Freshrn 1979-80 Milwaukee Lutheran and Martin Luther high schools for the past few weeks have been helping Lutheran eighth graders prepare for their freshman year at the high schools. Beginning early in January, the principals and selected senior stu- dents from the high schools visited the-eighth grade classes, explaining the schools' academic and extra- curricular programs and speaking of the Lutheran High family in Christ. A week later the eighth graders and their parents met at the individual high schools for an open house, during which time there was oppor- tunity to ask questions and to tour the building en Prepare For Now eighth graders are register- ing for their .freshman year at the high schools, each student coming to the school with his' parents and sitting down and talking over his academic program with a faculty ad- visor -- Should l take one or two semesters ofP.E.'? Should I take a foreign language this year or wait until my sophomore year? Should l sign up for freshman chorus or try out for the girls' con- cert choir? So many questions, but easy to cope with when there are people to help and advise. Many of the Class of '83 are now eagerlyq anticipating fall for the beginning of a new step in their education --' at Milwaukee Lutheran or Martin Luther High School. artin Luther Snow Closing Are Very Unlikely Martin Ltitht-r High School rnrvljv is I-losvd tirivxprmtf-rlly, hut if it is llL't't5SSZlfj,' hucziuszc of intlt-Int-nt wcatlit-r, :IrInoiIrIt'e- Irlcills will ht- matic hul'oI'0 6150 rim. on four radio stations: WOKY, WISN, WEMP :Ind WTM-l, tIct'oI'tliIIg to a spokes- man.

If we look to each other, to parents or teachers, we w1ll be d1sappo1nted Only God's Splflt can make th1S happen As He g1VBS us fa1th, He also g1VeS us the ablllty to love and perform good works W1thOUt fa1th lt 1S 1mposs1ble to please H1m ' ' As God so loved the world that He gave I-I1s Son 1nto death for us so we too can love others Th1s IS not a superf1c1al love but a sacr1f1c1al love a love wh1ch g1VES, a love wh1ch asks noth1ng 1n retum, a love Wh1Ch reaches out to others Dear graduates, may God g1VE each of you a fa1th wluch mamfests 1tseI.f 1n genu1ne love of ne1ghbor and glo r1f1cat1on of God May you be blessed w1th help1ng hands, l1sten1ng ears, burden bear1ng shoulders, and car 1ng hearts God be w1th each of you Yours 1n Chl'1St, Roman C Valleskey PRINCIPAL 140 Faculty
