Architect's designs and blueprints for 1957 Chancel
Four examples of the original architectural designs prepared by renowned architect, James Gamble Rogers II, for the furnishings of the 1957 chancel survive in the archives of St. Luke's Lutheran Church. The earliest of the designs (all attributed to "Ossit") is dated August 7, 1956, and contains preliminary designs for the lectern, altar, pulpit and communion rails. Another (dated Sept. 14, 1956)shows the altar backed by an ornately carved wooden "screen" and dossal cloth. This design was apparently unacceptable to the building committee because within eleven days, a revised design with a much simpler wood screen above the altar was submitted by Rogers' firm. In fact, it is evident other small revisions were made before the construction began when these designs are compared to archival photos of the actual "as built" structure. NOTE: In 2013, an attempt was made to garner information about the "Ossit attribution" via a contact with Mr. Jack Rogers, son of the famous architect, James Gamble Rogers II. After some unfruitful research, Mr. Rogers concluded that "Ossit" was then name of a now non-existent design firm with whom his father had consulted for this project. He added that his father had been meticulous about documenting the source of any idea or assistance that was incorporated into his work and was greatly respected for this display of personal integrity.

Photos from Luther High School's yearbook ("Shield") during its inaugural academic academic year in 1975-76, when the school had a total co-ed enrollment of only 26 students in its first 9th and 10th grades. The school managed to put together an 8 member basketball team and even ended the season with a 4-2 record against opponents such as Trinity Prep and Howey Academy. Although a team of 11 players is required for an official football game, the eight boys coached by John Reisig that year dressed out for rigorous daily practices to prepare for the school's next season, when they hoped to have a full team.
