Social Studies Forms Convictions To maintain a dynamic equilib- rium, there must be preserved a peaceful system for channeling change. The U.S. Government is that system. Its birth-history, its anatomy — economics, and its practice — government, are all taught by Dwenger ' s social studies department. The economics classes in a Wall Street Journal project, played the stockmarket to obtain an idea of functional capitalism. The seniors in Mr. Ray ' s government classes explored the exercise of free choice by posing elections for local offi- cials. The American history classes under the guidance of Sister Mau- rice and Mr. Tone, became active in a project for the prevention of pollution in the Ft. Wayne area. While these were busy with modern government, freshmen, taught by Mr. Bart and Mr. Krouse, learned how government developed. Rocketing forward, Mr. Ray takes off on another Interesting economics excursion Jackie Christie fooled and flabergasted.

Develops a Variety of Linguists Most students at Bishop Dwenger are bi-linguists because of a well- organized language department. Four langua ges which the school offers are French, German, Span- ish and Latin. Students acquire fluency with the help of records, tapes and books which increase in difficulty as the students advance through the course. Dwenger is most fortunate in having a language lab. This facility enables teachers to aid students individually while his classmates listen to tapes. As many as six tapes may be played at a time on six different channels. Besides learning oral and written aspects of a language, students are also exposed to the differences in cultures. This is accomplished through lectures, slides and even meals of a given country. At Bis- hop Dwenger High School a lan- guage involves more than a mere book. Upper left: Students in third year Spanish class are exposed to the spicy filling meals of Spanish life.
