Everybody ' s Experimenting! It ' s true! A majority of Dwenger students entered the field of sci- ence. The reason was that the Science Department offered a great variety of courses. Anatomy and Physiology pupils in- vestigated life but had to kill frogs to do it. Physical Science students, studied energy and discovered they had none. Biology and Advanced Biology classes were quick to learn that dissecting before lunch pro- vided a great incentive for sticking to a diet. In Earth Science, some stu- dents explored the world of their own backyard — earthquakes, gla- ciers, and rock formations?! Chem- istry, Physics and Descriptive Physics students besides studying the usual compounds, mixtures, and theories, did their best to concoct a way to explode the second floor, but their heroic efforts failed when the Bun- sen burners refused to light. A word to the wise for those not enrolled in a science class — get in one because that ' s where it all happens! Mrs. Smulkstys, in her first year of teaching at Dwenger, assists her students in pertorming an experiment. What kind of a reaction are they expecting? Is this how Tom Paige prepares for Physics? John Gibson and Randy Garrett ask the all important question: Is it or isn ' t it? 26 ACADEMICS

Choruses of Buenos Dias, Bonjour, Guten Tag, and Ave were heard echoing through the halls remind- ing all of the language courses of- fered at Bishop Dwenger. The first two years were mostly concerned with grammar and we all remember trudging through the mire of Preterite, Imperfect and Conditional tenses. Third and fourth year courses offered an opportunity to read novels in the language and were geared toward developing mastery of speaking and composi- tion. The language lab offered op- portunities for students to listen to proper pronunciation and to hear their language spoken as it would be in Germany, France or Spain. We asked Mrs. Sims ' second year French students how they liked their new desk arrangement, and they said, What new desk arrangement? Students Learn to Speak Different Tongues A pair of batteries, a pair of headphones, a pair of ears and sheer determination . . . That ' s all it takes. Mrs. T is in the process of one of her infamous countdowns, 5,4,3,2,1, class dismissed . What would Sr. Denis do if she found out about these three? Maybe she did find out because we haven ' t seen them around lately. 28 ACADEMICS .:-i .
