A Learning Community Where do you find a great tradi- tion of academic excellence? Here, that ' s where. This is the place. Aca- demics are some of the major assets that make our school shine. says Mary Ann Bookmyer. We have a system wherby the NHS tutors stu- dents so that they may do the best job possible. Some of our academic achievements in 84-85 included 6 National Merit Semi-Finalists. Many winners in the National Foreign Language Contests. Almost 90% of seniors go on to some type of higher education. Challenge is another word to de- scribe our academic programs. WE as students are encouraged to excell in all areas of study. College is very important to us and classes like pre- calc, calc, physics, chemistry, ad- vanced chem, college prep writing are allowing us to become very well prepared for college. says Dave Rohling. Another dimension to our studies is the Religion department. Unlike schools of our size that are not religious institutions, we receive a great background in our faith. Molly Gray as well as being an ace Freshman basketball player is also an excellent student. Joe Romie needs lots of room to write his English paper.

Working Together . . . Teamwork Each year a special determination and pride goes into the Sports pro- gram. This is not only on the part of the Athletes but the coaches, stu- dents and faculty combined make sports a whole school effort. Our community provides the support which keeps the spark in an ath- lete ' s heart to strive farther than ever before. There are no one man teams at Dwenger, every sport is a team effort. Each athlete helps his her teammate excel to their ful- lest potential. Although the element to win in high school sports exists, we have the element to be the best we can possibly be. Our sports programs are designed to do exactly this. Coaches want to prepare and develop the skills and talents that each athlete has been given. Coaches are personal and back their athletes 100% as do the athletes their coaches. The time spent in practices and games are all volunteer hours. Each one has a commitment to themselves and to Bishop Dwenger to give all that they have and they do exactly that. Above: Jay Yaney outjumps an Elmhurst Tro- jan in his own gym.
