Our four years of religion are all taught by excellent teachers who care about their students as do all of the teachers here. We feel that reli- gion is important to our lives and we really benefit from it. This year we have five National Merit Semi-Fina- lists. These outstanding students re- ceived high grades on the PSAT and will be competing for about 5,800 scholarships. The NHS is another organization designed to award the members and to aid the community. NHS members tutor students in need of help and encourage them to get better grades. What it all comes down to is that we try our best and as we reach higher plateaus we can look back and remember where we ' ve been while we keep reaching for the stars. It seems very amusing that Dave Dumas is conducting an experiment. Mike Finley and Mr Pierson can ' t even look. Only Pat Delaney has the guts for that. Gretchen Wilhelm is evidently not as far into her French test as the rest of the class. In order to reach new heights, Mr. Johns had to resort to standing on top of the desk.

Academics f Learning From Life Academics is an important facet of our life here at Dwenger. We take schoolwork seriously even while we are having fun doing other things. Several advanced classes are of- fered to challenge students prepar- ing for college, such as honors Eng- lish classes, at least four years of French, Spanish, German, and Lat- in, Physics, calculus and pre-calc. Every year several students get an opportunity to go to other coun- tries through the Indiana University High School Program for Foreign Languages. The winners go to their country during the summer and live with a family and go to school. Eng- lish cannot be spoken at any time. Religion is one part of Dwenger life which most schools do not have. Glen Ceck owski doesn ' t even notice Chris Minick ' s tie is crooked. Hungry Dave L . d hardly wait to fin- ish his test so he can munch on his apple. Senior Dave Tyndall uses our library to catch up on his work. One wonders how Dave ever sat still for this long.
