Coming Home In ' 85 Our fireworks display at half time was really fantastic. Home-com-ing n 1: a return home 2: the return of a group of people esp. on a special occasion to a place formerly frequented. That ' s how the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines homecoming . To us who have experienced Home- coming 1985, though, it takes on a different meaning. It was much more involved than simply a return home . The actual Homecoming night was preceded by an appropri- ately named period of time known as Spirit Week. School spirit and hopes soared during Friday ' s pep session. Everyone felt ready for a victory. The sky that night was cloudy with some clouds nearly resting on the ground. The Homecoming theme, In the Air Tonight , was coming true in an unexpected way. But there was more in the air that night than clouds. Cheering and fan support battled with the clouds for air space. At half-time the Home- coming Court was introduced. Mi- chelle Drerup was announced as the Homecoming Queen. She and all the members of her court looked mar- velous. As the game continued vic- tory floated farther and farther from the Knight ' s grasp. Dwenger took the victory, winning with a score of 13-0. After the game many Saints went to the Homecoming Dance. The evening was enjoyed by all. All in all, much was in the air that night. Many people worked hard to make the week enjoyable. But most of all we had fun, which is what it was all about. fn Air The 1985 Homecoming Court and their parents.

© pie m mm Our Faces Are Many New heights were reached by the people of Bishop Dwenger High School during the 1985-1986 school year. Through academic achieve- ment, through athletic prowess, through spiritual development, the community of Bishop Dwenger ex- celled. The people of Bishop Dwenger give the special moments and traditions that make Bishop Dwenger so special. The students bring the school to life. Their enthu- siasm and concern shows in the classroom. They do their best in reli- gion, math, science, and all other academic courses. The students do not lose this spirit after the final bell. They take it with them to games, clubs, and the many other extra- curricular activities Dwenger offers. The faculty and parents are just as important to Bishop Dwenger as the students. The teachers work with us patiently to help us grow in knowl- edge and maturity. The administra- tion keeps the school going and helps to improve the quality of edu- cation at Dwenger. The parents sup- port Dwenger with their continuing interest and hard work in such things as the Family Association and Saints Alive. All of these people make up the Dwenger family. Like any family, it will continue to grow and change, but it will always be centered around the idea of giving a quality Catholic education. It is a family we can all be proud to belong to.
