Another bonus we have here is that the classes are weighted. Harder classes have a weight of 6 to 3 points. This makes an advantage if you take the harder courses. One thing many of the upperclassman miss is the Lunch Rec period which disappeared with the dawning of the 7 period day. In the past one had 25 minutes for lunch and then 25 min- utes of recreation in the gym. No more. Now it ' s 26 minutes for lunch and back to class. The Freshman feel they missed out on something good. However in the long run it all works out as you can take more classes and have enough time left for interesting electives and not be tied down to just the requirements. Mrs. Gloman introduces Kim Dull to her friend. Somehow Kim seems surprised by the looks of him or her or it. Both Adele DiMarco and Mrs. Hinkle seemed Tim Kever. right before he left for the Army. pleased by Adele ' s understanding of the finer points of Geometry.

Academics Having Fun Learning Academics is stressed here. Start- ing with the class of ' 89 we will need 45 credits to graduate while prior to that we only needed 40. Also re- quired is two years of both Math and Science. The class of ' 90 will also be required to take typing and comput- ers. To make all this possible we have changed from a six period day to a seven period day. Juniors and Seniors also have the Interim program to look forward to. On Interim day or days people from various professions come in to talk about their jobs, its requirements, what they do exactly, how much a person in that field can expect to make, etc. This helps the students to plan for their careers and under- stand what they are in for. Mr. Brombereck helps Mimi Rommel with her Mass and Sacraments paper. Joe Sterba and Ben Pursley are seemingly stunned by what they see. They are speech- less. It ' s just one laugh after the other in Mrs. Spohn ' s Freshman English classes. Karen Augustyn and Sylvia Soto are quite amused.

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.
