SWEET VICTORY . . . SAINTS COME HOME 1986 HOMECOMING HAS REASON TO CELEBRATE Homecoming is that time of year winen Dwenger alumni return to meet each other at the big football game. A major part of Homecoming is the infamous Spirit Week, the week of wild preparation preced- ing the Homecoming gome. Each day of Spirit Week had a theme on which the stu- dents dressed accordingly. Some days included TV Character Day, Hawaiian Day, and the traditional Col- or Day. On Tuesday, Saints Stride was held despite a torrential downpour. Greg Johans of 21 Alive partici- pated in the annual walk which raised $15,000 for needy students. Many more activities took place on Thursday, such as the annual powderpuff gome between the Junior and Senior girls. The game ended in a spec- tacular 7-0 victory by the heavily favored Seniors. Lat- er that night, despite spo- radic rain, the bonfire, fur- nished by the Key Club, was lit with some difficulty. While the fire blazed, Gregg Mockenhaupt, Paul Dawley, and Tom Hoog performed for the students. Friday final- ly arrived, the culmination of Spirit Week. A pep session was held in which awards were given to the rooms with the best door decora- tions. That evening, the Saints met the South Side Archers at Zollner Stadium. At half-time, the Homecom- ing court was announced by the Student Council. Lisa Kern was crowned Home- coming Queen by Brian Schreck. She was elected from all the Senior girls by the whole class during Spirit Week. The gome itself end- ed with a convincing victory by the Saints. After the game, the Homecoming Dance was held back at school in the cafeteria. The dance ' s theme was Sweet Victory ' , a song by Touch. Joellyn Farrell, the Home- coming Chairman, did a tre- mendous job to make Spirit Week and Homecoming at Bishop Dwenger for 1986 a huge success. LISA KERN — HOMECOMING QUEEN ■10 HOMECOMING

SAINT ' S TEAMS . . . EXCEL DWENGER ' S MEN ATHLETES REACH NEW GOALS The men ' s athletic pro- gram is much more than the W ' s and the L ' s. Each individ- ual athlete, regardless of the sport is a unique person. To be a high school athlete requires many things such as talent, stamina, and dedi- cation and above all time. Many, many hours of prac- tice are an integral part of the athletic program and sacrifices are made by the students who participate in them. Not only do the ath- letes put forth tremendous effort and energy but also the managers of all teams. The managers are the un- sung heros of the sports pro- gram at any school. They do about everything to get the equipment ready and to support the teams. It is a huge job. Mr. Dick Krouse, our Athletic Director puts in countless of extra hours at all events. We certainly thank him. Then there are the coaches. The coaches provide their players with praise as well as criticism. Above all they encourage each person to live up to his fullest potential and be the best he can possibly be. We ore very proud of the Bishop Dwenger coaching staff for the fine job they do and the extra they give to anyone who is involved in the men ' s athletic program. Being a Dwenger athlete is an expe- rience that each young man will treasure. Athletics not only promote competi- tion and team work but also provide invaluable lessons for life to each player. Win- ning or Losing is not really the name of the game at all. Brian Schreck, part of the Sectional Championship Tennis team shows his style at Swinney Park. Brian was selected on the All SAC team. He was also the captain of the squad and is a great leader. 12 OPENING
