FROM 7:55 AM TO 3:00 PM: WHAT ' S HAPPENING A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BISHOP DWENGER STUDENT A Day in the Life of . . . Academics to most of us means hours and hours of studying. Even to adults years out of school it has o gloomy sound. But to a stu- dent it has a day to day routine. For 180 doss days per year the alarm goes or at 6:30 am. No, please not now, I groan as I roll over and hit the snooze ' -■..tton. What seems like I iOT9s later my mom is shoking me saying, You ' re late; get up. As soon as I jump in the shov er, I hear the doorbell ring. It ' s my ride. Of course I hod for- gotten she was coming early this morning. Off we go ... At 7:54 I run to my locker and somehow man- age to make firi eriod in time. As Mr. Bro: :ereck takes roll and tells one of his famous jokes, 1 catch up on the latest news. Finally the learning begins as we take notes. At 8:45 the bell rings and I hove five min- utes to go to my locker, visit around and get to second period. As I walk into Geometry, I know it is going to be a bad day be- cause I have my Health and Safety book instead of my Geometry book. So I sit with one of my friends and we do our homework to- gether. Tonight we get off easy compared to usual with only thirty proofs. 9:45 and we are released from second which has also in- cluded the Homeroom an- nouncements. On to third period which goes pretty quickly and it ' s lunch time. Lunch time is great. It gives time fo r the brain to rest and have fun with your din- ing companions. Fourth period, which contains the lunch period, is American Literature. Hawthorne, Bradbury, and Roe can be interesting, although today we started the much dreaded The Scarlet Let- ter. On the way to Biolo- gy, I make plans for Friday night. In Biology, fifth peri- od, we are learning about DNA, but 1 think the boy in front of me is much more interesting. French is still a foreign language and 1 struggle through it on my way to Seventh Period. To speak French, I must iearr. to think in French and sometimes by this time o day I can ' t even think at all, let alone in French, In typing the last fifty minutes pass as we practice typing reports. Some of my friends have a study hal! thrown in but 1 opted for a full day of courses. The bell rings and we stand at our lockers and discus what will be happening after school. Some of us go on to club meetings, while others go to sporting practices or jobs. Later after finishing my homework, I think over my day and realize it wasn ' t all work. Academ- ics and going to school are fun too. Talking, laughing, making mistakes, that ' s what school is about with work included. So whent ou think about academ-i think about your lifej and what you want to be. j :ADEMICS DIVISION

LEADERSHIP, EXAMPLE, DISCIPLINE THE ADMINISTRATION CONVEYS THE IMPORTANCE OF B.D. P Dwenger is Important. This is the message our ad- ministration gives to the stu- dent body, says Junior Kathy Chambers. We are con- stantly reminded just how Im- portant our school is by our Principal, Mr. Gaughan. Mr. Gaughan really loves Dwenger and tries to pass that on to us. Mr. Doepker Is very involved with the aca- demic side of our lives. He takes care of the curriculum and the every day crisis that come up. In his spare time, Mr. Doepker moderates the student council. Dwenger is Important is also brought across by the ever popular Fr. Shafer, School Pastor. Fr. loves Dwenger and is a part of the whole picture not just the religious aspect. He sup- ports us in every way and thank goodness, the jokes have stopped. DISCIPLINE!!! You have to have it. Where would you be without it? Our deans are not only disciplinarians but friends as well. If you have a prob- lem both Mr. Tone and Mrs. Jordan will go out of their way to help you. Who spends millions of hour s at school events? Mr. Krouse the Athletic Director. He comes to every game and silently does his job. And very well. MONEY: The man who pays the bills, collects the tu- ition, and manages all of it is Mr, Veerkamp. He works very closely with the Board of Education who meet once a month. Our newly named su- perintendent is Mr. Bowman who is just getting to know Bishop Dwenger. EXAMPLE: The administration of this school gives more to us than just what is necessary for a good school. They ore a constant reminder of what is right. They led by their per- sonal example. We, as stu- dents know where to look for leadership.

Mr. Tone shows Tonya Thomas what is on his paper. Both seem to think it is very interesting.
