o CM CM •-• C3 WE FOCUS OUR LIVES ON GOD COMMUNITY WORSHIP SETS B.D. APART What separates Bishop Dwenger from most other high schools is that it is cen- tered around the Cathoiic faith. A major part of our reli- gion is the celebration of the Mass. Celebrating Mass gives the students an op- portunity to show their re- spect for the Blessed Sacra- ment, the Holy Eucharist. This is one of the fundamental traditions of Bishop Dwenger. Here at Dwenger, Mass is celebrated several times during the school year for all students. These take place on all holy days of ob- ligation as well as a few spe- cial days and are usually dress-up days. Each year the Bishop comes to our school and says a Mass. At the end, he traditionally gives the students a free day. There are many peo- ple involved in a school Mass. At least one priest cel- ebrates each Mass and is assisted by three servers chosen from a particular class. The readers also play an important role at Mass, as do the many eucharistic ministers. Finally, there is the choir and liturgical band who provide musical ac- companiment for the stu- dent body. Besides the all- school Masses, there are daily Masses. During the lunch hour in the chapel ei- ther a Mass, communion ser- vice, or reconciliation ser- vice takes place each day. For the Masses and commu- nion services, students vol- unteer to lector. Eucharistic ministers participate in the services according to a schedule. Being a student at Bishop Dwenger is a unique experience because of this special opportunity we have to be able to go to Mass each day. Through our participation and involve- ment in the Mass, we keep alive one of the most sacred tradit ions of our school and at the same time we have the chance to enrich our- selves spiritually. 2 MASS J

SAINTS GET INTO THE ACTION THE DAY DOESNT END AT 3:00 ... IT STARTS OVER We posed the question, What would High School be like if you hod to go home right otter school? Just think what all you would miss if only studies were avail- able. During the school day we would see no assemblies or pep sessions. There would be no need for a student council because they would have no activities to plan and see come off. No dances or clubs or games or newspapers or yearbooks. Luckily we don ' t have to re- turn to the days of yester- year because we have it all right here every day. Mrs. Malloy brought SADD to new heights in ' 87. They helped the signing of a law to make minor ' s drivers licenses look different. Governor Orr thanked them personally. The Spirit people won all sorts of awards at their camps. Cheerleading and Pom Pon take alot of work and dedication. The March- ing Saints brought home a 1st place. Everyone loves Saints Alive and the cooper- ation is always the best you could ask for. Also on the fund raising front, the Walk- A-Thon brought in a few dol- lars for the effort. It rained like the dickens but we hod fun anyway. The Drama De- partment put on 2 excellent plays and of course the Spring Musical was a tri- umph. Using grade school kids was a new twist this season. We ' ve always been partial to the Journalism or- ganizations. The newspaper is getting better and better every year. They hod a good year. This publication will hopefully be the best yearbook Dwenger has ever seen. Languages Clubs, NHS, Science or Art Clubs, the Yacht Club and the Ski Club, ETC. Wouldn ' t it be boring without a little fun once in a while?? Greg Johans of Channel 21 was challenged by the students In the 2nd annual Walk-A-Thon Here vou see Grea passing Saint after Saint. SADD sponsored a rock concert in January at an all school assembly. Here the band member directs John Grant and Mrs. Hall in a take off of Star Wars. 4 ACTIVITIES
