From the moment when primitive man first saw his reflection in a pool, we have been fascinated with mirrors and with images of ourselves. A Greek myth recounts how Narcissus lost his humanity as a punishment for preoccupation with his own image. But it is a healthy curiosity, not vanity, which impels us to scan the faces and pages of this yearbook, to search its mirror for clues to our identity, for a definition of who we are, individually and collectively. 4 — Introduction The foresight we must have to prepare for the future depends upon the insight we acquire now. Seeing ourselves clearly is essential; we must know who we are in order to know what we may become. These pages bring us glimpses and images of the present, of ourselves as we go about the daily business of being and becoming, of learning and preparing for a future that depends upon the countless events ana experiences that shape our present lives. Introduction — 5 Some day we will return to these pages, impelled by nostalgia and the desire to rememner who we were. Seeing again these words and faces, we will recall the time we spent together here, the educators who shaped and sharpened our minds, the events that ? ;ave meaning to our hours and years, and the riends who filled our hearts and lives. Then, our in- sight will be augmented with hindsight, and we will finally see ourselves clearly across the years. Farsighted Leadership Keepine the Andrean ship sailing smoothly is a difficult joo. The work is hard, the hours are long, and the tasks are endless. From making policy decisions that will affect the lives of students for years to come, to locking doors at the end of the day, ad- ministration must attend to hundreds of details in- volved with Andrean’s continued operation. We Sister Christopher sorts boxes and bags of food for the Thanksgiving Food Drive. are fortunate in that we have an administration comprised of seasoned professionals who do their jobs with efficien- cy, proficiency, and love. In fact, the care that our administrators bring to their jobs distinguishes them among their peers. These are people who believe in wnat they are doing. In the end, that makes all the difference. One of the functions of Mr. Barancyk is the keeping of up-to-the-minute attendance records. Rev. Norman Murphy, C.S.B. Chaplain l Rev. Donald Benwitz, C.S.B. Principal Sr. Christopher, SS.C.M.

Focus From bright pink frames with quarter-inch thick glass to tnirty-year-old hornrimmed bifocals, eyeglasses can be as in- dividual as the people who wear them. Many people choose frames that will reflect their per- sonality or flatter the shape of their face. No matter what the frames look like, however, all glasses serve the same purpose, to bring the world around us in- to focus. Without this focus we would be lost in a confusing blur of images, unable to perceive or interpret the details ot our world — an important warning on a bottle of medication, or the in- tricate beauty of a flower. Eye glasses give us a sharper perspective and, at the same time, provide a mode of self- expression through the frames we choose.

Hat Day brings out the spirited smiles of Kristen King, Mary Puntillo and Nicki Zelin. Freshman cheerleader Paula Reardon bestows a congratulatory hug on newly-crowned Queen Jackie Bucko. 14 — Student Life Suspense gives way to ela- tion as Jackie Bucko is an- nounced 1982’s Home- coming Queen. Of Carriages and Queens Horsedrawn carriages were used for the first time during Homecoming, 1982 to transport queen candidates to the festivities. They par- ticipated in the Homecoming parade, climaxing an entire week of preparation and special spirit days. Another innovation of this year’s Homecoming was that queen candidates Charisse Brokemond, Jackie Bucko, Marita Jao, Kathy Pearce and Beth Wojkovich, were escorted by relatives rather than classmates to the football field at halftime. Suspense and excitement crackled in the air as Jackie Bucko was an- nounced Homecoming Queen for 1982 and crowned by 1981 Queen Mardee LaMere. A sock hop the following even- ing climaxed an eventful Homecoming week for Niner fans. Mardee LaMere, the former Homecoming Queen, yields the coveted crown to her successor, Jackie Bucko. Beth Wojkovich and Kathy Pearce wait in an old- fashioned carriage for the beginning of the parade. Student Life — IS Karen DeMars applies her artistic ability to a pep sign for Homecoming. Juniors Randy Ramusack, Bob Bonta and Dawn Cloonan create an award-winning junior class float. 16 — Student Life Spirit Days The spirit of Niner fans comes through in many ways, par- ticularly at Homecoming. From pep buttons to pep assemblies, from Booster Club to band, many outlets are available for Niner spirit. Niners this year showed their spirit at Homecoming with a special Spirit Week, consisting of Crazy Socks Day, Hat Day, Tie Day, and finally, Cowboy Hat and Red and Gold Day. Major attractions of the Homecoming parade were the three class floats. The junior float, proclaiming “Teepee the Indians,” claimed first prize. A panel of faculty members judged decorated cars. Horsedrawn car- riages carrying the Homecoming Queen candidates added a touch of nostalgia to the parade. A Niner fan shows innovative spirit during Homecoming week. Cathy Fagen and Roger Hruskovich enjoy soft music and a slow dance at Turnabout. A quiet moment for conver- sation rounds out an evening of dancing for Denise Trapp and her escort. Turnabout Once a year Andrean’s female population focuses its attention on finding a date for the Turnabout dance. The theme of the February dance, which was organized by Kathy Pearce and Mary Ann Wolfe, was “Love will turn you around.” Students decorated the gym with hearts, streamers, and a silver tinsel carousel, and the music of Pawnz provid- ed a romantic backdrop for couples enjoying an evening of dancing. Helen O’Connell and Paula Pearce offer guests punch, cookies, and friendly smiles. Student Life — 17 Marita Jao, Mary Connell, and Patricia Lucas explain the rules for the costume judging at the masquerade sock hop. Carrie LaMere takes careful aim dur- ing dodgeball. Luis Roman and Beth Wojkovich learn the steps at the Homecoming sock hop. 18 — Student Life Walter Smith and Charisse Brokemond spend a lively Saturday evening at the Homecoming sock hop. Duncan Hines and Georgann Ard model their costumes at the masquerade sock hop. Dueling and Dancing For years, sock hops and rec nights have been a time for An- drean students to get together and enjoy themselves, a time to get out of the house, make new Friends and meet old acquaint- ances. At rec nights, classmates sharpen athletic skills and challenge each other to friendly contests of agility and coordina- tion. Rec nights offer many Student Life — 19 sports for participation, includ- ing basketball, volleyball, ping- pong, dodgeball, and wallball. Two special sock hops were held this year, the Homecoming sock hop and a masquerade sock hop in November. The Homecoming sock hop replaced the traditional Homecoming dance. Sock hops and rec nights are sponsored by the Student Council. Let’s Dance Froshmore Night is back by popular demand! This year sophomore and freshman of- ficers got together and decided to bring back this spectacular event. With the help of Father Cerretto and Sister Paul, the dance became a reality. Three members of the band which pro- vided the dance with music were Andrean students, Paul Vale on the guitar, Bob Luckiewicz on the drums, and Jesse Martinez on the keyboard. 20 — Student Life For Shawn Hutchens and Karen Roytan, good music and a crowded dance floor are the perfect ingredients for an enjoyable evening.

Winter Wonderland was the theme of Andrean’s first Junior- Senior dance. Despite the cold and dreary January weather, the ? iris’ gym was warm and cheer- ul, decorated with candy canes and twinkling lights. Guests danced to music provided by a local D.J., and enjoyed refresh- ments which were supplied and served by classmates. The Junior-Senior dance was in- itiated by the junior and senior class officers in the hope that it might become a tradition.

Student Life — 21 Good Company Mommy and Daddy Date Nights give Andrean students a chance to entertain their parents at an evening of dining and dancing. To commence the ac- tivities at both events this year, families gathered in the cafeteria to eat. Students and parents used this time for conversation. After the meal, a photographer took pictures to record the families’ memorable experiences. Then the dances began — square dances, polkas, and contemporary music provided by Abbey Road. With such a variety, everyone found a favorite dance. Graduating parents, those who have at- tended with their student for all four years, received diplomas and yellow carnations. The events were sponsored this year by Mrs. Hevel and a group of volunteer student workers. Elicia Metz and her father swing to the rhythm of Abbey Road.

Mr. Listro gets a taste of the Armaged- don mudfight. An unidentified victim emerges from the Armageddon mud battle. Mudslinging Rain brought mud and chaos to the twenty-third annual Ar- mageddon games. Mudfights kept many participants out of the gym and indoor events. Two days of games began with the lighting of the torch at the pep assembly. Class officers ran a relay race, and the juniors won the food-eating contest, which consisted of picking jelly beans out of chocolate pudding without using hands. Despite cancellations and delayed games, seniors scored an over- - Niner Style whelming victory. Juniors placed a firm second, and freshmen narrowly escaped the cellar position occupied by sophomores. Additions to the usual schedule of Armageddon events included Monopoly, Frisbee football, and earthball, an instant success. The spirit award, determined by the number of participants in Spirit Week competitions, was cap- tured by sophomores. Student Life — 25 26 — Student Life Secret Places Once we learn, painfully and early in our freshman year, that AndTrean has no swimming pool, no elevator, no basement, and no third floor, we believe that we know our way around the school. We move from class to class with confidence, seldom pausing to wonder what that locked door hides, where teachers go when the bell rings, or where old desks go to die. The Decussata wondered, though, and sent photographer Deb Argenta to seek out tne secret places of Andrean. How many can you iden- tify? Answers are below.

Karen Phipps and her date enjoy a fast dance to the music of Third Power. Beth Wasilewski and her escort discover that an evening of dancing can be tiring as well as enjoyable. A Touch of Class The rustle of gowns, the fragrance of roses, the scent of fine food, and the rhythm of music created an evening which sparkled with “a touch of class.” As guests ar- rived at the Hellenic Cultural Center on April 29 for the 1983 Junior-Senior Prom, they placed their choices for Prom King and Queen in a secret ballot box. Before dinner, guests chat- ted, mingled with friends Student Life — 29 and admired each other’s gowns and tuxedos. After a catered dinner the dancing began, with music by Third Power, and amidst drumroll and applause, Dom Bonta and Katny Pearce were in- troduced as Prom King and Queen. The fun and excite- ment lasted until midnight when guests departed, tak- ing with them wine glass souvenirs and many memories of the 1983 Prom. Rob McMahon and Laura Knudson proudly receive medals from Father Benwitz. View From the Top 30 — Student Life Olympians On April 25, Andrean freshmen competed in the National Language Arts Olympiad. The test consisted of objective questions which measured vocabu-lary, spelling, gram-mar and reading comprehension skills. Rob McMahon and Laura Knudson achieved top scores. Rob McMahon, Braden D’Andrea, and Paul Conarty led the boys’ team and Laura Knudson, Tal Wongse- sanit and Meri McLean led the girls’. The combined scores of both teams placed Andrean among the top thirty schools in the nation. Mental Bloc The Andrean Quiz Bowl team won its way to the semi-finals of the 1983 WAKE Radio 1500 Scholastic Challenge, leaving behind a two-year record of six wins and only one loss. The team, nicknamed “the Mental Bloc,” included seniors Mike Magura and Steve Volan, junior Tom Jagiella, sophomore sub Andy McAfee and moderator Fr. Martin. The season was marked by a nar- row 225-200 victory over Chesterton and a heartbreak- ing loss to Merrillville in the semi-finals. They only look idle. In actuality, Mike Magura, Steve Volan and Tom Jagiella are busily honing their wits for an upcoming Quiz Bowl battle. t- TP r D i bf The A Team In October six Andrean seniors were announced as semi-finalists in National Merit competition. Eric Deggans, Christine Grusak, Julie O’Connor, Linda Quinn, Stephen Volan and Laura Zaper advanced to semi-finalist standing because of their high PSAT NMS- QT scores. As semi-finalists, the six seniors became eligible for scholarships from colleges and cor- porations. Scholarships available ranged from a one time $1,000 award to a renewable $8,000 award for four years of study. The National Merit Semi-finalists are Laura Zaper, Eric Deggans, Linda Quinn, Chris Grusak, Steve Volan and Julie O’Connor. Winning Grandchildren A casual conversation that began with three students swapping tales their grandparents had told them developed into an all-school English assignment, and From there to an essay contest. After teachers made preliminary choices from their students’ “Tales My Grandparents Told Me,” a panel of three teachers and three students made final judgment and selected three award- winning stories. Eric Deg- gans earned first prize, and Mike Saroian and Mini Bansal placed se- cond and third respectively. Mini Bansal, Mike Saroian and Eric Deggans are win- ners of the 1983 English essay contest. According to Mrs. Thomas, one of the facul- ty judges, “These stories reveal a wealth of lore that reflects the rich, diverse ethnic back- round of our student ody. We hope to make these stories available for students to share and to make the contest an an- nual event.” Other faculty members who participated were Sister Pamela and Father Martin. Seniors Christine Grusak, San Lewis and Steve Volan, the three whose conversation started it all, appropriate- ly served as student panelists. Student Life — 31 On Broadway • • • Success was the word for this year’s Drama Club presentation of Whose Life Is it Anyway? Brian Clark’s ver- sion of the controversial English play deals with the issues of euthanasia and suicide, expertly combining serious philosophical statements with light comedy. Whose Life Is it Anyway? is the story of Claire Harrison, a young woman who has survived an automobile accident which has left her paralyzed from the neck down. Claire decides that her life is no longer worth living and asks that she be released from the hospital and allowed to die. When the hospital administrator refuses her plea, she hires a lawyer and the case goes to court. In the final courtroom scene, the judge must decide whether Claire has the r ight to die or the responsibility to live. Hard work and determination were essential to the success of this year’s play. Student director Sue Wilczyn- ski organized the production and supervised publicity and sales. Directors Father Heidt and Andrean alumna Shirley Pavlish coached the actors and actresses. Stage managers Tom Jagiella and Chai Kulsakdinun kept backstage operations orga- nized, and over fifty crew members provided assistance for the production.

Student Life — 33 FRESHMEN Consider Yourself At Home To some people, the Freshman Picnic spells food, fun, and games. To others it means a chance to meet new classmates. Besides exciting events like the three-leggea race, the wheelbarrow race, and the potato sack race, freshmen also enjoyed lunch and laughter and received a ticket to even more fun, the September sock hop. Ac- quainted with classmates and teachers, the class of ’86 was ready for school to begin.

An- drean freshmen who were asked to rate their favorites and not-so- favorites on a questionnaire came up with some surprising answers. On a scale of one to ten, freshmen rated gym, language classes, music, art, and drawing nighest with an average score of eight for each. English classes earned a rating of seven, while algebra led other math courses with a six. Biblical Literature, Biology and Health tied for last place in freshman affection with an average score of five each. In making their choices, freshmen revealed a profile of their class as a positive group of students. Eye-Catcher Wall-ball is a perennial favorite in freshman gym classes.

It takes even more courage to enter our doors that first, frightening day of school. Terrified by tales — true and tall — their older brothers and sisters have told them, freshmen quake at the thought of attending Andrean. Awed by our reputation for tough teachers, high academic standards, and strict discipline, they creep timidly through our halls. Is it true that freshmen are confined to cells in the basement for forgetting homework, wear- ing gym shoes to class, or failing to show proper respect for seniors? Is it true that the blood drive is mandatory and that students are expelled for not selling all their raffle tickets? Does that tree in the courtyard really mark the Tomb of the Unknown Freshman? Freshmen who survive their first year at An- drean graduate to the ranks of tale-tellers, horrifying younger friends and siblings with the same stories that struck terror in their own hearts only a year before. A note of pride creeps into their tales . . . it’s a tough job being a Niner, but someone’s got to do it! Are freshmen who are mischievous in biology classes locked in the greenhouse to be eaten alive by carnivorous plants? 42 — Freshmen Chrissie Uhles Paul Vale Brad VanBuskirk Brian VanBuskirk Valerie Verde Mark Vician Jeff Viene Greg Volan Victoria Vucich Don Wagner Carol Walker Pamela Wallace Jeanne Walsko John Walton Brian Webb Mary Weber Cheryl Webster Dan Welsh Lorna White Robert Wiatrolik Linda Wilczynski Renee Williams Kevin Wolf Tal Wongse-sanit Dee Woodard James Wright Georgine Yandris Stephen Yarchan n . — .

Theology classes help us to under- stand our faith, to learn why we believe what we believe. Once we discover our role in the universe, our faith is reinforced and our ties to God are strengthened. Classes about the Bible, morality, faith, and love bring us closer to the Church, helping us to understand our God, our world, and ourselves. Ron Potter carefully checks Fr.

Cells and Stars From the humble fresh- man who eagerly awaits his next biology class to the mighty senior cram- ming for a physics final, science plays a major part in the lives of Andrean students. For those willing to accept a challenge, science classes are stimulating and infor- mative, expecially when Mini Bansal forms glass tubes before starting a melting point experiment in Organic Chemistry, a senior honors course. students involve all their senses during a lab or visual aid session.

In World History, U.S. History, Government, Economics, and Sociology classes, students learn about the beginnings of civilization ana the way governments control socie- ty. Social studies classes at Andrean are windows to the past and present, but through them we see vi- sions of the future.

Whether finding the speed of a subatomic particle for physics class, balancing a checkbook, calculating a batting average, or simply counting the change in our pockets, we use math in almost everything we do. The math department’s goal is to teach the prin- ciples of hi g h e r mathematics. In four years at Andrean, the math major works his way through algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, all the while encountering new ideas and increasing his knowledge. Specially modified courses are available to challenge advanced students and assist remedial ones. Whatever the need, from General Math all the way up to Advanc- ed Math, the math department has a course for everyone. Father Doser explains mathematical axiom to h calculus class.

During four years of English courses, students develop language skills through study of great literature and intensive writing prac- tice. Freshmen read such classics as The Merchant of Venice and To Kill A Mockingbird. By the time they graduate, students Tim Boudreaux, Shawn Hut- chens, and Kim Holly study in Reading Enrichment. will have read epic poems such as The Iliad, and great plays including Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, Macbeth, and The Glass Menagerie. Through this strong English program, made complete by composition and appreciation of literature, students learn the effective language usage demanded in all classes and the basic skills demanded by all teachers.

This reinstatement of ad- vanced Latin comes in response to a nationwide renaissance of classical studies. First year Latin students learn grammar, vocabu- lary, and Roman mythology. Second year course offers still more grammar with emphasis on translation of Caesar’s Gallic Wars. A knowledge of the language and literature, however, is on- ly part of the Latin cur- riculum. Students also ac- quire a knowledge of the culture and customs of ancient Rome. Latin, far from being a dead language, is alive and well at Andrean.

Correct pronunciation is emphasized, along with building a large Spanish vocabulary. Advanced Spanish students delve in- to the rich area of classical Spanish literature as they read works by Alarcon and Cervantes. Im Augenblick Although the operas of Wagner and the modern new wave rock of Kraftwerk aren’t daily fare in Mr. House’s four German classes, they help provide the cultural exposure necessary for serious language students.

In typing, ac- counting, and shorthand classes, students prepare for the business world through hard work and constant practice. With computers gaining impor- tance, typing skills are fast becoming as essential as speech for efficient communication in today’s world. And a good background in typing and shorthand aids students in preparing their assignments for other classes.

When a musi- cian performs, he is not merely playing an instru- ment; he is revealing every facet of himself. Andrean’s music department not only teaches students how to sing or play an instrument, but helps them understand themselves and the world around them. From begin- ning band to mixed chorus, lessons learned within the classes can be applied to life itself. Craftsmanship, team- work, patience, and for- titude are just a few of the traits that the study of music instills in us. Perhaps the most important value that music teaches, however, is dedication. In this way, then, we not only learn how to be better musicians, but we learn how to be better people as well. John Denfeld awaits his cue as Mike Benac and Mark Ligda play on.

Under Mr. Freed- man’s direction, the beginning chorus and mixed chorus convey this joy and harmony to their audiences. Freshmen Vicky Braun and Chris Brandt listen attentive- ly in chorus class. — Bright Lights Andrean parents, students, faculty, and friends were treated to an afternoon of song and dance during the music department’s spring concert. The show was comprised of selections from Tony-award winning musicals, ranging from Oklahoma’s rustic flavor to the urban beat of 42nd Street. Andrean’s concert band, jazz band, and concert choirs pooled their talents to produce a memorable performance. — CHORUS 64 — Academics Learning No matter who we are or what we hope to be, a course in home econo- mics will certainly be valuable in our lives.

When freshman classes enter Andrean, they are given library orientation tours by Fr. Martin, who shows them what the library has to offer and how to use it as an effective tool. The library, however, is not just a place for study. In the library, a student can choose from a variety of magazines or other works of literature to enjoy in his free time. Before school, after school, or during study hall, many students come to the library to relax by listening to the stereo, looking at magazines, or reading a book. The library, of course, is also very useful for intensive study and research, since it contains books on almost every subject. Fr. Martin and Mrs. Owen work hard to keep the library stocked with up-to-date records, films, slides, and tapes, so that students and teachers alike may share the benefits of a modern, efficient library.

In 1962, after the death of their first child, Theresa’s parents decided to open their home and hearts to foster children in need of love and care. Over the years, the Thiels have raised a total of twenty-three foster children in addition to their own six. Helping her family care for the babies gave Theresa a responsibility and was an important part of her life. Though the foster children are now gone and living in other homes, the memories Theresa holds will remain forever.

Did you wonder what it would be like, what new friends you’d meet, or w r hat difficulties you’d have with a foreign language and foreign customs? Alecia Bicalho did more than wonder about it. She followed her daydream from her native Brazil to Indiana, where she lives with an aunt and uncle and attends Andrean with her cousin, Junia Bicalho. “My sister Christina came to Andrean last year,” Alecia ex- plains, “and ner experiences were so interesting and ex- citing that I wanted to try a year at Andrean, too.” The language differences aren’t a serious problem for Alecia, who studied English in Brazil.

Later, the group made an expedition to a Spanish play, La Barca Sin Pescaao r, which gave members a taste of Latin culture and a preview of how the language sounds when spoken fluently.

Coach Iatarola rounds up the varsity team for some last minute advice on the next play. On the Fifty Yard Line A new system instituted by first- year coach Ivan Zimmer was the key to the 1982 varsity football team. Early morning spring workouts, weight-lifting sessions in the s ummer, and double sessions throughout August insured that the players would all be in good shape by the beginning of the football season. Coach Zimmer also in- troduced a host of new offensive and defensive plays during the season. Most players agreed that the new system was effective, but nevertheless difficult to implement fully in one year. By midseason, however, the Fifty-Niners had cap- tured an impressive victory over twentieth-ranked Michigan City Rogers, followed by a victory over Lew Wallace, tough overtime losses to Portage and Merrillville, and a season-ending defeat of Gary Wirt. Senior Ron Grammas finished his Andrean football career as Most Valuable Player, as well as Most Valuable Offensive Lineman. This year’s Most Improved Player Award went to Greg Pavlik; other award-winners were Paul Allegret- ti, Most Valuable Defensive Lineman, Roy Dakich, Most Valuable Linebacker, and Tom Blake, Most Valuable Receiver.

Sports — 133 Going for the Pin Despite near-perfect individual records of 24-2 and 19-8 by seniors Ron Grammas and Paul Allegretti respectively, the 1982- 83 matmen suffered a disap- pointing season. The varsity team, led by Coach Ralph Iatarola and co-captains Gram- mas and senior A1 Arrieta, finished the season with a 1-10 record. Nonetheless, Allegretti and Grammas won sectional titles, and senior Joe Townsend captured second place in sec- tionals, although all three lost in regionals. The varsity MVP went to Ron Grammas, who possesses three section titles, two second place regional finishes, and a semi-state finish. Joe Townsend was chosen this year’s Most Im- proved Player.

A split- second grimace, a sudden graceless leap can be preserved forever to give us yet another way to see ourselves. Hoop Group The varsity boys’ basketball team showed much talent in the ’83 season. A 66-55 victory over Kankakee Valley topped the season as the highlight game, while vic- tories over Hobart, Lowell, and Gavit were also important. In the Highland Holiday Tourney, the Niners were beaten by Highland 73-68, but came back to win the Munster game 56-55, finishing third overall. In the sectionals, a loss to Hammond Morton ended the season for the varsity team. Mr. Rogovich, our coach for nineteen years, never gave up on his team during the season. The team fin- ished with a 6-15 record, earning most of its wins towards the end of the season.

Other victories in- cluded the Lowell game and the close contest against Merrillville. Tom Richter not only captured the most re- bounds throughout the season, but was the team’s high scorer, racking up a total of 153 points in twenty games. This year’s freshman A team demonstrated promising talent. Coached by Mr. Horvath, the team finished the season with a record of 6- 14. Highlights of the season were a vic- tory over West Side and a one point loss to undefeated Bishop Noll in the final seconds of the game. Bill Zelin received the Most Valuable Player award, and Robbie Hruskovich was chosen Most Improved Player. Mr. Clements coached the freshman B team through a season which ended in a 6-7 record. The B team’s highlight this year was a victory over Griffith, made possible by a shot in the last five seconds of the game. The Most Valuable Player award went to Michael Sanchez, and Mike Fagen received the Most Improved Player award. Bert Restyanszki was another outstanding player on the B team.

Andrean coaches know, however, that these are the people who truly deserve recognition, for they take much of the worry about details from coaches, leaving them free to con- centrate on their coaching duties. These are the people without whom no team or game would be successful. Senior Tony Bonta, head student trainer at Andrean for the past two years, defines his job as simply be- ing a part of “everything and JV records in hand, basketball manager Brian Quinn heads for a con- ference with coaches. anything that goes on” in sports. As our “resident intern,” he is in- volved in the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries, doubling in his spare time as statistician, scorekeeper, manager, and assis- tant coach. During the basketball season, Tony was aided in these lat- ter duties by the JV boys’ basketball manager Brian Quinn and scorekeeper statistician Felic ia Johnson. Others who assisted throughout the year are various managers, including Jerry Hum- phrey, Tim Dailey, Eric Grafton, Pat Sullivan, Ed Jocus, Robin Gill, and Sonja Sera, and numerous scorekeepers statisticians, among them Michelle Becke, Amy Shoemake, and Dave Chary. With a little help from her friends, Phyllis Sanchez records scores and statistics for a JV baseball game. Sports — 153 Confidence and enthusiasm radiate from varsity cheerleaders as they ex- ecute a perfect pyramid. Cheers Regardless of weather and score, Andrean cheerleaders are always at athletic events, ready to enlist fans to cheer their team on to victory. With rousing chants andf complicated pyramids, they convey school spirit to the Fifty-Niners and their opponents. But the faultless skill and coordinated movements are actually the results of long hours of practice each week . Many cheerleaders also attend summer camps to learn new cheers.

Throughout the school year, they held frequent practices at which Ninerettes polished old routines and learned new steps to popular tunes. Many memDers of the squad also at- tended four-day summer camps to improve their skills. Under the guidance of Sr. Jane and Miss Schweitzer, the poms pro- vided entertainment for pep assemblies and home football and basketball games. Junior Lisa DeBois was captain of the squad.

Looking back . . . we were few, just a handful of people from a variety of schools, clinging to our old friends for security, unsure of our place in a bewildering new world. But, as days passed, our uncertainties disappeared. We fit in; we contributed. We learned to take charge instead of being led. Looking around . . . we are one. One common goal unites us, bridging the gaps of different interests and points of view. For a few short days, we think the same thoughts and experience the same feelings. Memories of the past and fears of the future combine into a kaleidoscope of last day of school, senior dinner, baccalaureate, graduation. Looking ahead . . . we will be many. Soon we will be scat- tered, alone, independent, learning to be individuals and making our mark. Yet, no matter what our futures, An- drean will be a part of us, as inseparable, unforgettable, and near as our favorite memories. Mirror, mirror on the wall . . .

That is, I have worked hard in an area where my talents lie, and I have achieved something.” Those were the thoughts of Linda Quinn when she learned that she would be valedictorian of the Class of 1983. With a f ;rade point average of 5.43, she has certain- y earned the honor. Linda plans on major- ing in pre-med at Notre Dame. Salutatorian Marita Jao will attend North- western University, majoring in pre-med with a minor in music. Marita’s grade point average is 5.12. On learning of her achieve- ment Marita said, “I am honored that I have been chosen as the salutatorian. It took a lot of time and ef- fort, especially with all my extracurricular activities, but it was all worth it.” The top ten students are Linda Quinn, Marita Jao, Christine Grusak, Greg Pupillo, Julie O’Connor, Mike Ambrozicn, Sheila Blake, Gertie Wimmer, Al Arrieta, and Ron Grammas. Shaving cream in hand as well as in hair and on face, Greg Pupillo charges a victim during the Iast-aay-of-school craze.

During an unprecedented cafeteria meal of steaks and salads, royalties were awarded to students who, in the opinion of their classmates, influenced the school and the class of ’83 most. Afterwards, more serious awards were given for special achievements and special services per- formed for the benefit of the school.

Together We Stanav . Baccalaureate Mass is the last time that seniors are united as a class in the spiritual reverence that has been a part of their lives for four years. Bishop Andrew G. Grutka celebrated the Mass and emphasized the duties that graduates will face as Christian adults. Graduates presented communion gifts, each gift representing a part of themselves. The closing benediction holds special meaning for graduates as they “go in peace, to love and serve the Lord.” Upper Right: Accompanied by Mr. Listro, Mary Ann Wolfe sings “Gen- tle Shepherd” as a communion meditation. Above: Bishop Grutka performs the ritual of incensing the gifts at Baccalaureate Mass. Left: During communion meditation, Kim Newton and Pam Neal reflect on their upcoming graduation. Seniors — 177 Graduates- At Last in gold, boys in red, we line up ner- vously, academic leaders and officers first, then the rest of us in alphabetical order. The line moves forward. A grey spring drizzle outside reroutes our line of march through the locker rooms. Then, weTe inside the gym packed with families and friends, and suddenly it’s SERIOUS. It’s HAPPENING. Bishop Grutka, Father Fowerbaugh, and our principals await us. Marita salutes us and reminds us of the road we have traveled together at Andrean. Then, it’s our turn. We mount the stairs to the stage as our names are called, walk across to receive a diploma and a greeting from the Bishop, ana descend the stairs on the other side. All that work — all that waiting — and the moment is over. Sister Christopher announces awards and scholarships, and Linda takes her turn at the podium to remind us of the road that lies ahead. We sing our Alma Mater, really meaning it this time, and rise at the benediction to leave the gym — graduates at last.

Seniors — 179 I’ll Be Seeing You . . . The ending of a school year brings to a close the activities ana studies which have sharpened our talents and minds. As our thoughts switch to summer plans, we realize that if and when we return to Andrean, changes are inevitable. Therefore, we say good-bye to ad- ministrators, coacnes, teachers, and friends who have guided our progress throughout the year. We hope we will never say good-bye to the memories and insights we gained at Andrean, for they are ours to savor for a lifetime.
