Andrean High School - Decussata Yearbook (Merrillville, IN)

We dedicate this book to our loving and joyful memory of Father Vincent C. Eckert, C.S.B. 1915-1978 who inspired us as a priest, kept Andrean in operation as treasurer, attended to our needs for food, heat, shelter, and order, spent himself tirelessly in the realization of our dreams for a stadium, amused us often with his keen sense of humor, and delighted us always as a friend.

The challenge of the thinking man — to absorb facts, to acquire knowledge, to perceive through the senses — and then to apply God-given intelligence and emotion to arrive at wisdom, understanding, compassion, humility, a sense of wonder, an awareness of the Creator — to become the glory of God, man fully alive. All this begins from the first moment of life — much of it is developed through academic experience. Here at Andrean the challenge of learning is respected, and, like chess, the challenge becomes more interesting as the game continues. k H l A® S s f T

Administration It’s not so lonely at the top for Andrean’s administration. Father Schwenzer, Sister Anne Renee. Sister Christopher, and Father Benwitz meet frequently to iron out difficulties and plan policies and programs for the future. When the pressures of teaching and studying become great, teachers and students may find themselves envying the life and work of the administrators — but few appreciate the intensity of their responsibility and the extent of their duties. Andrean is fortunate in having four dedicated persons at “the helm.” In the performance of their tasks they strive to put the interests and welfare of the Andrean community front and center. Rev.
