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. Ronald Schwenzer, S. Anne Renee, SS.C.M. C.S.B. Associate Principal Principal CENTER: Father Schwenzer spends many hours tackling every principal’s 1 Excedrin headache: budgeting.

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.

Guidance For being the busiest place at Andrean, the library is amazingly the quietest. Students and teachers find it the perfect retreat for doing homework, research, or just relaxing after a long day. Sister Emma, Andrean’s librarian, cares for the 12,000 volumes on the shelves as well as the countless machines and materials of the A-V Department. The dedication of the four counselors in the main hall helps Andrean students through the maze of study and career choices: planning, schedules, job and scholarship in formation, and even personal problems or aspirations. TOP: Sister Alfred spends hours directing Seniors like Phil Benson into career choices. CENTER: Snow and the Russian flu keep Mr. Barancyk’s arm in motion writing out absent slips.
