The three R ' s of the alphabet: Reading, ' Riting, and ' Rithmetic form the foundation of learning on which we build our tower of knowledge. The books, pens, failures and victories, lectures, labs, term papers, finals, the long hours of study and homework — along with the support we are to each other — all cooperate to effect our education.

October of 1979 brought the Servant of the Servants of God to the United States. The friendly and magnetic personality of Pope John Paul II drew vast crowds in New York, Philadelphia, Dubuque, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Some Andrean students (Mary Beth Bonta and Sue O’Connell among them) joined the thousands who participated in a Mass in Grant Park in Chicago. The thrill of seeing the white-robed Holy Father against the ice-blue waters of Lake Michigan was the first miracle; Lake Shore Drive without traffic was the second. Andrean’s Administration is a combination of execu- tive, policeman, and parent all rolled into one. The peo- ple at the top have combined steadfast leadership with an authentic interest in the students to make this year successful. Working closely with the Student Council. Principal Father Benwitz has made student life better, more interesting, and for some, more bearable. Assist- ant Principals Father Ward and Sister Christopher keep the school — and the students — in line. Through good times or bad, the Administration seems to get all the blame, but in fact, they deserve all the credit — credit for piloting Andrean to whe fe it is today. Rev. Donald E. Benwitz, C.S.B.
