Andrean High School - Decussata Yearbook (Merrillville, IN)

Theology The Theology Department is to most people merely the frosting on the cake of Academics — it’s nice, but not really necessary. At Andrean, this misconception is smashed by thorough curricula and dedicated teachers. The classes cover the Bible, psychology, and the study of faith and morality, and in each one, the students have the opportunity to meet Christ. We at Andrean know that Theology is actually the cake, the foundation of all human understanding and knowledge, and Academics is the icing, an extension of the understanding of our relationship with God. Without the cake, the icing is nothing. TOP: With the eight stages of growth illustrated behind them, Junior psychology students listen to oral reports on the five stages of death. ABOVE: With a conviction won by experience, Father Martin enumerates the demands of stewardship for his Morality students. CENTER: In the seclusion of the Religion Resource Room, Dwayne Wagner and Mike Kristoff collaborate on a report for Faith class. S. M. Edith, SS.C.M. Department Chairman New Testament, Faith S.

Guidance For those problems, both academic and personal, that no one else seems to be able to help with, the Guidance Department is there. With its vast resources of college and vocational information comes the most important part — a large store of experience found in three dedicated counselors. Is there anyone who could meet deadlines for applications, scholarships, and Senior Board exams and still have enough time to guide the rest of the students through the storms of high school? An Andrean Guidance Counselor, of course. Mr. Jeffery Edwards Guidance Director Psychology Sister M. Alfred, SS.C.M. Guidance Counselor Rev. Dennis Kauffman, C.S.B. Guidance Counselor Psychology TOP: Fr. Kauffman projects his directions to reach all four corners of the room and all Juniors writing the P.S.A.T. LEFT: One step ahead of the computer that will grade the P.S.A.T.’s, Mr. Edwards and S. Alfred alphabetize the answer sheets to insure speedy results. ABOVE: Fr. Kauffman refers to the student file to assess a student ' s potential and gather information for a counseling session. Guidance — 19
