... A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted . . . The seed of curiosity, the stem of learning, the leaves of impression, the buds of enlightenment — together these form the plant of knowledge which must be nourished and cared for properly. Our knowledge is continuously growing and branching. And our purpose is fulfilled when this knowledge takes root in other minds, and the cycle of life continues. 12

Administration TOP: Mr. Barancyk takes time off from his duties as Dean of Students to look at pictures. CENTER LEFT : Father Ward’s smile is motivated by the fact that the school day is nearing an end. CENTER RIGHT: Chaperone duties at the dance marathon don’t prevent Sister Christopher from keeping an eye on the Notre Dame game. ABOVE: Mr. Jovanovic checks his calendar for the day’s agenda. Bells, schedules, computer print-outs, detention, late slips, announcements, recruitment, and calendars are just small parts of what an administrator is really all about. Our administrators are the thinkers and the organizers behind a smooth operation. Because of their education and experience, they bring to Andrean unique abilities to set curriculum, construct a personal schedule for each student, and present a well-rounded calendar of events. They are primarily responsible for the general academic and disciplinary standards at Andrean. But there is another very essential quality which our administrators possess which adds to their effectiveness. They do their job with a selfless dedication and love for the student. Their primary goal is executing a smoothly operated school year to give us the best education possible. Their obvious care and concern for bach student as a person serves to motivate us to do our best. Rev. Donald E. Benwitz, C.S.B. Principal Rev. John J. Ward, C.S.B.
