Versatile Administrators Lead School Education is a weapon, whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. At Neumann education is devastating in that it is handled by an exceptional administration and aimed at an elite student body. Headed by the efforts of Father John Zastrow and Father Philip Rauth, the school's administrative branch seeks to establish a healthy institution dedicated to discovering and ameliorating each in- dividual's specific talents. Such a high goal necessitates extreme dedication for smooth operating. Another indispensible facet connected with the head office is its technical assist- ance provided by Father Harold Birkel and the new secretary, Mrs. Robert Polacek. To co-ordinate and administer the academic curriculum and the extra curricular activities is more easily said than done. It is often necessary to get down to the nitty gritty of maintaining a school. The trying functions of the commanding unit range anywhere from Father Zastrow's financial headaches to Father Rauth's or- ganizational headaches, to Father Birkel's transmissional headaches. Your attention please. Father Rauth voiced over the public address system, which welcomed students every morning. Disturbing announcements with the welcome, is typical of his job. Whether Father Rauth displays more talent in carpentry or organization is unknown. His assist- ance in constructing made the plays possible. 10 ANDERSON AUTO COMPANY 443-4157 WAHOO, NEBRASKA

Curriculum Discovering knowledge, acquiring knowledge, using knowledge, students plumb the curriculum from day to day. Neumannites discover the powers of con- centration and the joys of learning as whole new worlds unfolded in the various fields of study. They learn that drudgery is followed by achievement, intense study by enlightenment. As they are instilled with a desire to learn and the power of thinking and of reasoning their search for fulfillment in life is an easier road to travel. It is in the everyday curriculum that the students are outfitted for their adult professions. Whether they continue their education or not, the hours spent in classes and working on homework will benefit them in the future. When teachers persevere and occasionally break the students' knowledge barrier both grow and discover deep joy and satisfaction. 9

 Rain, hail, ice and thunder. Neumann’s buses won’t go under, largely due to Father Birkel. In addition, he had charge of a Freshman religion class. It wouldn’t be surprising if Father Zastrow considers filling of pop machine a welcome change from the challenge of piloting a school and teaching senior religion. Collecting report cards is only a small portion of Mrs. Robert Polacek's job as office secretary. Mrs. Polacek took up this position at the end of the third quarter. BERANEK BROS.
