 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.

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

Religion Shows The dual purpose of Neumann High is to instruct students in their religion and to make it an integral part of their lives. In an age of revolution and change within the Church, this all important goal takes an eminent importance. Neumann is fortunate to have a large staff of religion teachers, all of whom are priests and pastors of the various parishes represented at Neumann. Each devotes several hours of his day to impart his knowledge of religion. Several different means were em- ployed, ranging from movies and tapes to the Mass itself. Father Richard Brombach led the practice of setting aside one period a week for Mass in the classroom. COAST TO COAST STORE 443-3674 wahoo. NEBRASKA
