Title
1982 Yearbook
Description
Pictured in the front row, left to right: Henry Heating; John Morrisey, St.; Ed "Smitty" Schmidt. In the
second row, left to right: Roy Pierce; Charles "Bud" Conners; John Morrisey, Jr.; "Red" the painter.
Did you ever wonder who
actually maintained the grounds,
the buildings, and the overall
physical structure of St.
Ambrose College? Snow doesn't
clear itself off of the sidewalks,
nor do buildings suddenly obtain
a fresh coat of paint without
the guiding hand of a
maintenance man. The college
would not be standing if it
wasn't for the work put in by
certain men whose concern
revolves solely around the
physicalness of St. Ambrose
College. The professors may
provide the atmospheric
conditions for learning to take
place, and the students may be
the actual essence of the
college, but the buildings
themselves are what give the
college a unifying reality.
Without the upkeep of the
buildings, as with the students,
St. Ambrose College would no
longer exist.

Besides maintenance, there
is another underground
group hard at work:
Housekeeping.
Housekeepers? Keepers,
cleaners, and knowers of
the house, that is what
they are. They sweep away
the remnants of hall parties,
wipe clean the grime of
the day's activities, and
dust clear the memories of
yesterday leaving clear the
hope of the present. They
not only see the passage of
rubbish, but also the
recurence of lives.
Students come and go,
years pass, yet the keepers
of the house stay on
watching over all.
