David Gerber McCormick Born: October 24, 1942 Entered: September, 1952 In the past eight years, Mac has learned to face the rigors of life at Nichols with a good-natured acquiescence. A take-it-as-it-comes philosopher, he lightens the burdens of students anticipating dreary classes with his whimsical remarks. Mac is, however, a steady supporter of all school activities. Working for the Charities Committee, he has made parting such sweet sorrow for his fellow students and their money. In selling ads for the News, he has successfully persuaded the local merchants to support the publication. As a member of the Foreign Exchange Student Committee, Mac is instrumental in bringing to Nichols our colorful foreign visitors. “With malice towards none and charity for all,” Mac has engendered a warm comradeship with his classmates.

It was most discouraging for him to learn that the headmaster did not see eye to eye with him on this score. Rikmik’s other activities have included a year on both the News staff and the Charities Committee, where he has cheerfully devoted himself to any and all the tasks assigned. His friendliness, altruism, and own rugged experience fitted him well for the task of counseling incoming freshmen during his year on the Freshman Orientation Committee. Dick’s light-hearted friendliness has made him one of the more pleasant members of the Class of I960.

 Clarence Hardin Littell, III Born: September 4, 1942 Entered: September, 1952 A hard tackle near the sidelines, a bone-crushing check to the boards, a line drive into right center—all is pure routine for “Stanley.” Endowed with a natural athletic talent and fine team spirit, Buster has earned eight varsity letters since his sophomore year. In football, his solid blocking and running have been a great help to the team. Deadly accuracy on the ice has often sent an opposing goalie scurrying for a team conference. On the diamond, Buster’s stunning performance in any position often wraps up victory for the green and white. Because of his athletic prowess, Buster has the honor of being the first athlete in many years to be chosen captain of two teams in the same year. Football squad ’57, team ’58, ’59; Hockey team ’58.

This knowledge was often gained first hand. In the fall Bruce exploded out of the line, smashing through the opposition. On the other hand, in the winter he managed, fulfilling every capricious desire of the icers. On the track team his strength again aided him in the shot put circle. Bruce’s activities, however, are not limited to athletics. He has worked on the News staff and on the Charities Committee and been a member of the Math Club and the Glee Club. Bruce’s approach to our routine has made life interesting both for him and for us.

Robert Anthony Mikulec Born: January 23, 1943 Entered: September, 1956 In keeping with his “You worry too much attitude, this optimistic fellow has the worrisome habit of beginning his work at the eleventh hour and finishing with only seconds to spare. The midnight oil usually burns long and late at the Mikulec residence the night before major papers and projects are due. An avid fan of folklore music, carefree Bob has enjoyed singing for two years in the Glee Club. In the fall. Bob dons the green and white stripes for the Zellermen, fortifying the defense as an able half-back. In the extra-curricular, he occasionally demonstrated his creative talent on the Hockey Dance Committee, and his intellectual interest as a member of the Math Club.

In extra-curricular activities he has proved himself more than capable. Chuck’s study hall is noted for its consistent air of tranquility. As a member of the Charities Committee, Chuck learned to solicit funds from his classmates without losing them as friends. Besides these activities Chuck has been a reporter on the Nichols News and a faithful member of the editorial staff of the Verdian, even unto the laborious task of composing senior write-ups. Through his years at Nichols, Chuck has demonstrated a light-hearted yet purposeful attitude towards his academic and extra-curricular activities.
