SCIENCE GEORGE W. MICHALKO PHILIP E MCNAIRY B.S., St. Bonaventure B S Trinity By emphasizing laboratory work, the science depart- ment tries to impart to students a clearer understanding of the basics of science. Additionally, the department wants to bring students to an understanding of the methods of a scientist, and most important, to an un- derstanding of how a scientist thinks. Scientific think- ing is a process by which one looks at a problem ra- tionally aud unemotionally, and checks all ideas against observed facts. The science department believes this type of thinking vital and in its courses in general science, biology, chemistry, and physics, tries to imbue students with a sense of its urgency, hoping they will apply it to their own lives.

Mr. Herr has again led a vigorous campaign to enlarge the musical horizons of the Nichols stu- dent. Both the Upper and Junior School Glee Clubs operate under his direction, as well as sixth grade and Fifth form music classes. Through patience as well as his own artistic abilities, Mr. Daleo has provided the school with the opportunity to express itself artistically. With his analysis of new paintings, Mr. Daleo has also given insight into some facets of contemporary painting. . MUSIC SAMUEL L. HERR ANTHONY F. DALEO 24
