Then planning ways to put their hy- potheses to the teSt, the logical thinkers chose mate- rials to work with, whether assembling a paralax viewfinder or preparing an acid solution to form coacervates. For many days orange liquids bubbled in test tubes, light reflected from mirrors and refracted through water, and organisms grew under the micro- scope. Finally, after much experimentation, students concluded from their observations. The scientists now could use what they had learned from logical thinking and apply this knowledge to new scientific problems.

we-1' 'in HE LTH TUDENTS RECEIVED GREEN PASS TO Nicolet's Health Office often served as a refuge for students unable to continue the school day's activities. A cut, bruise, scratch or sprain could be remedied by the school nurse, Mrs. Jones. Often disorders less obvious, such as poor vision or faulty hearing, would be discovered by the Health Department's testing devices. Three comfortable cots were available to rest throbbing heads or ach- ing bodies. lf the Health Department's provisions could not solve the patients' problems, the Nurse would contact a friend or relative. Therefore Nico- let students knew that help was available in B-33, the Health Department suite. Providing relief for Peggy Albert's sprained foot, Mrs. Jones applied ice from the Health Department's new refrigerator.

Dickens, Comman- ger, Michener. Salinger, Asi- mov, Packard, and Twain beck- oned students to enter a world that would expand their hori- zons. Or the librarians directed students to records, accounts, adventures, romances, and leg- ends - all of which helped with their assignments. Also those students concentrating on speeches, themes, or reports welcomed the controlled quiet- ness of library study. Through- out the year, discerning stu- dents realized how important the libraries were for all their varied learning activities.
