Mr. Terence M iraglia - Chem istry, Science Research. The Philosophy Uf Science... The Total Involvement Of The Student Man's cultural evolution from his primitive beginning to his present technology was brought about by his sys- tematic inquiry into his environment. San Clemente High School Science Department inquiry approach still per- meates the philosophy behind the teaching of all modern science programs. All contemporary courses whether they be BSCS biology, Harvard physics or Conceptual Chem- istry require the student to prove or disprove a given hypothesis. While a teacher's approach to the providing of the basic tools lscience axiomsj may vary, the ultimate sought-after result is always the total involvement of the M iss Alice Price - Biology. student in discovering the conclusion. Under the leadership of Mr. Philip Grignon, the Science Department continued its intensive search for scientmc truth by ojering such courses as Marine Ecology,Aero- Space, and Science Research. However, the department was not satisfied to remain static. It had other projections for the future. The establishment of a Marine Research Laboratory, a museum and classroom complex at Dana Point Harbor, is one example of a future undertaking. There seemed to be no hesitation in the strides towards a better understanding ofthe world in which we live. Mr. James Klein - Biology, Lde Science. E ?
