READING CLASS . . . ropid improvement A course which is becoming increasingly popular at Washburn is the developmental reading class. This is a voluntary course open to anyone who is interested in improving his vocabulary and reading skills. The aver- age and above-average readers are encouraged to take this course because they are the ones who will protit most. When a student begins the reading class, he is given The Triggs Diagnostic Survey Test, which determines his individual reading slcills. The student can then be given reading material suited to his needs and ability. A survey taken of students enrolled in such a course showed that most students retain 7570 ot the slcills they learn.

JERRY SEALE: English. SCIENCES . . . scoles ond solutions Chemistry, one ot the most ditticult courses Washburn otters, is not avoided by our seniors. Each year about torty-six per cent ot the sen- ior class tind themselves in the midst ot test tubes, Bunsen burners, and chemicals in their study ot matter and how it changes. The course is highlighted by lectures, movies, bewildering experiments, and the making ot three-dimen- sional atoms. On days that labor- atory experiments take place, stu- dents are kept in suspense, never knowing what to expect. Chemistry presents a challenge to the Wash- burn student to pertect his study habits and to train his mind: thus, it is a valuable preparation tor col- lege work. Washburn can be proud ot the excellent achievements ot its chemistry department. I was cz teen-age chemist. RAYMOND SMITH: I-Iistory, Faculty Manager ot Athletics.
