START A DEW YEAR The stampede begins! Lots of Clayites pile out of buses, hot rods, or whatever else will get them to school. From here they hurry inside to meet their pals and start another day of school. Of course they have until 8:30, so they can do most anything their hearts desire--within reason. They can struggle to complete overdue homework, chat with their best pals, dance, or just relax! While dashing at the last minute to the book- store for supplies, struggling through the crowded halls, hurrying toward home room, the students see their favorite teachers rushing here and there. They are busy too! Soon bells start ringing, but it isn't in your headg it's just the beginning of homeroom. Clay- ites settle down and prepare to listen to an- nouncements made by Mr. Harke or Mr. Harbaugh. There are always a few who try working on assignments or studying for an important exam while listening to announce- ments. But it never pays to do this! Although Clayites live a busy life, they all enjoy it. AI WASHIHGIIOH ClA Every day Mr. Harke, our principal at Clay, announces the day's activities over the intercom. Rushing to get their unfinished homework done before the first bell rings, these seniors prepare for the usual busy day, and usually some more homework to finish the next morning.

About noon the students of Washington Clay smell the exotic odor of something resembling rotten eggs coming from the east hall. This is one of our advanced science classes, chemistry, in action. Chemistry is just one of the challeng- ing science courses offered at Clay. Others include physics, biology, plane geometry, ad- vanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geom- etry. In these classes hard-working students exercise their mental thinking abilities and reasoning powers. While on a verbal tour through the language classes, English students struggle with book re- ports, source themes, and essays. This training, required for three years, gives Clayites one of their most valuable assets. Also oifered, though not required, is a fourth year which is good college preparation. Latin and Spanish classes seem to be forever translating. It is interesting and even entertain- ing, especially when someone gives their own version of a puzzling sentence or translates the wrong noun. They also study and compare new and strange customs with their own. wv Thirty note cards from five sources by the end of the week!
