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.
