Through the series of natural science courses offered at Clymer, the student may gain valuable experience in the ev- eryday world. The Freshman science courses are taught by Mr. Adams. The geological and meteorological aspects of the earth are explored in Earth Science, whereas, in General Science, the fundamentals of the broad area of science are taught. In biology, taught by Mr. Sullivan, we study in detail the animal and plant life of the world. In lab, once a week, bi- ology students dissect small animals, test to find their blood types, and inspect animals and plant specimens. The chemistry class, taught by Mr. Henry, concerns the full study of the chemical composition of matter and the transformation it under goes. Physics, a predominantly senior subject also taught by Mr. Henry, introduces students to the science of matter and motion, work and energy. To the students, mathematics presents challenging sub- ject matter which brings important knowledge that aids the student in the development of reasoning and logical think- ing. Elementary Algebra provides the basis for further courses in mathematics in which quantities are denoted by letters, and problems are solved by equations. Intermediate algebra, taken most often by Juniors, in- volves a more advanced and detailed study of trigonometry and algebra. Math 12, the most advanced course in mathematics offered at Clymer, is taught by Mr. Condon, it involves the study of statistics, trigonometry, algebra, logistics, and in- troduction to calculus. At 9:40, Mr. Henry anxiously awaits the impact of Larry Thompson's eraser as Paul Heslink gives the countdown. Gold! ! exclaims Mr. Adams.
