Oh dear...links from my high school to the al Qadea:

Other English texts appeared to be weathered castoffs, perhaps purchased at used bookstores in the West. Among them was Chemistry: an Experimental Science, from the Las Lomas High School library in Walnut Creek, Calif. A stamp by the librarian marked the book, published in 1966, as being in ''poor'' condition after two students returned it on unlisted dates sometime before 1973.

All we did in chemistry was make peanut brittle and tell bad jokes about Moles. Honest. (Link from andy)
