Yo ProudVet77,
My class graduated less than 1,000. My brother went there as did many friends.
Did you know two Tech grads won the Nobel Prize?
Did you know Charlie Wang (of Computer Associates) was in my class?
Harry Chapin was the year before me.
My God, what a great High School we went to.
Absaolutely. I've run into several tech graduates in the computer industry, all straight shooters. The best. I was a electronics major and will match it up against most secondary technical schools.
But it was tough. My electricity 1 teacher Mr Izzi was as tough as any. In your lab reports if you spelled a word wrong you went from an A to an A-. A second spelling mistake A- to B+ and so on. Never write in the border that was worth another drop in grade. Don't even think of a math error. That was worth another grade or two.
By the end of year 1 were were calculating the phase angle of the current through a cube made up of caps, coils and resistors. All on a slide rule. 1 problem would use up almost a whole double period!
