Where in DC? I attended DC schools (mostly) up through the 8th grade. Back in the '50's through '61.
We had Wood Shop, Metal Shop and Print Shop in Jr High.
(BTW, the photo was from the Web. My set was bought for me in 1968 by my girlfriend. I was in Vietnam and the captain I worked for (before heading to the bush) had asked if I could design a pavilion-type building for the 1st Marine Division Comm Company. My drafting set from college days 65-67 was lost in antiquity!
