This is not the typical curriculum of a parochial high school, even back then. More likely one would not get Latin. One probably would not get Calculus in 12th grade.

I disagree. My father graduated from U of D in the middle fifties and his curriculum matched that posters and then some (toss in Greek, etc.). There was nothing elite about his family, to the contrary they were pretty damn poor. You save where you can for what matters most to you.

Well, by elite I mean that that school is not typical.

It certainly would not be typical today. Of 7 Catholic high schools in San Francisco, I think only two or three offer Latin.
