I took typing in high school. Cause that’s where the girls were!
Home Ec too!
Smart move! I think my 9th grade typing class was required for everyone. But I am not sure, but as I recall about half the class was male. As I said, my mom (smart woman) had me take a course during the summer, so I got a grade of A in that class.
In 7th grade the boys did wood shop and art; the girls did home ec and art; in the 8th grade the boys did metal work
and art and the girls did home ec and art.
I still have my cutting board from wood shop-I am taking it to my fiftieth high school reunion next month.
