I had to take Personal Typing the 1st semester of my junior year so I could get on the HS newspaper staff the next semester. Then my dad was transferred to another state for my senior year and I found I had all the credits I needed for graduation except the required 1 semester state history class. However, I couldn’t take just that so I filled my schedule with every business class offered in that small HS (42 in my class.) This included a full year of typing so I really got my speed improved.
The only other class that was as helpful in college was Senior English where the teacher basically taught us how to easily pass freshman composition in college. Blessed that man’s name my entire freshman year while many of my peers couldn’t write a thesis statement to save their soul.
Et years after my freshman year in college. No one can write a thesis statement now either.
I write a coherent report, and people look at me as if I were a wizard.
I got you beat...my graduating HS class, 1963, had 32 students.
The class before had over 100, and the class after had almost 200.
Our class was so small, we can’t garner enough money to have a decent reunion.
