Somehow or other the Micro Manager and I got onto the subject of high school at dinner tonight. To be specific we were talking about what subjects we took in high school.
One thing I remember is that I took eight courses in my grade twelve. (final year)
The Micro Manager claims she took 6 classes. We were in different provinces so under different systems.
Now I tried to remember what courses I took. I couldn't name everything I took. She asked me if I took biology and I had to really think if I took biology.
Now I took eight courses but I have credit for nine courses. We had a system of applying to write exams. My Principal told me to order an exam for a course I hadn't taken. He said take a look at the exam and if you think you can write it go ahead. If you think it's too difficult just give it back to him. So I wrote it and I think I got 68%. The course was agricultural economics and for a farm boy who was in 4 H, it was an area that I knew quite well.
I will have to look at my old report card to find out what else I took.
I finished high school in June of 1957 which is 66 years ago. I wonder what else I've forgotten in the last 66 years??
