November 26, 200817 yr The high school I attended (graduated 1973) was fairly large. Grades 10-12 only, graduating class of 649. The year I started the 11th grade, the school completely changed its curriculum. The course catalog that year was 40-50 pages. Many of the expanded offerings were in English, and were semester courses. My jr. and sr. year I took Language and Human Behavior (a persuasive writing class), Mythology, Acting Arts and a class on Bill Shakes. I have no idea how long the school kept with this system. Gym classes were 9 weeks long. I always took football, wrestling, gymnastics, and track. But my basic 10th grade history class with Mr. Solomon, who was keen on having students write "you are there-type essays) was my favorite.
November 26, 200817 yr Author Business Law, Business Management. Business Math - (these three mostly bc I had the same teacher for all three classes plus another class in my Senior year. My Senior year I had him as a teacher for 3 of the 6 classes that I had that year. Biology Drivers Ed. - We mostly got out and ran errands that the teacher had to do. Family Living - This class was suprisingly fun (especially when we baked a cake and my partner and I both thought that the other had added the sugar.....cake with no sugar and the teacher was the taste tester :eek:). Like Stick said earlier this class was very helpful for later in life. Study Hall - Mostly my senior year study all and this was the last time slot of the school day. Our teacher was the golf coach and the school was not air conditioned at the time and by the afternoon the school could get unbearable in hot weather. I played on the golf team and on the days that we had a Golf meet after school and it was very hot he would tell me to go in the coaches office where it was air conditioned and kick back. Thanks Old Rambler - I have enjoyed your post through the years but now you just hit me where it hurt - I'm a FCS(Home Ec) teacher that does teach family living - but I make the students test it first.:lol::lol:

November 26, 200817 yr If any Trinity teachers are reading this, understand that this list is not exhaustive, merely exemplary... World Civilization with Mr. Gene Eckert U.S. History with Mr. Paul Vale Hebrew Scriptures with Mr. Tom Dubay American Civics with Mr. Paul Vale AP Economics with Mr. Tom Zehnder Chorus with Mr. Ken Bechtloff The problem here is that I had some great teachers for classes that, no matter how good the teaching was, I could never acknowledge that they were my favorite classes because the subject matter didn't grab me much at all... I'm looking at you Biology with Mr. Michael Budniak: great teacher and a great man, but science never grabbed me that much.

November 26, 200817 yr My favorite class of all time has to be Advanced Physical Education. I learned more in there that in any class. It got me in shape, taught me how to lift weights properly, how to do many different things, and above all it was with my favorite teacher. Not only did we lift weights, we learned how to get stronger without weights, manual resistance, yoga (or at least attempted yoga) and so forth. It was fun and I got more out of it than anything.
November 27, 200817 yr I loved History,English,Home Economics,Georgraphy,as a matter of fact i loved them all. LOL
