They didn't have a shop class where I went to school they spent the money one sports.
We had FFA and welding in that class.
If you couldn't have livestock you couldn't be a member of FFA.
This left a lot of kids out in the cold.
The Ag teacher and I didn't get along well at all in welding class as well as one of my friends.
Your using up all of my gas and rods he would complain.
No it is our gas we pay the taxes order more.
Where some kids would build a small gate the friend and I built big trailers.
Both in the same year he was a grade farther up than me.
As for lathe work I had to teach myself.

Hi Worth,

Either you were ahead of your time, or you didn't get to go to the right high school.

Good to know that there are some schools, and students, doing great things today.
Do you think that they would let us go back to high school? I think it would be more fun now.

Jim
