Yeah, and I wanted wood shop for girls and they wouldn't let us; said it was too dangerous. Even went to the principal with a petition signed by a bunch of girls; he took it to the school board and we were turned down. The following year when the new school opened, I understand the boys took a semester of home ec and the girls got a year of wood shop.
i always wanted to take wood shop but it wasn't allowed back then, in the dark ages, when we had to walk up hill both ways to school. i did decline to take home ec and took choir instead. didn't think home ec would really help since i was the oldest of 5 children and already cooked and sewed.
