High School courses . . .

I work lots of crosswords. One of them today had a clue involving "cosine" and the 4-letter response was "trig", a class that I did not take in high and I am sure that I didn't miss anything as a result. My sister (2 years older that I) and I had to take two years of Latin, for unknown reasons. My younger brother got away with one year of Spanish. Oh well!


I am not really sure that I have used any of my Algebra II class in my lifetime.


I wonder how my life might have been different if I had taken other classes that my parents would not allow.


My high school, in the Chicago suburbs, had more than 3000 students. There were art classes, shop classes, home ec classes - none of which I got to take. I wonder if a class in salesmanship would have helped me, inasmuch as that is what I did for many, many years.
