In Louisville Kentucky there was one High School called a Trade School.
I didn't choose to attend there.
The H.S. that I went to had College Preparatory classes and General Technical
classes and maybe others I can't. recall right now.
College prep required students to take a Foreign Language
My brother took Spanish class, I looked at his book and decided I DID NOT want
to learn a Foreign Language.
Four Classes of Mechanical Drawing was required with the General Tech. Program,
along with English, Biology, Algebra, Plane Geometry, Physics and Shops. ( I
took Woodworking and Electronics / Radio).
