Most useful high school course

I've been thinking about DHS most useful courses.
Mine is Mrs. Eshleman's typing class with the old klutzy typewriters and that ticking metronome. She would speed up that metronome to super sonic speeds (or so it seemed at the time). I think my best typing speed speed was 60-70 cwpm. Now it is probably 20-30 incorrect words pre minute (iwpm). I never have gotten accustomed to the light touch of the computer keyboard. I believe the typewriters were manual pre- electric vintage. You had to hit those keys hard and then hit that lever to get to the next line. Now is the time for all good men.... Little did we know then that typing would be so valuable for typing e- mails. She was ahead of the times. I think the most fun course was American Government where Mr. Biggs made us memorize the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. He made the course entertaining. The worst course I can remember is Algebra (or maybe Geometry). Mr. Eldridge (or something like that name) taught one of those courses. I never could figure out all those equations and hypotheses. Also some of those stupid math things like if a train leaves Chico, California at 2 pm and stops for 37 minutes in Muncie, Indiana, what is the elapsed time to arrive at Columbus, Ohio if the train is traveling at 38 mph? Who cares? What's your most useful or memorable high school course? The Weaselmeister |

I have two, like you the typing has been the most valuable.? Believe it or not, my favorite class was english with I. Glen Berg.? I latched onto, literature and mythology and excelled.? That is?about the only course I received a B in.? It might have helped also that I. Glen dated my mother when they attended DHS, 250 years ago. ?
