I remember those, but its been nearly 70 years since I set foot in a
classroom except as the teacher. They were, in the earlier years, even

discontinued the year after I took it. Quitting teaching that was the
biggest mistake the school systems ever perpetrated on our children.

And now we're handing out diploma's to kids that can't count out the
change at McDonald's.
