Likewise...I basically went to Parochial School (Goshen NY) through 9th grade(1953-54), went to Public School 10-11(Dover Plains NY) and we were ‘allowed’ to go to ‘Instructions’ once a week I believe.

I do remember getting 1 credit (towards Regents) from the Cath school and 1/4 from Public.

Also took Latin 1 as Freshman which ‘counted’ as my Language for my entire ‘HS career’.

Moved to CA for Sr year and they didn’t ‘allow’ the 2 credits I earned in NY for Religion (I think..I do know they ‘disallowed’ something which, with a FULL Load would have held up my graduation (I sort of skated those 2 years in NY Public HS, was WAY AHEAD of my ‘peers’ even took typing as a Junior))

I took typing, sewing, cooking in my Senior year (1961) at an elite all girl Catholic High School. The nuns were livid because I was on a full 4 year scholarship. In the end, they told me I could be a math teacher. Upped them a bit...College Degree in Engineering.

Oh yeah...4 years of Latin in HS. Went with an attorney who took 6 years of Latin and he always complained (laughing) that it was hard to find anyone who spoke conversational Latin. LOL
