Home rooms were integrated but then the students went their separate ways. The shop and business kids took Spanish, college entrance types took German or French. The business and possibly the shop kids took typing also. In retrospect Spanish and typing would have been more worthwhile. I still am a two-three-four finger typist that does not do well when the legends wear off the key caps. German comes in handy for listening in on German tourists in the National Parks although they have mostly been replaced by Asian tourists. >> I was fortunate.

'lost' was well beyond a typo so my mind may have wandered. To be fair the moon landing may have a lot to do with Wehrner von Braun and his crew. My brother was considerably older than I and worked on the BOMARC project at Redstone when von Braun was there. My mother and I visited him in '58 when Alabama was fully segregated and campaign speeches tended to include 'nigger, nigger, nigger' leading Wallace, who was a moderate for his time and place to say after he lost 'I will not be out niggered again!' Von Braun must have found it amusing.
