At EBB, we had either cooking and sewing or wood shop and apartment. They divided us by the first letter of your last name. I think they thought we would prefer the cooking, sewing choice - those were the A - Ls. I was in the M - Z group. I loved it. Got to hammer and saw, and they actually had a classroom divided like an actual apartment. I learned how to make hospital corners and to correctly set a table. Each of those things came in handy for me later in life. (I'm pretty sure cooking would have too, but that's what restaurants are for) My grandfather was tailor. I sort of learned sewing by osmosis.
