And I really wanted one of those lucite toothbrush holders, dammit.

No - though I think Home Ec and Shop were both one-semester classes. I had both orchestra and choir every semester. And art for one year. (Theater was all extracurricular.) I didn't take any languages until HS, though - the price of two music classes a day.
edited to add: one semester each of shop and Home Econ were required, as was one semester of "health" class, where they told us not to smoke, not to get knocked up and not to be bulimic. One year of art and one year of music was mandatory, too, in some form or other.
