When I was in Junior high we just rotated through this whole series of things. Each one was several weeks and some we had twice, 7th and 8th grade. Lets see now.
Cooking and Sewing compromised home ec. The guys trying to cook was really very funny, they had no clue. We made biscuits which has to be about the easiest thing in the world to make, and most of them couldn't do it. For sewing we had to make a pillow the first year and then the second year we made marionettes(sp). I still have mine, it was a lion. We also had to write a play.
We also had shop, where I made a picture frame (the sort that holds 3 pictures) and a pencil holder. Gave the frame to my sister and still have the pencil holder.
We had computers in 8th grade. Remember those big old clunky apple IIes? Remember that lemonade game? Great fun.
I was in band and choir too, but it wasn't after school in Junior high. It didn't become an after school thing until high school.
