I recently found an interesting quiz that my dad saved from his high school days, where students were asked to fill out anatomical locations of a sheep and lamb. He filled out all the correct answers. Students were required to list all 26 'points of the sheep' and 8 'locations of standard wholesale lamb cuts.' This was back when many people still had small farms, or at least a few chickens, and gardens and there were orange groves all over Southern California. These were the days, by the way, when my dad actually would, on occasion - carry his .22 rifle to school- he'd keep it in the coat closet, and would go hiking with his friends after school. I've included a picture of the anatomy test and also a picture of him in high school too, just for fun. ;-) I also added one picture of him and me together, years later. By the way, my dad told me when I was probably less than five years old about the fact that they were putting fluoride which was rat poison, in the drinking water, and that we were never going to drink it. (You can see the Sparkletts water cooler in the background.) Back then, people viewed it as a 'conspiracy theory,' but my dad was way ahead of his time.

If I want to know the parts of a sheep, I look in cold dept of the store and read the label.
i guess that's the thing, back then people didn't depend on labels, wal mart, and GMO frankenfood. back then they actually had butchers to buy your meat, or you raised animals and killed them. the most interesting part is that this is not some hick town in mid America. this was in the los angeles area, not a farm area. how things have changed.

You look so much like your dad! :)
There should be many more trade oriented classes and shops in HS today.
