      Room full of 7th graders (12 year olds) at manual typewriters. Keyboards are covered so that your can't look at keys while typing.

      patterns and words formed only from home row letters. Upper and lower row letters were introduced later. We never got to numbers.

      I learned to touch-type numbers (and symbols on the top row) only many years later. Comes in handy for programming.

      Fun class exercises were following instructions to create essentially ASCII art, e.g., 10 spaces, 5 X, 22 sp, 8 X, next line, etc.

      Following all those instructions eventually resulted in a picture of Snoopy. Anything else you want to know?

      Oh, this is a great account. Really appreciate it. How did other kids do? I imagine some were not having as much fun?

      I did pretty well at typing, others not so much. When I got to college (before PCs) we all typed papers on electric typewriters.

      For me, the actual typing was the easy part. For others, it was half the job of writing a paper.

      Other students paid me to type their papers for them. 🤑
