Until the 1960’s educational institutions incorporated social graces as a crucial aspect of a well-rounded curriculum, and finishing schools specialized in etiquette, deportment and proper manners at the table. The ‘60’s and ‘70’s ushered in a decline in the popularity of etiquette training.” Do these classes still exist? The simple answer is yes they do!

Enjoyed these classes, remember them fondly. & got to associate with girls I wouldn’t normally in high school. If it was 1965 , I was 15 & must have been grade 10. From the names listed I would say we were all different ages. I think these classes should be a must, if just to experience things from a different perspective.
