Tex29 - Fortunately (for you) your age, or lack thereof, is showing. Originally, many highschools and colleges - secondary schools - were male only.

For many years thereafter, highschool and college girls were referred to as Co-Eds. By the time I was in highschool - the early 60's - the term "co-ed' was usually applied to college girls only.
End of history lesson.

I am 49 and I graduated with about 250 classmates in 1981; because of FaceBook, we know the post-graduation stories of the majority of our classmates.
