I am curious what old school game you were playing. Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits (we didn't call them halflings until later) were races, not classes. They still had to choose to be fighter, wizard or cleric. This is as it was from the very beginning.
As another 'old school' gamer who was there for them, I can tell you what game it was: the original Dungeons & Dragons. Perhaps you've heard of it?
