| How was high school growing up? |
How was it here at Roosevelt? Well, it was quite different because it was a mixture of different people. We had Asians, we had Jewish, Armenians, Blacks, Latinos. So it wasn’t predominantly Hispanic like it is now. It was just a mixture. |
| Was there a lot of violence? |
No. We didn’t have too much violence. Oh, we had a few fights and so on but...We had gangs: White Fence, Little Soto, Flats, and so on but they kept to themselves and it wasn’t like it is now. You could walk down the street at night, go to Hollenbeck Park at night, walk around, and you wouldn’t have the problems that you have now. |
