the third year and it was going to go into this fourth year until the war came along as head of opportunity along with the busboys and we as busboys had the privilege an opportunity to see in that show and handed now this bad food and meet each other that we have they come from different sides the towns we've all good friendships among as sales and had a happy experience they are dancers and tall girls tall girls didn't have to know how to dance i had graduated midterm i was valedictorian i had two hundred dollars to go to college and my

father this is during the great depression and i now some man jumped off of buildings and he didn't do that but when he's the branch out office of the western union that he was the manager of when it was abolished time and he was given a small pension he had a nervous breakdown and so these are hard times so and this came up and that pay was twenty five dollars a week so on it was just irresistible but my mother didn't like it and so she started falling my teachers and asking them i wanted to do it and then the teachers that she talked to they knew i had to have the money to finish out my college education and so they convinced her that i could survive in let the money in and i'm so i did and i went down there you had tried heroin and they said given the nation's teachers have a law that
