Classes in Tents
My sympathy goes out to those young people from Avalon who are going to classes in tents (“Avalon Students Roughing It as Contamination Closes School,” Sept. 26). We had the same situation. I graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1940. This was in Boyle Heights.
There had been a large earthquake in the early 1930s. There simply wasn’t enough money to repair all of the buildings. So, we had some of our classes in tents. The tent classes were just as good as the regular classes. No big deal!
