I went to high school at Mt. Whitney High School in Visalia, California. It was a pretty rough time for me. Sometimes I think I was trying to have somebody love me by producing stuff. So, I got straight A's, I did drama, I played basketball, (When I didn't make the school team, I went out and played or a semi-pro team sponsored by a shoe store. I became the top scorer and defensive man. That showed 'em.) I ran cross country for the school. Well, we were known as the Pioneers. I guess our newspaper was called that, too. This one is dated October 5, 1956. I would have been a senior I think since I graduated in 1957. I will let you read the article. (Remember, all you have to do is click on the pictures and they enlarge nicely.) I did go back to Helena, Montana, for three summers, going from an apprentice to lead actor in those three years. This was another one of those endeavors that I got involved in that did not pan out as I thought and was promised. I think people directing an enterprise like this need a lot of help and support and sometimes they promise things they cannot deliver. Anyway, I was told I was going to become a part of the management/ownership of the theater which never happened. This did not detract from this being a wonderful experience for me.
