Memoir
In those days there were just 2 high schools in Portland. West Side high which later became Lincoln and East Side which became Washington. Sports were a little different then. The football players went to school in the fall and worked the rest of the year. The baseball players went to school in the spring and worked the rest of the year. That way they could play high school sports for 8 years. The school district finally made a rule that you could not play high school sports after the age of 21.
