Show Alberta ~ Freshman 6-3 p.15 A L A L A ]I was a conscientious student. I never had enough self confidence to think I knew much /so I w always worked hard just to pass. But I did well. I was on the honor roll in high school. khd when! went to the university of Utah, I knew I wanted to become a teacher. I don't know why,but I never wanted to become anyt~ing else. So at that time, you could take a · . ~~ L normal course , ~nd I had some very good friends. I've always had close friends that !appreciated very much. And we were happy. Although we were cetainly different fr in high school from most --the more sophisticated students. We had much more firm discipline. I wasn't allowed to date when other people did. Not at all. No, not at all. And I had plenty of girl friends, but my mother didn't believe it was the right thing to do,so we didn't. I even wore my hair different and had nice clothes. Some at that time were even made for me. · And I had another uncle at dept. store in n.y. that would send me things. But I ~ don't know why my mother could put over that you could be different and it was all right. So it never really bothered me. When I look at it now, I wonder if it hi:O c£ , c£..-.. 't- ·-- lEcause I wore my hair down my back long after other peoplewore it up. I had curls. And finally J~ when I was a senior, it was in a bunch in be back. But I didn't have my hair cut, coiffered until I started college. What did thatmean to have you bair cut short or long. '"' ' ~" It didn't mean ~t to me--it just meant that everybody was doing it and I wanted it done too. So my mther cut it first, but I didn't §9 even go to a beauty parlor.

I 4V-.:- • never had short Jmi!tr unt1l -- I guess th~ro--- I never did have long hair though very long after -- Ikept it short. L Did your parents encourage you to go to the univesity. was that good foryou? A THey always wanted us to have a collgeroucation,but they never influenced me really. I just knew I wanted to and they, of course, were glad because they felt people should know what they want to do. And it wasn't-- I did get a start from my aunt in New York for my first two years., really, helped out. And my folks helped me. I didn't wor.k when I went to school the first two years. My brothers worked. My older brother Mark, the musician, was a fellow that workedin the night in the wee hours having a dance orchestra of his own. He'd go all over Utah. L Your younger brother. A Myolder brother. L Your younger brother A Yes, and myyounger brother would work for my dad. We ~~ never did get allowances. We just we~kee --were part of thefamily and accpeted all kinds of responsibilies. Because we were part of that family unit. And we wanted it to succeed.
