Show Harry Smith tape 1 side two p.12 conditions that existed that could not be overcome. The power of the church disseminated throughout allthe kids. And if you weren't a Mromon, you were outside of the circle. I was inside of most of the circles because of my activiites and perhaps I was likeable enough and I tried hard enough. So that it was hard to resist me in certain fields ... LK This was a Ogden, right. HS That was in Ogden. I didn't have~e same success at the University of Utah. I could/R~~e expected the same success because ~eSalt Lake East Side high school, for example, had plenty of good leaders. They had plenty of people ~o were as active as I was. So wAeH=!=eame= they came up to the university ; and they know each other. They don't know me from Adam. And short--3~ years that I was up there, I couldn't be accepted in their spheres. And I couldn't be active in the things that they were active in because they outnumbered me. LK They-is-- Woman Yeah, but you made the .. HS I did a few things--scholastically I tried to excell . LK Now during those years,those were tough years, when youwere going to school, was it usual for a young man to be going to the University. HS Oh, yeah. Yeah. Woman Especialy, you couldn't .... HS Basically, even though the times were very very tough, Ihad a car . And I commuted te= from Ogden to Salt Lake. I stayed here during the weeks but the purpose of thecar was so I could leave Friday afternoons and I would go to work Friday afternoon and maybe Friday night i necessary and all day Saturday and all day Sunday. LK WHo did yoffitay with here. HS To begin with, I stayed at a Jewish boarding house. [The name?] I don't know. But, it was --Bernstein. Bernsteins had a house; they had a lot of rooms and they didn't have any money. And so they took in boarders in order to exist. And the ironical thing is here is a grandson of theBernsteins who just gave a hundred thousand dollars to charity. Thisyear. How times do change. Andhis father gave plenty to charity. And he was very very wealthy. After 1940, he started to make some money. I'm talking ~out, I'm going to school 1933. And he is barely making enough for carfare to go anyplace. And his brother's going to law school because there wasnt much expenditure of money. to ~~ |
