Hi´s Application to UCLA ... 1939

Dublin Core

Title

Hi´s Application to UCLA ... 1939

Description

Hi graduated from Uni High and didn´t really want to go to college. But Ethel bet him $5 that he couldn´t get into UCLA, so he applied.

He got in. Took the winnings, but never attended.

On the front of the application it confirms that they were living at 2449 Barry Avenue at the time and his phone number was just "32185".

In an error, Hi listed his birthdate as February 14, 1939. He gave his field of study as "pre legal".

On Page two, he listed Mort as a prior graduate of UCLA (actually Mort attended UC Berkeley) in Summer of 1938.
