MA: I'm curious to go back a little bit and talk about your high school experience. How do you think the Niseis fit in? I mean, did you attend Lewis & Clark?

GY: Uh-huh.

MA: How did the Niseis fit in there?

GY: I think real good. I never really had any big problems. Being involved in sports didn't surely hurt, I think, the Japanese chances.

MA: Which sports were you involved in?

GY: Primarily football, but on the other hand, lot of the valedictorians, salutatorians were Japanese. And you would be surprised if there wasn't a valedictorian or a salutatorian in those days in, on the high schools. Primarily the Japanese were at Lewis & Clark, several were at Rogers in the northeast corner, several were at North Central, and several were at East Valley, way out in the valley. But primarily, most of your Japanese were at Lewis & Clark.
