MN: Okay, now you graduated with honors from Manzanar High in '44.

BK: Yes.

MN: You received a California Scholarship Federation, but why weren't you able to go directly to college?

BK: We had to first apply to college and be accepted by a college outside of (California), and we had to fill in forms and send it out, and Sam Ono and I were accepted at Sioux City, Iowa, at Morningside College (...) and in order to do that we had to have so much tuition money. So when I graduated we went to work up in northern Utah, (to) do farm work and earn some money. So I spent, from the time I graduated, with a couple of my classmates, we went up north and worked that whole summer into winter, working for various farmers. And with the money that we saved and some help from my parents I sent an application to Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa and was accepted, so when I came back from farm work I knew I had been accepted, so I got ready to move to Iowa.
