I went and graduated from East-side High School in 1982. Truth be told I experienced the declination of this school in the late 70's. But not only in the school but the city as well, an this was the deciding factor when my family decided to move to P.R.
Never the less I do remember the Doors being chained, drugs being smuggled into the school and used the restrooms. Lucky for me and the teachers understood that when it was time for me to use the restroom they aloud me to walk home which was exactly one block away. This was a story to be told and since I'm a huge fan of Morgan Freeman I am glad he was chosen as the vessel.
