'Pepper' Always Wanted To Be A Chef
By Woody Laughman boy
James A. "Pepper" Jackson
wanted to be a chef even before
he knew for sure what a chef is.
Thas was back in Cedar grove, a
little railroad town outside Shreve-
port, La., where his aunt ran the
town boarding house when he was
as a boy.
"I would stand on a kitchen
stool waiting for the bread to raise
or try to help her make something.
She'd look at me and say, "Pepper,
you're making a mess again'."
The nickname Pepper came from
his grandpa. "He used to say I
was lively and hot as pepper. One
time he said he was holding me
and I kicked him in the eye."
Pepper's family moved to Texas
when he was 9, settling in Corpus
Christi where he became a house-
boy for a wealthy department store
owner, later assistant cook and
eventually butler.
Pepper came to Fresno in the
middle of the depression when
jobs were hard to find. For about
a year he was a utility man at
Western Compress and a year later
he got back into the food service
business at Sunnyside Country
Club where he was to remain, on
and off, for the next 15 years.
After that he worked on the
kitchen staff of the Elks Lodge
when it was still downtown. In the
early 1950s, with partner Fay
"Rep" Replogle, he bought the old
closed-up five & dime at E and
Merced Streets, opening it under
the name pepper's. Four years later
the partners bought what is now
Nashville West but then known
variously as the Redwood Inn or
The House of Heizenrader. They
named it Bayou.
After a few years there, Pepper
moved back down Blackstone Ave-
nue to Rep's House of Ribs where
he was chef for a decade before
becoming associated with Love's
Wood Pit Barbecue, a family-style
restaurant at 4313 N. Blackstone
Ave.
Love's, which seats 130 in its
dining room and 35 in the lounge,
is one of a score of restaurants op-
erated by a Southern California
chain. The $100,000 facility, em-
ploying 32 persons features an
Early California architecture utiliz-
ing natural woods and rich color
highlights.
All of its cooking is over an open
oak-wood fire. A house specialty
is barbecued beans in which pinto
beans are flavored with an old
Southern barbecue sauce.

Clatchy Fresno News Complex.

Janet Duren - CEP Success Story
During high school, Janet was a
member of the girls' basketball
team. She also participated in the
Drama Club, Future Teachers, Ral-
ly Committee, Homemakers and
served with the Library staff in
addition to working on the year-
book.
Also during high school, where
she accumulated better than a 3.0
grade point average, Janet work-
ed in the fields cutting peaches,
and picking cotton and grapes to
help support five brothers and four
sisters.
Born in Melvern, Arkansas-Jan-
et has lived in Fresno 14 years, and
in 1969 came to Concentrated Em-
ployment Program in search of em-
ployment.
Since her high school graduation
from Edison, Janet Duren-near-
ing her twenty-second birthday-
had been married, divorced, at-
tended one year at Fresno City Col-
ege and raised two children with
relatively little income.
While she had received some
support since she was 18, Janet
is now eyeing the future with more
optimism.
Employed by Gottschalk's as a
file-clerk in the Accounts Payable
Department-handling invoices and
claims, Janet attributes much of
her fortune to CEP.
Janet's situation, typical of many
enrollees at CEP, is the primary
reason for CEP's existence. Aimed
at a specific poverty target area,
CEP helps find and develop jobs
for enrollees who meet certain eli-
gibility criteria.
Janet's main interest seemed to
be clerical work, but she consider-
ed Nurse's Aide Training before
finally settling on clerical training,
with help from her employability
development team at CEP. With
little real work experience, CEP
sent Janet to MTI; where she grad-
uated as a clerk-typist.
Considered "very dependable"
and "sincere" by her Job Counsel-
or, Janet's "strong motivation to
get into clerical work," finally re-
sulted in a job at Gottschalk's.
In the meantime, Janet had tak-
en advantage of CEP supportive
services. Janet's interviews were ar-
ranged by CEP and CEP transpor-
tation got her to and from them.
Babysitiing expenses were also
handled by CEP.
"I'm doing very well now." said
Janet. "I like it here at Gottschalks.
They're really nice."
With six months experience at
Gottschalks, Janet plans eventual-
ly to continue her education, nights
at Fresno City College and then
Fresno State. She plans to major in
Business Administration.
But for now the attractive, fash-
ion-conscious young mother plans
to take advantage of her own em-
ployee benefits ("discounts") to
keep "up-to-date" and, also, the
valuable work experience that is
being gained, to provide for her-
self and two children, Bart and
Tamika, in the future.
According to her supervisor, Mrs.
Marguerite Codomo, "Janet is pro-
gressing very well. We really like
her here. At first, she had a rough
time, but now she understands the
system better and is doing quite
well."

Former Fresno Boxer Kennedy
Collapses, Dies
George Kennedy, 45, former
Fresno heavyweight boxer, collaps-
ed at the Fresno Boxing Gym on
Church Avenue after sparring five
rounds and later again at his home
and was dead on arrival at the
Valley Medical Center.
Kennedy collapsed about four
minutes after the workout but re-
fused to go to a hospital. He was
taken by car to his home at 2503
S. Lilly Ave. where his wife, Jewell,
said he complained of chest pains
and collapsed again. She called an
ambulance.
Kennedy, who had been employ-
ed by the city as a refuse collector,
was managed by Pat Di Furia in
the late 1950s and early 1960s,
fighting eight pro bouts under Di
Furia and another dozen under
others.
His boxing career highlight was
an upset victory over nationally
ranked Ruben Vargas in The Fres-
no Memorial Auditorium in 1957.
"George was one of the smart-
est fighters I ever handled," Di
Furia said. "He was just too nice
a guy to be a fighter. Not a mean
streak in him."

JAILS AND PRISONS
For years people have been talking about the ineffectiveness of jails
and prisons, because they lack constructive rehabilitation programs.
Albert Willis, an ex-convict who has served time in three different pris-
ons, asked the Grapevine to publish this first-hand-experience article on
the subject with the hopes that one day someone will take some kind of
positive action toward changing the conditions.
Hybari gandi
Seeds in the form of vibrations are planted in the minds of young individuals who
are housed in prisons and jails-"County Prisons."
While these minds are in a subtle stage--soft as putty--they can be molded FOR
BETTER OR FOR WORSE. It depends on whether they receive any constructive liter-
ature, effective counseling or rehabilitative aids that are effective; or they can be
left to suffer inhumane treatment, given books titled "Guns across the West," and
isolation from their peer group intellectuals.
When we speak of community development we must, also, speak of where the
"Grass Roots Grow"-the jails and penitentiaries, because for every juvenile that
is released without guidelines, employment and social perspectives--he is capable of
corrupting (talking about crime out of the side of his mouth) the minds of many
sons and daughter's virginity.
'Till now, and since my eighteen months of incarceration-back to back, I haven't
seen, or witnessed, any effective rehabilitation mechanics working towards the "Grass
Roots Lumpen-proletariates" (common low class people). And the more our Black
Officials remain reluctant and insensitive toward the terrors of society-the more our
communities shall receive poison, i.e., drugs, maturing crime, chaos, pimping and
prostitution.
While imprisoned, THEY LEARN NOTHING MORE. You see, jails per se are
merely crime schools. Penitentiaries are crime colleges! But with a minimum of con-
structive training, while imprisoned, young minorities can come out further ahead-
not further behind. The minorities that you strive to help on the outside are not
near as detrimental to society than those who are stemming from jails-County Pris-
ons. And they are crying out for help! BUT HELP WON'T COME. Thus, they feel
rejected, downtrodden, despised, subordinated even by their own Black Brothers and
Sisters. Subsequently, they return to the ghetto with a vendetta instinct; A BITTER
PILL.
Be in the vanguard for this revolution: EFFECTIVE REHABILITATION WITHIN
THE CORE OF RACISM-county prisons.

Mourn
The
Death
Of
Robert
Trotter
By CHARLES MEUX
Robert Trotter, born March 27, 1948 in Fresno where he was also
raised, was first black elected official to the Fresno County Board of Education
and he was the youngest in California and the nation.
Mrs. Trotter had this to say about her son, "he was easy to get along
with, very observant and perceptive at an early age. Once he understood
something he held on to his opinion."
When he was just a little boy his parent took him to church where he
attended Sunday School and participated in many of the church programs.
Mrs. Trotter stated that, "prayers was often in the home," which
he seemed to like very much.
Robert wasn't a sports minded person he only participated when he
had to, but his best subjects were drama, music and public speaking,
while he attended school. Robert attended Kirk and Jefferson Elementary
Schools, Longfellow Jr. High, and Roosevelt High School all of Fresno.
He continued his education at Woodbury College in Los Angeles where he
was class president for two years, his major was journalism. He also attended
US International Institute in San Diego. He lived with his sister in
Los Angeles before he returned from college.
Trotter considered himself an authority on local and state politics, having
been involved with campaigns of others since he was 12. He began
his political career while he was in Junior High, he played an important
part in former Mayor Floyd Hyde campaign. The young man like political
life.
The soft-spoken Trotter indicated in an interview once, that he is convinced
the scope of an elected official depends solely on the office
holder.

J. M. Mayo, Prominent Citizen, Dies
Memorial funeral services for
Jay Maxie Mayo was held on
March 29, 1971 at the Jesse E.
Cooley, Jr. Funeral Chapel.
Mayo had lived in the Fresno
area for the past 29 years. During
this time he was very active in
many clubs, lodges, schools, and
churches. He had been employed
for the past 14 years as a deputy
sheriff for the County of Fresno.
He was a member of the San
Joaquin Lodge No. 37, and served
as the District Deputy Grandmaster
of the Central Valley. He was the
past Master of the Raisin Center
Lodge No. 5, and past Patron of
the Rising Star Chapter No. 5 O.
E. S., a member of the Fresno County
Peace Officers Assn., a member of
the 20th Century Elks Club, a mem-
ber of the Hoover High School
Boosters Club, and PTA, a mem-
ber of the Edison High School Ad-
visory Board, and PTA, and was
associated with the Carver Ele-
mentary, Irwin Elementary, and
Awanhee Schools PTA.
He was a memberof the Carter
Memorial A.M.E Church of Fresno,
and has been a former trustee of
the church.
Survivors include a wife, Mrs.
Nadine Mayo, a teacher at Lincoln
elementary School; three sons, Har-
vey, Kenneth and Larry, all of
Fresno; one daughter, Miss Sonya
Janell Mayo of Fresno; three bro-
thers, Jesse Mayo, Ernest Mayo,
both of Longview, Texas, and Cran-
ford Mayo of Boston, Mass.; three
sisters, Mrs. Bernice Wright of Long-
view, Texas, and Mrs. Blanche
connor, and Mrs. Hattie Jones of
Boston, Massachusetts.
Trotter made no prediction, he noted that as the son of a clergyman
he had met a variety of people and he was confident he could work
with people.
After being elected to office he stated, "take over the establishment
but do it legally." Trotter said he was unalterably opposed to legalizing
marijuana and urged the young people not to smoke it. He went on to
say, "I see my political activity as 'another approach to civil rights.'
Others can scream and yell about various programs, but I can vote on
these programs now. "
Robert was on the paid staff of James L. Flournoy, a Negro attorney
from Los Angeles who was the Republican candidate for secretary of
state in the November election. Trotter had said his plans were to be a
paid consultant to other candidates.
Robert Trotter was on his way to the top, he was showing what a
young black man can do, by this he was more so helping his own race.
What stopped him? Nothing but society. What crime did he commit?
None but something that people do everyday. He didn't murder anyone
or rob or steal.
Robert Trotter should be remembered, and placed in all of our minds.
He was making a dream come true "let's continue."

Fresno's
Edison High
School Has Problems
(Edison High School is located in West Fresno and has an enrollment of approxi-
mately 575 students who are predominantly Black. Approximately 500 students who
live in the Edison area are now attending other high schools under the open enroll-
ment plan.)
An administrator who is employed by the Fresno City Unified School
District recently told a group of Black parents and educators that he felt
that Edison High School's environment was detrimental to its students.
The adminisrator was speaking only as a concerned citizen and not as
an official representative for the Fresno City Unified Schools District. He
enlightened those in attendance to the many problems at Edison High.
Below are some of the problems that were discussed.
(1) Most of the top students who live in the Edison area have trans-
ferred to other schools across town.
(2) A large percentage of the remaining students at Edison are most-
ly interested in school socially and are not coming to learn aca-
demically.
(3) Over 15 per cent of the approximate 575 students are absent
each day for no reason. 19 percent on Mondays and Fridays.
(4) It usually takes the teachers ten to fifteen minutes to settle many
of the classes down in order to begin a lesson.
(5) Too many non-sudents are hanging around the school.
42
(6) There are usually two to three crap games going on daily across
the street from the school.
(7) Most of the students' parents don't paricipate in school affairs
such as the Booster's Club.
(8) Edison has no P.T.A.
(9) There are no longer any assemblies because it takes more than
twenty minutes to get the students seated and many times they
are disrespectful to the speakers and entertainers.
(l0) The average I.Q. at Edison is 79 (only 8 points over what is
normally classified as a mentally retarded person. Nationwide
I.Q. average is l00. Average I.Q. for Fresno High is 98; McLane
High l03.
(11) Because of poor game control, it has been difficult to get referees
to officiate them and teams to play Edison. (San Joaquin High
School team, which is made up of many Black players, has drop-
ped their games with Edison next year because of poor crowd
control. Several track meets have been cancelled for the same
reasons.)
(12) Edison is not only one of the most segregated schools in the coun-
try but its student body is mainly composed of Black students who
are on the lowest level of the socio-economical scale.
(13) Half of the school's student body are girls and almost one-third
or one hundred are pregnant or will be during the year.
(14) Militants; pimps; crap shooters frequent the school as do drop-
out.
The administrator also stated that Edison's teachers are well qualified
academically and most have years of experience and are comparable
with any of the teachers in the city. He said that it was becoming more
difficult to get experienced teachers and administrators to come to Edison.
Meanwhile, the State Department of Educaion and Federal Civil
Rights officers will begin an investigation to see if the Fresno City Unified
School District has failed to keep Edison on an equal basis with other
schools in Fresno. A local citizen was instrumental in getting the investi-
gation when he charged that the curriculum and program at Edison were
inferior to the district's other five high schools.

'Pepper' Always Wanted To Be A Chef
By Woody Laughman boy
James A. "Pepper" Jackson
wanted to be a chef even before
he knew for sure what a chef is.
Thas was back in Cedar grove, a
little railroad town outside Shreve-
port, La., where his aunt ran the
town boarding house when he was
as a boy.
"I would stand on a kitchen
stool waiting for the bread to raise
or try to help her make something.
She'd look at me and say, "Pepper,
you're making a mess again'."
The nickname Pepper came from
his grandpa. "He used to say I
was lively and hot as pepper. One
time he said he was holding me
and I kicked him in the eye."
Pepper's family moved to Texas
when he was 9, settling in Corpus
Christi where he became a house-
boy for a wealthy department store
owner, later assistant cook and
eventually butler.
Pepper came to Fresno in the
middle of the depression when
jobs were hard to find. For about
a year he was a utility man at
Western Compress and a year later
he got back into the food service
business at Sunnyside Country
Club where he was to remain, on
and off, for the next 15 years.
After that he worked on the
kitchen staff of the Elks Lodge
when it was still downtown. In the
early 1950s, with partner Fay
"Rep" Replogle, he bought the old
closed-up five & dime at E and
Merced Streets, opening it under
the name pepper's. Four years later
the partners bought what is now
Nashville West but then known
variously as the Redwood Inn or
The House of Heizenrader. They
named it Bayou.
After a few years there, Pepper
moved back down Blackstone Ave-
nue to Rep's House of Ribs where
he was chef for a decade before
becoming associated with Love's
Wood Pit Barbecue, a family-style
restaurant at 4313 N. Blackstone
Ave.
Love's, which seats 130 in its
dining room and 35 in the lounge,
is one of a score of restaurants op-
erated by a Southern California
chain. The $100,000 facility, em-
ploying 32 persons features an
Early California architecture utiliz-
ing natural woods and rich color
highlights.
All of its cooking is over an open
oak-wood fire. A house specialty
is barbecued beans in which pinto
beans are flavored with an old
Southern barbecue sauce.

Clatchy Fresno News Complex.

Janet Duren - CEP Success Story
During high school, Janet was a
member of the girls' basketball
team. She also participated in the
Drama Club, Future Teachers, Ral-
ly Committee, Homemakers and
served with the Library staff in
addition to working on the year-
book.
Also during high school, where
she accumulated better than a 3.0
grade point average, Janet work-
ed in the fields cutting peaches,
and picking cotton and grapes to
help support five brothers and four
sisters.
Born in Melvern, Arkansas-Jan-
et has lived in Fresno 14 years, and
in 1969 came to Concentrated Em-
ployment Program in search of em-
ployment.
Since her high school graduation
from Edison, Janet Duren-near-
ing her twenty-second birthday-
had been married, divorced, at-
tended one year at Fresno City Col-
ege and raised two children with
relatively little income.
While she had received some
support since she was 18, Janet
is now eyeing the future with more
optimism.
Employed by Gottschalk's as a
file-clerk in the Accounts Payable
Department-handling invoices and
claims, Janet attributes much of
her fortune to CEP.
Janet's situation, typical of many
enrollees at CEP, is the primary
reason for CEP's existence. Aimed
at a specific poverty target area,
CEP helps find and develop jobs
for enrollees who meet certain eli-
gibility criteria.
Janet's main interest seemed to
be clerical work, but she consider-
ed Nurse's Aide Training before
finally settling on clerical training,
with help from her employability
development team at CEP. With
little real work experience, CEP
sent Janet to MTI; where she grad-
uated as a clerk-typist.
Considered "very dependable"
and "sincere" by her Job Counsel-
or, Janet's "strong motivation to
get into clerical work," finally re-
sulted in a job at Gottschalk's.
In the meantime, Janet had tak-
en advantage of CEP supportive
services. Janet's interviews were ar-
ranged by CEP and CEP transpor-
tation got her to and from them.
Babysitiing expenses were also
handled by CEP.
"I'm doing very well now." said
Janet. "I like it here at Gottschalks.
They're really nice."
With six months experience at
Gottschalks, Janet plans eventual-
ly to continue her education, nights
at Fresno City College and then
Fresno State. She plans to major in
Business Administration.
But for now the attractive, fash-
ion-conscious young mother plans
to take advantage of her own em-
ployee benefits ("discounts") to
keep "up-to-date" and, also, the
valuable work experience that is
being gained, to provide for her-
self and two children, Bart and
Tamika, in the future.
According to her supervisor, Mrs.
Marguerite Codomo, "Janet is pro-
gressing very well. We really like
her here. At first, she had a rough
time, but now she understands the
system better and is doing quite
well."

Former Fresno Boxer Kennedy
Collapses, Dies
George Kennedy, 45, former
Fresno heavyweight boxer, collaps-
ed at the Fresno Boxing Gym on
Church Avenue after sparring five
rounds and later again at his home
and was dead on arrival at the
Valley Medical Center.
Kennedy collapsed about four
minutes after the workout but re-
fused to go to a hospital. He was
taken by car to his home at 2503
S. Lilly Ave. where his wife, Jewell,
said he complained of chest pains
and collapsed again. She called an
ambulance.
Kennedy, who had been employ-
ed by the city as a refuse collector,
was managed by Pat Di Furia in
the late 1950s and early 1960s,
fighting eight pro bouts under Di
Furia and another dozen under
others.
His boxing career highlight was
an upset victory over nationally
ranked Ruben Vargas in The Fres-
no Memorial Auditorium in 1957.
"George was one of the smart-
est fighters I ever handled," Di
Furia said. "He was just too nice
a guy to be a fighter. Not a mean
streak in him."

JAILS AND PRISONS
For years people have been talking about the ineffectiveness of jails
and prisons, because they lack constructive rehabilitation programs.
Albert Willis, an ex-convict who has served time in three different pris-
ons, asked the Grapevine to publish this first-hand-experience article on
the subject with the hopes that one day someone will take some kind of
positive action toward changing the conditions.
Hybari gandi
Seeds in the form of vibrations are planted in the minds of young individuals who
are housed in prisons and jails-"County Prisons."
While these minds are in a subtle stage--soft as putty--they can be molded FOR
BETTER OR FOR WORSE. It depends on whether they receive any constructive liter-
ature, effective counseling or rehabilitative aids that are effective; or they can be
left to suffer inhumane treatment, given books titled "Guns across the West," and
isolation from their peer group intellectuals.
When we speak of community development we must, also, speak of where the
"Grass Roots Grow"-the jails and penitentiaries, because for every juvenile that
is released without guidelines, employment and social perspectives--he is capable of
corrupting (talking about crime out of the side of his mouth) the minds of many
sons and daughter's virginity.
'Till now, and since my eighteen months of incarceration-back to back, I haven't
seen, or witnessed, any effective rehabilitation mechanics working towards the "Grass
Roots Lumpen-proletariates" (common low class people). And the more our Black
Officials remain reluctant and insensitive toward the terrors of society-the more our
communities shall receive poison, i.e., drugs, maturing crime, chaos, pimping and
prostitution.
While imprisoned, THEY LEARN NOTHING MORE. You see, jails per se are
merely crime schools. Penitentiaries are crime colleges! But with a minimum of con-
structive training, while imprisoned, young minorities can come out further ahead-
not further behind. The minorities that you strive to help on the outside are not
near as detrimental to society than those who are stemming from jails-County Pris-
ons. And they are crying out for help! BUT HELP WON'T COME. Thus, they feel
rejected, downtrodden, despised, subordinated even by their own Black Brothers and
Sisters. Subsequently, they return to the ghetto with a vendetta instinct; A BITTER
PILL.
Be in the vanguard for this revolution: EFFECTIVE REHABILITATION WITHIN
THE CORE OF RACISM-county prisons.

Fresnans
Mourn
The
Death
Of
Robert
Trotter
By CHARLES MEUX
Robert Trotter, born March 27, 1948 in Fresno where he was also
raised, was first black elected official to the Fresno County Board of Education
and he was the youngest in California and the nation.
Mrs. Trotter had this to say about her son, "he was easy to get along
with, very observant and perceptive at an early age. Once he understood
something he held on to his opinion."
When he was just a little boy his parent took him to church where he
attended Sunday School and participated in many of the church programs.
Mrs. Trotter stated that, "prayers was often in the home," which
he seemed to like very much.
Robert wasn't a sports minded person he only participated when he
had to, but his best subjects were drama, music and public speaking,
while he attended school. Robert attended Kirk and Jefferson Elementary
Schools, Longfellow Jr. High, and Roosevelt High School all of Fresno.
He continued his education at Woodbury College in Los Angeles where he
was class president for two years, his major was journalism. He also attended
US International Institute in San Diego. He lived with his sister in
Los Angeles before he returned from college.
Trotter considered himself an authority on local and state politics, having
been involved with campaigns of others since he was 12. He began
his political career while he was in Junior High, he played an important
part in former Mayor Floyd Hyde campaign. The young man like political
life.
The soft-spoken Trotter indicated in an interview once, that he is convinced
the scope of an elected official depends solely on the office
holder.

J. M. Mayo, Prominent Citizen, Dies
Memorial funeral services for
Jay Maxie Mayo was held on
March 29, 1971 at the Jesse E.
Cooley, Jr. Funeral Chapel.
Mayo had lived in the Fresno
area for the past 29 years. During
this time he was very active in
many clubs, lodges, schools, and
churches. He had been employed
for the past 14 years as a deputy
sheriff for the County of Fresno.
He was a member of the San
Joaquin Lodge No. 37, and served
as the District Deputy Grandmaster
of the Central Valley. He was the
past Master of the Raisin Center
Lodge No. 5, and past Patron of
the Rising Star Chapter No. 5 O.
E. S., a member of the Fresno County
Peace Officers Assn., a member of
the 20th Century Elks Club, a mem-
ber of the Hoover High School
Boosters Club, and PTA, a mem-
ber of the Edison High School Ad-
visory Board, and PTA, and was
associated with the Carver Ele-
mentary, Irwin Elementary, and
Awanhee Schools PTA.
He was a memberof the Carter
Memorial A.M.E Church of Fresno,
and has been a former trustee of
the church.
Survivors include a wife, Mrs.
Nadine Mayo, a teacher at Lincoln
elementary School; three sons, Har-
vey, Kenneth and Larry, all of
Fresno; one daughter, Miss Sonya
Janell Mayo of Fresno; three bro-
thers, Jesse Mayo, Ernest Mayo,
both of Longview, Texas, and Cran-
ford Mayo of Boston, Mass.; three
sisters, Mrs. Bernice Wright of Long-
view, Texas, and Mrs. Blanche
connor, and Mrs. Hattie Jones of
Boston, Massachusetts.
Trotter made no prediction, he noted that as the son of a clergyman
he had met a variety of people and he was confident he could work
with people.
After being elected to office he stated, "take over the establishment
but do it legally." Trotter said he was unalterably opposed to legalizing
marijuana and urged the young people not to smoke it. He went on to
say, "I see my political activity as 'another approach to civil rights.'
Others can scream and yell about various programs, but I can vote on
these programs now. "
Robert was on the paid staff of James L. Flournoy, a Negro attorney
from Los Angeles who was the Republican candidate for secretary of
state in the November election. Trotter had said his plans were to be a
paid consultant to other candidates.
Robert Trotter was on his way to the top, he was showing what a
young black man can do, by this he was more so helping his own race.
What stopped him? Nothing but society. What crime did he commit?
None but something that people do everyday. He didn't murder anyone
or rob or steal.
Robert Trotter should be remembered, and placed in all of our minds.
He was making a dream come true "let's continue."

Fresno's
Edison High
School Has Problems
(Edison High School is located in West Fresno and has an enrollment of approxi-
mately 575 students who are predominantly Black. Approximately 500 students who
live in the Edison area are now attending other high schools under the open enroll-
ment plan.)
An administrator who is employed by the Fresno City Unified School
District recently told a group of Black parents and educators that he felt
that Edison High School's environment was detrimental to its students.
The adminisrator was speaking only as a concerned citizen and not as
an official representative for the Fresno City Unified Schools District. He
enlightened those in attendance to the many problems at Edison High.
Below are some of the problems that were discussed.
(1) Most of the top students who live in the Edison area have trans-
ferred to other schools across town.
(2) A large percentage of the remaining students at Edison are most-
ly interested in school socially and are not coming to learn aca-
demically.
(3) Over 15 per cent of the approximate 575 students are absent
each day for no reason. 19 percent on Mondays and Fridays.
(4) It usually takes the teachers ten to fifteen minutes to settle many
of the classes down in order to begin a lesson.
(5) Too many non-sudents are hanging around the school.
42
(6) There are usually two to three crap games going on daily across
the street from the school.
(7) Most of the students' parents don't paricipate in school affairs
such as the Booster's Club.
(8) Edison has no P.T.A.
(9) There are no longer any assemblies because it takes more than
twenty minutes to get the students seated and many times they
are disrespectful to the speakers and entertainers.
(l0) The average I.Q. at Edison is 79 (only 8 points over what is
normally classified as a mentally retarded person. Nationwide
I.Q. average is l00. Average I.Q. for Fresno High is 98; McLane
High l03.
(11) Because of poor game control, it has been difficult to get referees
to officiate them and teams to play Edison. (San Joaquin High
School team, which is made up of many Black players, has drop-
ped their games with Edison next year because of poor crowd
control. Several track meets have been cancelled for the same
reasons.)
(12) Edison is not only one of the most segregated schools in the coun-
try but its student body is mainly composed of Black students who
are on the lowest level of the socio-economical scale.
(13) Half of the school's student body are girls and almost one-third
or one hundred are pregnant or will be during the year.
(14) Militants; pimps; crap shooters frequent the school as do drop-
out.
The administrator also stated that Edison's teachers are well qualified
academically and most have years of experience and are comparable
with any of the teachers in the city. He said that it was becoming more
difficult to get experienced teachers and administrators to come to Edison.
Meanwhile, the State Department of Educaion and Federal Civil
Rights officers will begin an investigation to see if the Fresno City Unified
School District has failed to keep Edison on an equal basis with other
schools in Fresno. A local citizen was instrumental in getting the investi-
gation when he charged that the curriculum and program at Edison were
inferior to the district's other five high schools.
