Roosevelt High School, Oakland, California, 1940
From the Photographer's notes: "The speed burner owner of a cut-down,
souped-up car, this youth is a high
school graduate who has become a hanger-on around the school premises.
He spent the entire noon hour driving rapidly and noisily around the
school. 'He went downtown this morning and said he was going to
work, but I don't see how he makes any money when he comes back at eleven
o'clock. Gee, you oughta see him burn up the corners.' -- student
bystander,
May 4, 1940."
