[Vision2020] CORRECTION #2 message from Roberta Radavich

[Brent Bradberry]

Here is a little historical perspective re: closed campuses. I attended 
high school in Los Angeles (actually, Lynwood) when Lynwood High had an 
open campus. I remember when the campus was closed - it was 1954 or '55, 
during my junior year. We students were so upset that we protested about 
being treated like animals in a zoo. However, after the fence went up 
(and yes, I believe it was an 8-ft chain link fence), the only change 
that affected me was that we had to enter and leave campus through the 
gates, rather than by blazing our own trails through the grass and 
shrubbery. I don't remember the gates ever being locked, or even closed 
- and we certainly had no guards. One other benefit which must have 
delighted the groundskeepers was that the fence ended the practice of 
some of the young hot-rodders of "cutting brodies" on the lawn with 
their little deuce coupes.
