What's this?

You youngsters. i remember the wrestling room in the basement of

old war memorial. mats wrapped around the pillars holding up the building so as not to get killed. to lose wt, we had a mattress in the small furnace room, we would go in there and lay and bs with each other. the room had a very odd odor about it. we wrestled in the "gym". might be able to pack 1,000 but probably not. we did fill it most of the time. we had 5200 students (100) ladies. not much else to do in the winter. wrestled 9 min. 3 min each period.
