At the beginning of the 1951-’52 Montebello Junior High School year, two new girls transferred to MJH (9th grade) from an ELA/Boyle Heights school…The girls were both beautiful. Soon Frankie Cruz, a guy from Simons, started hitting on one of the girls, and she didn’t fight back; in other words, she liked it. But there was a problem, she had a boyfriend from Varrio Nuevo (Estrada Courts, Boyle Heights), and the boyfriend was always there waiting for the girl to leave school. One day when Frankie and the girl walked out of the school together, the boyfriend approached them and had words with both of them…He told Frankie he would wait for him the following day at Montebello Park to settle things…Word spread around the school like a burning fire “big fight at the park” was the word being spread around the school. On the day of the fight, everybody asked, “are you going to the big fight after school in the park?” When the final school bell rang, everybody ran to the park for the big fight. The big fight was not such a “big fight,” as Frankie quickly beat the crap out of the boyfriend. And so it was!
