Page "Walt Disney" Paragraph 9

In 1917, Elias acquired shares in the O-Zell jelly factory in Chicago and moved his family back to the city, where in the fall Disney began his freshman year at McKinley High School and took night courses at the Chicago Art Institute.

He became the cartoonist for the school newspaper, drawing patriotic topics and focusing on World War I.

Despite dropping out of high school at the age of sixteen to join the army, Disney was rejected for being underage.
