I also wanted to tell the fellas about the nice gifts I had gotten and how much stuffed turkey and apple pie I had eaten and all. It was the same every year. I guess they were just as eager to share their Christmas news—they were all there waiting at the corner of the schoolyard when I arrived. We all talked at once and no one really listened much, but I did get the feeling that they all were pretty happy with the Christmas they had just shared with their family. Willie had some other news too. Jack Berry had dropped out of school. It shouldn’t have surprised us any, and I guess that it didn’t much. I mean, Jack Berry had never been fond of school. It was his pa’s idea that he keep on going. Well, with him missing so many days before Christmas with the flu and all, I guess Jack decided he didn’t want to work so hard to catch up to the class, so he finally talked his pa into letting him quit. I wouldn’t have said so to the fellas, but I wasn’t going to do much crying over Jack being gone.
