Bat I Jmow I have to do it. it s got to he done." By MICHAEL DELANCY McKIKLEY Written lor UPI New Orleans-iBFE-The way I feel about going io William Frantz school, I know I had rather go to Frantz school than to any other school in New Orleans. I like to go to Frantz school because it's clean, the teach ers and pupils are so nice. Most of Use people are nice. Sometimes pupils at Frante school have called me names and have done many more unruly things but I still like it. The pupils I'm talking about here are the people who stand out in the crowd. They used to go to school with me before this integration busi ness started. Most o them are out Were with their mothers, but there are some kids alone. When peopie take their children out of school they holler "yea." But they boo and throw rotten eggs at us because we go to schooi. Woman Throws Egg Of course, we have had one egg thrown at us. I don't want to put fee name of the lady whose car we were in. We were driving along by the corner of the schooi and lady comes up real close to the car and throws an egg. It hit the side of the car but it didn't hit any of us, I think that was Wednesday, Some of the children that yell at me now used to be my friends. I don't feel good at all about it. I think that I'm right and they're wrong, Sometimes I feel like 1 don't want to go back to Frantz. but most of. the lime I feel I do want to go to Frantz. After they throw eggs and yeil at me I feel like I don't want to go back, but after I think about it I don't feel to bad about it, - I think I know what they're throwing the eggs and stuff for. Because they just think I'm going to school for the sake of going with colored people-or the niggers, as they'd say. I'm going to school to get a good education, I've seen iittie Ruby before in school, but I haven't talked to her. I don't think I'd know her by sight if she were stand ing out on the street. Doesn't Mind Integration It doesn't bother me to go to school with a colored child. Before integration business started, my sister and I and the children who live upstairs from us would walk to school together and they didn't both er us. Now we smuggle up into a car and secretly drive to schooi. We get up there and a crab by old policeman would slop us and say "you have got to go that way, lady." My mother would say "We're taking our children to schooi. And we would like to go this way." Then we'd drive on a iittie ways, and another policeman would stop us, and say You can t go this way." She says "We're taking our children to school." And he savs "Go on." And that's about it until we eel to school, and then we just get out of the car and wai t in. Tney don t ao any thing to us now. They don't even holler boo. Of course photographers take pictures and everything, - Some o them aren't pho tographers. They just come out there to take pictures and look at them. When we get into the schooi the marshal comes up and greets us. He says "four more," or how many of there are, to Miss Dunn. Miss Dunn says wait by the door of her room because she wants the grades that we are in, and puts it on the board We get in there and we draw pictures while they are waiting to see if any more children come. Only PupH in Claw Then Mrs. Guenther, my teacher, comes in and gets me. Then we go up to the room and start with arith metic. There are no other children in the room with me. We do arithmetic for about an hour, then we go to spell ing. Then we do English, then geography. Since this integra tion business started we haven't had history. After English we go to lunch. Ail of us sit together during lunch hour. Then we go to the basement and play bowling, bouncing the ball, and dodgeball, and sometimes we play other games like Monopoly. Ruby often comes down and stands there with the marshal. She hardly ever plays with us because she is seared and timid. H feels sort of funny to have such an empty school. Even though it is a lot of fun. It feels funny because there are echoes and not so much talk. It's fun, though because regularly we usually play outside but since integration business has started we get to play different ways. Not Much Fun It is okay to be the only child in the room, but it isn't so much fun there's nobody to talk to but the teacher. The teacher hardly ever talks to me unless we're taking timetable tests or something like that, I like Mrs. Guen ther because she is so nice and she takes a lot of time with me because I'm the only student in the room. When school is out, we get; Operation Jingle Bells To Reunite Mother, Son San Franeiseo-IW-An airman confined to Letterman Hos pital in a body cast will spend Christmas with his mother thanks to Operation Jingle Belts.
