Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carolina Magazine, Vol. 69: October, 1939 T was cold, the way it gets in late October, and we were waiting after school to practice a play we were going to give for the parent-teach ers meeting. The high school students had to practice first, though, and we were waiting out on the frozen playground. It was about four o'clock, and everything had a sort of hazy winter look. The wind was making the long steel chains on the swings and giant strides clang all out of tune. Mr. Adams, who lived two doors from the school, was burning leaves in his back yard, and the smoke smell had settled on the school grounds, and this and the red dust raised by the school buses when they left made the wide bare yard look lone some and sort of far-off. Ann and Connie and I were talking about Tess. She hadn't come to school that day, and we didn't know what we'd do about the class party. When Tess wasn't there, Ann was the leader in the crowd. Connie was Ann's staunch ally and I was always too timid to vouch safe any opinion at all. Billy, Frank, Rob and Harry were trying to fix Billy's bicycle. Some thing was wrong with the chain, and they weren't paying much attention to us, just putting in a word now and then to show they were listening. Ann was talking. I don't know what to do. Tess is the best one we've got in the class, and if she can't come, we might as well give up the whole idea. We all felt the same way. We had been together since our nurses used to roll us in baby carriages to the college campus, and couldn't imagine doing something without all of us being in it together.
