going with Sally Mae Jones and
her sister, who was known as

passed me a note in school
saying she was going to the
game. .Weill, of course I had to
go. . .Even took ? bath in a
jfishpond. .When I got to the
gym. there she sat with the
joites. ? . 1 went over and got
myself a seat beside her and we
held hands and looked at each
other for most of the ballgame .
?(A wonderful night. 1 thought.- ...
.But it seems Mr. Jones, on the.
way home after the game, was
talking about the game, and
