Why l Like My School By Charles Spencer, 53 I lilfe Woodbury High School because I came here Trom a school in The SouTh which had only my race in iT. This was good To a cerTain exTenT, buT iT lcepT us Trom becoming acguainTed wiTh Those oT oTher races. I Teel we could have been much more Triendly Than we were. Hardly a day wenT pasT ThaT There was noT a rioT lon a small scalel wiTh The whiTe kids. IT wasn'T Their sTarTing everyTime, buT iusT The same we were aTraid To go on The sTreeT To school, excepT wiTh a gang. For my own parT, I had been broughT up To believe ThaT everyone was my broTher. This, in These hard Times, had been hard To believe: I had yearned Tor a chance To disprove ThaT sTaTemenT ThaT wenT around: All Jays are The same. lJays are whaT Negroes were called down Therel. We would sTarT home, Tor I lived in The counTry, and The whiTe children would be shouTing, k WET has always an answer ready! The oraToricaI conTesTanTs Tor This year are, s+anding, leff To righf, Alice Simon, Roseanne McDonald, Ca+herine Waelde, and Jack Villanueva. SeaTed, Ieff To righT, are Joyce Wernfz, Ann Snyder, and Ramon Guevarra. ConTesTanTs musf give a prepared speech of Ten To Twelve minuTes and a Tour- To six-minuTe exdemporaneous speech. You black Niggers! BeTTer noT be caughT on This side alonell This puT in my mind ThaT all people iusT haTed Negroes Tor no reason excepT color. And so when I came To Woodbury High School, iT Turned my original Theory baclc inTo my mind. IT Turned ouT all my buiIT-up haTe. I can only say ThaT I hope iT will conTinue, as now Woodbury High has been my ideal school and I have had no Trouble whaTsoever, besides minor incidenTs ThaT did noT scraTch my mind. For here I am equal To any oTher person. Here I have learned ThaT, To geT along TogeTher, we musT cooperaTe, and I have learned ThaT everyones your Triend if you wanT him To be. ,F The All-Sfafe Chorus members lor I95I-'52 are, IeTT To righT, Charles E.
