MORE STORIES WHILE IN MERCED...
IT SEEMS THAT WE LIVED IN A SMALL CABIN ABOUT THREE BLOCKS FROM SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL WAS NAMED GALEN CLARK.WE WERE VERY POOR WHEN WE FIRST GOT TO MERCED FROM ARIZONA. ONE DAY I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH BUDDIE TO VISIT. WE HAD A RECESS AND WENT BACK INTO THE CLASS ROOM.
BUDDIE HAD TO WRITE THE ALPHABET ON THE BLACK BOARD AND HE WAS WAITING FOR THE TEACHER TO SEE AND GRADE IT.
WELL I HELPED ALL COULD. WHEN I FIGURED HE WAS THROUGH,I QUIETLY(I WAS WARNED TO BE VERY QUIET) GOT UP AND WAS BUSILY ERASING HIS LETTERS FROM THE BOARD,WHEN I WAS CAUGHT.
THAT ANGRY TEACHER SENT A NOTE HOME WITH BUDDY AND SAID I WAS TO YOUNG TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SCHOOL STARTED AGAIN. THAT MADE ME SEVEN. MOM WAS UPSET BUT THERE WASN'T ANY THING SHE COULD DO.
NEXT TIME IS WHEN I START TO SCHOOL,------- UNLESS SOMETHING ELSE GETS IN MY THOUGHTS BEFORE THEN.

That's the school I started in. I started in the first grade when I turned 5 in January, the second half of the school year. I was five when I started the second grade.
