Mr. Oswald. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. I take it, then, that apart from the name of the school, there were orphans and young people, children such as you, whose mothers, or perhaps fathers, were unable to take care of them during the daytime completely, and the school accepted children under those circumstances.
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is my understanding.
Mr. Jenner. Therefore, it was not exclusively for orphans?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir.
Mr. Dulles. I think I have read somewhere—I would like to ask, if I may—I understand there had to be only one parent, though. I don't think if you had two parents you were eligible for this school. I don't know where I read that, but I recollect that.
Is that the case, do you remember?
Mr. Oswald. My recollection on that, sir, was that I do recall mother saying something that there was a little difficulty in placing us in there, because we were not orphans. But that they had from time to time made exceptions to this, where one parent was living and unable to attend the children fully during the day and so forth, and even at night.
Mr. Jenner. Now, you entered in 1942. Did you and John continue in this school—for what period of time?
Mr. Oswald. Until we moved to Dallas, in 1944, sir.
