Mr. Jenner. All right.
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. We have now reached the fall of 1949.
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir; September 1949, I decided—well, let's go back to when I went back to high school.
Mr. Jenner. All right. It is January of 1949.
Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Lee was at Ridglea.
Mr. Pic. OK. I figured since I was smart enough to decide to go back to high school and my mother tried to talk me out of it I felt it was my own doing and therefore it was my own responsibility, so I decided since that is the way she felt and that was the way I felt I would sign my own report cards and take care of my own notes and everything.
My hostility towards her increased at this time because she pushed me to work and make money, and I knew an education, as much as I could get would be the best thing for me.
Since I took on the responsibility of going back to school I figured I could take care of the rest of it and I wanted nothing from her in this regard. This I did. I signed my own report card, wrote my own notes when I played hooky and missed school.
