"I saw the grade adviser today. He said I should switch back to the commercial program. " Clyde looked like he’d start crying any minute. His eyes were red and his voice was shaky. "He said that I had to take mathematics over and if I failed again or failed another required subject 1 couldn’t graduate. The way it is now I’m going to have to finish up in the summer because I switched over. "
"I think you can pass it if you really want to," Kitty said. Clyde’s sister was so pretty I couldn’t even look at her. If I did, I started feeling funny and couldn’t talk right. Sometimes I daydreamed about marrying her.
Just then Clyde’s mother came in and he gave a quick look at Kitty.
"Hi, young ladies and young gentlemen. " Mrs. Jones was a kind of heavy woman but she was pretty, too. You could tell she was Kitty’s mother if you looked close. She put her packagege down and started taking things out. "I heard you pcople talking whcas I first came in. By the way you hushed up I guess you don’t want me to hear what you were talking about. I’ll be out of your way in a minute, soon as I put the frozen foods in the refrigerator. "
"I got my report card today," Clyde said. His mother stopped taking
the food out and turned toward us. Clyde pushed the report card about two inches toward her. She really didn’t even have to look at the card to know that it was bad. She could have told that just by looking at Clyde. But she picked it up and looked’ at it a long time. First she looked at one side and then the other and then back at t.he first side again.
"What they say around the school?" she asked, still looking at the card. "They said I should drop the academic course and go back to the other one. " I could hardly hear Clyde , he spoke so low.
"Well, what are you going to do, young man She looked u at Clyde and Clyde looked up at her and there were tears in his eyes and I almost started crying. I can’t stand to see my friends cry. "What are you going to do, Mr. Jones?"
"I’m -I’m going to keep the academic course," Clyde said.
"You think it’s going to be any easier this time?" Mrs.Jones asked.
"No. "
"Things ain’t always easy. Lord knows that things ain’t always easy. " For a minute there was a faraway look in her eyes, but then her face turned into a big smile. "You’re just like your father, boy. That man never would give up on anything he really wanted. Did I ever tell you the time he was trying to learn to play the trombone?"
"No. "Clyde still had tears in his eyes but he was smiling, too. Suddenly everybody was happy. It was like seeing a rainbow when it was still raining.
