a nothing town.... y'know' said my friend Newly.
It was hot April Saturday, Statesboro was deserted, everyone had gone up to Savanah or to Augusta for the last round of the Masters.
'Yea. I know, hand me my belt.' I was trying to get out of the sticky dorm. All the windows were open, but it still didn't help.
'I can't wait for the freedom of Freon.'
Freon? what the hell...
'Learning about in my chemistry class, it's going let air condition be less expensive and more used. Soon all the dorms and GSC will have air condition.' I tucked in my shirt and sat down to put on my shoes.
Newly laughed sarcastically. 'I'm getting out of here, Spring '51, I doubt it'll be that soon and if it is. It'll be the gal's dorm I'll bet ya'. Not us. I've been here too long'
'So have I'
He scoffed. 'Since '49?, some time. I've beenhere since the War ended. But I'm getting out. this time. Then me and Viv...'
'Don't say her name so loud. You want everyone to know about her.'
'Damn. I don't care. She's sweet on me just like I'm on her.'
'Still you know that's not proper'
'Calloway, always trying to be so proper. With your blue blood. How is it your some blue blood, but you're not at UGA or Georgia Tech.'
...Maybe someday. I'll get of statesboro.
I don't think anybody gets out of here. It'll be 19....83. We'll still be here. Old men, stuck in this wretched town!' He stood up. Damn i want to get out here!
'Calm down, New. I'm going out with Connie now. I'll be back later.'
He grabbed me by the waist and punched me. 'Don't forget the one you love!'
'nerts to you!'
