Harry the drummer

(1980 memoirs)
Before I leave off telling you about boys I knew at school, I'll have to tell you about one more, Harry.  He was a small person, a drummer in a school band that played in the gym at least once a week for after-supper dances.  I would walk back to school alone after supper and sit out quite a bit as he was busy.  Sometimes he'd get someone to play for him and we'd dance.  I never really cared for him very much, to tell the truth.
