Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. EVANS. Well, I don't know who registered him. That I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. But he did go to school?
Mrs. EVANS. Oh, yes; he went to school.
Mr. JENNER. Which school was that?
Mrs. EVANS. That was Beauregard, and I might say that she used her
sister's address so she could get him in that school. It's a good
school, and she wanted him to go there, and also at that time I believe
she was living with her sister, so that was in that school district.
That's the way I understand it anyway. I think there has been some
confusion about that address that was given at the school, but it is
my understanding that that's why she used it. If she hadn't used her
sister's address, he couldn't have gone to Beauregard probably, I
mean, if she had moved to another district. So since she wanted him in
Beauregard, that was the easiest way to do it.
Mr. JENNER. In order to get him in Beauregard, she used her sister's
address, and that was the reason, as you understand it; is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; that was a good school. I guess it still is, but she
wanted him in there. Otherwise he would have had to go to another
school.
Mr. JENNER. That's Beauregard Junior High School; is that right?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; and, like I said, a good school; a very fine school.
Mr. JENNER. Was Lee a good student, according to information you
received in that regard, if you did receive any such information?
Mrs. EVANS. Well, I never saw his report cards, but I think he was a
pretty good student. I really couldn't tell you that.
Mr. JENNER. Did you notice during this period that you had this recent,
close acquaintanceship with him, that he was still retiring, and that
he was inclined to be by himself?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes; he liked books, and he liked music, and he would come
home from school, of course, a couple of hours before Margie, and he
would have crossword puzzles and books and music, and he seemed to
entertain himself very well.
Mr. JENNER. He didn't go out and play with the other children?
Mrs. EVANS. No; he didn't.
Mr. JENNER. Now, they had this change in 1955 from 1454 to 1452 St.
Mary. Was that in the same building?
Mrs. EVANS. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was that a different apartment, then?
Mrs. EVANS. I will tell you what happened there. There was this young
couple that wanted that apartment, and I still hear from them. She sold
them her furniture. They were the tenants after her, and she sold them
some of the things in the apartment, because at that time she told me
she was going to take this house way up on the other side of town, and
she came back the next day and told me that she changed her mind and
wanted her apartment back, but I told her that I had already rented her
apartment to this young couple. I said, "Margie, what happened to the
house you were going to get?" and she said, "I looked it over," and she
said, "It's too far from a grocery store. I have no way of getting my
groceries; too many blocks to walk, and it's too inconvenient."
