Jefferson High School in Intruder in the Dust (Location)

When Gavin tells his sister that because of the possible lynching Chick won't be going to school, he refers to it as the "white school" (126). Ordinarily he'd simply have said "school," but he had just mentioned to her that there "wont be a Negro school today" for Aleck Sander (125-26). This is one of the few places where the fictions explicitly acknowledge the reality of education in the segregated world of Yoknapatawpha: Chick and Aleck Sander have grown up together as friends, but cannot attend the same school. Elsewhere in the novel the school Chick attends is referred to just as "the High School" (in reference to the baseball field, 26) or "the high school" (in reference to the football team, 121). All we know for sure about the location of this 'white' school is that it is on the other side of the Square from the Mallison house.
