Boys' day is a very important day in the school year. Boys' day happens every
March, just before Spring Break. We celibrate boys during Boy's Day. Not all
boys are treated the same during Boys Day. Principal Andrews decides who will
stay boys and who will change to men. She uses several different things to
decide. She uses the national standards test. She uses the recommendation of
our teachers. She uses a doctor's report. Then she makes a list.

Me and Susana Washington were allowed to observe during boys' ceremony. We had
to be quiet and serious. During gym class the boys take a shower first,
instead of last. Then they line up in the gym. They are not allowed to wear
clothes, even underwear. Principal Andrews then reads the first names on her
list. Those boys are excused. Boys that are excused are very smart or very
good athletes (Go Panthers!) or both. Those boys go to the library. The other
boys get help to stay boys. Staying a boy is good. We know that before boys'
days started, there was lots of war and crimes in the world. Now it is better.
Those boys stay in the gym. Ms. Andrews calls their names one by one and they
come up to a table. They bend over the table and Nurse D'matio feels between
their legs. Boys have a scrotum. Nurse D'matio feels their scrotum to find
their cords inside. Nurse D'matio puts a small tool like a sissors against the
cords. She steps on a button on the floor and electricity burns the cords. The
cords would bring bad chemicals to the boys' bodies that should be stopped.
When Nurse D'matio pushes the button the boys jump and gasp. Some of the boys
cry and then Ms. Andrews teases them. The other boys tease them too. Because
Billy Laurens has a long scrotum and his cords were easy to find, Nurse
D'amatio let us do Billy. We both felt Billy's cords. We pushed them to the
back of his scrotum. I held them there and Susana put the zapper on them. The
zapper clamps them from both sides. When the cords were clamped I stepped on
the button. Billy jumped, and the sack rolled around and got smaller. Nurse
D'matio says that is the balls trying to get away, but they can't. We thanked
Nurse D'amatio and Billy for letting us try the zapper. When we took the
zapper away, Nurse D'amatio showed us two white spots. That is where the
electricity went through Billy's scrotum. She said Susana and I did a good
job.

After the boys' ceremony the boys put their gym clothes on. They get small ice
bags to put between their legs. They sit in the gym bleachers and Principal
Andrews told them how proud she was of them. Then they eat cake and ice cream.
Susana and I then returned to girl's gym. Later there is an assembly and
Principal Andrews and some High School students gave a presentation on how
important boys are.

In June Nurse D'amatio will come back to boy's gym and check that all the
boys' cords are burned. She said we should come back and check if Billy's
balls are still there. She showed us how Billy's balls were firm and seperate
just after we burned his cords. In June they should be mushy and mixed
together. That is the way boys' balls should be, but they need help.

Thank you Principal Andrews and Nurse D'amatio for letting us see the boys'
ceremony for our report on holidays in our country.
