Carlotta Walls

Fifteen-year-old Carlotta was the baby of the group attending Central high School. A tall, thin youngster, inclined to be a bit of a tomboy, she still seems not to have grown accustomed to the length of her arms or legs. Sitting still in one place for more than a few minutes at a time is difficult for her. It's a boundless energy and a sense of warmth that has her wanting to be everyplace at once so that she won't miss anything. Carlotta had always wanted to go to Central as soon as she knew what integration meant. She wants a good education and a chance to be treated just like anybody else.
