Fear Another

About a year ago, the Pilgrim
School was erected at a cost of $780,
600 for a Junior High School. The
Champion Avenue School and the new
Pilgrim School are in the same dis
trict Despite this fact, the School
Board has established Junior High
School work in the Champion Avenue
School and has transferred a large
number of Junior High School colored
students to it. The School Board has
also recently purchased adjacent prop
erty upon which is located the old
Union Grove Baptist Church and it is
feared by colored citizens that it is the
purpose Of the Board to erect a Senior
High School within the near future.
At the present time, this church is
being used Tor school purposes.
Repeated efforts have been made by
members OF the committee to meet the
School Board to present certain pcti-
tions drawn up by the Parents-Teach-
ers Association and the Citizens Com
mittec but the Board has deliberately
cyaded meeting this group.
At the time regularly set aside for
the Board meeting, the committee pre-
scented itself only to be told that the
Board had held a special meeting dur
ing the afternoon at which time the

been settled
