Mckinley School
Decides Not 70 Hold
Christmas Dance

A decision has been reached
to hold no Christmas dance this
year at the desegregated McKin-
ley High School, because the
time is not yet ripe, DR.. Charles
Bish. principal, said today.
After a series of discussions
with student council representa-
tives and parents. DR.. Bish said
it was decided the first dance
will be the senior prom, a dress
affair at the Shoreham Hotel
next month. There are no Negro
students in the senior class.
DR.. BiSh said he feels a great
deal of education needs to be
done before holding a dance
which both white and colored
students will attend, because of
many facets of the problem.
He said he held conferences both
with white and colored parents
and generally, after full discus
sion, they were reluctant to hold
q dance which members Of both
races would attend.
The principal pointed out that
the community attitudes must be
taken into consideration, mas
much as all the taxpayers sup
port the public eschools. He
said he feels it is better to work
into the problem gradually, with
out emotion and on a factual
basis.
Generally, DR.. Bish said, the
students accepted the decision
after frank discussion. He de-
clared he thought it better to
start with a formal dance. After
the students become better ad-
justed and the authorities come
to know the students better, a
dance which both races can at
tend can be held. he explained.
Because the Christmas dance
was not planned as a formal af-
fair. it did pose some problems,
he declared.

The biggest thrill came toward

pretty as could be expected on a
night of subfreezing temperatures.
Led by Edgar Bergen-without
Charlie McCarthy-the parade
moved along brightly lighted
Wisconsin avenue. Marchers and
watchers seemed to be having a
good time.
Among the % floats was one OF

stitution, first of its. kind In

ton. as a place Of hope"
Place of Refuge.
Oppenheimer said Patuxent
was established so that prisoners
with mental and emotional de-
fects can be. treated and kept
away from more normal inmates
in regular prisons.
He noted that Patuxent's most
important function will be as a
diagnostic center for the use OF
the courts of Maryland. If there
is doubt about a convicted mans
mental and emotional makeup,
he may be sent to Patuxent for
diagnosis.
If defects are found. the pris-
oner may be returned to the
courtroom to face charges as q
defective delinquent. i" If con-
victed, the defendant then will
be sentenced to Patuxent for an
indeterminate length of time.
Harold e. Donnell, State
superintendent of prisons, said
selected prisoners in other State
institutions will be transferred
here for treatment in the next
few weeks.
Two Wings Completed.
He said the courts could begin
sending prisoners to Patuxent
for treatment and diagnosis
soon after the first of the year.
Third and fourth wings of the
hospital have been completed
but will not be opened until
Patuxent's inmates total 200.
Gov. McKeldin, who also
spoke at the dedication cere-
monies, said he hoped the in.
stitution not only would bring
early help to its inmates but
would be a place where new
methods could be developed to
deal with criminals.
