MORGAN. Ca. Sept. 6 R.--
The Calhoun County School
Board planned an emergency
meeting today to try to settle a
school consolidation feud which
caused parents and pupils to set
lup their own classes at two high
schools yesterday.
Labor Day demonstrations
were held at Edison and Airing
ton high schools against merger
of the two schools into a county
consolidated high at rival Nor
gan. the county seat.
Volunteer principals were
named at both places; at Edison,
members Of the PARENT Teacher
Association said they would
teach the classes If necessary.
County School Superintendent
H. D. Harrison called the board
meeting and said he understood
the meetings at Edison and Ar
lington were more in the nature
!of pep meetings than anything
else"
He said he didn't believe the
volunteers were qualified as
either principals or teachers,
but If they wanted to start classes
on their own he didn't think the
board would interfere.
The superintendent said he
believed the way would be clear
to start high school classes by
Wednesday of next week. The
elementary schools, he said. win
open Monday.
At Edison Police Chief w. B.
Lawrence said about 1000 per-
sons milled around the high
school during the demonstra-
ton. Leaders finally broke a
door lock. entered and elected
Dan w. Hammack, minority
county School Board member,

ton the Rev. T. L. Mcconnell

named acting principal.
