As per cent. She said she did
not yet know the proportion this

ties differed from the testimony
of several other principals who
have appeared before the House
group. She said her school is
still controlled" and that be-
havior problems have not, for
the most part. caused her to call
for the help of police.
One exception, she said, was
an incident this week. in which
an l1th-grade white youth was
set upon on the school grounds
after school hours by three col
ored boys. who demanded a dime.
The youths lip was cut open

Behavior Problems

with the arrival of the colored

She said there were frequent

thence to teachers and belliger-
ence on the part of the new
corners.
i"Some are small things" she
said in answer to an inquiry
from Representative Williams as
to the ways in which belliger-
ence showed itself.
"A Negro girl will stand in
the aisle and dare white girl
to pass her." she said.
She said the school had an
unprecedented number of OBJ
scene words and pictures on
walls. She also reported spit
ting, thefts of food in the
cafeteria and loss and wear
and tear on books. She pointed
out the building is also used as
a night and summer school and
recreation center. however.
Two custodians were assigned
to guard against the lunchroom
thefts, she said. Indecent re-
marks made at girl cheerleaders
at games-plus a fight incident
between team members at a
basketball game - caused a
change to boy cheerleaders.
Dances Dropped
Mrs. Wells said she dropped
all school dances and dramatics
when indignation began. Even
last years all-white graduating

step possible to avoid trouble, !"
she explained.
The Roosevelt principal said
what disturbed her most, how
