Glasses Packed
In Alexandra
By PAUL HOPE

Alexandria will be able to
avoid double sessions in its
schools again this year but some
of its elementary schools will be
extremely overcrowded.
City schools will open on Sep
TENDER 10 with an estimated en-
rollment of nearly $4,000. The
enrolment at the end of the
1856 session was 1880.
For the f1rst time in many
years. George Washington High
School will be operating at nor
NAL capacity. The city's new 81
million Hammond High School
in the annexed area will open
and relieve the load at George
Washington.
Last year George Washington
High had an enrolment Of more
than 1000 in a building designed
for about 1900.
High school enrolment, includ-
ing the eighth grade, will jump
about 500 this year. Last year
the enrolment was about 5000.
The overcrowding will be
more acute in the colored ele-
mentary schools.
Both of the city's colored ele-
mentary schools will have more
students than they can properly
handle and the overflow viii be
housed elsewhere.
Glasses at both schools are ex-
pected to be large. Some of
them numbered more than 40
last year, and prospects are
about the same this year. Alex
andria's colored school popula-
ton is expected to be around
900 this year.
Plans are in the works for
new building to replace the
Lyles-Crouch School and for an
eight-room addition at Charles
Houston, the two colored schools.
Supt. T. c. Williams said that
the integration issue will have no
effect on the school boards
building plans for colored
schools. He said the clasSrooms
will be needed in those sections
of the city whether schools are
segregated or integrated.
Parker-Gray High School for
colored students will be below
capacity this year, Mr.. Williams
said.

On the brighter side will be
the opening of two new schools,
a comparatively low pupil
teacher ratio. and fine text
books in all grades.
A record enrolment of 22,475,
representing five per cent in
crease over the past year. is
expected.
On the racial aspect, Alex
andria Federal Court Judge
Albert v. Bryan has ordered an
END to segregation in the ele-
lmentary schools by next Janu-
airy 81.
Decision Appealed
The school board has appealed
this decision, which also calls for
desegfation in the secondary
schools by the following Septem-
Der.
Because of overcrowding, about
| 900 primary grade children will
attend half day classes. There
were no double sessions in the
county last year.
The defeat last February of a
$9.4 million referendum for
school construction eliminated
all hope of avoiding makeshift
classroom arrangements to house
the expected enrolment increase
Less than four months later a
$4.5 million bond issue for class
room construction won approval
by the voters. However, school,
officials are currently unable to
