every leaf on it turned
black and died. Many of the

 City officials declared holiday following the news, and several business firms followed suit Peo- pie began congregating. Backs were slapped and there was much harldshaking. Such expressions as wonderful" great" hard to realize" were heard. Clergymen, business workers, city officials, passersby on the street were can vassed, and their expressions were mainly of satisfaction and jubila- tion. Firecrackers were shot off despite city ordinance against them. @
 The Kodiak Investors Club gain ed sanction of officials and shot off 49 firecrackers, and few more for good measure. Cars and crowds poured into the Marine Way area facing the small boat harbor to- watch the fireworks at 5 pm.

Minnie Jean Brown, Is, one of

expelled from Central High

There was also this follow-up
item picked up by Ted Poston, a
staff writer on The New York
Post:
"Sainmie Dean Parker, II, a
young segregationist, passed signs
out to white students at the high
school which read:
One down, eight to GO"
Parker was suspended for three
days, Minnie Jean, who fought
back when she was attacked by
young hoodlums and talked
back" to a white girl who had
cursed at her and hit her on the
read with pocketbook, was per-
manently suspended.

that the remaining eight Negro

don't look forward to what the
