sueeesful In their undertaking, but
they also find that many of the
students who were assigned to such
school have decided they want to
remain where they ore.
The recent court order made it
possible tor 18 students to transfer
and the City School Board certified
such transfers. Only 6 of the 183
transfers Tuesday morning.
Some of the students, however,
said that they would transfer at
the beginning of the 1063-64 school
year.
In the case pertaining to the 48
plaintiffs, there will be 10 of the
Negro transfer pupils moving into
Durham High School. Fourteen
will go to Carr Junior High and
eight to Holton Junior High.
In one of the new cases, a fami
