Citizens Seek
Removal Of
G. C. Hawley
CREEDMOOR — More than 100
parents of this rural community
got what they believed to be a
sympathetic ear from the Gran
ville board of education Monday
when they presented their case
against Hawley high school prin
cipal G. C. Hawley.
A spokesman for the South
Granville Improvement Associa
tion, an organizaKon which is
asking for Hawley's removal as
principal and several other
changes at the school, was opti
mistic over the reception given
the Association's case by the
school board.
“They listened attentively and
at least seemed to be interested.”
Mrs. E. B. Green, secretary of
the group sai.i.
Although the board made no
recommendetions, the board chair
man promised the group at the
end of the meeting that the board
would di.scuss the issup and try
to give the association's request
some consideration.
The optimism evier 'luesday's
meeting stemmed largely from
the fact that this was the first
time that the organization has
been able to get a hearing from
any official body in Granville
county on its proposals.
It has been trying since late
April to get its case heard.

NAACP Convention Spotlight

light here this week with young
NAACP freedom fighters from
across the land during youth night
of the Association’s 51st annual
convention.
It closed here last week with
500 youth delegates in attendance.
Citing student protest leaders,
McPhatter said, "the NAACP is
proud of the young people who,
rather than continue to endure
the humiliation of Jim Crew, are
willing fo risk verbal abuse,
physical assault, expulsion from
school and imprisonment ki
Dixie dungeons.
“The NAACP hails the yoUng
white students who, rejecting ‘.heir
heritage of racial prejudice, have
stood shoulder to shoulder with
Afro-American youth in this ir-
resistable crusade,” continued Mc
Phatter, a life member of the As
sociation and a long-time NAACP
supporter.
Timothy Jenkins, president of
the Howard University student
body and vice president of the
University's NAACP chapter, pre
sided over the youth program, Fri
