The brick sign at the entrance on Price and Parkview
streets reads "Anderson Junior-Senior High School,
: Class of 1964."
Inside the building, a blue and orange bulletin board
bears the words, "Welcome to Anderson, Home of the
Bulldogs."

Of the 33 people who addressed the city-county school
board Monday night with complaints about proposed
high school district lines, only four were black and two of
those were aldermen. r
But the citizens who addressed the board were only a
handful of the people who filled the auditorium to
capacity, including those who stood in the aisles and
doorways and overflowed into the downstairs media
room of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school administrative
center. The meeting was broadcast live on
Cable Channel 2.
The major complaint from the residents concerned
where their children would be attending high school.
Parents south of Robinhood Road and near Silas Creek
Parkway requested that their children be sent to Reynolds
High School, and residents from Twin City Estates, near
the Stokes County line, asked that their children stay at

North Forsyth High School instead of being included in
the Carver High School district.
Belews Creek and Walkertown residents opposed having
their children sent to Carver High school, and
residents from British Woods, Mountain Brook and
Sandersted communities thanked the school board for
developing an alternative plan which leaves their children
at Reynolds High School.
Many others complained about where boundary lines
were drawn, split high school districts within communities
and the lack of elementary schools in
predominantly black communities.
Carolyn Ely, from a small community surrounding
Mills Creek, summed up the feelings of most people present.
"I'm in the green area and I want to be in the
orange area.'.' she said, referring to the proposed high
school district map that uses a different color to identity
each district. "They want into the North (Forsyth High
School) area and 1 want out of the North area."
