Schools To Reopen Tomorrow
Five Negroes
To Integrate
Dunn Schools
School bells will ring again to
morrow in Harnett as classes are
resumed in the county’s ten school
districts.
Harnett Supt Glenn Proffit said
today that everything is in read
iness and predicted a total enroll
ment of between 12 and 13,000 stu
dents. This is about the same as
last year.
For the first time in history. Ne
groes will integrate Dunn’s white
schools. None applied for admission
in any other district of the county.
Three will be admitted to Dunn
High School, two in the 11th grade
and one in the 12th grade, Princi
pal A. B. Johnson said today. One
will be admitted to the second
grade at Magnolia Avenue School
and one will enter the sixth grade
at Wayrie Avenue School.
Indian enrollment at Dunn
schools will also be increased from
about 30 to 60, resulting from clo

school here due to lack of suffici
ent students to keep it operating.

schools for the past three "years.
No incident* or disorder of any
kind is expected at either of the
three Dunn schools to be integraed.
It was disclosed today that three
FBI agens were in Dujjn on Fri
day when the five Negro children
registered for classes.
They were summoned by the
Rev B. B. Felder, head of the
Harnett NAACP and father of
three of the children to be admit
ted. The minister told the FBI he
had received a telephone threat
And feared there would be trou
ble.
Questioned by the FBI agents
sent here, however, he admitted
the phone call was received two or
three weeks ago, about the time
the case was being aired in Fed
eral Court, and that he had re
ceived no other indication of trou
ble.
Registration of the five Negro
children went practically unno
ticed, and officials expressed both
;j hope and confidence there would
| be no difficulty when classes be
I gin.
(Students will report at 8:20
Tuesday morning for four hours, to
receive books, classroom assign
ments. etc. The first full day of
