P r in c ip a l �BY WILLIAM McGAFFIN l'reo Pieas-Chlcago News Service * ARLINGTON, Va. — On Feb. 2, Stratford Junior High School was ringed with police wearing helmets and armed with pistols, night­ clubs and tear gas. Then came the final crumbling of Virginia’s massive resistance laws. n v- Integration arrived for the first time in Virginia to Stratford Junior High here and six schools in Norfolk. ' SIX WEEKS LATER, the contrast is startling to a reporter who was here on that first day. r i There are no police, A reporter can walk in the door and down the‘long. corridors as in,any other school. There are no plain clothesmen lurking inside. The atmosphere seems normal. Just another school, going about its business. The police were out in force on that opening day to prevent anyone from making trouble. There was none then. (A couple of bomb scares proved to be hoaxes.) There has been none since. ’e * * v .* s * - i. - I ' >‘ \ r • * # r. # THE POLICE were taken » away completely a couple of weeks ago. There are only a few routine precau_ tions now. _ i A police p a t r o l car circles the school area in the morning as the school ? opens and in the afternoon when' it lets out. The school building is floodlit at night. • Only 10 students out of a student body of about 1,060 have left, in protest, since four Negro seventhtraders were admitted to 3 ■ : d i .'- ■ 3 : i -' �THIS IS ONLY token integration, of course, and this northern Virginia county is anything but typical of the South. There were other, more important reasons, though, / :Why, integration has been accomplished her© without/ any-ugly incidents. In the first place, as Strat“Principal Claude M. |Richmond points out, there j.was close co-operation bej tween .the /Arlington County Tmanager, the police and the iischool officials, “all d e t e r i'mined' to make integration 'work.’’ This Is not surprising In view of Virginia’s long lawabiding tradition. What is surprising is to* find a man who does not be• lleve in integration helping get it off to a smooth start. * * * HE IS Ray El.'Reid, super­ intendent of the Arlington . County School Board. He objects to integration on “scholastic grounds,” he says. “I feel that if enough Negroes are admitted into an all-white school they will pull down the educational standards of all.” But he wants the Negro children to have a “fair chance” at Stratford Junior High. To this end, he says, he Insisted that the original Tst of 80 presented for ad­ mission bo weeded down to the four who finally were accepted. These four had “high abil­ ity,” he says, and this was necessary “if they were not to get lost in their new school.” a "• * • | RICHMOND SAYS that the (four newcomers are fitting | “ in very well, and that while j. ford l two are having difficulty with j •mathematics, they are gen> f erally keeping up with theii ! classes. Reid says that Richmond i did a “superb job” of prepar­ ing both the students and teachers for the arrival of : the Negro children. * “He told the teachers that whether we, like It or not, I we’ve got Integration. So \ let’s try to live with It. And • he told the students that they ■ had a good school. Let’s keep It that way.” On R e i d ’s instructions, Richmond carefully picked teachers for the Negroes who ; had no feelings one way or another about integration. * * * RICHM OND skoW BD similar care in placing tha Negro children in two (out of twelve) seventh-grade sections where the students hava no prejudices about, integra­ tion. “Some of our s t u d e n t s went out of their way to be nice to the colored children when tlieV first arrived,” says Richmond. “Now they seem to have forgotten that there was ever a problem about this.” He thinks the fact that the Negro children were in the seventh grade helped them win acceptance among their white classmates. “This is the last grade,” he says, “where the children will ac­ cept direction.” ' * • BUT THE parents them­ selves obviously have accepted integration,, says Richmond, either because they believe in it or because they want the school to stay open. And the guide-lines of their thinking are reflected In the behavior of the children at school, he says. Now, as a reporter watches school let out, he sees the Negro children walking home just like the other students. Their parents no longer feel compelled, for safety meas­ ures, to pick them up In a car. \ j • v 1 �THE GROSSE POINTE PUBLIC SCH O O L SYSTEM GROSSE POINTE 36, MICHIGAN GROSSE POINTE HIGH SCHOOL Office of the Principal I t CROSSE POINTE BLVO A p ril 7 , 1959 Mr. Claude Richmond S t r a t f o r d J u n io r High School A rlin g to n , V ir g in ia .

Washington 20, D.C. March 2?, 1959 Principal Stratford Junior High School Arlington, Virginia Dear Sir: Enclosed is a section of the Correio da Manha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, February 6, 1959* I thought this might be of interest to you and some of the students of your school. May I first say I am not sending this to you in a critical spirit as I have much admired the way you handled the situation that has been placed in your hands. I am proud of the children that have taken the past year so beautifully in their stride. My husband is a native of Brazil and we lived there 12 years and three of ^■r'bons were born there. My husband has been a naturalized citizen for many years and has a re­ sponsible position with the U.S. government and often brings me these papers to read. When I saw this picture in the pape^, I determined to pass it along to you. I am sure that our people d not realize how the school situation of our country has been played up all over the world. The Correio da Manha is considered the best news paper in Rio and so far as I could find no comment was made on this picture other than the facts given lander the picture. However, it is very easy to imagine what other papers would do with this picture and story. I thought you might wish to use this some way in_ your school or you may destroy^it^doing with it as you see fit. With continued best wishes as you work in these critical days, Sincerely, $Mrs. Daniel do Carmo,Sr.) �Arlington, Virginia- Joan Potts, 13 years old, (right) speaking to report^before Stratford School, protesting the admission of four negro students.

SECTION 18-328 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA IS AS FOLLOWS: "Failure to take space assigned in pursuance of preceding section. Any person who fails, while in any public hall, theatre, opera house, motion picture show or place of public enter­ tainment or public assemblage, to take and occupy the seat or other space assigned to them in pursuance of the provisions of the preceding section by the manager, usher or other person in charge of such public hall, theatre, opera house, motion picture show or place of public entertainment or public assemblage or whose duty is to take up tickets or collect the admission from the guests therein, or who shall fail to obey the request of such manager, usher or other person, as aforesaid, to change his seat from time to time as occasion requires, in order that the preceding section may be complied with, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars for each offense. Further­ more such person may be ejected from such public hall, theatre, opera house, motion picture show or place of public entertainment or public assemblage, or by a police officer or any other con­ servator of the peace, and if such per­ son ejected shall have paid admission into such public hall, theatre, opera house, motion picture show or other place of public entertainment or public assemblage, he shall not be entitled to a return of any part of the same. The Attorney General of Virginia, in an opinion dated October 16, 1956, states that "It is, therefore, the duty of the local School Board as a condition pre­ cedent to granting a permit for such meetings, to require that, when such meet­ ings are attended by both white and colored persons, they shall be seated in spaces or seats designated for members of the respective races. The respon­ sibility for the designation of such spaces or seats is upon the school board that has the control of the building in which the meeting is to take place. In the event any such public assemblage is held in a building by permission of a private owner, the same responsibility rests upon such owner. Persons who attend such meetings and refuse to take the space assigned for members of their race would be subject to the enforcement provisions of Title 18 Section 328 of the Code." In accordance with the above, the Arlington County School Board hereby designates the front right hand rows of seats (as many as may be required) for members of the colored race, and the balance of the seats in the auditorium for members of the white race. Members of the respective races are required to be seated in the spaces or seats designated for them.

I imagine your correspondence is unusually high these days. It occurred to me that an encouraging note might be helpful. I cannot express to you adequately how proud I am of you, your staff and student body. I held my breath for a while yesterday, wondering just what the outcome of a new era in public school education would be. Stratford apuarently was well in hand. I am quite sj re that you are personally responsible for the fine manner in which everyone behaved yesterday. How well I remember f-I days and the many crises you were required to face...the riot that resulted in broken relations with Woodrow Wilson of Portsmouth.. the fight at Clarendon Circle which caused broken relations with the Bistrict Schools. It could be said that your experience at W-L prepared you for your present position as no other school administrator in the system. The last time we had a chance to exchange greetings I was in the office at W-L getting a transcript to be sent to Bavidson where I was to begin preparation for the ministry. I remember your commenting at that time that you thought I'd be a politician, not a clergy­ men. Little did either of us think at that time that in reality You would be the one to figure prominently in the political arena, enmeshed, as it were through the unpredictable outworkings of history. You should know that you have been the subject of prayer­ ful concern and that we will continue to remember you, your students and faculty in our petitions.

I always enjoy hearing from the Washington Lee students but none quite as much as those who took such an active part in the affairs of Washington Lee in their day. I may have told you that when I entered William and Mary in 1920, I was seriously planning to follow the work that you have undertaken. I do pray that you will accomplish many of the fine things that you are undertaking and planning which the world needs so desperately. I received many interesting pieces of mail on the occasion of Stratford*s desegregation. Some have praised us*and thank us. Others have suggested ways to male the negroes go back to the negro schools. From what I know about our own church, which has its headquarters in Richmond, you no doubt are hav­ ing to walk carefully with your people. I do hope that I shall have the opportunity of see­ ing you sometime and talking over old times and n*W times.

I do appreciate your thought­ fulness and understanding, I have enjoyed sharing your letter with some of our mutual friends. So far we have had no problem of any significance due to the entrance of the three little lefthanded negro boys and the one negro girl. We placed two of the children in one of the twelve seventh grade sections and two in another. Our parents, our pupils and our faculty have been wonderfully cooperative. With these advantages and the excellent assistance from the police de­ partment under the leadership of A1 hundberg and Mr» Reid, we are able to Say at this date - so far, so good. We have missed you and hope that you will continue to enjoy your work in Radnor. Thank you for your Christmas card. wishes to you and your family.
