East Siders Eavor New High School Eor Their Section
Mrs. Minnie Cabbell, Parent “It is very apparent that an Eastside high school is needed to accommodate the students here on the East-side. We realize that one high school is not sufficient for the Negro.citizens here in the city of Indianapolis.” John Gay, Musician “We need an East-side high school out here. In the beginning there was not enough consideration given our present high school. I mean by that in regard to equipment. Now is the time to demand a high school that is equipped to take care of our present students and those in the future, students who will attend high school.” Mrs. Inez Carter “There are enough students here on the East side at the present time to support an East-side high school. This would relieve the crowded conditions that are verv apparent at the present time. In a few years there will possibly be fifteen hundred students to attend some high school from this section of the city.” Mrs. Marie Bledsoe, Parent “As a parent and member of the East-side community I can readily see the urgent need for an East-side high school for the benefit of the present and future students.” Mrs. Mary Holt, Housewife “An East-side high school has been needed since the present one was built. As an East-sider I can readily see how badly one is needed at the present
time.” •
Mrs. Jtfary Jones, Parent and Vice-Precinct Committee-woman “As a parent and member of- the East-side community I can see the need of an East-side high school and the advantage it would offer high school students of this community.” Mrs. Hazel Floyd, Parertt “As a parent and member of the East-side community I am whole-heart-edly for an East-side high school and other things for the betterment of the East side/ Mr. and Mrs. Sweatt, Parents “We, as parents and members of the East>side community, think that an East-aide high school is very important and necessary to the East-side students arid parents.” Samuel Johnson, Parent “There are 71 per cent of the colored people who live on the East side. It is very important that the East side should have an East-side high school. As a <^tizen, I don’t favor an annex to Attucks high school as it would be quite unfair to the East side students to be forced to attend a school across town when they merit one in their own vi-
cinity.”
Mrs. Galena Core, Parent and Active Civic
Worker
“We have been trying hard to get a high school on the East side. I have been, and will continue doing all on my part to' secure a school on the East side. There are quite a few children who are desirous of attending high school, but owing to distance and time, most of them are unable to attend.” W. T. Jones, Hod Carrier “I am very much in favor of an East aide high school. The present high school causes great inconveniences to the students attending in bad weather from the East side. Whereas if we had a high school, many would attend who are at present not attending any
school.”
Mrs. Charles E. Lyles, Parent “I am in favor of an East side high school for the benefit of our community as a whole. I could doubly appreciate this fact as I have children, who have attended high schools here in the city and one whom is now attending.” Miss Berniece Anthony, Former Student “It is apparent that in the next few years there will be the necessity of having an East side high school. The conditions that prevail at the present time with our local high school merits more than an addition to the present
school.”
Milton Jackson, Business Man “They do need an East side high school as the population is growing out here in this community. Though I am not a parent, I can readily see the benefits of an East side high school would offer the East side community as a
whole.”
Wm. Moore, Barber “Attucks high school at the present time is over-crowded. Money can be no object when conditions merit adequate school facilities. The East side needs a high school and we who are in this community can readily see the benefits in heklth conditions alone that menace a crowded school condition.” Mrs. Viola Banks, Housewife “We realize that Attucks high school is too small for the student body who attend. An East side high school would relieve the situation to a great extent ”
Mrs. G. B. Hill, Housewife “An East side high school would mean quite a lot to the parents, students, and to the members of this community as a whole. If conditions warrant a change in the various other high schools, let our own conditions also warrant a change.” Mrs. Leota Skaggs, Housewife “We do know that of all the Negro children here in the city, it is a physical impossibility for all of them to attend one high school. It would be very nice to know we had an adequate school building for our Negro children here on the East side.” Mrs. Marion Caldwell, Housewife “The East side is one of the fastest growing communities and we merit a high school in this vicinity. Since we do have a colored high school, we should have enough schodls to accommodate the students in the various Darts of the city.” Mrs. E. D. Moten, Parent and Member of the Committee of Management Y. W. C.
A.
“Over a period of years an East-side high school will be of permanent value to the city of Indianapolis and East side students, more so than placing an addition to Attucks.” Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hoke “We are very much in favor of an East side high school as we realize the importance of it in regard to the crowded conditions that now prevail. We have had children attending out of our home high schools here in the city.” Mrs. Nellie Yoeree Prant “An East side high school is one of the finest community programs that could be advanced at the present time.” Mrs. Lucille Brown Cole, Housewife —_“I am greatly in favor of an East side high school. I want a high school that is worthwhile for both in the course of study, and a real high school building, not an inadequate place like Attucks.” Walter Watkins, Former Student “An East side high school is something that is apparently needed very badly for the East side community. As a former student I can appreciate the urgent need to accommodate the overcrowded condition that now exists at Attucks high school.” Mrs. Susie Nelson, Parent As a parent and member of the East < side community, I heartily endorse an East high school as a much needed improvement for the educational opportunities.” Samuel Collins, Custodian, Douglas Park “An East side high school would be very beneficial to the East side community as a whole, as an annex to the only high school would only serve to relieve the situation temporarily.” Edward L. DeJernett, Business Man “I think by having an East side high school it would prove very beneficial to the parents and students and serve the community and higher educational ideals. It would also prove a saving to the city’s financial department over a period of time.” Mrs. Gu^tava Emerson, Housewife “We as members of the East side community do merit and need an East side high school for our Negro students and at this time it is the best time to relieve the crowded situation that now exists.” Wilson Green, Interior Decorator “The least that I can say is that an East side high school is very much needed in this community and at this time I am pledging anything that is humanly possible to gain such an object.” Mrs B. O. Jackson, Church Worker ‘‘For the betterment of the new high in the plane of learning, it is clear that we need a new high school in this community and now is the time for us to demand such for the colored youth of the East side.”
Mrs. Emma T. Brown, Housewife “Owing to the crowded condition that now exists at our present high school I think it is very necessary that we have an East side high school. There are many students who live on the East side, and for the benefit of future high school students, it is urgent that school facilities be of such to insure them a complete education and in the final analysis the School Board does owe us
some consideration.”
. Alien Crosby, Drug Clerk “Evidently at the present time an East side high school is the only measure that will serve to relieve the crowded condition that exists at Attucks. Now is the time for the School Board to make a decided change/ %
Fred Stone, Plasterer
“I can see vast reasons that we as a fast growing community will in the next few years need an East side high school. For the benefit of future students here on the East side now is the time that preparation for such an institution should gather momentum,”
Mrs. Luther Freeman, Parent “I have always maintained that we needed an East side high school. The crowded condition that prevails at the present and the distances students must go is quite unfair. The only solution is a high school on the East side for Negro children. Mrs. Sallie Watkins, Parent “We need an East side high school for our children to gain a complete high school education. It is hardly conceivable that a child in order to receive a high school education must attend a school miles away. The School Board knows this to be a fact. So why don’t they give us consideration for some of the things we desire?” Mrs. William Milliken, Housewife “For the number of children who live on the East side I really think that an East side high school is the oqly answer to the crowded condition that now prevails at Attucks. As a taxpayer and member of the East side community it is our civic duty to demand adequate school facilities.” Mrs. Ethel Combs, Parent “I have one child to enter high school next fall and one the following year. It is very absurd to know that children who attend high school must go possibly ten miles to and from school. So why should not the School Board give us an East side high school for our community ?” Colbert Davis, Hod Carrier “As a member of the East side community I am at a loss to understand why a child in order to receive a high school education must go many miles to gain such. We as a community need an East side high school.” Mrs. Lela Marrs, Parent “As a parent and member of the East side community I know that for a child to attend high school it is unfair to the child itself and home also to compel it to travel a long distance to and from school simply because some folk want colored people segregated. Give 4is a high school here on the East side so our children may receive the advantages of school facilities that other children receive here in the city.” Mrs. Veda Crombaugh, Parent “At the present time, I have two children attending high school and one who will enroll in the near future. It is very evident that Attucks is too crowded for a child to receive the proper attention, so therefore the School Board should give us ? an East side high school
for our community.” Mrs. Cordelia Watson, Church Worker “In regard to the proposed East side high school, as a member of the East side community and church worker I can see the urgent need for an East side high school. It is no more than our Christian duty to our own local community, to demand from the School Board such a project.” Mrs. Anna Edwards, Parent “Though I never had the opportunity to attend school, I can see by experiences, that what the East side community needs is an East side high school for the advantages it would offer our children. Surely money can be no object to the School Board when we consider an East side high school. Mrs. Mary Miller, Parent “At the present time I haven’t any children of high school age, but I can readily see the need for an East side high school. We, as parents, must demand things that are very apparent for the benefit of our children and better high school facilities are what are needed out here on the East side.” Harry Reed, Chauffeur “I think it is no more than fair to have an East side high school. It is absurd to think that by adding a wing to Attucks high school that it will even temporarily relieve the crowded situation there.” Joseph Swink, Parent “Anything that the School Board does with the exception of building an East side high school, will be a farce, to relieve the crowded conditions that now exist at our present high school.” Mrs. Katherine Ross, Housewife “I am greatly in favor of an East side high school. Emphatically so. There will be a greater need for one in the near future, unless one is built now.” Mrs. Ella Smith, Housewife “I am greatly in favor of an East side high school. The greatest reason that exists is that there is too much time consumed by the East side students in going to and from school.” Mrs. Almeta Collins, Parent “I am greatly in favor of an East side high school, because an annex to Attucks high school will not be of permanent value to the student, to the community, or to the city. We would need a high school in the very near future anyway.”
