week for parents to send their chil-dren
to school under the neiglibor-hood

to picket the Woodfield Road School
and asked parents not to send their
children to that school. Wednesday
morning however, they surprised
the community by picketing all
grammar schools in the Mtflverne
School District and attempting to
enroll children at Davison Avenue
and Lindner Place Schools.
^ , Pickets^ at the ^ ^ Linctner Place
School oiiij' demonstrated for about
15 minuter. A few parents tried to
enroll their children but when told
they couldn't be accepted unless the
child had a transfer from the Wood-field
Road School, they quietly left.
Sit-ins AiTested
Demonstrators at the Davison
Avenue School picketed the school
grotmds all morning. A mmiber of
jiickets staged sit-ins in the school
auditorium. When asked to leave by
School Principal Ray B. Blank, all
but five left. W[lien the remaining
five refused to leave and a dis-turbance
was caused, Mr. Blank
called the Lynbrook Police Depart-ment.

and told the sit-ins they
were violating the law and asked
them to please leave the school
premises. Wlien they refused they
were placed under arrest.
