DEPOSITION

ROGER L. MARSHALL, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

That ha is the Chairman of the Orange County Board of 

Education and has served in this capacity during all times herein 

mentioned.

That Miss Stella Horton, one of the plaintiffs herein, 

was employed as a teacher at Orange High School during the school 

year 1968-69. That it was reported to the Board of Education 

in the fall of 1968 that Miss Horton had stated to the members of at 

least one of her classes that "communism was a superior fox'm 

of government to the form of government which exists in the 

United States"; that this reported statement caused a good bit 

of criticism and unrest in the community' that as a result of 

said unrest the then Superintendent of the Orange County 

School Administrative Unit, Mr. G. Paul Carr, and the then Princi

pal of Orange High School, Mr. Harry Howard, were requested by 

the Board of Education to investigate these reports; that as a 

result of said investigation Mr. Carr and Mr. Howard exonerated 

Miss Horton and Mr. Carr wrote Miss Horton a letter in which 

it was stated that she was cleared of any blame. That several 

children complained to school authorities about the harshness 

with which Miss Horton dealt with children and the boisterous



manner of her demeanor and tlie loudness of her speech. That: by 

Christmas of 1968 Miss Horton had become a very controversial 

teacher and had brought about at least one gathering of dis

pleased parents who appeared before the Board of Education. That 

in the spring of 1969 reports came to the attention of the Board 

of Education, and particularly t.o this deponent, that Miss Horton 

had required her classes in American History to read "Manchild 

in the Promised Land" by Claude Brown; that the principal, Mr. 

Claytor, had prohibited Miss Horton from requiring the use of this 

book; that investigation disclosed that although there was conflict 

among Miss Horton's students as to whether or not she had instructed 

her students that they would be required to purchase the book 

"Manchild in the Promised Land", the reports were uncontradicted 

that she acquired enough copies of said book for each of her 

students' that it was further reported to the Board that a black 

student had reported that he stood at Miss Horton's side and 

sold copies of the book "Manchild in the Promised Land" for her 

after she had been forbidden to sell .the books by her principal.

That it was further reported to the Board that a Mr. Shuford 

withdrew his daugther from the Orange County Schools because 

of the treatment afforded the child by Miss Horton. That it 

was reported to the Board of Education that Miss Horton had



Q A~ T  O l

humiliated children by telling them that "they stunk" and bv 

suggesting before the class that they use a deodorant.

That it was recommended to the Board by Mr. Claytor, Princi

pal of Orange High School, that Miss Horton's contract not bs 

renewed after the close of the 1968-69 school year.

Further your deponent sayeth not.

Deponent



DEPOSITION

FREDERICK THOMAS CLAYTOR, being duly sworn, deposes find

says :

That he is principal of Orange High School,Hillsborough,

North Carolina; that he has served in this capacity since 

November, 1968. That as principal of Orange High School he lias 

the duty of supervising said school and the faculty members thereof 

in connection with their teaching duties. That he is well 

■acquainted with Stella Horton, one of the plaintiffs herein; 

that she was a member of the faculty of his school during the 

school year 1968-69.

That during the school year 1968-69, while this deponent 

was serving in his present capacity, a Mr. W. D. Shuford reported 

that after enrolling his child in Orange High School, after 

moving to Hillsborough from Charlotte, that his daugther was 

treated in such a discourteous manner by Miss Horton and talked 

to by Miss Horton in such a manner that he, Mr. Shuford, refused 

to allow her to return to school; that she had been reduced to 

Lears although she was not a person subject to such emotions 

ordinarily; that Mr. Shuford was obviously greatly upset and 

your deponent felt it necessary to remonstrate with Miss Horton 

about her conduct in this matter; that subsequent to this



96a

toccasion Stella Horton humiliated several children by telling them 

that "they stunk"; that she further humiliated these same 

children by bringing to class a can of deoderant and announcing 

before the entire class that certain students should feel free tc 

come forward and use the said deoderant.

That in the spring of 1969 it was reported to your deponent 

that Stella Horton had announced to her classes in World History 

that each child in said classes would be required to read "Manchild 

in the Promised Land" by Claude Brown. Miss Horton had acquired 

enough copies of this book to provide each member of these classes 

with a copy thereof. White students reported that Miss Horton 

made the statement that everyone would be required to purchase 

a copy of this book. The reports from black students were that 

she merely suggested that these books could be purchased. Your 

deponent, upon learning of these developments, Instructed Miss 

Horton that she could not require this book to be read, that she 

could not require this book to be purchased. Miss Horten was 

further instructed to return all money which she had collected 

from students from the sale of this book and further she was 

instructed to take up the book from the students. It was reported 

to your dqponent by a black student that he, the black student, 

had suggested to Miss Horton that he could sell the books for her

if she was prohibited from so doing. This student further reported



that he, pursuant to said suggestion, made several sales of books 

in Miss Horton's presence while standing at her side; that this 

was done after your deponent had prohibited Miss Horton from 

selling the book. It was further reported to your deponent by 

several students that Miss Horton had instructed her classes in 

World History that if they did not read the book "Manchild in the 

Promised Land" and make a written report thereon that they would 

fail the six week grading period. it was further reported 

to your deponent by several students that Miss Horton instructed 

them that this report must be made from their own book, and they 

would not be allowed to read the book, of another.

Further your deponent sayeth not.

ORDER ON FINAL PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE 
[Filed M a y  2 1 '  ~ 1 9 7 0  f

Pursuant to the provisions of Rule 16 of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 22, a final pre-trial 

conference was held in the above-entitled cause on the 27th 

day of March, 1970. James E. Ferguson, II, Esq. appeared as 

counsel for the plaintiffs and Lucius M. Cheshire, Esq. and Emery 

Denny, Esq. appeared as counsel for the defendant.

1. It is stipulated that all parties are properly before 

the Court and that the Court has jurisdiction of the parties and

•of the subject matter.

2. It is stipulated that all parties have been correctly 

designated and there is no question as to misjoinder or nonjoinder 

of parties.

3. It is stipulated that there is no necessity for the 

appointment of a guardian ad litem, next friend or other fiduciary 

for any party to this action, other than as now appears in the 

proceeding.

4. In general the plaintiffs claim:

a. That prior to and including the 1967-68 school year 

defendant operated racially segregated schools, assigning teachers 

and school personnel to the various schools on the basis of race



100a

and color: that effective with the beginning of the 1968-69

school year, the defendant, pursuant to its two-phase plan of 

desegregation, proposed to and did refuse to assign white students 

to previously all-black schools and arbitrarily and discrimina- 

torily closed its all-black schools including Cedar Grove Elementary 

School, a new facility constructed within the past five years.

b. That during the 1968-69 school year, defendant, 

pursuant to its plan of desegregation, assigned plaintiff Stella 

Horton to a previously all-white school and because of objections 

of white parents and pursuant to defendant's practice, policy, 

custom and usage of discriminating against black teachers and 

school personnel, defendant dismissed plaintiff Stella Ilorton at 

the close of the 1968-69 school year solely because of her race 

and color.

c. Defendant has continued its practice and policy of 

discriminating against, limiting, classifying and denying equal 

employment, assignment and promotion opportunities to black teachers 

and school personnel solely because of their race and color.

d. The foregoing discriminatory practices and policies 

of the defendant are violative of the rights of plaintiffs secured 

to them by the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 

Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.



101a

On the basis of the foregoing contentions, plaintiffs seek 

to enjoin the defendant's racially discriminatory practices and 

to have plaintiff Stella Horton reinstated with back pay and 

exxaenses and to require defendant to utilize its formerly all

black schools.

5. In general the defendant claims:

a. The defendant operated its schools in Orange County 

in compliance with, the guidelines of the Department of.Health, 

Education and Welfare; that the defendant submitted its plan 

eliminating its dual system of schools to the Department of 

Health, Education and Welfare, and that such plan was approved. 

That in accomplishing this drastic departure from the heretofore 

method of assigning students, the defendant found it necessary

to close several schools and to consolidate various grades in 

the Hillsborough area. That students of both black and white 

races were assigned to schools which had been previously both 

all black and all white. That the schools which were closed 

were closed without regard to whether or not they had been pre

viously all black or all white schools.

b. That the defendant decided not to renew the plain

tiff Stella Horton's contract at the end of the school year 

1968-69. That such decision was not based upon her race and at 

no time during the cons:deration of the question of her retention



102a

was her race given any consideration whatsoever, and that should 

the school board have had the same information about any white 

teacher in its system, such white teacher's contract would not 

have been renewed.

c. The defendant has never had a policy of discrimina

ting against, limiting, classifying or denying equal employment,' 

assignment or promotion to black teachers and school personnel 

solely because of their race and color.

6. There are not third party claims or cross-claims involved 

in this litigation. The Attorney General of the State of North 

Carolina has been allowed to appear as amicus curiae in this 

action. In general, the Attorney General as amicus curiae claims:

a. That the State statute (G.S . 15-142) under which 

public school teachers are employed and dismissed has been brought 

into issue and its validity has been subjected to constitutional 

attack by this action.

b. That there also exists the possibility of constitu

tional attack upon G.S. 115-145 dealing with the removal of 

principals and teachers for cause.

c. That the foregoing statutes, if constitutionally

attacked,.are valid enactments of the North Carolina Legislature 

and are constitutional both on their face and as applied.



] 03a

7. In addition to the other stipulations contained herein, 

the parties hereto stipulate and agree with respect to the 

following undisputed facts:

a. Defendant's all black Cedar Grove Elementary School 

was closed pursuant to defendant's plan of desegregation. In 

addition, West Hillsborough and Ay cock Schools were closed at. the 

end of the 1968-69 school year pursuant to defendant's plan of 

desegregation.

b. The Cedar Grove Elementary School is an adequate 

facility and is suitable for use as an elementary school.

Central to Orange High School and then In 1969 - ‘70 integrate 

the elementary schools with a view toward establishing three 

elementary schools to accommodate all the children in grades 

one through six through the county. All of this was dependent 

upon completion of construction programs.

Q What do you mean “with a view toward establishing three
elementary schools1'?

A As I recall, in. the plan submitted to HEW and

subsequently approved by HEW we stated that we contemplated 

the establishment of three elementary schools and this would 

be completed and the plan implemented in the fail of 1569.

Q How many elementary schools did you have at that time?

A Let’s see. If I ’m counting correctly-, I believe there

were five plus the Central School which had elementary grades 

in it.

Q Do you recall how many of these x;ere attended by only
.

black children?

A At that particular time I can't be sure. We x-?ere

operating on a freedom of choice plan and there was considerable 

mixing of the races in the schools.
I

Q Under your freedom of choice plan did any white child

ever exercise the choice to attend a black school?

A I don’t altogether recall. I think that there were some

white children assigned to some of the predominantly black 

schools at that time, but I'm not certain in my recollection.

We did.

Do you recall the grades it served?

X believe Cedar Grove served one through six, a s best 

can recall at the moment.

No "..bite child ever attended Cedar Grove, did there?

I don't recall.

You had a school called Aycoclc?

Wo did.

What grades did Aycock servo, 11: you recall?

I believe Aycock also was one through six. X don’t

recall--  X believe there were junior high grades, perhaps

beyond six, seven and eight.

Q Do you know the approximate distance between Cedar
Grove and Aycock?

A It’s in excess of three miles.

Q Is it in excess of four miles?

A I have the impression that it is, but I don’t knov?

precisely.

Q Is it in excess of five miles?

A It’s my opinion that it’s approximately five miles, but

by both schools.

Q Did the Board ever go on a tour of the schools?

A The Board has gone on tours of the schools, yes, sir.

Q W e l l, did the Board go from Aycock to Cedar Grove or

from Cedar Grove to Aycock?

A 1 was never with the Board when it went from one of the

schools to the other.

Q Are both of those schools in operation today?

A Neither of those schools are in operation as schools

this year.

Q Do you recall the approximate year that Cedar Grove

was constructed?

A As I recall, it was constructed in three stages. I

think initially the first stage was completed about approximately 

1 2 or 15 years ago. X don’t recall the exact date.

Q Do you recall approximately when the second stage was

completed?

first stage was completed.

A I'm not sure that I know what you mean by administered.

Q Y o u  were operating under a freedom of choice?
Right.

new was freedom of choice normally administered?

It was administered by permitting the children to 

select the schools which they or their parents desired for 

them to attend as long as there was a school where the 

appropriate grades were,

Q Did you have a definite choice period?

A We had a period in which we requested the choices be

made to facilitate the assignment of pupils.

Q When were choice forms given the students?

A That was handled as an administrative matter and I

don't recall,the precise period. It was, of course, in 

advance of the closing of school for the year.

Q There was a definite choice period though?

A This was stipulated in the plan that v;as developed

and published and distributed.

Q Is it your testimony that black students at Central

by the Board.

Q And did that plan provide that all black students at

Central High would be transferred to Orange High for the

over the reluctance of those children to attend classes at 

Central School and wanted to know what they could do to assist- 

in resolving the difficulties.

classes at Central School?

Board met with the students whose main concern seemed to be

subsequent to that 1 met with a group of •• well, small

complete Integration of the schools and that the first stage 

of the step railed for the removal of the tenth grade from 

Central School to the new Orange Junior High School, with

the complete integration of the two schools delayed pending 

completion of the construction project. As a matter of fact', 

this was a part of it. There were two projects and they were 

a now junior high school and a new wing on the existing senior 

high school. And the completion of integration was dependent 

upon the completion of these two building projects, or the 

completion of an orderly integration, I should say.

Q Well, what was the concern?

A The only concern expressed to me that I can recall was

that the students did not want to nave their high school

broken apart by having one grade removed.

seriously at the time. But it was generally the fact that 

Miss Horton was' - I hesitate to say terrifying the children,

but certainly upsetting them - and some were at that time 

ill-defined.

to a ninor degree at that time of the opening of the 1968 - '69 

school year.

Q Uhat did these issues revolve around?

A Primarily the atmosphere that existed in the classroom.

Q And the issue became more prevalent?

A There were more complaints, yes, later in the year.

Q Hell, when vzaa the first time at; a regular Board

meeting that Miss Horton came to your attention?

A To the best or my recollection. Miss Horton may have

been discussed in a Board meeting prior to the time that a 

group of people appeared before the Board very much upset by

some things that it was alleged she had said. But I have no 

real distinct recollection of this. Her name did appear before 

the Board in a normal routine manner as the Board approves 

teachers each year and discusses personnel,

Q Do you normally approve teachers at the beginning of

each school year?

A Mo, except teachers v?ho are newly employed in the

system.

Q well then, Miss Horton's name didn't come up in that

capacity at the beginning of school, did she?

Dl!
A I was referring to prior to the beginning of the j

school year; Mias Horton's name came to our attention very 

early in the school year of 1968 - *69.

Q What was that in connection with?

A As X stated previously, it came to my attention

initially end primarily through calls from parents.
I
j Q And bow did it come to the Board's attention?

A To the best of ny recollection her name came to the

Board's attention in a regular Board meeting in an unfavorable 

way when a group of parents appeared before the Board.

Q And v;hat were these parents---

A Or a group of citizens. I'm not sure how many were

parents. They were complaining about certain aspects of

Miss Horton's conduct in her c lu ssroom and about certain 

statements she allegedly made.
q what was this conduct in the classroom they were

complaining about?
A Here- again, I'm not sure X. could state with any degree

of certainty or accuracy but there was a feeling that she was 

rather domineering, rather aggressive in her conduct, so much 

so that it did unsettle a number of children in the class 

and seemed to prevent them from doing their best wet;.. 

q And annroximately how many citizens or parents v?erc

complain ing?
A At the meeting before the Board?

Q At the d o g ting before the Board.

A I have the impression and the recollection that there

were 12 or’ 15 people appearing before the Board on this 

particular Issue. This would be hard to ascertain because 

there were a number of people at the Board meeting for various 

reasons. But there v;as' certainly a group of significant sire 

concerned about Miss Horton's conduct,

Q Mere any of them black?

A I don't recall that they were.

Q Uhat did the Board do as a result of these complaints?

A The Board was not anticipating that such a complaint

would be made, and when the allegations were made the group

making then was asked, as I recall, to state their complaint 

to indicate to us any evidence that they might have that Miss 

Horton's conduct had been, detrimental to the educational 

process. And when the group remained rather insistent that 

something - I don't recall that any particular thing was 

specified - but something be done, the Board agreed as it wouldi 

under any similar circumstance to look into the matter.

Q And what did the Board do?

A At that meeting or subsequent meeting?

Q Subsequent meeting.

A The Board asked Hr. 

Schools to see if he could 

principal of the school if

Carr who was then Superintendent of 

determine in conference with the 

there was anything that we needed

relative to communism. This statement seemed to he the focal 

point of the complaint at that time of this group. The report 

came back to the Board that this had been a misinterpretation, 

it would appear. Both the principal and the Superintendent 

seemed to feel that this particular statement was taken 

somewhat out of context. So the Board at: that time determined 

it would pursue the matter no further.

Q Do you recall any other facts that it found?

A No, I don't recall any offhand.

Q Do you recall that one of the parents' complaint was

A Hy answer. Mr. Banning, was that during the year I had

a number of phone calls and a number of visitors. I did not 

say that I did not bring it up at the Board meeting. I don't

before the Board--

Q Do you recall bringing the question of Hiss Horton

the Board? No, X do not.

Q Even though you were receiving these phone calls and

visits f rora pa rents ?

I do not recall that I personally brought the matter 

before the Board.

Q All right. Between October and April was Miss Horton

discussed at a Board meeting?

A I would be inclined to assume that she was, but I don’t

recall any specific discussions. In an effort to be accurate,

people in the school system came before the Board, but I do 

not recall at the moment any specific reference to Miss Horton.

cheer leaders was concerned or the advisers. Now I say it I
was the latter part of September. This could have b e e n  over inj 

October. But a n y w a y ,  it was the latter part of September or 

the first of October.

action was taken.

I

A This was discussed, yes, in the presence of Mr. Howard.

Q How was Stella Horton's name injected into the discussion

A I don't know if I can be specific, but it was pointed
■ .

out that there were problems there and the two advisers' names i
I

were discussed. I can't point out anything specific any more
I

than there wasn’t any togetherness with the cheer leaders.

And it seemed to have been a lot of friction as far as the

two advisers were concerned. They weren't able to communicate4i
Neither were the cheer leaders able to communicate. i
Q Did the Board give Mr, Howard any instructions with

respect to handling the situation?

A Ho.
Q Did the Board request Mr. Howard's recommendations with

respect to handling the situation?

Q Do you recall the next time Miss Horton came to the
attention of the Hoard?

A* The next time it was, I believe, later on in October,

A speciax Board meeting was called one. Saturday looming to 

discuss the situation at the school,

Q What was the situation at the school?

A I never did get all the details but it was pointed out

in tne Board meeting that a group, cf teachers had contacted 

the Superintendent, Mr, Carr, and said that if a certain 

teacher - and this teacher turned out to be Miss Stella 

Horton - and some students, about three students - one student'? 

name was calico McAuooj i can't call his first name right 

now - if the Board didn't take action Saturday to get them 

out of the school system that this group of teachers would not 
return to work Monday morning.

Q Did this group of teachers appear before the Board?

A These teachers did not appear before the Board as a

group at tnis particular meeting. The Board instructed Mr.

Caj.r, alter we had discussed the situation and determined that 

Mr„ Howard didn't know about these grievances that the teachersj 

had brought in, the Board instructed Mr. Carr to contact 

those teacher.?, have them to meet with the principal here in 

this office the following Sunday morning.

Q. When you say you discussed drawing up the policies, 
what were souie of the policies?

A Policy concerning riding school busses, students

cutting classes - I just can't remember. We've got a list 

of them here somewhere. 1 can't recall. There was a whole 

list that was drawn up and presented to the Board and the 

Board approved it that, night. I just can't remember all, but 

it was just a general list of policies for operating the 
school.

Q Do you recall who drew up the list?

A I*ci sure the list would indicate who it was. But I

remember it was drawn up by the teachers and- the principal,
Hr. Howard.

Q The teachers?

A The teachers, as I remember. Now I'm sure the list

would bear who drew it up. A s I remember, this was the group 
that drew it up,

Vlas this list the result of Mr. Howard's meeting that 

morning with the teachers?

A As I understand it, it was. I never heard of the list
before.

Q Do you know whether Hr. Howard met with all the teachers

that morning cr just with those teachers that complained about 
Hiss Horton?

Q D o you recall the next time Hiss Horton came rc> the

A The next time Miss Horten came to the attention of the

Board was a group of parents came in and complained about 

recording classroom activities such as teaching communism, 

teaching black history, and the system of discipline. They 

were complaining about the discipline being too severe.

Do you recall how many parents - approximately how many 
parents - came in to complain?

A We had ten or more. I don’t know exact. Ten or more.

Do you recall what their complaints were with respect 
to teaching communism?

Well, they weren’t too specific but they did say that 

she was teaching - some of them did say that: she was teaching 

communism was a better form of government than wa had here in 

America. I can’t be too specific on this, but this was in 
general what they were saying.

Q ko you recall, or to the best of your recollection,

v-hat were their complaints with respect to Miss Horton’s

conduct toward the children in the class?

A They said that she had them all frightened to death,

inis was in general what it was. She disciplined so severely 

that they were all so rTightened. Sue yelled at them instead 

of speaking .to them in a calm manner and used threatening

Did the Beard ever receive any kind of report, or

with respect to the complaints we ore talking about now?

A Ro m o r e  than in the regular recommendation made at the

end of the year. I mean, nothing came in at the time these 

complaints were brought to the attention of the Board.

Q Hell, how was it determined that Miss Horton should

remain as a teacher a t this time or at that time?

S'- Hell, this was based on, I would cav, on the

investigation that toe principal nacic, 1 guess. X mean, we 

didn’t pot any written report as such. In fact, I don't 

remember any formal, discussion afterwards, but 1 do know Miss 

Horton received a .letter .from the Superintendent telling her

I nay not-be able to give you all the details on that, but I 

do remember at the Board meeting he did tell us that he did 

say to Miss Horton that he wasn't recommending her to work 

with us next year.

Q Do you recall why he told Miss Horton that?

A Me11, I don’t remember the specifics on it, but it got

back to the Board that he said this to her openly in a staff 

meeting and this was the big question as to why would the 

principal make this announcement at a staff meeting. And he 

was clarifying the situation. And it was brought out that it 

was asked in the staff meeting. Some of the teachers were 

concerned and they asked if any such tiring had been said to 

Miss Horton. And I've forgotten whether he said it was Miss 

Horton or one of the other teachers asked him what he had said, 

end ho repeated it, something of this nature. I may not be 

saying it just the way it happened but this is how it came up.

\ As far as the community v?as concerned.

A I don't know of any that would be of any value to us

here. If you villi allow me to say this, we'll just face the 

fact our schools were integrated last year. It was against 

the wishes of many people and naturally we would have people 

who would say most anything to see her go any way different 

from good, and 1 tr \ * i nk we've got plenty of this not only as 

far as Miss Horton is concerned, but as far as the whole 

school system is concerned. Me've got all kinds of unfavorablej
I

rumors. i
Q with respect to the integration of Orange High School,

do you recall how it came about?

A How the Orange High School came about?

Q Y e s .

A I think I'm familiar with it.

Q Can you tell us?

A The original plan was, as I understood it, to take the

tenth grade from the Central High School and carry it into 

the Orange High School last year. And this was very unpopular

as far as black students were concerned and they protested 

taking just one grade out of the school. They insisted that 

they tololly integrate and n o t take one grade. As far as my 

understanding. this is what really caused the unrest as far 

as the students were concerned and triggered demonstrations 

and v:haL have you.

Shortly before Mr* Howard left. It was a Saturday,

Mr. Cheshire, if you remember. You were at this meeting.

A I'm trying to help you now. You were at the meeting.

High School to meet with the teachers one Sunday night?

complained in any way about Miss Horton?

or Hour students that v-e got to get cut of Orange High,
n Le.d anyone at that cnee ting ever make any request that 

li.lrs Horton be gotten out oi the school system at: that 
meeting Sunday nightV

A *Ir« Cheshire, let me try to repeat myself. I thought

I said everything I needed to say, maybe not. The meeting 

v;aa called, a special meeting. lie got - I forgot how many 

teachers, but a group of teachers - who would not go back to 

school Iron day morning if u teacher and .three or four students 

xveren t distnisseo. N ot? o s  far as discussing any specifics 

as to why, i mean this didnft come up. And I think one of 

the reasons was because the question was asked Mr. Howard, 

fV.’hat was it?" And he didn’t know. lie didn't know anything 

at all about why v/e were meeting and he was the principal.

And this is when Mr. Carr was instructed to call a meeting 

with Mr, Howard and those teachers who had complaints, get 

the specifics and work something out. If they couldn't, 

calx the Board back that night and let's see if we couldn’t 

work something out. Now the meeting didn’t make a bit more 

sense to me, Mr. Cheshire, than I'm making sense to you.

Q You are making sense. You heard no complaint at that

meeting about Hiss Horton, did you?

A Miss Horton’s name was called as the teacher. Finley

Mcndoo and three other students* names were called.

A L t  }t>s. -- nnJ Hr. Ralph ?-Ioody at the
Attorney General* s of rice: and also went to Burlington mid 

talked with my brother Leo Carr, who is a judge, about the 

w a i t e r  of handling this kind of affair. And I note here 

that X made a note at the time they complained, they charged 

too s t e m  a discipline; teaching regarding race, and a 

statement on communism. I believe they said that she had

stated that - oh, something about--  I'm a long ways from

remembering vividly, but she had made some statement relative 

to or implying that the government of communism css more 
democratic than our government.

Q Now did you--

A I rm not accurate at all on that and I imagine that Miss

Horton could give us a more exact statement of what she' said. 

But we had Miss Horton to come. First Mr. Howard and I talked

to her about the statement. We had Miss Horton to CJluG tAtnd
she made a statement to the Board of what she had said.

Q Do you recall what you asked Miss Horton concerning the
statement?

A I asked her what she had said,

daughter was t -orrally afraid of Miss Horten and she was 

considering having her drop out of school because tof the fear 

she had. She was also considering very strongly having her 

drop the American History course although she had to take it 

to graduate. This is the only incident that I remember some 

person coming direct to. me. But she came one Sunday afternoon 

and she brought the child and the child supported her 

statement and said that she hoped that I wouldn't report it 

to Miss Horton because she didn't want her to be mad with her 

and take it out on her in the classroom.

Q Now this was before Mr, Squires---

A Oh, yes. This was a month before Mr. Squires appeared,

done to frighten the children?

isrt't it the usual procedure when a teacher is not

.

performing properly or is falling below expectations to discussj 

the problem with the teacher prior to reaching some decision
i

se to whether or not she will be terminated?

A Xt lQ t h e usual procedure for the principal to discuss

it with the teacher. It is not necessarily the procedure for 
the Superintendent to do that.

Q Did the Board employ supervisors?

A- Yes. They are not in any way allowed to share in the 

responsibility of selecting or dismissing personnel. They are 

strictly supervisory workers and they are not administrative

2 2 6  a

iorkers.

Q
i!

How these are teaching supervisors?

They are supervising teachers.

Q And isn’t it part of the normal function of the

supervisor to counsel with teachers with respect to any 

difficulties a teacher may Lc having?
A It is.

13 I Q V/as this done in Miss Her ton's case?

20 !| A The supervising teacher, as far as 7. know, never 

' l i! counseled with Hi as Horton.

Vo you know why?

Tell, I don’t knew that there was any occasion to.

21 -Fcr °ne thing, Hiss 1 for ton was in the high school. We have

two genera] supervisors who work mostly in the elementary school

counseled Miss Norton?

A Hell, I don't think there vu::s any occasion when they

were called on to counsel her and I don’t think that they 

were or would have been in their right field or position to 

have gone over there and asked to counsel her. Now I might 

explain to you. sir, that we have very limited supervisors 

in our county. Ue have only two and originally wc asked the 

Assistant Superintendent to be high school supervisor. However 

he had so many duties that related to administration that he 

did very little supervision. lie did work with the vocational

H teacher c? striC fJly but he did •

0 Did you discuss Hiss Horton's termination with the

principal when he submitted his teacher recormnendations for

too coraino school year?

A I don * t hnov that 1 discussed it with him right at that

tine. But I did during the tine the - veil, during the time 

the school teachers vers being considered for re-employment.

In other more's, I wouldn't accept the limitation you set that 

v’e discussed it at the tine that ho submitted his recommends- !i
tions. I don't know that that's when we discussed it, hut-we |

I
did discuss i f : .  i

I
Q Do you recall whether it was before or after he submitted

iI
the recommendations? i

!
A  I donrL know.

Q Nov the recommendations were submitted in writing?

A Yes, sir,

Q Nov the writing consisted of a roster or a list of

names, here any specific reasons stated thereon for not 

retaining Kiss Horton?

A There are the recommendations. Nov this recommendation

beiirs the dr to H.T*T 28. I judge that that would have corue in

the principal's standpoint, and th X, v7 \# cX S  not true.

Q Let me see if I understand you. . You say that---

A On each instance where a problem developed, the principal

in his efforts to work this problem out between the student, 

the teacher, the parent, effected certain measures which in 

the opinion of those who were involved at that particular time 

was fair and just handling. But later faculty members would 

report back that they had been led to believe that this matter 

had not been handled at all or had been handled in a completely 

different way.

Specific instances I cannot relate to you. I think they

are probably available in the principal's records.

nr* p f " ? T ' rv?

A I recall many names being mentioned. I couldn't put

my finger on one or more. My purpose wasn't there to listen 

to gripes on Miss Horton or anything else, My purpose in 

being there was that of a parent who right now has five chiidrer 

in the Grange County- schools. I*d like for them to get as 

good an education as the surrounding counties. And they will 

certainly have to compete with the students in these counties 

when they grow up.

Q Do you or -Jo you not recall Miss Horton's name being

mentioned?

A The name coming up, yes. Specifics in relationship to

t h i s, no,

requiring kids to buy a book, I talked to the Board about this 

and it was at this time I probably mentioned that I would not 

recommend her to be rc-hired. However, J. can't say truly that

recommending, her. I

The thing that upset me the ncct was the feet that she

required the students to purchase tills book. If they did 

not purchase it and make a book review on. it, they would be 

given a failing grade lor the sin weeks period, ilo teacher 

has a right to require students to purchase supplementary 

material c::ccpt in the cases where it is specified at the 

beginning of the year when there are sonic vocational fees or 

things of f i l l s  type. And it w a s  the requiring that the 

students purchase this book and if not they would get a failing 

grade.
Q Now how did you determine the students would get a

failing grade for merely failing to purchase the book?

A How did X determine?

Q Yes,

A This is .what Miss Ilorton told the students.

Q Nell, how did you determine it?

A By interviewing several students and all of them giving

me the came answer, talking to Miss Horton who said that she

did require the students to buy the book.

would be that she not be rc-hired.

A hell, the certain percentage of the students ter

Many of then lived in. constant dread and fear of Miss Horton.
'pLxhcre was a ease in which a white boy was disrespectful to 

Iliss Horten and I believe cursed her and she brought this 

young nan to me. And this was after we had our troubles with 

fights and x;all:outs. And a policy had been approved by the

not any truth to this rumor. And in a teachers * meeting this

question was brought up by a black teacher and I just turned

the question over to Miss Horton and told her to explain the

case and she aid explain it the way it actually happened.

Tors was one case where evidently she was trying to cause other

black teachers to he mistrustful tov/ards rae cr to insinuate

that I would not punish students fairly regardless of whether ■

they were black or white. And there was another case in which

several students came down to rce-to stating that Miss Horton,

using their words, said they stunk. And it was about 30

degrees outdoors and said she kept the windows open and some of j

then were suffering from colds. And she brought a can of .
deodorant unu put r t on. tiioir ciesxs end cold them xx any ox 

them needed to use it she had it there for that purpose.

And there was another case where a Mr. Shuford and his daughter 

who was in the eleventh grade had enrolled in the Orange High 

School curing the second semester. She had previously been goii*g 

to school in the. Mecklenburg System, Mecklenburg County.

She in some coses did this but she kind oJ: got around ray

lass that she could not sell

One student related to me that she gave Miss Horten a book and 

less Horton gave her eighty-five cents and instructed her that 

she could buy the book from Roger Day and she handed the book 

to Roger and ..he gave Roger the eighty-five cents and vent 

back to her sett with the same Look that she-cane up with.

How these are the reasons that I gave to the School Board.

Q Hot; beyond the reasons that you gave the School Board,

do you know of any other reason why Miss Horten should not 

have been retained within the school system?

I do not feel M-.'ihat any teacher vno docs not use

ethical conduct towards all the students, the principal, should 

be teaching in any public school anywhere.

Q now you didn’t feci that Miss Horton was using ethical

conduct f ova 3: us all the students and the principal?

Thereupon:

The following proceedings were had:

THE COURT: Gentlemen, I was looking over this

file. 1 want to see if my understanding is correct.

You have two questions involved: One is the

desegregation c£ the schools in Orange County, arid 

two is whether a teacher was discharged, or not rehired, 

whether it was -for cause or whether it amounted to
o

discrimination because of r a c e or color.

Now as to the school question, as I understand 

it, the plaintiff only questions one thing, that the 

Board closed what had formerly been an all-black school 

and sent the children that formerly attended there to 

other schools-to achieve a racial balance; and the 

plaintiffs say that some children should have been 

brought to that school instead of closing if. Is that 

correct?

MR. FERGUSON: That's substantially correct,

Your Honor.

THE COURT: But wo are not trying now - we arc

not concerned with’ whether the schools are desegregated 

over there?

MR: FERGUSON: No, sir. We are only concerned

but not the plan of desegregation itself.

TIlS COURT: IvDVi HSU has approved the plan of

desegregaflan?

ME«. FERGUS00: X believe they have.

MR. CHESHIRE: Yes, sir. If Your Honor please,

this plan was approved prior to the closing of the 

•school in question.

THE COURT: I see. All right.

Can we hear these separately or is it better to 

receive testimony cn both facets at the same time?

MR. FERGUSON: Xf it please the Court, we would

like to proceed on both questions at the same time.

THE COURT: Well, all right. Call your first

witness.

MR. CHESHIRE: If Your Honor please, as I

understand the final pre-trial order, there was a third

aspect that the plaintiffs have alleged, and that is 

the general policy of discrimination on the part of the 

defendant in its dealings with its teachers and the

hiring and m ’xng ox same as uxstingurshed between the 

allegation.: with reference to the Plaintiff Horton

a general policy--  You don’t attack the overall.

policy of hiring and firing teachers, do you?

MR. FERGUSON: We attack itv Your Honor, insofar

as her firing was a part and a result of that overall 

policy*

TH Z  COURT: All right.

MR. FERGUSON: Now the Attorney-General has

amicus papers filed alleging that certain statutes were 

under attack in this lawsuit. V7e have not specifically 

attacked any state statute in our suit.

THE COURT: I didn’t understand that you had.

All right. Call your first witness.

MR. FERGUSON: If Year Honor please, vre would

like first to examine Mr. Fred Claytor, Principal of 

Orange County High School, and ve would like leave of 

the Court to examine him as an adverse witness.

THE COURT: All right. Come up, Mr. Cloytor.

President;. There van a lot of ill fueling between a certain 

number of blacks and a certain number of whites. There were 

a certain number of white students who probably supported 

George Wallace, and a certain number of blacks who were angry 

about this, Also there had been a lot of turmoil over cheer

leaders .

Q Did this relate to the number of black cheer-leaders

or what would happen to black cheer-leaders who were formerly 

at Central High School?

A Mere again, I did not handle these problems. These

problems were handled by the principal, Mr. Howard. But 1 

think it had to do with the number of black chear-leaders and 

also cheer-leader sponsors who were resigning. In fact, I 

think Kiss Horton was made a cheer-lender by the State. At 

this time Mr. Howard was the principal and handling these 

cases.

Q All right, sir. Do you recall that during this period
that the black students who were transferred from Central High 

School to Orange High had a number of grievances that related 

to their inclusion in the total life nf the school there?

A Well, let me say tills: There 'was a young man at the

school - who I assume was the spokesman for the black students +

Up and he and Mr. Howard heid many
GUIc.2 they were talking c 1■Lo*i& the

with the students in trying to gat their grievances aired 

there at Orange High School?

- A Who came to me?

6 : Q No, sir. Whom you are aware of as being identified
i j h- r? cr the students in their efforts to have their grievances

9|j knew about.

A Wellj 1 can't say for sure, but I would imagine most

of the faculty vac did cone over, if they had a legitimate 

grievance, would certainly like to see it corrected.

Q My question is: Are you aware of certain teachers who

were craneerred along with the ecu 'ants from Central High 

School to Orange High School, who were identified with the 

students in their efforts to have their grievances aired -
17 : that is, the black stud rots?

school year in these efforts; isn't that correct? '

A X would think so.

Q And she more so than other teachers, was she not?

A I couldn't say that for a fact.

Q All right. How you said that during this school year

yeu did not observe teachers in their teaching duties as much 

as you would otherwise, in normal years; is that correct?

A Yes, sir.

Q Did you have occasion during the 1968-'69 school year
to observe the plaintiff Stella Horton in her performance as 

a teacher at Orange High School?
A Very little. I did have several cases in which - 1

wasn't particularly on that hall to listen to Kiss Horton 

teach, but I did hear her teaching. She was very loud. And

a conference as such, but such a conference was held outside

of her door in the hallway.

Q For the record » Miss Horton is black; is she > iO t ?
A Yes.

Q Other than Mis s Horton, did you have students comp}

A Yes, sir.

Q Were any other teachers dismissed--- Strike that.

Were any other teachers not recommended for rehiring 

on the basis of reports from students?

A Not solely on the basis cf reports from students'.

There was one ether teacher that I called in and had a long 

conference with him and told him I thought it would be best 

that ho did not teach at Orange High School the following year, 

and that chances are - this was in April - that I would not 

recommend him to be rehired.

0 What teacher was that, hr. Ciav'for?

A A Mr. Walker that taught American history. Right off,

1 can't recall his first name. We brought him in after the 

school year had started. We can check the records and find 

out his first name.

to ice in the null and nays, "Mr. Clay tor, is it true what 

Mies Horton is saying, that a white student cursed her and 

3'ou refused to expel bird?’’ And 1 said, "No, this is not true. 

Q Who was that black teacher?

A Well, I have tried to find that out in the last two

weeks. The two people I thought it was, one of them said 

evidently no, it was not; and the other one said she didn't 

remember, that it might have been, but she did not want to 
get mixed up in this.

Q Who were those two black teachers?

A Mrs. Cathcart - I bog your pardon; there were three.

Mrs. Cathcart, Mrs, Virginia Taylor, and Mrs. Stanback.

Q Is either one of them present in the Court here today?
A Not to my knowledge.

Anyway, at a teachers meeting Mr. James Shumate 

attended the teachers meeting - Mr. Shumate was a teacher in 

Orange High School ~ brought this question up, and 1 was so 
glad that he did.

Q What question arc you referrins to now?

A That a white boy had cursed Miss Horton and that I



337a

refused to expel him; he brought the. question up. I turned it 

over tc Miss Horton and let her explain it herself, and s h e  

explained it correctly, however, I noticed there wore ruaiy» 

black teachers in the faculty meeting shaking their heads when 

sue got through explaining. She told the truth, exactly how it j 

happened.
Q And that was the only time you heard- from her relating

to that instance, is that correct?

A 1 beg your pardon?
Q fhat was the only time that you heard directly from her

relating to that incident, is that correct?
A' Well, I didn't go out: and tell anyone about it, so it

couldn't have come from but one other source. 
q  Well, it could have come iron seme source other than

either you or Miss Horten, couldn't it?
A x don't know anyone that knew anything about it but

Miss ITortcn, myself, and the boy involved. 
q  All right. How you said you talked with some black

teacher about it and you said you took this as an effort to

undermine the administration?

A Yes.

teachers every day in the hall about things pertaining to 

school2 and something like this - I feel certain that one of 

the teachers I mentioned probably was one of the ones who 

asked ia>a3 this question.

Q Mr. Clayfor, g o  you know your individual teachers in

the school?

A Yes, sir. I know them very w e l l .

Q Do you know who the teacher was that you talked with

on this occasion?

A No, sir, I'm not absolutely sure. However---

Q Mow you don't know of any actual conversation that

Miss Horton and this teacher, whoever this teacher was, had, 

do you?

A Mo, sir.

Q So what you are relating here is purely a n assumption

on your part?

A No, sir, it's not an assumption.

Q Are you saying then that you accept what this teacher

whom you don't even remember told you over what Miss Horton 

said at the teachers meeting?

A I don't understand why Mr. Shumate even brought up the j

question if someone hadn't related this matter to him, and I 

certainly hadn't.

Q Wasn't it common knowledge among teachers there at the

school that this incident had occurred between Miss Horton and

BOH-

Danny Spells?

A No, sir.
Q The teachers didn’t know about rt until it was brought

up in the faculty meeting, is that correct?
A This is when it was brought up, at a faculty meeting.

Q You don’t know where Mr. Shumate got his information?

A No, I do not,
Q You don’t know whether the teacher that told him that

told them the same thing, do you?

A No, i do not.

Q You don’t know if this teacher was just trying to spread,

rumors about Hiss Horten, do you?

A No, I do not.
Q You didn't undertake to investigate to find out. All

right, sir.
Would you state ether instances that you know of of her 

attempting to undermine your administration in the o8~ v9

school year?
A well, there was the case in which I had instructed her

to refund money to students who had purchased the book, 

’’Manchild in the Promisee Land," and a^so the book, ..sc Jungle 

that no student was required to purchase the book, cue told 

students in one ox her classes when they brought uho coo^s up 

she would give .them the money back, that she couldn’t sell that.

A When X directly told Hiss Horton to refund the money

and she gets around it by sayings ”1 cannot sell you the book 

but Roger here can sell you the book,1' and she takes up the 

book and hands the book to Roger, Roger hands the book back to 

the person and gives the person 85 cents; yes, sir.

Q Hr. Claytor, did you -chock it cue with Kiss Horton or

didn’t you check it out with Hies Horton?

A I can’t truthfully say.

Q You deemed this to be an attempt to undermine ycur

administration and you don’t know whether you checked it out 

with Miss Horton or not?

you considered to be an attempt on Miss Horten’s part tc 

undermine your administration?

the book, I believe you said that you directed her to refund

her if it was true that she was requiring these, kids to buy 

the book. She said it was. I asked her if it was true that 

they had to make a book review or this or fail the six weekst 

and she said it was.
I talked to her about the fact that I thought the book 

"Manchild in the Promised Land" had language in it - that I 

didn't think it was good judgment to start with to require 

sixteen- and fifteen-year-olds to read this book; secondly, 

that we could not require kids to purchase books like this 

against their will. Some of the parents would not let the kids 

brine the book in the house. And I instructed her to reruiicl 

the money on both of these books.

young man corning up in the ghettos of one of your northern

pimping for prostitutes to reform institutions and right o n  

up until he becomes a successful individual in spite of all 

of this, as best'I recall*

inappropriate for: reading material for high school students?

A It’s my opinion it was inappropriate for reading fer

high school students, yes, sir,

O Do you have or have you received a supplementary reading)

list issued by the State Department of Public Instruction?

A Yes, sir.
O Is it not a fact that during this same period of time

or shortly thereafter the book "Kanchi.ld in the Promised Land" 

appeared on the supplementary reading list issued by the North 

Carolina State Department of Public Instruction?

A i7c.ll, ns I understand - maybe someone else hieher up in

education can answer this a little better than I can. I think 

that it appears; it’s there if anyone wants tc use it. The 

thing here with Mias Horton is this required reading.

MR. CHESHIRE: If Your Honor please, would not

the list itself, which they have subpoenaed- be the 

best evidence of this?

THE CGUfT: Well, I guess it would bet if he

knows, he can tell. If he doesn’t know, he can say he 

doesn't know.

A It is on a state list. Whether it's the state

supplemental list, I d o  not: know.

Q (By Mr. Ferguson) Kaw this state supplementary list is

a list of books that are approved by the Department of Public 

Instruction for reading by high school students; isn’t that 

correct?

A Yes, sir,

Q You are saying in spite of that in your own opinion

tills book was not appropriate for high school students; is 

that right?

A This book in my opinion is not appropriate for high

school students; correct.

Q U-erc there m y  other bocks shown on the list that you

Q Does tiie book "Catcher in the Rye,: by 1. D„ Salinger

appear on that supplementary list; do you know?

A Yes, sir, it does.
q .Do'.you rind that appropriate or inappropriate for

reading by high school students?
A I find it’s inappropriate unless a kid voluntarily

wants to read it. I find many books that the parents would 

object: to. We do not allow this to be required reading. If 

the kid wants to read it on his own, that's his opinion, the 

same as it would be on Claude Brown, but it's not required 

reading.
Q Are you saying then that if a parent objects to a

particular book for a, child, that that makes tne beck 

inappropriate reading for high school students?

by the Orange County Board of Education as of the 1968-'69 

school year which setteo that students could not be required 

to read books on the supplementary reading list?

A It had been an understood policy since 1965, as long as

I have been with the Orange County School System.

Q And v.ho understood the policy?

A This was a policy that was understood by every teacher

that I ever had any contact with, that the kids could not be 

forced to purchase supplemental material. If they wanted Co, 

fine. If they wanted to purchase books, fine. If a class 

wanted to get :'Ti.mc" magazine and all of them purchased it, 

fine. But they could not be required to.

A Yes. There was one thing she did for a while; I don’t ii

I
the students as far as the lunchroom so things would move in 

an orderly manner, and than they could.go ahead and eat lunch j 

in the cafeteria or whatever they were going to do. And for 

a long time t h e r e Miss Horton paid no attention to this 

whatsoever. She had students bringing lunch up to her; she 

did not lead them down and she had students bringing lunch 

to her. This I noticed for a while.

There is nothing real serious there but it is kind of 
disregarding instructions.

I spoke to her about trying to tone down her voice in 

teaching. The other teachers along the hall, if they opened

grading period, and she said yes. At that time I told Kiss 

Horton that this and the other things that we had discussed 

during the year, that I did not intend to rehire her.

Q Did you enumerate to her what the things were during j
the year that you ware talking about?
A She knew.

Q Did you tell her?

A I think I mentioned the deodorant incident. X think

that X mentioned the incident about the kid who she said that 

I would not expel for cursing her because he was white.

Q That's all you mentioned to her?

A That's all I can recall.

Q h o w  did you have occasion to appear before the Board

with your list of teachers who were to be rehired and those 
who were not to bs rehired?

A Yes, sir.

Q khen did you appear before them?

A I can't give you the exact date. It’s in May of each

year though that each principal goes before the Board and 

makes his recommendations. It's in the month of Kay.

Q o£d you at that meeting discuss specifically this point
with the Board?

recommend to be rent red. Seme, had resigned and some were

recommended to be rehired.

Q Did you discuss with the Boned your reasons for not

rehiring 'her or recommending her for rehire?
Yes.

Uhat reason did you relate to the Board for not retiring

A

Q

her?

The three specific reasons X related are the three that
we have alreauy talked about. One was the Danny Spells

< I
incident; another was the deodorant incident; another was the 

requiring of the reading of "Manchild in the Promised Land” 

and “The Jungle,” and requiring that book review to be made 

on this or a failing grade would be given for the six weeks.

Q You didn't mention anything t.o the Board about her being
loud and disturbing other classes?

A This probably was--- I might have mentioned that..
These are the* three specific things.

Q Those are the three things that you mentioned?
A Yes, sir.

THE COURT: What was the ratio of black and

white teachers in your administrative unit, or how 
many approximately?

THE WITNESS: The Superintendent can answer

this better than I can, but X would say it's in the 

neighborhood or ,?3 percent biactc, 3A percent black, 
and 66 white or 67.

THE COURT: That high school you closed, what

was that, and you brought then all over to Orange High 

School? Central High School was closed?

THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.

THE COURT: Did you bring all the teachers from
Central over to Orange?

THE WITNESS: I think all that wanted to coir:*

were brought. ' As I say, I wasn't the principal at the 

time that change was made.

THE COURT: Go ahead.

Q (By Mr. Ferguson) Do you recall the number of black

teachers and the number of white teachers you had at Orange 

High during the '68-'69 school year?

A I would say in the neighborhood of around 15 or 3.6

black, around 31 or 32 whites. That's just a guess. I don't 
know the exact.

Q Do you know what the figures are for the 1969“ '70 school
year?

A Ho, I do not know, but I'm sure someone in the School
;

Board has those figures.

Q Do you know the number for this year?

but I don't recall the exact figure.

Q Do you knew whether the number of black teachers in

Orange High School is less than it was -* is now less than it



360a
FA.Gf

was ia the 1968-’ 63 school year?

A No, sir, I wouldn't think it was less. I would think

it would be more. We have one vacancy for a black teacher

there; a black guidance department teacher resigned one week 

before school started, and that position is still open,

Q Kow many guidance counselors do you have?

A Two.

Q One black and one white?

A Yes, sir.

Q Do you have available to you statistics regarding the

number of black and white teachers in that school since the 

*68-'69 school year?

A I think the Superintendent probably has those figures.

Q Do you knew the political affiliation of any of the

parents who complained to you about Hiss Horton?

A No, I do not.

Q You don’t know whether any of them are "Wallaceites"

or not?

A X haven't the slightest: idea.

Q Isn’t it a fetet, Hr, Clay tor, that this student Danny

Spells which you referred to walked around the school there 

day in and day out with a Wallace hat and a Wallace necktie

m?

A Yes, sir. I saw him with a Wallace hat and a Wallace

necktie on.

I might acid at this tine I was not principal of Grange 

High School. He never walked around there with a Wallace hat 

on or a Wallace tie on when I was principal of Orange High 

School, or no one else.

Q New since the incident involving the hook with Miss

Horton, has the School Board adopted any written policy for 

the purpose of supplementary reading material and whether or 

not they can be required?

A The School Board has not, to vny knowledge.

Q Have you published any written policy since that time?

A I have verbally told each teacher in the school.

Q You have not published any written policy since that

time?

A I think these policies should come from the Board of

Education.

Q You have not published any written policy since that

time?

A I have not,

Q .Now to your knowledge, did Miss Horton discharge her 

administrative duties at the school with reference to getting 

in reports and v?hclever one was required to do promptly?

A I couldn't answer that question about her professional
competency on the subject matter, because I did not observe 
her enough.
Q You do know, do you not, that even before the *68-*69
school year Mr. Howard, then principal of Orange High School,

because of his impression with her competence?

THE COURT: It's cross examination.

MR. FERGUSON: We examined him adversely.

THE COURT: Well, that’s ail right. I let you

cross-examine. He can have the same privilege.

Q (Uy Mr. Cheshire) Would you relate to His Honor what

that experience was?

A Yes, sir. A  gentleman had called, under the name of

Mr. Shuford, came into the school one day and said he would 

like to enroll his daughter at Grange High School. They had 

been in the Mecklenburg School System. Mr. Shuford*s wife 

was at Duke for a kidney transplant, and they had purchased a 

trailer down near the Durham-Orange County line. So he had 

taken the child, I think uo Durham High School and maybe 

Northern and Orange, and ho decided ho wanted to send her to 

Orange High School. So the next day he sent the child in to 

school.and she was registered by the guidance department,

Mrs. McKee, and enters our school.

The next morning M r .  Shuford i.o back to take his child 

out of school. He was extremely angry. 7. asked him what the

problem was. He said, '’Mr. Glaytor. we like your school.

We like all of your teachers, except your black history 

teacher has literal ly terrified my daughter .11 And I asked 

him to relate what had happened.

She said she went into Miss Horton’s room, gave her 

the slip from the guidance department assigning her to that 

classroom and she said Miss Horton bellowed out at her, "What 

are you doing in here? Vino sent you?"

She gave her the slip from the guidance department.

"You go back and sit down. W e ’ll see about this."

Later cn she said she came back to her and asked her 

how far along in the book were they in the Mecklenburg school,
|and she said cnapter so- and-so,; and she said Miss Horton 

said, "Well, w e ’ra c.n chapter this-and-that; 1 don’t know 

whether you can catch up or not."

But anyway she goes back home that afternoon and her 

father said in all of her eleven years in being in school 

she had never been subject to such treatment by a teacher.

This was very embarrassing to me and it was very embarrassing,

I would say, to the whole school system that something like 

this could occur.

Q Mr. Claytor, relative to the incident regarding the

student Danny Spells, who you have related cursed Miss 

Horton, have you subsequently - in recent days, I believe you 

testified - made inquiries of three of your black teachers

A One of the teachers simply said this, that they had

heard that X had refused to expel this. Danny Spells for 

cursing Hiss Horton because he was white. She did not say

that Miss Horton tolc! her that. She didn’t remember exactly
.
where she heard it. Rut she said all of the black teachers 

had been told this, and how shocked she was when Mr. Shumate 

asked the question in the teachers meeting, that someone

evidently had not told him the truth, how embarrassing it 

must have been to him to ask such a question. She said they 

were all surprised because that wasn't what had been told,

How she did not tell me that Miss Horton told her that. She

CROSS EXAMINATION (Continuing)

Q (By Mr. Cheshire) Mr. Claycor, I believe you

testified on direct examination that you related to Kiss 

Horton, the plaintiff, that one of the reasons you were not 

going to recommend that 3he be rehired was the incident 
involving the Spells boy; is that correct?

A Yes, sir.
Q What response, if any, did Kiss Horton give in response

to that disclosure?
A She gave none at all. This and several other things

were mentioned. She gave no response whatsoever to it.

367a
PAGE NO. j

q How, Mr. Claytor, during the noon recess have you had
a chance to deliberate a little; have you recalled any reasons 

that were known to yon or any incidents that were known t.o you 

about Miss Horton which you failed to disclose upon direct 

examination?
M X . FERGUSON: Obj ec t ion.

THE COURT: Overruled.

A There ware a couple of things that X do recall that

were mentioned to me. However, I did not consider these as 

being real crucial in making the decision not to real re her. 

But: I did get complaints that at tiroes after a class had 

started that several black students w c u I q  come into the class 

and she would step teaching and confer with them several 

minufces sometimes.

There was also a complaint that: there was one black 
student in particular who would coma into her class every once 
in a while and spend a whole period who was not a member of 
her class.

Other complaints received along this line was that 
sotaetime maybe in the middle of the class someone would 
perhaps bring up something pertaining to blacks; she would 
drop the subject which she was talking about at that time and 
spend the rest of that period speaking on. the subject 
pertaining to blacks.

Kow these three things were called to my attention. 
However, I did not consider them serious enough.
Q What was Miss Horton's conduct when this unidentified
student would come iu and stay during the entire period, in 
relation to her class?
A Well, this is strictly what was reported to me, was
that sometimes she would spend quite a bit of time talking to 
this individual. What she had her class doing during this 
time, 1 do not knew. Sometimes the report came to me that he
would just come in and stay and listen to her teach the class. 
Other times she spent a lot of time talking with him. 
q Talking with him and ignoring the class?
A Whether she gave the class any work tc do or not, X

don't know.

for your actions in recommending that Miss Horten net be

A I gave them the reason that several students were
literally afraid of Miss Horton. The Danny Spells Incident* 
which we have already related.
Q The Spells incident? Did you say the Spells incident?
I didn't understand you.
A Yes, the Danny Spells incident, which has already been
related.

All right. Excuse rue.
A The deodorant incident, which has been related. The
Shuford incident, which has already bean related. I believe

also that-—  Hell, these are the major ones that I can recall 
at this time. There might have been something else, but these 
are the major ones that I recall.
Q Did you relate to the Board anything relative to the
Plaintiffs* Exhibit 1, "Manchild'1?
A Yes. That is certainly one of the reasons also, the
requiring that students purchase this book, the requirement
that they hud to make a book review on it or fail the six 
w e e k s .  Yes, sir, that was one also.
0 So you disclosed to the Board of Education those very
things that you have testified today about-—

enrollment period?

A Yes, there is, if they are sent up by the guidance

department or the office. The central office decides whether

the student goes into the class, not the teacher.

Q If the central office were to send a child into a

class which is already overcrowded, wouldn't it be the 

responsibility of the teacher to return that child to the 

central guidance office to try to get her straightened out?

that he be rehired;

Q What war- the

A Mr. Staples '

that was related to the Board.

Q Now you said that a Hr. Staples and a Mr. Walker were
not recommence.d for retire?

A Well,. 1 talked with Hr. Walker and told him that I

would not roc emend that ha be rehired, and he resigned. And 

talked with Hr. Staples and said I would not rcccrarand 

be rehired; he did not resign, but he was not rehired. 

What was the reason for not rehiring Mr. Staples?

Mr. Staples had been a fairly good teacher. I think 

he had had seme domestic problems. Mis work, his appearance, 

the general discipline of his classes, all deteriorated. When 

I talked with Mr. Staples about this, he readily agreed that 

he should not be re-elected; he said he did not deserve to be. 

Q He admitted to you his own inadequacy as a teacher?
A Yes.

Q What was the reason you weren't going to rehire Mr. •
Walker?

A Well, I think Mr. Walker had a problem - primarily his
biggest problem was relating to students. It seemed like that

I did too9 but hi thought he needed a new start in another 
school. With vhat he had already learned,, he felt like he 
could go along okay,
Q Now did you ever have any such talk with Hiss Horton?
A The only conference I can say I had with Kiss Horton
was, after we talked about the book incident, she admitted 
Chat she did require the book to be bought and a report would 
have to be made or they would fail the six-week period.
At that time I told her that this incident and the others 
that I have already related here, I did not have any 
intentions of recommending her to be rehired fox* the 
continuing school year. This was the only conference that 
Miss Horton and myself had,
Q How long did that conference last?
A i would dare say not less than 15 minutes and not more
than 25.
Q Now the domestic problems that Mr. Staples was having
were beginning to affect him in his competence as a teacher 
relating to students; is that correct?
A That was my judgment. That might not be correct at
.all. Hut he had been a very competent teacher before. In 
my op if on, some thing had happened.

Something was affecting him in hie competence as a

Q And the problem that Mr. Walker was having in relating
to students affected him in his competence as a teacher, or 
at least aftected year evaluation of Ills competence as a 
teacher; is that correct?
A Well, I was constantly getting students coning down
and complaining about Mr. Walker; and we had several 
conferences together and it didn’t seem like the situation 
seemed to be getting 'any better.
Q I'm just trying to be clear here now. The matters
that you were concerned about insofar as ho was concerned 
related to his competence as a teacher, getting over the 
subject matter to his students and relating to them; is that 
correct?
A Primarily in relating to his students, yes, sir.
Q And he had a R certificate?
A Yes, sir.
Q And he was teaching out of his field?
A I believe that is right.
Q Now you a few moments ago read off come words to the
Court which appeared on pave 337 and the following five pages 
of this book, is than correct?
A -Yes, sir.

Q And is it your opinion then that the mare appearance
oi these words in the book renders the book objectionable or 
obscene insofar as high school students are concerned?

be hundreds o: such words throughout- the book. If I had & 
fifteen--or si riteen- year-old child, I would not want that

i
child to be forced to read that book and make a report on it.
Q Why?
A Because of the.language involved.
Q Because of the language involved?
A Yes, sir. That's one reason. Another reason, I
wouldn't want r.y child forced and required to read any book, 
regardless of what: it was.
Q You say you wouldn't want year child required to do
any required reading?
A Hoc be forced to read a book, to buy a book from a
teacher against their will and forced to make a report, cn it, 
regardless of what the book was. You must remember I did the 
same thing on "The Jungle" as I did on "Manchild in the 
Promised Land." I said refund the money, period.

A Generally, I would say it traces a young man through
all the different life in the ghetto on up to manhood, whore 
he overcomes all of these obstacles and so on and becomes a 
successful human being.
Q These words that you called out to the Court as
mentioned in that book are words commonly used in the ghetto 
which relate to this man’s experience in ghetto life; isn't 
that correct?
A I would imagine that is true,
Q Are you saying then you would want to shelter your
child from the facts and realities of the language of the 

ghetto life?
A I am saying X would not want my child to be forced -
and I emphasise the word "forced” - to reed any book against 

their will.
Q All right, sir. How taken,as a whole, would you say
that the bool: "Itanchild in the Promised Land" is an obscene 
or pornographic work?
A Well, I'm no literary critic; it would just be a poor
layman's opinion. 2ut any book that has as much vulgar

Q Traditionally, up till the 1965-*06 school year the
Orange County School System was completely racially 
segregated, was it not, that is, whites attending certain 
schools staffed by white teachers end clack students attending 
certain schools staffed by black teachers?
A I don't remember which year it vac, but about three or
four years before I left.

Q You don't recall the year that the first steps towards
desegregation were taken?

A I recall it but I don't know which year it was. I

A No, sir, I don't. Those records are a part of the
Grange County board of Education records, and X am separated 
from that employment now and so X do not have those records 
available. The present Superintendent, Mr. George Williams, 
will be able to furnish you that information, and X expect 
already has. But the record will show.

Q Do you recall the year tnat Miss Horton, the plainertf
Stella Horton, care to die Orange County schools?
A Ho, sir. She had been there four or five years; I
don't know exactly which year. Whether hiss Horten was 
brought there by Mr. Murfree or Kr. Stanley, X m net sure.
She could tell you.

beginning of the ‘ 66-fb7 school year?
A That sounds about right.
Q Do you k n o w  what school she taught in at that time?
A At first: she taught at Central and wan there for two
years and then - well, in '66 - and then in Orange High for 
one.
q Will you ceil the Court what schools you had in the
system at that time and what the racial characteristics of 
the school were?
A 1 can tell you generally. I think I can name the
schools for you. Do you mean tell whether they were white 
or black?
Q Yes, sir.
A All right. We had Central as a high school and union
school--
Q Wait a minute. You said Central was a union school;
that is grades one through twelve?
A That's grades one through twelve.
Q Mow was that a predominantly black or predominantly
white school?
A That was a black school. It was the black high school

for the whole county.
Q All right, sir„
A We had Cedar Grove, grades ora through eight; this was
a black school, we had Hilaud Creeks, grades one through

I’/.,;':

eight, which was a black school. And the last: year or two we 
had Central Elementary, grades, I guess, lour - three - the 
first three grades were transferred from Central union school 
to Central Liemeatary. They were almost on the same campus; 
they were about a block apart, but the bus had stepped ~ 
brought the children to both schools, and we just took the 
bottom three ".races or t of the Central union school and mo van 
them to Central Elementary School. Now it would have taken 
wince one, two, or three years before I left, three years 
maybe. Now those were all the black schools.

Then we had Orange High School, Orange Junior High 
School, Carr.tr on Park, Ay cock, and Efland, all white schools. 
Now they were partially integrated about three years before 

■ this.
q You were operating under the fraedom-of-choice plan

at that time, is that correct?
A This is correct.

Did you have black principals at all tee bin a, rclu

sir, and this is vague to no because it’s a year and a half

correct? New would that be - was that the original plan?
A What do you mean, the original plan? We had hundreds
of plans. I started to say dozens, but there were literally 
hundreds. Everybody had an idea.
Q At some point during the preceding year had the Board
of Education made a determination to transfer only the tenth 
grade at Central High to Orange High School for the *63-*69 
school year?
A The Board asked HEW to permit it to operate one more
year and then to totally integrate; and as a result of
adjustments between the Board and IlbW, we did integrate the 
senior high school totally that year. And wa integrated all 
others as far as it was possible wxth freedom ox choice.

had asked to allow the tenth grade to he Ti.oved and ths eleventh

the fact that you were moving only the tenth grade---

what they were hollering about.

manner of conducting a class is not the sane as all black

Q What would be the difference?

She is much sterner chan roost, in my opinion.

Have you ever observed her in her classroom?

I have.

I observed her over at Central and I also observed her 

at the time Mr. Howard and I had a conference with her at
i

Orange High School. I was in her room maybe five minutes while 

she was teaching. I was looking at the supplementary books in j 

her room.

really bad about the class at Central. As a matter of fact, 
hr* Howard and I were both favorably impressed with the way 
she was conducting her class at Central.

A Yes. He asked, when we were calking about transferring
teachers, he asked fcr her to be transferred..

made when he observed her?

came and asked m  not to send her over there, end I find to

whether it was on that visit or on another visit; but I went 
up there lor Vusl* a few minutes and checked her book list, 
because 1 had had a complaint or suggestion that \*e needed 
more bocks about the black race or about the Negro race or 
something, and I -wanted to know approximately whet sort of 
books she had. Now this may have come to me - I'm not sure’ 
just how it came about. It may have come to rne from the 
black race, asking that I implement the purchase of 
additional supplementary readers. I don't remember. But 
that's what I was doing in there and I suppose I was in 
there five minutes. I didn't sit down and I didn't try to

Mr. Frank Coleman regarding the book. H r. Coleman is the 

father of a child who was in the class. She carried the 

book "Manchlld in the Promised Land" home one night. He called 

Mr. Claytor and cams to see me. He said he couldn't find 

Mr. Claytor. I happened to be in the office, so he bent my 

ear for a couple of hours, and I told him that I v;ould refer 

toe matter to Mr. Claytor, which I did the next morning or 

that night; I don't know which. X called Mr. Claytor and 

asked him to take care of it.

Then the next morning is "when he saw Miss Horton and 

they had the investigation that he has related.

There Is a written policy in the state, not jest in

report the fee, you have to tell what it will be used , j 

and a teacher is not allowed to charge additional rees beyond j 

the fees that are reported to the State Department; and these j 

fees * each fall we told the principal what fees were approved:

"You can charge certain fees but v:a want you to reduce them
