ABSENTEES Continued from Page 1 However, virtually all-white high schools like South Boston, East Boston, Hyde Park, Charlestown and Roslindale had very high absenteeism, and they can scarcely be considered near any potential racial trouble spots. Charlestown High, on the day after the Bunker Hill Day parade, had 301 absentee pupils instead of the usual 51. South Boston High had 327 rather than the usual 160.

Hyde Park's normal 109 was up to 273, and East Boston High was up from 113 to 201. Two other explanations besides Dr. Gillis' are suggested: 1 Tuesday'! weather was magnificent 2 Some students might have stayed out in sympathy with the Negro movement.

Here is how some of the statistics of Tuesday's so-called "Stay Out for Freedom" break down: There are normally 19,048 students in Boston's 16 public high schools, but since 3684 seniors left in mid-May, only 15,360 lower classmen were expected in school Tuesday.

Of. these, 5605 (or about 36 percent) were absent. Normal absenteeism on such a day runs about Boston's 16 public junior high schools have 12,882 pupils, of which 2655 were absent Tuesday, or about twice as many as the usual 1300. No statistics on racial background can legally be kept by any public school system, but it is estimated that about 10 percent of the 1232 student body (without seniors) at Boston Technical High are Negroes. The school is in a predominantly Negro section in Roxbury.

This means that Tech has about 123 Negro students, but Tuesday's absenteeism ran to about 529. The normal is 86. Some school authorities said unofflciallythat they believed many white parents kept their children away in fear of possible violence. However, the heavy white-student absenteeism in non-Negro sections takes soma of the steam out of this observation. Another school spokesman expressed his opinion that many students "simply took a holiday when they had the chance."
