Text transcribed from caption: PC-30564 NEW YORK STUDENTS BOYCOTT SCHOOLS NEW YORK -- Schools throughout the New York metropolitan area where civil rights groups have charged the existence of racial imbalance were picketed by students who braved icy winds during a one-day boycott. Here, Negro, Puerto Rican and white students march in front of Seward Park High School on the city's lower east side. Of the 464,361 students who stayed away from classes -- 44.8 percent of the system's total enrollment -- it was estimated that some 360,000 were observing the boycott.
