Having considered the oral arguments, the Court is in agreement with the view expressed by counsel for the respective parties and by the Solicitor General that petitioners' present application respecting the stay of the mandate of the Court of Appeals and of the order of the District Court of June 21, 1958, necessarily involves consideration of the merits of the Court of Appeals decision reversing the order of Judge Lemley. The Court is advised that the opening date of the High School will be September 15. In light of this, and representations made by counsel for the School Board as to the Board's plan for filing its petition for certiorari, the Court makes the following order:

1. The School Board's petition for certiorari may be filed not later than September 8, 1958.

2. The briefs of both parties on the merits may be filed not later than September 10, 1958.

3. The Solicitor General is invited to file a brief by September 10, 1958, and to present oral argument if he is so advised.
