Feiker addressed the convention in

"One of the outstanding results of
the present unemployment confer

tion to this. but, on the contrary, is
probably one of its most conspicu-
Gus examples.
The condition of your industry is
indeed critical in many respects. The
whole condition has arisen, at least
in part, from a lack of appreciation.
both on the part of the general pub
lie and your own part, of the basic
interdependence of your industry and
the rest of the industries of the COM
munity and country.

Westerns Year
Doings Told
By Student
CBy Robert $. simpsen1

The next to the smallest high
school of the District has won
second place in all of the fore
most interscholastiu activities.
Western High has a student body
numbering about 500, compared
with about 65V at Eastern. 1000
at Business, 1900 at Technical
and about l,4U0 at Central. Not
only that, but she was handi-
capped in all the major sports
because a large part OF the
equipment was stolen.
In football Western tied with
Central for second place, ana
boasts of four All High play
ers. These are Capt. Burke and
Dawson, backs: Conard at end.
and Hartman at center. Ever
ette Burke proved to be the IN
dividual star of the season. Be
sides that. the team won the
majority of the games played
with other teams.

a box whiJh the students call the
gym" and which. by the way,
is but one-third the size Of the
courts on which the titular
games are played. the Western
quintet cine second. having de-
feated Central twice, Business
and Eastern twice each, and
dropping one game with Tech.
Jeffries was chosen by all the
local papers as all All-High for
ward.
Coach Green developed two
stars in track: Capt. Douglas and
Nicols. Nicols broke his own rec
ord in the low hurdles this past
spring in the Central stadium,
which he had established last
year. In that meet Western was
only beaten by Central. The
triangular meet between West
ern. Tech and the Episcopal High
School of Alexandra was won by
ing in again close second.
Also in the recent Tome meet,
held at Port Deposit, Md, eleven
points were scored by Lee Doug
las and Arthur Nicols, who have
been mentioned before, which we
consider Is very creditable to
the men and to the school.
