In Defense of Blair

I have Just read the letter
from "A Sligo Student"
(TEEN, February ID. and
I would like to clear up q
few things. !, too, am o Blair
student, and /, too. am proud
of my school. Blair Is one Of
the best high schools In the
area. (Note, one Of the best;
I do not deny the existence
Of other good schools. and
neither did my classmate) I
feel that in time all the area
high schools should be re-
featured, but the larger
schools. such as Blair. should
come first.
1t disturbed me that the
Sligo student placed a junior
high on the same level with
o high school, any high
school. The junior high Is
what its name indicates. jun
ior-subordinated in impor-
portance to the high school.
Junior highs now are too
often trying to initiate the
activities Of the high school.
School spirit Is necessary at
every level. but such devout
loyalties which are commonly
developed towards ones high
school are out Of place on
the Junior high level.
I feel the Blair student did

Another View

In answer to the note by
"A Sligo Student" ! am truly
inclined to agree with him
Tor herr. This may sound odd
coming from another Blair
student, but whoever wrote
the first letter saying that
less important junior highs"
should be left out Of the
School Of the Week" column
had no business indicating
such q thing. Junior highs
are schools. just as senior
highs are, and 10 my knowl-
edge. there Is nothing in
TEEN that implies that Just
senior highs are TO be fea-
tured in the colum.
The first letter Is not typi-
cal Of q Montgomery Blair
student, as many probably
think. I have no idea who
the person is and I don't
really care to know him. He
Is Q person who ranks Blair
above all other high schools.

Renewed Plan

Delegates to the Adams
Morgan Planning Committee
last night voted IL to 8 against
a proposal for public housing
In scattered sites throughout an
urban renewal area, as Endorsed
by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission.
Several delegates expressed
their organizations distrust and
lack Of faith in the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency, National
Capital Planning Commission,
and the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority.
The planning delegates were
from the % citizens groups
representing the $4,000 resi-
dents and property owners in
the northwest urban renewal
area. roughly between Six
teenth street, Columbia road,
Rock Greek Park, Connecticut
avenue and Florida avenue.
Recommendations in favor Of
the housing proposal by a spe-
cial subcommittee were rejected.
A report by a special sub
committee recommended ap-
proval of the urban renewal
plans clause which would per-
NIT scattering the sites among
privately owned homes.
The small number of public
housing sites. scattered over a
large area, would have a less
detrimental impact than large
block-type public housing" the
report said.
The report recommended re-
wording the urban renewal
plan to specify that the NCPC
and District Commissioners had
to approve the exact boundary
for each Of the scattered sites.
Phil A. Doyle. RIA executive
director. told the group that a
new legal opinion by the NCPC
staff said a public hearing
would have to be held anyway
on any individual public hous-
ing site.
Dutton Ferguson, delegate
from the Block Council Of the
100 Block Of U street. NV.
said his group was opposing any
public housing, scattered or
otherwise, for the area.

That noble blue whale over

yesterday.
But unfortunately the en-
thusiastic opening Of the
Smithsonian Institutions new
Life in the Sea" hall was
dampened by a sad announce
ment concerning the amazing
whale exhibit that was more
than two years in the making.
The disturbing blue note was
an obituary notice for the en-
tire blue whale species. The
largest mammal that ever lived
is well on its way to extinction
and a final resting place with
the museum dinosaurs and
Egyptian mummies.
DR.. A. Remington Kellogg, a
Smithsonian honorary research
associate and a ld-famous
authority on the whale, noted
that I'VE are now observing the
closing days Of the existence Of
the blue whale in our oceans. In
deed, some Of you at this OPEN
ing may never again have the
opportunity to see a real blue
whale except in museums"
1t seemed ironie. Millions Of
years ago the ancestors of the
great blue whale lived on land
and then adapted to the, sea.
But taking to water 1t met q
relentless killer. :. Man.
DR.. Kellogg was taken by
surprise when his statement
drew a sympathetic vocal re-
spouse from the large crowd
of adults and children In the
Rotunda.
Children Fascinated
After DR.. Kellogg's little talk,
the bright lights of the new
hall we're turned on. The chill
dren running to see the exhibits
stopped dead in their tracks
when they spotted the graceful
92-foot blue whale suspended
