Brooklyn, X. Y. Miss Mildred Hayes, the pioneer teacher of our recently established Cooking department, will teach the same subject in the schools of Porto Rico. 9 r Manuscript for the Radiator must be written on one side of the large theme paper. A line must be left between the title and the beginning of the article, and a half-inch margin on the left side. The paper must not be folded or rolled. The name of the author must be at the top of each sheet and the pages numbered. 9t 9 9 9 An orchestra composed of representatives of the several High Schools of Greater Boston is now under way under the leadership of a Somerville High School boy. This is an entirely new idea and deserves the support of everyone who can play any musical instrument except the piano.

One of our numbers saw Miss Farr riding home in her automobile one day a short time ago. It had a Maine license on it. Now who would have thought she came to school from Maine every day? Who can blame Fiske for dropping Greek when the division consisted only of girls? Walsh is the greatest German scholar in the Somerville High School. If you don’t believe it, ask him.
