Miss Wendell
 Quits At B. H. s.

May G. Wendell, head of the Ger man department at the local high school for the past ten years will resign her position this week to ac- cept an appointment in one of the New York high schools. Miss Wen dell returned from a trip to Eur opue last evening. Today she inform ed the school authorities that she had been given the New York appoint ment.
 Miss Wendell has been considered one of the most valuable teachers in the, high school faculty. She has been instfuctress in German at the local school for the past fifteen years talk ing charge of the department during the session of 1903-o4 after the death of Madame Mondon. She has been to Germany about a half dozen times visiting the schools and other insti- tutions of learning there in order to better qualify her as an instructress. On her recent trip she also visit ed Holland, Belgium and Italy. She spent some time in Rome where she enjoyed an audience with Pope Plus x.
 Miss WendelPs ability as a German instructress has long been recognized. Her careful tutelage has often been demonstrated by the many young men who have taken the entrance ex- aminations for Yale University. In- variably the youths from B. H. $. stand out foremost among all the other young men, attesting strongly the worth and ability of their instructress.
 Miss Wendell resigns to go to New York because of the greater advan- tages offered to teachers in that city.

 DISPUTE BY LOT
Principal sinonds Holds Drawing With Set of old
 Lunch Room Tickets

Three hundred and ffty-two Fresh men stormed the portals of the high school today. This represents the So large is the incoming class that many are forced to attend school in the afternoon.
 It has been the custom to have the members of the Commercial class at tend in the afternoon. This took 80 leaving PIP to enter the four year course. As but 125 pupils can be ac- commodated in the morning session 1t was hard matter to decide which members should attend mornings and which afternoons.
 Principal Henry D. Simonds dug up the, red and blue paste boards which are the relics of the old lunch days, and held a lottery. Those who were fortunate enough to withdraw a blue ticket from the recepticle held before them by Principal Simonds joyfully morning shift and passed to the room assigned them. But those who were unfortunate enough to abstract a red ticket learned that they were con demned to pass the afternoons for one year at the tottering old school. Ac- cording to the youths who were part ed from their side partners for one year the scenes at the drawing were rather heart rending.
 Two new teachers appeared at the school today, MT. Perkins, who be- comes head of the mathematic de- pertinent and Miss Sophia Grumman. MT. Perkins succeeds Miss Mary E. Witt who has been filling the position temporarily. Miss Grumman takes charge of the room vacated by Mrs. Jane c. Wright who will assume the duties of Bessie B. Hanover, resigned.
