MORE NEWS FROM CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT 4. Libraries and Mendelsohns--they go together! Tuesday night, Daniel Mendelsohn (right) will appear at the main branch of the New York Public Library for a little talk called "From Roman Games to Reality TV--Mass Entertainment & Imperial Politics." Who took the photo on the right? Why, none other than Matt Mendelsohn, of course!

In other news, Jinju Yi of Plainview's John F. Kennedy High School reached the team finals of the Siemens Competition. She will fight over a $30,000 scholarship with her science partner Vijay Jain of New Hyde Park. Impressive!
