The James Logan Courier

By Julia Ortiz, Courier Staff Writer

Arthur and his queen, Guinevere, ruled over Camelot in peace when the idea of the Round Table emerged. Lancelot travels all the way from France to be a part of it. Some scandals later, this has the making for and interesting story.

Last night, Logan opened their showing of Camelot, pulling together the school's award-winning choir, drama and band programs to get it off the ground.

About 45 people attended, which can be considered good for a weeknight. Tension and expectations of excellence piled on the performers once the instructors finally left back stage.

New York City, ballet dancers, French accents and homoerotic fantasies are just a few distinctive features of 2010’s Black Swan.

Directed by Darren Aronofsky—of The Wrestler fame—this movie is definitely one that viewers don’t want to see with their parents or siblings. Rather than presenting the audience with a fluffy story of young women in tutus, Aronofsky’s film instead explores the dark transformation of a sweet girl into a mysterious, seductive woman.

From wikipedia:
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an African American seamstress and civil rights activist whom the U.S. Congress dubbed the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement".

Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey bus driver James Blake's demand that she relinquish her seat to a white passenger. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organizers of the boycott, to the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil rights movements around the world.
