Outside the James Logan pool complex Wednesday, a pile of soggy cardboard and duct tape paid silent tribute to the foundered plans for victory devised by Logan students, while in the pool more durable boats and their crews battled for supremacy in the annual cardboard boat races.

As the end of the year comes closer, popular events such as the annual Battle of the Sexes grace the Colt Court. Being a James Logan High School tradition, the Battle of the Sexes brings together students to enjoy fun-filled activities with prizes. Thursday's first round was won handily by the boys. Girls get a chance to get even Friday.

I had low expectations for the highly anticipated, widely criticized last installment of the X-Men trilogy, “X-Men: The Last Stand," but it turned out to be not too bad.

Douglas MacArthur (January 26, 1880 – April 5, 1964) was an American general and medal of honor recipient, who was Supreme Commander of Allied forces in the South West Pacific Area during World War II. He led the defense of Australia, and the recapture of New Guinea, the Philippines and Borneo. He was poised to invade Japan in November 1945 but instead accepted their surrender on September 2, 1945. MacArthur oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951 and is credited for making far-ranging democratic changes in that country. He led UN forces defending South Korea against a North Korean invasion in 1950-511. MacArthur was relieved of command by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951 for public disagreements with Truman's policies.
