The James Logan Courier

By Michelle Morimoto and Salim Dost, Courier Staff Writers

When James Logan senior Michelle Raskin bought her the tickets for Senior Ball, she was not aware that her 22-year-old date could not attend with her. It was not until after she shelled out $110 for her tickets that she heard that her date, being over 20 years old, was too old to attend.

She's not alone. Several other students have complained that they weren't told of the age restrictions until they had bought their tickets, and now they want to be allowed to bring their dates, or at least get their money back.

LUNCH:
All-Beef Hot Dog,
Milk, Baby Carrots, Fresh Fruit, Cookie, and Fun Chips

ACTIVITIES:
If you are participating in the Unity Fair, you must attend a mandatory meeting after school on May 10, in Room 476.

Want to run for class office? Come pick up an application at lunch in Room 476!

Ever since freshman year, Koi Sushi Boat has been my favorite place to eat lunch
on days when school ends early. Over the years, I realized that this is also
the favorite spot of teachers and administrators from Logan as well, and for
good reason!

Yoshi's Japanese Restaurant & World
Class Jazz House
510 Embarcadero W
Oakland, CA 94607

With the prospect of a wonderful night of jazz and sushi, who could say no? I certainly couldn't when I was asked to join a few friends at Yoshi's on a Monday night to enjoy the Chabot jazz band as they performed in the jazz club adjacent to the restaurant itself. Though you don't need to eat in the club in order to enjoy the great food, the atmosphere is one that cannot be duplicated.

New Haven Unified is one of nine districts from across the country selected to be part of a Stanford University professional development network of districts engaged in school reform.

The Leadership for Equity and Accountability in Districts and Schools (LEADS) Network is a three-year program designed to apply best practices and cutting-edge knowledge from education and business to the challenges confronting public education. LEADS members will learn from and work with each other and faculty and staff from Stanford’s School Redesign Network (SRN), School of Education and Graduate School of Business.

Horace Mann, ardent abolitionist, social reformer, and visionary educator, founding President of Antioch College (1853-59), was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, on May 4, 1796; he died in Yellow Springs, Ohio, on August 2, 1859.

His father was a farmer without enough money to pay for his son's education, and Horace was forced to obtain an education using his own resources. He earned his school-books when a child by braiding straw, and his frugal lifestyle taught him habits of self-reliance and independence.
