The James Logan Courier

By David Collins, Courier Opinion Editor

For years, James Logan High has assembled teams of students from each grade to form the student body, which we call Leadership. The process is a democratic voting system in which student can be voted into the Leadership program by gaining a larger number of votes than other candidates. The candidates can publicize through posters, pins and any other manner that doesn’t violate the school code.

Once the candidates are voted into a one of the numerous positions such as secretary, president, vice president and treasurer, they are the voice of they’re peers. They have control of the grade’s theme for that year, certain activities and the ever-popular school dances.

From wikipedia.org:
David Dunbar Buick (September 17, 1854 - March 5, 1929) was a Scottish-American inventor best known for founding the Buick Motor Company. He was born in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland but moved to Detroit, Michigan at the age of two when his parents emigrated to the United States.

When he left school in 1869 he started working for a company which made plumbing goods and when it ran into trouble some years later in 1882, he and a partner took it over. At this time Buick began to show his promise as an inventor, producing many innovations including a lawn sprinkler, and a method for permanently coating cast iron with vitreous enamel which allowed the production of "white" baths at much reduced cost. Although cast iron baths are uncommon nowadays, the method is still in use for enamelling them. With the combination of Buick's innovation and his partner's sound business management the company became quite successful.
