Only days remain for the senior class and their high school career will come to an end. Luckily, we have memories to hold with us forever.
The top four memories, voted by seniors, are Homecoming day, Senior Skit, Powderpuff, and Senior Prom.
Senior Dana Llarena said, “it was good to take the league title back on homecoming day” while Darren Dela Pena says, “the dance routine [for skit] was epic.”

Everyday, at the beginning of second period, Logan Live starts its announcements. During this time they take a few seconds to recite the pledge of allegiance. A question formulates on how many students actually rise and recite the pledge. “None of my classmates rise for the pledge,” says an anonymous student. “Our teacher says we don’t have to.” Similar responses from students are given when asked if they rise during the pledge.
Josh McAllister remembers, “In elementary school, we always stood and recited the pledge. However, in high school nobody really does.” It is true that students in elementary schools are not reluctant to say the pledge, whereas high school students simply do not care. In fact, some people believe there are several causes for this lack of care.
