The James Logan Courier

By Arthel Cargill, Courier Staff Writer

James Logan High School was bustling with excitement as they entered their annual spirit week. Red, white and black banners were waved and students participated in dressing up for theme days, but what of the naysayers? Though there was clearly much spirit filling the halls and classrooms of the school, many didn't see fit to honor the occasion.

One student, sophomore Anjali Shelopal said: "The topics were just uninteresting to me, except for twin day. I wanted to dress up, but I didn't have a twin. I didn't even have anything to wear for all the different themes!"

When asked what sort of themes that might be more preferable to the student body Shelopal said, "We should have, like, a Michael Jackson theme next year. Or maybe we could have a famous couples day, like Brangelina!"

Senior year should be the most important and memorable year out of high school. It should be the most exciting due to the activities available to us such as prom, senior picnic, grad night and senior breakfast. There’s also homecoming, sports games and other school dances. It’s also the last step to finishing grade school and moving on to adulthood.

Every year Leadership chooses a theme to represent their class. In previous years I never really cared and just went with the flow, but now that I’m currently in my last year it affected me. I realized it’s my last year; I would like to participate in whatever my class has to offer.

George Washington Williams (October 16, 1849-August 2, 1891) was an American Civil War veteran, minister, politician and historian. Long before its use in the Nuremberg Trials, he used the term "crimes against humanity" after he witnessed the brutality of King Leopold II's Congo (1885-1908), in which some 10 million people lost their lives.
