The James Logan Courier

MISCELLANEOUS

Hey Logan! Did you know that since the beginning of school we have totaled more than 16,800 tardies. That's 3600 for Freshmen, 5200 for Sophomores, 4900 for Juniors and 3100 for Seniors. That's the same as each student at Logan having 4 tardies. Imagine if each tardy equaled one minute of class time lost-that's 280 hours of learning lost. To improve our tardy situation, the Logan Tardy Roundups are back. Starting this week, and each week from now on, there will be random tardy roundups. If you get caught in one, that's a phone call home and an hour of detention. If you hear the music, you know it's on so don't be late!

The Holy Bible, known by a great many as 'the greatest book of all time"has been around since the beginning of time. However, until recently, it was assumed that the characters within the Great Book were of the same white nationality (be it Jewish, Greek, etc.).

Most religious paintings and sculptures have reinforced this idea, and it was considered a desecration of the word of God to question this belief. However, as of late, historians have discovered evidence proving that there were a number of many races found in the Bible. For instance, the Queen ofSheba, who was recognized as King Solomon's female companion , was Black. In her own words, she declared, "I am Black, but comely...look not upon me because I am Black, because the sun has looked down upon me."

From wikipedia:
Ethel Waters (October 31, 1896 – September 1, 1977) was an American blues and jazz vocalist and actress. She frequently performed jazz, big band, rock and roll and pop music, on the Broadway stage and in concerts, although she began her career in the 1920s singing blues. Her best-known recording was her version of the spiritual, "His Eye is on the Sparrow", and she was the second African American ever nominated for an Academy Award.
