The James Logan Courier

By Beatrice Esteban, Courier Managing Editor

After a long afternoon spent strolling around the lovely streets of San Francisco, my parents, sisters, and I were in search of local Japanese cuisine to satiate our hunger. First, we drove to Nameki Sushi in Union City, but upon being informed of the 30-minute wait, we promptly left in search for another restaurant. When we arrived at Kioku Sushi in Newark, we found that the restaurant was full as well, but rather than giving up and settling on another type of cuisine, we walked into Umi Sushi Boat across the street with no expectations.

I’m sure you’ve all thought, at one point or another, “I think Logan should…” or “I wish Logan had a…” or something similar.

The school has set up a couple of suggestion boxes around the school to let the teachers, administrators, counselors, technicians, and other district employees for the school know what could, or even should, be considered, improved, added, or even subtracted.

However, it seems that a couple of factors lead to an incredible lack of attention to these boxes. The number of entries submitted to the boxes around the campus is so low that for a reasonably long period of time, they were disregarded. In addition, suggestions were much too broad, much too specific, or impossible due to space or money limitations. Some suggestions weren’t really even suggestions at all; they were simply complaints about various aspects of school life, including teachers and the campus itself, to name a few.

Everyone once in a while, you might be in a mood to enjoy a comedy that provides you with nonstop, unintelligent laughs. One movie that perfectly fits that description is The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard. The movie stars Jeremey Piven, as Don Ready, a highly enthusiastic car salesman, with his own team of salesman following his lead. The plot revolves around the failing dealership of Ben Selleck (James Brolin), an elderly and beloved car salesman.

Due to the failing nature of his business, he is forced to hire Don, in hopes that his team will have the capability of bringing his business up. In the first day of their new partnership, Ben’s dealership sells an amazing amount of cars. Due to his success, Don is quite happy, until Ben’s future son-in-law, Paxton (Ed Helms), shows up to the dealership with an offer to buy it.

In 1990 Cry-Baby premiered and was recognized as one of Johnny Depp's most memorable break-out roles. His performance is phenomenal as the young, handsome, polite but rebellious, Wade Walker, otherwise known as Cry-Baby. Setting in the year 1954, satire is expressed between stereotypical squares and the bad-ass outsiders in high school. Society standards are defied when Allison Vernon-Williams, a square, takes an unexpected interest in Cry-Baby Walker. Despite the disapproval of her close-minded former boyfriend and uptight grandmother, Allison allows herself to be free for one night in the arms of Cry-baby.

From wikipedia:
Hugh Mulzac (March 26, 1886–1971) was an African-American member of the United States Merchant Marine. He earned a Master rating in 1918 which should have qualified him to command a ship, but this did not happen until 1942 because of racial discrimination.

Born on March 26, 1886 on Union Island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, his life at sea started right after high school when he served on British schooners.
