The James Logan Courier

By Allen Chan, Courier Staff Writer

On Tuesday, James Logan's Varsity Girls Softball team beat Washington 4-2 on the night the team honored its seniors.

The epic senior night consisted of energy, sweat, and most of all spirit. Team captain Jackie Campa claimed the night was “intense” and was “surprised at Washington’s competition.” However, despite the Huskies urge to win, Logan bounced on top with seven hits and four runs. One could say that the Colt’s home advantage boosted their will to win.

"Celestica (Album Mix)" is a dreamy introduction to Crystal Castle's very much anticipated new ep, Celestica, containing five new songs. It was released April 27. Alice Glass sings haunting lyrics in the first track, and this is the most I have heard her sing. The following song, "Insectica," is also unusual because it includes the more guitar than I've heard in a Crystal Castles song.

Kitayama Elementary School improved its statewide ranking on the Academic Performance Index Report released today by the California Department of Education.

Mary Esther Wells (May 13, 1943 – July 26, 1992) was an American singer who defined the emerging sound of Motown in the early sixties. Along with The Miracles, The Temptations, The Supremes, and The Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America "bridging the color lines in music at the time."

With a string of hit singles mainly composed by Smokey Robinson including "Two Lovers" (1962), the Grammy-nominated "You Beat Me to the Punch" (1962) and her signature hit, "My Guy" (1964), she became recognized as "The Queen of Motown" until her departure from the company in 1964, at the height of her popularity. In other circles, she's referred to as the "The First Lady of Motown" and was one of Motown's first singing superstars.
