The James Logan Courier

By Arthel Cargill, Courier Staff Writer

A sweet, modern day twist on the tale of Beauty and the Beast, Beastly tells the story of Kyle Kingson, an egotistical teenage boy living in the upper East side of New York. Kyle has money, style, connections, girls, and, most importantly, good looks, but he runs out of luck when he stands up his misfit, goth girl classmate Kendra.

After giving Kyle one final chance to repent of his prideful ways, Kendra casts a wrathful spell on him that transforms him into a hideous creature. The spell can only be broken if Kyle can make someone love him for who he is.

Courier Staff Report

A James Logan student was approached by a possible sexual predator Thursday after school, prompting Principal Amy McNamara to issue a warning to students.

According to an email sent by McNamara to Logan staff members, "Yesterday at about 5.p.m., one our our students was leaving campus after an after-school activity. As she was exiting through the Meyers gate, she was grabbed from behind by a stranger, an adult male."

The student escaped the man's clutches "and the incident was reported immediately to the police department, which is conducting an investigation," according to the email.

Wilfred Edward Salter Owen MC (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918) was a British poet and soldier, one of the leading poets of the First World War. His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trenches and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon and sat in stark contrast to both the public perception of war at the time, and to the confidently patriotic verse written earlier by war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Some of his best-known works—most of which were published posthumously—include "Dulce et Decorum Est", "Insensibility", "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility" and "Strange Meeting". His preface intended for a book of poems to be published in 1919 contains numerous well-known phrases, especially "War, and the pity of War", and "the Poetry is in the pity".
