The James Logan Courier

From wikipedia:
Charlie Biddle, CM otherwise known as Charles Reed Biddle (July 28, 1926 – February 4, 2003) was a Canadian jazz bassist.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, Biddle lived most of his life in Montreal, Quebec, however he did not become a Canadian citizen until his last years. After completing military duties in the US Armed Forces during World War II, serving in China, India and Burma, he went on to study music at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he started playing bass. In 1948, he arrived in Montreal while touring with Vernon Isaac's Three Jacks and a Jill. Biddle was fascinated by the fact that in Canada, particularly Quebec, you would see black jazz musicians playing alongside white jazz musicians as the best of friends. Impressed with the opened-mindedness of the people of Canada in matters of race, he decided to settle down in Montreal, and fell in love with a French-Canadian woman. The two eventually married and raised three daughters Sonya, Stephanie and Tracy and a son, Charles Biddle Jr.

Only days remain for the senior class and their high school career will come to an end. Luckily, we have memories to hold with us forever.

The top four memories, voted by seniors, are Homecoming day, Senior Skit, Powderpuff, and Senior Prom.

Senior Dana Llarena said, “it was good to take the league title back on homecoming day” while Darren Dela Pena says, “the dance routine [for skit] was epic.”

Everyday, at the beginning of second period, Logan Live starts its announcements. During this time they take a few seconds to recite the pledge of allegiance. A question formulates on how many students actually rise and recite the pledge. “None of my classmates rise for the pledge,” says an anonymous student. “Our teacher says we don’t have to.” Similar responses from students are given when asked if they rise during the pledge.

Josh McAllister remembers, “In elementary school, we always stood and recited the pledge. However, in high school nobody really does.” It is true that students in elementary schools are not reluctant to say the pledge, whereas high school students simply do not care. In fact, some people believe there are several causes for this lack of care.

The epic 2010 James Logan Senior Ball begins in less than two weeks; however, some girls are unsatisfied with the ways they are being asked to their ultimate high school dance. In fact, every year, girls all over the school wish they were asked differently. The boy's proposition is either too corny or unflattering. Some girl's even reject such suitors because the way they were asked sucked.

Boys that feel put-down then ask what the girl's reasoning is. Responses they receive are "I'm not even sure I can go to prom"ť or "You're better off going with someone else." Some girls even stall by saying the good old "maybe," in the hopes that another person will ask them.ť The truth is that all these answers are bogus: girls are simply trying to spare boys the embarrassment of a straight answer. Ultimately, they conceal the fact that the methods is what really impacts the final decision.
