It's the night before finals and students are scrambling around there teachers like never before. For the prepared student, the coming of finals is time for a sigh of relief. For others, desperation is setting in.

Finals start tomorrow and continue Thursday and Friday for all grade levels. Each final period will be approximately two hours long and the school has modified the schedule so that each student takes two finals a day.

The dreaded filter.
By Rechie Cruz, Courier Staff Writer

Despite recent events, most of us know that Logan is a safe, and enjoyable environment. The administration and teachers work hard ot keep it that way. But one thing that might be overdoing it a little is the Internet content filtering that Logan uses.

We all know that Logan means well in protecting students from "unnecessary" websites. However, there are times when the filter can get in the way of everyday use. People have been having trouble accessing their email and sometimes it blocks useful sites that help out with research information, leaving students and even teachers annoyed and frustrated.

ST. LOUIS — After wrapping up his work in the Star Wars saga, Darth Vader settled down in Allentown, Pa. At least, that's what his Facebook page says.

Actually, there are at least a dozen people on the popular networking site claiming to be the famous villain-turned-hero, which tells us two things: There's a lot of obvious lying going on and there's not much being done to discourage it.
From wikipedia:
Pierre Gassendi (January 22, 1592 – October 24, 1655) was a French philosopher, scientist, astronomer/astrologer, and mathematician, best known for attempting to reconcile Epicurean atomism with Christianity and for publishing the first official observations of the Transit of Mercury in 1631. The Moon's Gassendi crater is named after him.
