One win, four losses.

That’s the record of the James Logan Colts heading into league play. Yeah, we're 1-0 in league already, so at least that’s one positive for our team. But I don’t know: 1-4 is pretty depressing to me. In case you haven’t realized from that, we lost Thursday night against Berkeley. It was another close game, but we just weren’t able to pull it out. We just weren’t able to score enough points on offense or stop them when we needed to on defense. And a few questionable coaching decisions didn’t help. The final score was 13-9.

Edith Spurlock Sampson (13 October 1901? – 8 October 1979) was an American lawyer and judge, and the first Black U.S. delegate appointed to the United Nations.

Sampson was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. to Louis Spurlock and Elizabeth A. McGruder. Despite family financial difficulties, she graduated from Peabody High School in Pittsburgh. She then went to work for Associated Charities, and studied at the New York School of Social Work. One of her instructors, George Kirchwey of Columbia, encouraged her to become an attorney. She studied law while working as a social worker in Chicago, taking night courses at John Marshall Law School, from 1922 to 1925.
