James Hansen started teaching at Logan in the fall of 1976. Now after 34 years of working at James Logan High School, he will be retiring.

Hansen is a well-known teacher throughout the school. He is a teacher that students admire and like. Kids have fun in his class because Hansen doesn't just teach. he also jokes around with the class and makes his class fun.

Asked what he thought of Logan students, he said, "I get along with most of them through humor and hopefully they're learning."

Recent changes to the AP and Honors program have resulted in an opening up of those classes to more people. Those who previously would have been limited because of not completing extensive pre-requisites or being GATE-identified earlier now can sign up for higher level courses. Opinions on these changes vary among teachers, staff, and students.

Honors teachers hosted a meeting with prospective students today to explain the programs.

This year, my friends and I chose to ditch prom and go to "POP 2010: The Dream" instead, a huge concert/rave/sweaty pile of humans held at the Cow Palace in Daly City. We arrived in style, decked out in lace and glitter and ready to dance, only to find a line of hundreds of people. The wait seemed forever, however half naked people of all shapes and sizes and bizarre costumes were entertainment enough.

From wikipedia:
Chester Arthur Burnett (June 10, 1910 – January 10, 1976), better known as Howlin' Wolf, was an influential American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.
With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Burnett is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues; musician and critic Cub Koda declared, "no one could match Howlin' Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits." Many songs popularized by Burnett—such as "Smokestack Lightnin'," "Back Door Man" and "Spoonful"—have become standards of blues and blues rock.
