Admission will be three dollars for adults and two dollars for students and children. The play is called The Mystery at Whimbowly Manor. It is about a higher class family, the White family, from London in the 1940′s. The lady of the house loses one of her prized possessions and calls a detective in to investigate. When Bridget Baxter, the detective, arrives they think all their problems fixed. Thanks to the crazy detective their troubles have only began. The play will be great for all ages.

Victory Over Hunger Campaign

One of the many projects that the Logan High School Prayer Club is involved in accomplishing for the welfare of the school’s student body is the Victory Over Hunger Campaign. The thrid annual Victory Over Hunger Campaign will officially begin on Saturday, October 3, at the Logan Wal-Mart. The Victory Over Hunger Campaign is a multi-effort to relief hunger in the Logan County by gathering food items and monetary gifts for the Christmas holiday season. The Logan Wal-Mart, along with Chapmanville  Regional, Logan High, Logan Middle, Logan Grade, and Man High Prayer Clubs are joining forces to assist the less fortunate families in our area.  Each Saturday in October at the Logan Wal-Mart, members of the local prayer clubs will be asking for your help. The public can buy boxed or canned food or make a donation to the prayer club students that will be standing at the doors of the business. The goal of the countywide crusade is $10,000.00. The prayer club members will also be asking football fans to pitch in to this worthy cause at the local Friday night games. The funding for this project is combined with donations from local businesses, individuals, and churches. A gigantic Christmas program is presented on the second sunday in December at the Logan Middle School Gym. One-hundred and fifty Logan County low-income families with children are invited to enjoy the gifts of food, hygiene, products, blankets, clothing, toys, fruit, stockings, gift cards,Christmas cards, and Bibles that are distributed on that date. individuals,  businesses, clubs, and organizations that are interested in making a donation to this benevolent county task may contact John E. Godby, advisor to the Logan High School Prayer Club  at  (304) 752-6606 or (304) 752-7774, or you may send monetary gifts to the Logan High School Prayer Club, One Wildcat Way, Logan, WV 25601. Mr Godby is the chairperson of this joint effort. He said, “Hunger is an unforunate part of our society. By collaborating with high schools of our county, much more can be done to conqueror this social problem. I am thankful to be unified with our fellow prayer clubs and the Logan Wal-Mart associates. We can truly bring ‘good will toward men’ by participating in the Victory Over Hunger Campaign for the under priviledge folks of Logan county. Won’t you join us?”

New Teacher: Mrs. Jean Kirk

            I recently had the honor of interviewing one of our new teachers here at LHS, Mrs. Kirk. Her full name is Jean Kirk, and she is married to Joe Kirk; they have no children or pets. Mrs. Kirk is formally from Mclauren Elementary and has only been teaching for one year; she has only taught music and choir. Mrs. Kirk is a graduate from Greenbrier East High School and West Virginia University.

 

Mrs. Kirk decided to become a music teacher because she has always admired, studied, and enjoyed music and music class. Mrs. Kirk believes that her greatest strength is being a singer. She enjoys playing video games in her spare time. Due to a recent move, she is not in any clubs or organization as of right now . She hopes that this year her choir class will be able to put on a winter and spring performance. She also wants her theater class to put on a spring production. Besides teaching, Mrs. Kirk has been an usher, a janitor, waitress, and an assistant learning disorder teacher.
