LOGAN, IL  (Illinois High School Glory Days.  Please click on the ling above for the full story.  Here is an excerpt below.)

The Logan Grade School gym in 2016. The gym is used for AAU games at times. Center is Dave Brown who recently coached at Carterville High school. This picture was grabbed from long time Logan Grade school coach, and now AAU coach Bobby Melvin’s Facebook page.

Hannaford (population 55) is located in far south-central Illinois in the southeast portion of Franklin County.  County Road 20 is the mnain roadway through Hannaford as Illinois Route 34 passes by the northeast side of town.  The website of www.mapquest.com lists a small hamlet of Logan on the northeast side of Hannaford too.  We are told that Hannaford is also known as Logan and at one time was called Smothersville.  The 2000 Illinois Census only lists the town of Hannaford however.  The population of 55 is disputed as well, there may be about 200 actual residents of Hannaford.

The history of the Logan School in Hannaford is in need of research.  We do know that K – 8 classes were held at the school at one time.  If high school classes were offered, we believe it was probably no more than a two-year high school.  We are in need of your assistance to verify any of this information. 
Logan Grade School competed in the Little 6 Conference.  Different schools were members of the conference over the years, but they included Akin, Ewing-Northern, Thompsonville, Creal Springs, Crab Orchard, Galatia, Pickneyville District 204.  ,Mulkeytown and Hurst-Bush Grade Schools were also members of the conference at one time..
