NEWSEnd of Course exams to experience changes in rule, grade points affectedBy CHANDNI THAKKARAds Editor With the most hectic time of the year soon approaching, the new EOC testing for sophomores and freshman does not seem to make things easier. It has been determined that “The EOC assessments will NOT count as 15% of a student’s final grade for this year. Note: This change involves freshman and sophomore students taking EOC assessments,” as per a district email. According to officials, the purpose of the EOC is to measure a students’ academic performance in core classes and to become part of graduation requirements. Also, the way grade points work has changed. Originally,grade points and

credit for classes were awarded based on the final average and not semester grades. However, it is now different. Grade points will be earned through semester grades unless the final average is better, in which case the final average will count toward credit. Credit for classes is only awarded if a student’s final average is a 70 or higher. If a student passes one semester and not the other, and the average of the two is below a seventy, credit is only given for the semester passed. As many people have already heard, EOC tends to be a bit more challenging than TAKS. The test covers material from the whole year, not just a semester. Therefore it seems to prove most beneficial to review a little bit. The exam lasts for

four hours. Even if some people finish early, they are expected to remain silent in order to keep from distracting other

By REBECCA PLUNKETTManaging Editor The CHS Global Studies Academy will take an active role to enhance understanding of issues around the world through the first-ever human rights conference in Sugar Land titled the Global Issues Summit. The first Sugar Land summit of its kind, the purpose of this initiative will be to spread awareness about a range of global concerns to students around the community. “Many students look forward to majoring in international studies, global business, and/or global health. With this experience, students in our academy and other community

students who are still testing.

GSA hosts Sugar Land summit, spreads global issue awareness

members will see the world from a more global perspective,” said Karim Farishta, GSA student. The Global Issues Summit will be a conference held on Saturday, April 20, 2013 in the Clements High School Auditorium from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. According to organizers, the format will be very similar to a TED conference. The Summit will present information through first-hand accounts, organizational speakers, audiovisual documentaries and performances. Summit topics will include: refugee situations, child soldiers, literacy, malnutrition, extreme poverty,Immigration, disaster relief,

gender rights, human trafficking, discrimination, and torture victims. There will also be a portion of the program dedicated to success stories. Afterwards, there will be booths set up representing various organizations where guests can learn more. Refreshments will be provided in between sessions. Admission is free and all high school students, their families, and community members are invited. For more information, students and the public can contact Anne Beckman, Global Studies Academy coordinator, Nicole Bernardino, publicity, or visit http://clementsgsa.wix.com/globalissuessummitt.

Theatre looks forward to success at UIL competiton

By YASMEEN YAHYACo-editor-in-chief The theater students are teaming up with certain brave teachers for a brand new event, “Dancing with the Staff,” to be held Friday, April 5 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. The joint venture is being held in order to raise funds for the theater department and the faculty fund. Dancing pairs will compete with each other to see who can come out on

top with the audience voting the final decision that night. Theater students will dance with faculty members. The following pairs have been announced: Christine Badillo and Francesca Ghizzoni, MelanieCarroll and Erin Hayes, John Damon and Elaine Fisher, Mike Madden and Laura Cuervo, Mary Matysiak and Carter Shults, Linsey McCoun and Kerric Thompson, Emily Golden and Sabrina Sha, Michele Hart and

Lauren Graessle, Ginger Stone and Max Friedman, Eno Usanga and Maddie Rarick, Ricardo Garcia and Cara Smith, and Jeff Faust and Emily Starling. Both faculty and students are excited about their dance routines and have been practicing to be the best. Proceeds will be split between the two groups and the money will be spent to offset regular expenditures and help with budget cuts.

Brave faculty to dance night away

By SAHAR BAIGCopy Editor Accompanied by fervent applause, the curtain finally rises. The performers take the stage and immediately feel a surge of passion and pride. They have spent countless hours rehearsing at school in addition to many more hours spent practicing lines at home. All that work comes down to this. This is what actors live for. Here at Clements, band, orchestra, and choir all toil away, preparing for their respective UIL competitions. The UIL theatre competition is extremely competitive, much like other UIL competitions. Each performance piece must only have one act, and has to be within a certain time limit. The first level of competition pits schools from the same zone against each other. The winner of that competition advances to district, and so on. The goal of each show’s cast is to go to the state competition.

So far this year, the theatre department has put on shows like “Noises Off” and “Guys and Dolls.” Next, they are tackling a show called “Charley’s Aunt.” It is a story about two college students named Jack and Charley. In order to impress their girlfriends, they persuade their friend, Babbs, to masquerade as Charley’s aunt. The rest of the play chronicles the resulting events. A comedy, the show relies heavily on physicality for humor. Sienna Mendez, sophomore,is cast as an understudy. She has been acting since she was in fifth grade, and she played Kate in last year’s UIL play. “It was an absolutely amazing experience, and probably my favorite role I’ve ever played,” she said. “I love theatre because it’s an escape from real life into this character that you get to create. Just making the character is amazing because you have to

do so much to discover everything about your character from how they walk to where they were born to what they’re thinking when they say each line. For every role I play, I spend hours and hours figuring out every detail of that character’s life.” Lauren Graessle, junior, has participated in UIL plays since her freshman year, when she was cast as an understudy. This year, she is a stage manager for the first time. As stage manager, her responsibilities include keeping track of all the stage movement, props, costume changes and cues. “I like the competition and the people and how you get to travel. It is probably the most fun show,” Graessle sad. Before the cast competes at the zone competition, they held a free public performance on March 7. This year, the cast has every intention of putting on an extraordinary show.

PERSPECTIVES

By OLIVIA HIXSONReporter After the tragic shooting at Sandy Hooke Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, all of America has reflected on the cause of this incident as well as what can be done in the future to prevent tragedies like this from happening again. Congress is fully aware of the fact that strengthening gun control laws might breach the second amendment, which says that all American citizens have the right to bear arms. There have even been rumors that Congress will eliminate the amendment completely. First of all, eliminating the second amendment will not help matters; it will only make things worse. Creating a new law stating that ordinary citizens cannot own weapons is ridiculous. As the definition says, a criminal is someone who breaks the law. What makes Congress think that the criminals would choose to follow this law if they do not follow any other ones? Second, citizens need to be protected. As much as we do not want to believe it, there is always that possibility that someone will break into our houses or that they will attempt to assault us. If we are law-abiding citizens, and the criminals have stolen weapons, there is not a way for us to defend ourselves. Weapons already give criminals enough power to attack us, but even more so when we do not have any sort of weapon to defend ourselves with. People should not blame guns for violent crimes people commit. First

of all, guns are inanimate objects. Guns cannot think for themselves, nor can they sprout legs and run around shooting people. Try setting a gun flat on a table, and see if it goes off by itself with the intention of killing you. It will never happen. As cliché as it has become, guns do not kill people; people kill people. People think for themselves, meaning that some choose to kill others. Also, the fact that the government has chosen to believe that guns are the only means of attacking individuals is ridiculous. An assault is “a violent physical or verbal attack,” as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary states. Guns do not possess the ability to talk. Yes, guns can aid in a physical attack, but they cannot, in any way, help in a verbal attack. If the government wants to eliminate assaults, then maybe they should eliminate everything that can be used as a weapon such as scissors, knives, hair bands, the Internet, phones, pencils, etc. The most violent attacks on the U.S. in recent history were the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City and the use of planes on 9/11. One involved fertilizer and the other box cutters. No guns played a role. If the government is so concerned with peoples’ safety, maybe they should just take away everyone’s possessions because virtually everything can be used as a weapon. Even bare hands or mouths can be used to assault others. So go ahead Congress; cut out your citizens’ vocal cords and chop off their hands. Take away all of their belongings. People intent on killing will still kill.

Gun control: Two reporters take their standBy ZAHRA KHERAJReporter The recent shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Lone Star College, and many other places all around the United States have sparked yet another controversy: guns or no guns? In the United States more than 6,000 people are killed from handguns each year. Many criminals can legally obtain guns, bringing the issue of how a background check should be made on a person as they purchase a firearm. The United States only makes up 4.5 per cent of the world population, yet it accounts for about 40 per cent of the world’s civilian firearms. America has more gun-related deaths than any

world. Sixty percent of the United States’ homicides happen by the use of a firearm. Steps need to be taken to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands and having a repeat of tragic events. The Constitution was written in a way that would benefit the people of that time and address the issues of that time. The laws we enforce now need to be able to benefit the country and prevent mass shootings from happening. The government has proposed a new bill concerning gun control. The bill will require background checks on all sales on firearms, including private sales, and banning assault weapons that are military style. Ammunition sales will also be limited to ten rounds and the consequences

of gun trafficking will be more severe. The president also signed a series of executive actions intended to strengthen existing laws, increase mental health measures, and promote federal research on gun crimes. As the debate over gun control continues, more and more people are potential victims to another mass shooting. Actions that can be made to make any difference should be taken. The nation cannot afford to have events such as Sandy Hook Elementary

played out again. Essentially, stronger regulations on guns

will ensure that the people’s best

interests are at heart.other developed country in the

Senior SpotlightsFuture chemical engineer enjoys family time

World’s a stage for this actor-singerBy DELFINA BARBIEROVoices Editor David Catalano started singing in choir as a freshman, with passion like no other for music. His four years in high school influenced him to continue to study mu-sic. His friends and his passion are what helps him through high school, and are his main sources of inspiration to become a musician. Something else that inspires him is a quote he frequently remembers. “A quote I think about a lot is one that my grandma used to tell me: ‘If you work twice as hard, you’ll learn twice as much,’” said Catalano. All this hard work is paying off for him as he applies to his colleg-es of choice. He is planning to major in vocal performance and business. “Right now, my top four choices for college are the University of Illinois, USC, SMU, and Baylor,” said Catalano. He hopes to one day be able to share his music with the world. As president of choir and an actor in the school’s musical, Guys and Dolls, he is savoring every sec-

ond of senior year with his friends who have been with him since freshman year. Although this is his final year of high school, Catalano took a chance and start-ed trying new things, such as becom-ing involved in theatre. He describes his experiences. He said he has learned the kindness and warmth the theater troop has toward new members, and of their funny personalities that make this new experience even more enjoyable. While theatre is like a new home to him, choir is his true home as he looks up to the instructors that brought them to be the best choir in state. “I strongly encourage all kids, not just freshman, to join an organization like choir or theatre. Academics are impor-tant, but being a part of an organization, club, or sports team is really, what makes high school special. That is where you meet people who will become your clos-est friends in high school,” said Catalano. However, what he has cherished most through his years of high school is his family. They have always been

there and encouraged him to fol-low whatever his dreams might be. With the strength he finds in his family and the friendship he has acquired during his high school career, he hopes to be re-membered as someone who is charismatic. “I hope that after I leave Clements, people will remember me as someone they could always be comfortable be-ing themselves around.” said Catalano.

By KASEY VOLLMERINGAds Editor Manuela Builes is not just an average stu-dent. She is a part of color guard, student council, Habitat for Humanity, and Deca.

“I’ve always enjoyed competing and work-ing hard. Being a part of these organizations gives me that,” said Manuela Builes, senior. She has been in color guard since she was a freshman. She has really enjoyed the ex-perience and feels that all of the members apart of color guard are like a family to her. Last year, Builes was the social officer and this year she is one of the co-captains. This senior is a family person. She has three siblings. She has an older brother who graduated from Clements in 2008 and recent-ly graduated from UT. She also has an older sister who graduated in 2010 from Clements and who is currently a junior at Rice Uni-versity. And lastly, she has a little brother in first grade at Colony Meadows Elementary. “I am a family person, and I’ve always loved traveling with them. We are all from Colombia and we go there every two years. We have also been all around the United States together. When we are not traveling we like to have family nights where we have dinner or watch a movie

or play some type of game,” said Builes. For fun she loves to hang out with her friends, go shopping, watch movies and read. When she is not doing any of those things, she is studying. She has taken hon-ors and AP classes all of her high school ca-reer because she likes challenging herself. “The course work hasn’t been easy but there isn’t a single class that I’ve regretted taking,” said Builes. After graduating, she plans on attend-ing college and then becoming a chemi-cal engineer and hopefully one day run-ning her own company. Her top choice for college right now is Rice University, but she also applied to Duke, Vanderbilt, USC and UT. She has already been accepted into A&M and the University of Houston. “I would tell future seniors that your last year is when you should work your hardest,”Builes said. “Most seniors will give up due to seniori-tis, so you can improve your rank and GPA if you work hard. Also I would tell them to enjoy their senior year as much as possible.”

Rodeo culture, traditions last through timeBy AQSA MUNIRAReporter The rodeo may be nearly over, but it is far from being done with forever. With performances and competitions, the rodeo is rich history that has thrived for a little more than a century. The rodeo was not always glorified in America, nor was it an American tradi-tion. It slowly evolved from the practices of Spanish ranchers and their ranch hands, also known as vaqueros. Modern day ro-deo customs emerged after the Texas Revo-

lution, when Anglo cowboys learned the practices of the aforementioned vaqueros. These rodeos were competitions between different ranches, and includeded bronco rid-ing, bull riding and roping contests. They soon became important events in communities. But it was William F. Cody, who held one of the largest rodeos of the time, in Nebraska in 1882, along with the Wild West Show. e generally focused on the Wild West Show, leaving oth-ers to develop the rodeos that are held today. The rodeo almost died out in World War I, but it was brought back by Tex Austin, an American rodeo promoter, in Madison Square. It quickly gained international fame,

and was succeeded by the London Rodeo in 1924, which was a huge success as well. Despite his success, Austin lost control over the Madison Square Rodeo. William T. Johnson took over and began producing ro-deos indoor arenas, which changed the sport. Not only did he enable the rodeo to thrive the Great Depression, but he also led to the average cowboy’s income being higher teachers, dentists and even some actors. In the 1920s and 30s, rodeo tours were held all over: in Northeast America, Eu-

rope, Cuba, South America, and the Far East. However, these tours are now a thing of the past. There is still a rodeo subculture in New Zealand and Austra-lia, but only a few people from these countries travel to America to compete. In 1936, a group of 60 cowboys at the Bos-ton Garden Rodeo became angry and staged a walk out and refused to compete. They returned once their demands were met, and they banded together and called themselves the Cowboy Turtles association. They called themselves “turtles” because they were “slow to organize, but finally stuck their necks out.” In 1975, the Rodeo Cowboys Associa-

tion became the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). Now there is even an as-sociation for children called the National Little Britches Rodeo Association. Rodeo business is now at the same level as NFL and NBA. There are not only sporting events, but hor-ticulture competitions, in which people make flower arrangements in an aesthetically appeal-ing fashion. The carnival also involves the La Grande Wheel, the largest portable ferris wheel in the Western Hemisphere. These carnivals also have sheep dog trials, horse shows, an In-

ternational Day and for food lovers there is the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest. The rodeo is once again making a come-back on a global scale. In the 2012 Houston Rodeo, there were guests from 55 countries. The real highlight for many people tends to be the performers. This year’s rodeo includes performers such as Lady Antebellum, Bruno Mars, Tim McGraw, Pitbull and many more. These concerts not only draw more atten-tion to the rodeo, but also increase revenue. Today, rodeos are more talked about in the media and are once again a global oc-currence with a history and a way of life unlike anything else in American history.

By AMANDA THOMASReporter Top Spring Break destinations

By LAURYN MERRIETTVoices Editor One dessert to try is Coconut Nest Cupcakes. To make it, get one and a half cups of flour, three cups cake flour, two and one fourth teaspoons baking powder, one and a half teaspoons coarse salt, two and one fourth sticks butter, two and one fourth cups sugar, six eggs, two cups of buttermilk, two teaspoons vanilla extract, vanilla butter cream, three cups shredded coconut, and candy coated chocolate eggs. First, preheat the oven to 350 and line 40 standard muffin cups with cupcake liners. Next, whisk the flours, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Then, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Afterwards add eggs one at a

time. Reduce speed to low and add flour mix and buttermilk. Beat in the vanilla until the batter is smooth and thick. Fill muffin cups halfway and bake 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, use an ice cream scooper to scoop butter

cream on the cooled cupcakes and shredded coconut on top. Press in two chocolate eggs on each one and the dessert is done. Another great recipe for chocolate lovers is Fudge Truffle Eggs. This recipe calls for two cups of chocolate

chips, one container of chocolate frosting, one teaspoon vanilla, one fourth cup creamy peanut butter or marshmallow crème, and one package of vanilla or chocolate candy coating. In a large uncovered microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips on high for one minute and stir until melted. Next, microwave frosting, also uncovered, for 20 seconds, and then stir into the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then drop the chocolate mixture onto wax paper lined cookie sheets, flatten, and spoon one fourth of either marshmallow crème or peanut butter in the center. Fold the chocolate mixture over the filling and freeze for 30 minutes. Microwave the candy coating uncovered for one to one and a half minutes until smooth and dip eggs in the coating using a fork. Lastly, refrigerate for 10 minutes and they are ready to go.

Calling all zodiac sign junkies: what will March be like for you? By BIANCA NAVIA Reporter ARIES: Love is in the air at the end of the month. Or maybe it’s just that awful smelling Axe cologne some guys bathe in after gym. Anywho….a friend of a friend reveals his or her true feelings for you. Scorpio plays an important role in your life this month and Scorpio wants screen credits for his or her efforts, along with a car and driver.

TAURUS: Your tendency to keep quiet pays off in the beginning of the month. A close friend needs to talk and reveals personal information. Your confidence will be appreciated. You will be greatly rewarded for your threat of blackmail. When it comes to romance, you’ll have to make a decision. Think about where you stand in that special relationship.

GEMINI: While your teacher may seem too conservative for you, he or she really has your best interests at heart. Sure. They all do. This is Clements. You need to look out for yourself when it comes to your personal life. It will feel like everyone is against you. Bwaa haaa haa! They are!

CANCER: Don’t be the first to volunteer for a new project at school. However, you should take a chance when it comes to romance. Don’t wait for that intriguing person to ask you out. Make the first move. Jump out from around the corner and proclaim your love so the entire English hallway can hear.

LEO: Your sympathetic side will be called on early in the month. A loved one needs you to listen and give moral support. Be honest, but caring. Don’t file your nails or play video games, pretending to listen while saying, “mm hmm” when appropriate. Give in to your desires and shower yourself in luxury this month. Get an extra roll in the cafeteria line….heck, get two!

VIRGO: While you usually like to be alone, working as a team this month will make things so much easier. You’ll share a lot of good ideas and actually make some close friends. They will love it when you do all the work on that project and then let them get all the credit.

LIBRA: Seek harmony at school this month, and I’m not talking about joining choir. Don’t get involved in petty squabbles with friends. If you are going to squabble, reserve the squabbling for a huge squabble matter that is worth squabbling about. By the way, I love to use the word squabble. Relax a little this month. Take a deep breath. Now hold it until I tell you to breathe.

SCORPIO: It’s your nature to tell the truth, so stick to it. Don’t be tempted to embellish; it will backfire. Embellish – an SAT word which means “lie like a rug.” An old friend will resurface and want to begin a relationship. Follow your heart. Have you ever wondered about that phrase? Isn’t your heart in your chest and doesn’t it naturally go where you go? And how high is up?

SAGITTARIUS: Be frank when a close friend asks for your opinion. Then duck quickly if it is the wrong opinion, because your friend has a wicked left hook. While the truth may not be what he or she wants to hear, it’s what he or she needs to hear, says I who will not be hit. Your romantic life slows down this month, but this break will give you time to relax and focus on yourself.

CAPRICORN: Don’t be shy when it comes to meeting new people this month. But if you stand in front of the school greeting everyone each morning, you might look a little weird or even worse. It may seem as if you are making fun of Mrs. Trunk. Your sweet, sensitive side will endear you to someone with a lot of connections.

AQUARIUS: A relationship moves into high gear when you realize how much you have in common with that special someone. You both love chess, you both love medieval sword fighting, and you both adore translating passages of text from original Greek. Hmmm…could you both be in the top ten percent?

PISCES: Slow down this month, because it will feel as if your entire world is closing in on you. This is called claustrophobia or the fear of small, enclosed places…..like school. Not to worry though……SPRING BREAK IS HERE!

SPORTSRetracing the tracks: Spring

season resumes once againBy RABAB ZEHRASports Editor This track season, Clements rangers are determined to achieve victory through hard work and practice. “We really hope to win as much as we possibly can,” said Kendall Yates, junior. Clements track team is known for their achievements in the past years, and they are determined to keep up their victory streak. A lot of tournaments are going to be coming up, so the Rangers are practicing. This year’s coaches are: Coach Gaston, history teacher; Coach Anderson, English teacher; and Coach Oakley, science teacher. “I am very excited to coach track this year,” said Anderson. Kendall Yates has been running track since middle school and all throughout the three years she’s been in high school. She has won many medals in the previous years and has achieved a lot in athletics. “I have been running for as long as I can remember and I enjoy it a lot,” said Yates. In order to prepare for track, one needs to have determination and strength.

D a v i d Wi lk inson , posses both of these qualities. As a senior this year, Wilkinson ran cross country. He finds running enduring and inspiring. “I enjoy the atmosphere of it,” said Wilkinson, senior.

District meets and other tournaments such as State are very tough competitions but the Rangers always manage to come through. This type of achievement is only achieved through long hard after school & before school practices. Coach Anderson helps with practice after school. A few of the athletes include, Kendall Yates, junior; Brooks Clingman, junior; Adonis Buenlos, junior; Asna Rupani, junior; and David Wilkinson, senior. Rupani has been in track for two years now. The team environment is good according to Rupani because everyone helps each other at improving “Running has always been a

relaxer for me so I enjoy being able to run with my friends and doing what I love,” said Rupani. “I plan on running next year as well.” Hopefully this season will be eventful and memorable for last year seniors and in general for the Rangers.
