    Homecoming is a pretty fo

    type of school event, Kim K

    said. There really isnt a specific

    code: as long as things are covere

    and nothing can be seen, girls and

    wish. Its typical to wear a nice

    or skirt and blouse for girls and s

    and dress shirts for guys. We

    shirt, but its up to the wearer o

    clothing.

    Reporter

    This school year marks the 30th

    anniversaryfor Clements High

    School.

    Five current teachers have been here

    since the beginning. They are FredSteinkamp, Phyllis Worsham, Nancy

    Liscum, Jimmy Klemstein, and John

    Furlow. They recall the first years.

    Clements was very different in a

    sense that because we were the first

    here we were able to establish all the

    traditions, Worsham said.

    Clements has also had many changes

    as it has grown. The auditorium and

    show barn we know today was non-

    existent at the time. They were builtmany years later. There was no softball

    field, science or second band hall.

    Originally, floors were covered with

    carpet, but in the 90s, hard surfaced

    floors replaced the carpeting.

    During the opening week of that

    first year, faculty and students were

    surprisingly welcomed by a hurricane

    that blew off a large chunk of the

    roof. The carpeted hallways were all

    wet. Some wondered about the fate of

    1, 2, 3... Its all in the NUMBER

    a school that opened in disaster. They

    should not have worried. CHS

    consistently ranks tops in academics for

    the state and district.The surrounding environment has

    changed. Now fully engulfed by

    neighborhoods and streets, when CHS

    opened, there was lots of open spaces and

    some very different types of inhabitants.

    When I would drive up early in the

    morning, I would see deer, coyotes, and

    many other types of wildlife right here on

    the campus, said Klemstein. We were

    a much more rural school at the time.

    PERSPECTIVES

    By: ZAHRA KHERAJ

    Reporter

    With the upcoming election, the

    uestion of who would be best to lead

    he United States is going through the

    minds of most Americans. The big

    ebate is between Democrat BarackObama and Republican Mitt Romney,

    nd while both promise to bring change

    o America, Obama is the one who may

    ctually come through and bring about

    etter benefits for the people of the

    United States.

    President Obama took office when the

    ountry was in one of the worst economic

    rises since the Great Depression, a

    me when seven hundred thousand

    obs were being lost each month.

    Americas economy is definitely better

    han it was four years ago, and although

    t has not been completely fixed, it is

    making its way back.

    Obama has done many things to benefit

    middle class America. For example, the

    tudent Aid and Fiscal Responsibility

    Act itself draws in many young voters.

    The goal of the act is to reduce interest

    ates on student loans and to make it

    asier for families to apply for college

    nancial aid.

    The Affordable Care Act, or Obama

    Care, is one of the most well known

    cts that have been placed in the last

    our years under President Obama. The

    main purpose of this act is to provide

    ffordable health insurance to all United

    States citizens. People that have any sort

    of medical condition cannot be deprived

    of coverage or be dropped. College

    students can also stay on their parents

    plan until they are 26, rather than 18.

    Although this plan has increased taxes

    for some, it can make a life-changingdifference in the lives of others.

    Obama also came into office while

    America was at war with Iraq and

    Afghanistan. Under Obama, American

    troops were finally able to come home

    and are continuing to do so. President

    Obama has made it a goal to welcome

    veterans with the respect and honor that

    they deserve. He has never ignored the

    troops, doing his best to give them the

    best benefits. The Veterans Skills to Jobs

    Act has made a huge impact on military

    families by making it so that no veteran

    has to fight for a job when he returns

    home from overseas.

    Obama also walked into a collapsing

    auto industry. The President loaned

    around ten billion dollars to Chrysler,

    helping take it out of bankruptcy and

    creating a milestone for the auto industry.

    The loan President Obama chose to give

    became a lifeline for the industry, saving

    the jobs of thousands of Americans.Chrysler has paid back much of the

    loans, turning this into a success

    story that not many would haveexpected. The industry has

    turned around for the better

    thanks to Obama.

    In his speech at the Repub

    National Convention, Romney sai

    if elected, he would create 12 m

    jobs to bring back the economy

    ensure an education and retire

    The majority of his speech consist

    what Obama could not do, what Oshould have been doing, and him s

    that he will be able to do what O

    had failed to in the past four years

    The circumstances of the co

    that Romney would be coming

    are extremely different from

    one the United States was in w

    Obama first took office. To e

    that Obama would have Am

    completely recovered from all

    was happening four years ago w

    By BIANCA NAVIA

    Reporter

    There is no denying that present day

    America is not what the Founding

    Fathers envisioned. Unemployments rampant, the economy is plunging at

    a dangerous rate, illegal immigration

    s out of control, and the national debt

    has racked up to values in the sixteen

    trillions and counting. That being said,

    people have to wonder if there is any

    way for America to return to its former

    greatness, wealth and credibility or if it

    will forever remain a failure.

    The American people must have

    thought there was a silver lining fortheir deteriorating country four years

    ago when they elected President

    Barack Obama, a man teeming with

    fresh, invigorating ideas of hope and

    change. Four years later, the only hope

    Republicans and many Democrats alike

    have is that Obama never steps foot in

    the White House, much less the Oval

    Office, again. His four years in office

    can be summarized in the single word

    spending.

    Now, what this nation really needs

    is a president with financial expertise,

    a strategy for creating new jobs, and

    some decent sense on how to budget the

    countrys checkbook.

    The salvation to Americas problemsand its brilliant commander in chief is in

    a bottle labeled Romney and Ryan. Take

    two for the best results.

    Mitt Romney: Who is this man? He

    is a business owner, father, grandfather,

    governor, fiscal conservative, and the

    Republican Partys candidate in the

    running to become the next president of

    the United States. Paul Ryan: Who is he?

    He is a father, Wisconsin congressman,

    author of the Roadmap to AmericasFuture, fiscal conservative, and the

    vice president to Mitt Romney. These

    two ambitious men provide the only

    path to reducing the deficit, rebuilding

    the economy, cultivating job growth,

    preserving the fundamentals of the

    Constitutions capitalism, and bringing

    America into the light of its former

    glory.

    Romneys plan to revitalize the

    economy is simple and includes creating

    jobs, jobs and more jobs. He wants to

    encourage small businesses to hire and

    expand by not taxing them heavily. He

    wants businesses who have taken their

    manufacturing companies overseas to

    come back to America. Doing so will

    generate job opportunities for those who

    are unemployed in the States. If those

    who are unemployed are suddenly

    earning wages, they in turn will

    pay taxes and will no longer need

    government assistance. The more

    people paying taxes, the quicker

    Americans can bring down the

    national deficit. It is a win-win

    for the nation.

    Romney is adamant about

    repealing ObamaCare. To brea

    down, ObamaCare basically put

    governmentin charge of an individ

    healthcare. First of all, the govern

    should not have any business meddin a persons health. Secondly,

    most importantly, what will ha

    if ObamaCare is around for an

    four years and no actions are t

    to repeal it? In the event that

    occurs, get ready to say good-by

    free enterprise, and hello to a

    something the Europeans like to

    socialism. Once the American pe

    give the government power, the

    no taking it back.ObamaCare has also proven t

    a detriment to seniors. A signifi

    portion of ObamaCare is funde

    digging into the Medicare progr

    money, and the repercussion of

    will affect older citizens when the

    to see doctors.

    One should think of the seniors b

    denied service in a doctors o

    because the office refuses to

    patients with Medicare.

    Immense job growth and repe

    ObamaCare are just two of Romn

    logical and practical goals to

    America into shape. Being

    entrepreneur and running m

    successful, profitable busin

    Did you hear about that haunted place?

    It is around this time of year that the

    rumors begin to circulate like wildfires.

    Houses suddenly become haunted,

    wind is thought to be the dead ris-ng to open doors and lift blankets off

    people, lights abruptly go out and sto-

    ries rise from the ashes like phoenixes.

    But who would have guessed that this

    suburban, usually mundane city has so

    many of these stories, just sitting around

    and waiting to be recounted on Hallow-

    een? The Houston metropolitan area

    seems to be teeming with the supernatural.

    A cemetery is usually a place to pay

    your respects, hold funerals, and leavesome flowers, maybe a memento. It is a

    place of resting usually. But the Blue

    Light Cemetery is home of the mys-

    erious blue glow. This phenomenon

    has been interpreted as the people bur-

    ed in the ground coming back to send

    a message to their visitors, and some-

    imes, it is even reported to be a de-

    mon. But what could that message be?

    The story of the Blue Light cemetery

    s a rather famous one. And though manysuch cemeteries are supposedly the Blue

    Light Cemetery, the real one is not liter-

    ally called Blue Light. That is just a

    nickname for Tetter Cemetery, which

    s located off FM 1960 and Cy-

    presswood. Tetter Cemetery was estab-

    ished back in the 1800s and has been

    closed off to the public for quite some

    ime now due to parties, vandalism, and

    most interesting of all, late night satan-

    c meetings on the historical property.The very name describes the phe-

    nomenon of the cemetery, but is it truly

    a phenomenon? Is it the demon in the

    egend that was released long ago dur-

    ng a satanic worship meeting? Or is it

    simply because material used for making

    he grave markers has phosphoric prop-

    erties, causing the stones to glow in the

    dark? Either way, the mystery was in-

    triguing enough to land a feature on Un-

    solved Mysteries back in the 1980s.

    The First Pagan Church of Houston. at

    903 Welch St. is also said to be haunted.For years this beautiful house has had

    the reputation of having been the site

    of many animal sacrifices. The cult oc-

    cupying the place was evicted in 1974.

    However, the problems do not stop there.

    During a renovation of the old house,

    one worker was struck by an unseen

    force. Another one reported hav-

    ing had strange recurring nightmares,

    LIFESTYLES

    Fashion week showcases fall favesy ZAINAB DHANANIfestyles EditorWith the changing colors of leaves

    d the dawn of fall come new fashion

    ends for the upcoming season.

    mmer has come and departed, and

    is means the time for tanks and

    orts has also ended. New trends

    ve been showcased at designers

    est fashion shows, including some

    om summer that have remained,d newer more jaw-dropping ones.

    new season is time for change and

    fferent weather, but a new season

    eans much more to fashion lovers

    erywhere. A new season is a time to

    er ones style to it with the current

    ends and experiment with a variety

    colors, fabrics, and prints.

    ften when one thinks of summer, one

    mediately thinks of bright colors.

    hen fall rolls around, people tend toink of lighter, not so bright colors,

    d often associate this idea with the

    lors of their wardrobe. This seasons

    shion is full of bright hues, which

    ay surprise some people. As seen

    Glamourmagazine, to incorporate

    ight hues appropriately during the

    l, mix the basic color of black and

    ight tones for an outit. Some ideas

    r this is a bright-colored dress with

    ack leggings or a black head-to-toesemble with bright accessories.

    The navy blue and black color

    mbination is one of the hottest color

    mbinations of the season. Designers

    e Carolina Herrera, Donna Karan,

    d Marc Jacobs have showcased

    is trend through dresses and pant

    its at their fashion shows. As MarieClaire says, this is the it

    color combination of the

    season. Giving a chic and

    simple feel, the navy blue and black

    is a perfect neutral combination, yet

    still staying unique, as it is a trendier

    alternative to the all black ensemble.

    Imagine jewelry being a part of a

    blouse or dress. Thats exactly what

    the new trend of the statement collar

    is. As Glamour says, the bedazzled

    collar is a perfect way to polish an

    outit. Detachable collars are a great

    option to splurge on, and can be addedon to any plain tops and dresses.

    When it comes to shoes, the early part

    of the decade is back. Pointy pumps

    are a hot new staple that can be a nice

    alternative to the classic peep toe heels.

    Invest in a pair of pointy pumps which

    will go a long way, as these shoes are

    perfect to wear on capris, skinny jeans,

    skirts, and dresses.

    Metallic is another trend that was

    spotted at fashion week. A touch ofmetallic on one article of clothing or

    a metallic accessory can really spark

    up an outit and add that, sometimes

    necessary, inishing touch. Rag & Bone

    featured a stunning copper-colored

    blazer with a touch of gold metallic.

    Aside from metallic blazers, metallic

    pants are very in style right now, illing

    the shelves of stores and boutiques

    everywhere. Metallic adds glam to

    an outit, but make sure to limit toonly one metallic article of clothing or

    accessory.

    Adding a few trends to your fall

    wardrobe can easily revamp your style

    almost immediately. Get your tanks

    and shorts out, and bring your coats

    and new colors in!

    A big trend for the fall season is mixing

    brights with neutrals, and a basic cardigan

    will always remain a fall classic Photo by: Devika Singh

    Every football team has a game plan,

    d the Rangers are no different. If it

    carried out perfectly and as expected,

    ams win.

    The game plan is to play good defense

    d run the football, said Keith Knowles,

    ad football coach.

    Another factor that may determine how

    ell the season ends is the strengths and

    eaknesses of the team.

    Our biggest strength is our team,

    weakness is our inexperience. That will

    take care of itself as the season

    goes on.

    There are also a few

    new things this

    14

    season, such as

    the new theme

    this year: We R

    1. There has

    wardrobe change as well.

    Our helmet decal has changed,

    Knowles said.

    Knowles expects the team to compete

    for the district championship. Ifenough of the conference games are

    won, the football team could adv

    to the championship game and

    the chance to be this years di

    champion.

    Last season, the team fell sho

    winning most of its games, bu

    Rangers will now has another seas

    show that they still have what it

    to win. Knowles expects that the

    will have a good seasoncompar

    last year.

    The homecoming gam

    November with the Rangers pla

    against the Austin Bulldogs is m

    anticipated. The football team

    continue to press forward and repr
