NEWSEnd of Course exams to experiencechanges in rule, grade points affectedBy CHANDNI THAKKAR

Ads 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 studentsfinal 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 students final average is a 70or 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 fin

Theatre looks forward tosuccess at UIL competiton

By YASMEEN YAHYA

Co-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 andFrancesca Ghizzoni, Melanie

Carroll and Erin Hayes, John Damon

Accompanied by fervent

applause, the curtain finally rises.

The performers take the stage

and immediately feel a surge of

passion and pride. They havespent 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. Eachperformance 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 shows 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 Charleys

Aunt. It is a story about two

college students named Jack andCharley. In order to impress their

girlfriends, they persuade their

friend, Babbs, to masquerade

as Charleys 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 lastyears UIL play.

It was an absolutely amazing

experience, and probably my

favorite role Ive ever played,

she said. I love theatre because

its 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 theyre thinking

when they say each line. For

every role I play, I spend hours

and hours figuring out everydetail of that characters 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 thepeople 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.

PERSP

ECTIVES

By OLIVIA HIXSON

Reporter

After the tragic shooting at

Sandy Hooke Elementary Schoolin 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 haveeven 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 thatthe 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, thereis 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 clich 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 individualsis 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 usedas 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 inOklahoma 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 shouldjust take away everyones 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.

orters take their stand

By ZAHRA KHERAJ

Reporter

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 madeon 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 worlds

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 mo

severe.

The president also signed a ser

of executive actions intended

strengthen existing laws, incre

mental health measures, a

promote federal research on g

crimes.

As the debate over gun cont

continues, more and more peop

are potential victims to anoth

mass shooting. Actions that c

Worlds a stage for this actor-singeBy DELFINA BARBIERO

Voices Editor

David Catalano started singing in choiras 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, youll

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 schools 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 highschool, 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

low whatever his dreams might

With the strength he finds in his fam

and the friendship he has acquired dur

his high school career, he hopes to be

membered as someone who is charisma

Manuela Builes is not just an average stu-

dent. She is a part of color guard, student

council, Habitat for Humanity, and Deca.

Ive 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 Ive 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

Rodeo culture, traditions last through timeBy AQSA MUNIRA

Reporter

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 inAmerica, 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 thrivethe Great Depression, but he also led to

the average cowboys 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 Cowb

Association (PRCA). Now there is even an

sociation for children called the National L

Britches Rodeo Association. Rodeo busi

Calling all zodiac sign junkies:

what will March be like for you?By BIANCA NAVIA

ReporterARIES: Love is in the air at the end of

the month. Or maybe its just that awful

smelling Axe cologne some guys bathe inafter 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, youll

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: Dont be the first to volunteer

for a new project at school. However,

you should take a chance when it comes

to romance. Dont 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. Dont file your nails or

play video games, pretending to listen whilesaying, 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. Youll 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 Im not talking about joining

choir. Dont 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: Its your nature to tell the

truth, so stick to it. Dont be tempted to

embellish; it will backfire. Embellish an

SAT word which means lie like a rug. A

old friend will resurface and want to begia relationship. Follow your heart. Have y

ever wondered about that phrase? Isnt y

heart in your chest and doesnt it naturall

go where you go? And how high is up?

SAGITTARIUS: Be fran

when a close friend asks f

your opinion. Then duck

quickly if it is the wrong

opinion, because your frie

has a wicked left hook.

While the truth may not b

what he or she wants to hits what he or she needs t

hear, says I who will not b

hit. Your romantic life slo

down this month, but this

break will give you time

relax and focus on yourse

CAPRICORN: Dont

be shy when it comes to

meeting new people thi

you might look a little

Retracing the tracks: Springseason resumes once againBy RABAB ZEHRA

Sports Editor

This track season, Clements

rangers are determined to

achieve victory through hard

work and practice.

We really hope to win asmuch 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 years 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 shes beenin 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 dWilk inson ,

posses both

of these

qualities. As a senior

this year, Wilkinson ran

cross country. He findsrunning enduring and

inspiring.

I enjoy the atmosphere of

it, said Wilkinson, senior.

District meets and othertournaments 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; BrooksClingman, 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 bei

I plan on running next year

well.

Hopefully this seasonwill be eventful and
