We’re Going Digital!
As you may already have noticed, The Cougar Chronicle
has branched off to a new way of delivering the news. In
partnership with the new multimedia center and the
expertise of Marcello, we are now able to make mini
video segments to share upcoming news and events.
In effort to save the environment and move with the
times, we are also sending out the newspaper via email
to faculty and staff, and posting a link to a pdf version of
the paper on our school’s website and on Facebook. A
printed paper copy will continue to be sent home in the
yellow folders for all students.
We hope that you enjoy the new changes and please let
us know what you want to see and hear about in the
paper. Stop by or send us an email.

Mr. Kemp Turns 65 by Jason Levy and Yocelin Euceda
2
On Monday, October 6, Mr. Kemp turned 65 . The entire school had a tie
-themed surprise party for him in the gym. Many classes made him birth-
day cards. Max Hermann read a quote on behalf of the senior class about
how great of a leader
he is. Mr. Kemp’s wife
organized a wonderful
party with cake and ice
cream for the kids. You
can see a poster in the
cafeteria of Mr. Kemp
riding a horse, signed
by many of the stu-
dents and staff.
The New Bending iPhone 6 by Lilly Murphy and Rayhana Elharji
The Apple company has had many flaws with the
iPhone 6. There is a very big flaw: it bends. When you
put it in your pocket and sit down, there is a chance the
phone will bend. This is more likely to happen to men
since they don’t carry phones in pocketbooks like wom-
en do. Apple says, “warping is extremely rare through
normal use.” Apple also says the new iPhones are made
of special aluminum materials for extra strength. The
phones also have stainless steel and titanium inserts for
extra protection from bending. We think that when
phones bend, it is the user’s fault because they are not
using it correctly.

Farewell to Jeter
By Marcos Taveras
Derek Jeter, considered one
of the best Yankees captains
in recent times, has retired
after a 20 year career. He
made his Yankees debut on
May 29, 1995, he has been
with the Yankees ever since.
In his 20 year career, he had
1,928 runs, 3,464 hits, 260
home runs, and 1,310 RBI. He
had a .309 batting average
for his entire career. He also
has 5 World Series titles and
has appeared in 14 All-Star
games. He will most surely be
inducted Baseball Hall of
Fame. He ended his career
with a game winning home-
run on his last at bat in Yan-
kee Stadium. I wonder who
else can end their career like
Derek Jeter did. Jeter will
certainly go down in history
as one of the greatest base-
ball players of all time.
New York Mets Visit Viscardi
By Victoria O’Brien
The New York Mets visited our
school on September 15th. The
Mets players who came were 1st
baseman Lucas Duda, 2nd base-
man Daniel Murphy and pitcher
Dillion Gee. The Met’s mascot,
Mr. Met was also here. They
came to play a game of wheel-
chair baseball with some of our
students. After the game, The
Mets players took some ques-
tions that the students had. They
then handed out free T-shirts for
the entire school! A big thank
you to the New York Mets for
coming. We hope to see you
again next year.
