LA SALLE’S HOMECOMING COURT

Pasadena, CA – La Salle High School students had the opportunity to experience entertainment both on and off Kohorst Field for 
Homecoming Week. The Student Life team worked throughout the month to bring “A Blast from the Past!” to the students and Royal 
Court at the rally before the big game on Friday, October 18. 

 Watching the school come together at the rally further motivated the student body to come watch the Lancer football team compete that 
night against Mary Star of the Sea High School. During halftime of the football game, Robert McCreary and his sister Missy McCreary 
were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. With their mother and father by their sides, the King and Queen wore their crowns in 
front of the crowd and cheered the Lancers on during the second half where the Lancers defeated the Stars 51-20! 

The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Junior Class Council, followed on Saturday night.

GOODEN STUDENTS MAKES A MUSEUM PUMPKIN PATCH 
On Thursday, Oct 17th Ms. Keezer’s second grade class from the Gooden School visited the 
City’s two museums, Lizzie’s Trail Inn and Richardson House. While there, the students took part 
in a craft project that turned the Trail garden in front of Lizzie’s into a pumpkin patch. Each student 
created a unique jack o’ lantern that was “planted” around SMHPS’ award winning scarecrow.

The children also toured both museums and the tack shed, learning about early Sierra Madre, and 
how some things in the community were different back then, but also how some things are still the 
same today. 

 The pumpkins patch will be on display until Oct 30th in the Museum Garden, upper level. The 
address is 167 E. Mira Monte Ave., Sierra Madre. Go north on Mountain Trail and follow it around 

REP. SCHIFF 
CURRENTLY 

ACCEPTING 

APPLICATIONS 
FOR SERVICE 
ACADEMY 
NOMINATIONS

 

Encourages Students to Apply

 

Burbank, CA – Each year, 
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) 
nominates students 
from the 28th Congressional 
District for appointment to 
one of the four United States 
service academies which require 
a Congressional nomination. 
With these appointments, 
students are provided a 
free college education at a nationally-
recognized academic 
institution, while preparing 
for an officer’s commission 
in our nation’s armed forces. 
Nominations are required for 
all but the U.S. Coast Guard 
Academy, to which appointments 
are made on the basis 
of an annual nationwide 
competition.

 All Members of Congress are 
able to nominate qualified 
high school students for admission 
to one of the four service 
academies: the Military Academy 
at West Point, the Naval 
Academy at Annapolis, the Air 
Force Academy at Colorado 
Springs and the Merchant Marine 
Academy at Kings Point. 
In order to be considered for an 
appointment to a service academy, 
an applicant must meet 
the eligibility requirements 
established by law and be 
nominated by an authorized 
person, including Members of 
the House of Representatives, 
Members of the United States 
Senate or the Vice President’s 
Office.

“The students that are nominated 
to a service academy 
compile outstanding resumes 
of accomplishment, demonstrating 
excellence in academics, 
physical fitness and 
extracurricular activities,” 
said Schiff. “

An applicant for nomination 
must meet the following eligibility 
requirements as of July 
1 of the year of admission to 
a service academy: he or she 
must be at least 17 years old, 
but not have passed their 23rd 
birthday, must be a United 
States citizen and must be 
unmarried, not pregnant 
and have no legal obligation 
to support children or other 
dependents. The deadline 
for students interested in applying 
for nomination to a 
service academy from Cong. 
Schiff’s office for the Class of 
2018 is November 1, 2013. 

For additional information, 
call Schiff’s district office at 
818-450-2900 or 323-315-
5555 or visit his website for an 
application.


THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

CARRIE

 I have been a huge Stephen 
King fan ever since I read the book 
Carrie. To me, it was one of the best 
horror books ever written. However, 
when I watched the original 
movie version of the book, I found 
myself very disappointed (except for 
the prom scene, of course). For this 
reason, I was looking forward to see 
this remake for quite a while and I 
am happy to say that it does not disappoint. 
This remake follows the plot of the 
book and the original film, focusing 
on a poor girl, Carrie (Chloe Grace 
Moretz), who is severely bullied at 
school and lives with an insane, abusive 
mother (Julianne Moore). When she discovers that she has 
the ability to control objects with her minds, she takes life into 
her own hands and decides to get her revenge. 
I liked this remake for three reasons, the first being Chloe Grace 
Moretz’s performance, which was amazing. The second was that 
the character of Carrie’s mother is developed more. For example, 
she shows even more signs of insanity than in the original film, 
which made this movie even more interesting. The final reason 
is the prom scene. It is done absolutely perfect and the chain of 
chaotic events that leads to the explosive conclusion is absolutely 
stunning to watch. I would recommend this movie for fans of the 
original movie, the book, or someone looking for an interesting 
plot, characters, and awesome CGI telekinetic fight scenes.
