Sierra Madre, CA (December 8, 2014) � The Alverno High School 
Jaguars broke in their new uniforms on a rainy December 3 afternoon 
against the Glendale Nitros for their first non-conference game of the 
season. Control of the ball went back and forth between the two teams for 
the first half. The Jaguars first opportunity to score came late in the first 
half as Junior forward Emma Cavender pressured the Nitros goalkeeper.

 Coach Ken Berry made adjustments in the second half to add more 
speed to the offense. Senior defender Olivia Rivas was moved to forward 
and freshman defender Jazmin Rebollo was moved to outside-mid. Rivas 
scored late in the second half. Freshman Subrina Hamdan defended well 
in front of the goal and freshman goalkeeper Ayanna Melin made a save 
from a Nitros corner kick to preserve the lead.

� On Wednesday, December 17, Alverno 
High School hosted its annual Candlelight 
Celebration at the Villa del Sol d�Oro on 
campus. Candlelight Celebration, an annual 
Christmas tradition at Alverno, celebrates the 
Christmas story through a live reenactment 
beginning with the Annunciation and 
concluding with the Birth of Christ.

 Upon arriving on campus, guests were 
be provided with a candle and led to south side of the Villa where the procession began with an introduction by the President and Vice-
President of the Alverno Student Union and a tableau depicting the Annunciation of Mary. Guests were then led around the Villa making 
several stops on their own journey to �Bethlehem� including seeing Mary visit Elizabeth, the first stop at the Inn in Bethlehem, the arrival of 
Mary and Joseph at the stable, the birth of Jesus, and the visit from the shepherds and wise men. Each stop signified an important part of the 
Christmas story and guests were invited to join in Christmas carols led by the Alverno choir at each stop.

 Once guests had reached �Bethlehem� on the north side of the Villa, they enjoyed two dance performances Alverno�s dance students before 
being invited into the Villa for a final choral performance by both students and alumnae. A festive reception in the Villa followed the procession 
and performances.

 �Candlelight is a time-honored tradition at Alverno that brings our entire community together,� said Julia V. Fanara, Head of School. �It is a 
wonderful way to commence the Christmas season and remind us of the true meaning of the holiday. This event is an opportunity for Alverno 
to wish all of our friends, family, and community members a wonderful Christmas season.�

THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS


The first trailer that I saw for this film made it look like the �Lord of the 
Rings: Return of the King� of Bible movies; it looked very epic. The scope 
of the movie was huge and it looked very action packed. So, I went into the 
theater with high expectations.

 �Gods and Kings� tells the story of Exodus: Moses (Christian Bale) 
discovers that he is in fact a Hebrew and is chosen by God to lead his people 
out of Egypt, which is currently ruled by his brother Ramses (Joel Edgerton). 
This movie covers everything from Moses� exile, crossing the Red Sea, and 
the creation of the Ten Commandments.

 �Gods and Kings� is a very poor rebelling of the Exodus stories. The 
visuals are on the level of �Return of the King� and the production value was 
obviously very high, but this film is hindered by a very, very weak script, 
which makes the film move very slowly. �Gods and Kings� is not a bad movie 
but it is also not a good movie; it is two and a half hours of gorgeous looking 
empty shell of a movie.
