ALUMNI RETURN TO BOSCO TECH FOR NATIONAL ENGINEERS WEEK

ROSEMEAD, CA. – February 23, 2014 – National Engineers Week is 
an important event on the campus of Don Bosco Technical Institute 
(Bosco Tech) because of the school’s focus on the science, math 
engineering and technology (STEM) fields. On Thursday, February 
19, alumni who are scientists and engineers returned to the school 
to talk to current students about the interesting world of engineering 
and the many exciting and diverse professional opportunities the 
field offers.

Representing such companies as Boeing, Lockheed Martin 
and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, several alumni made 
presentations ranging from designing the infrastructure for a power 
station to sending instructions to the Mars Rover. Students were able 
to sit in on the presentations of their choice and ask questions of the 
speakers about their companies and positions.

“We’re proud of the professional accomplishments of our alumni,” 
said Bosco Tech Principal Xavier Jimenez. “And their willingness to 
share what they’ve learned with current students is invaluable. They 
offered practical insights while encouraging the young people to 
apply themselves and dream big!”

“It was another great opportunity that Bosco Tech offers students,” 
said Bosco Tech senior Aidan Calvet, who plans to study materials 
engineering at the university level this coming fall. “It gave us all a 
chance to see where we’re heading and the many different routes we 
can take to get there. It reinforces that you can end up where you 
want to be professionally.”

With a 100 percent college acceptance rate, about 64 percent of Bosco 
Tech graduates pursue STEM-related majors in their university 
studies. Celebrating its sixtieth year, Bosco Tech is an all-male 
Catholic high school that combines a rigorous college-preparatory 
program with a technology-focused education. The innovative 
curriculum allows students to exceed university admission 
requirements while completing extensive integrated coursework in 
one of several applied science and engineering fields. Visit www.
boscotech.edu for more information.

performing art in PUSD. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the 
exhibit features more than 400 pieces of two and three dimensional 
student artwork representing every school in the district. The title “No 
Boundaries” refers to the exhibit’s objective of showcasing student 
artwork without limits to the size or media used as well as the unlimited 
creative potential of students in PUSD.

The exhibition will be held at 345 S. Lake Avenue, in The Shops on Lake. 
The opening reception for No Boundaries takes place Friday, February

the district. Guest conductors from Pasadena City College, Azusa Pacific

THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: 
SPONGE OUT OF WATER REVIEW

SEE OUR 
ISSUES 

ONLINE 

ON 

YOUR 

MOBILE 
DEVICE!

 The first SpongeBob movie did not feel like a typical episode of the 
show or even one of the TV specials. The plot had more to it, new 
characters, new locations, and new jokes. Those aspects were what set 
the SpongeBob movie apart from the TV show and made it feel worthy 
of being a movie. However, after seeing the trailer for the sequel, I did 
not get a sense of the same grandeur of the first film.

 The daily routine of the Krusty Krab is interrupted when Plankton 
(Tom Kenny) attacks with one of his strongest weapons yet. However, 
as the fight reaches the turning point, the Krabby Patty formula, which 
Plankton has fought so long for, disappears and everyone in Bikini 
Bottom is left wondering where it went. SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) and 
his friends must embark on a strange journey to find out where exactly 
the formula ended up.

 ‘Sponge Out of Water’, while visually appealing and having much 
more time put into it than a regular episode, relies on the simplistic 
formula the writers have created. The movie feels like an episode that 
someone decided deserved more screen time and got turned into a 
movie. The clever humor and great interactions between the characters 
is still there, yet it does not feel complex enough to be a movie. The kids 
will be entertained but the adults will be left to wonder why they left 
their home to go see a SpongeBob episode in a movie theater.
