Freshman Wins Two Short Film Awards

When Devon Prep Freshman Paul Malikkal was just seven years old his father gave him a small video camera. Paul hadn’t asked for it, but his dad thought he would like it. Li le did Mr. Malikkal know not only was he helping his son develop an interes ng hobby but a career as well.

Paul recently won two awards for short films he created. He won first place for his film “Movie Time” (www.youtube.com/watch? v=iLdMgUrJxsE) at the 2013 WHYY Youth Media Awards which honors the best media produced by youth in grades 6‐12 in the Philadelphia region. More than 165 entries were submi ed and only 15 films were awarded prizes.

Last summer Paul also won an award for his film “It Came from the Woods” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=T32xP62qiq8), in the Short Film Contest of Blob Fest 2013. This contest required entries be no more than 5 minutes long and centered on the movie The Blob, Blobfest, and/or sci ‐fi in general. It seems that li le video camera turned out to be the per‐ fect gi .

“I don’t really remember the first thing I shot, I just remember filming my sister, my dad and all my family,” the ninth grader said. “I thought using a camera was kind of cool.” Paul and a friend soon began crea ng li le stories with that camera. They were inspired by the films they would watch, such as Indiana Jones movies. Although he s ll has those first films, he says he wouldn’t broadcast them. “They’re pre y embar‐ rassing, but pre y funny to watch.”

And people seemed to like them. Then I made “It Came from the Woods” last summer and I submi ed that to Blobfest in Phoenixville and it won.”

Paul had entered the WHYY contest before but he never won. However, with “Movie Night,” he felt he had a pre y good chance. “I started wri ng this script and I got a few of my friends who I thought were good for the parts and we filmed it in two nights,” he said. “I edited it and I was really happy with the final product. I tried to submit my films to WHYY before (con nued)

Paul graduated to small digital cameras and then his mother’s Canon DSLR. He has a ended film camp where he learned to create be er and longer films. “I made a few li le comedy films and that’s where I started to finally make some bigger leaps in terms of my crea vity,” he said. “They were coherent stories which was something I didn’t have before.

(Paul Malikkal conƟnued)

but they never got picked. And I can’t blame them, they were not very good. But I was pre y confident that this one actually had a shot at winning.”

Although he aspires to be a director, Paul says he enjoys all aspects of filmmaking including wri ng, shoo ng and edi ng. “I like the wri ng. It’s a lot of fun to get all your ideas out there,” he explained. “Shoo ng is so much fun, especially if the actors are your friends. And edi ng – that’s fun too because you get to see what your final product is going to look like. And that’s really rewarding.”

When he’s not filming or wri ng or thinking about filming and wri ng, Paul is watching films and learning. “I just really like telling stories. I like making dramas. I like coming of age films about teenagers who are making realiza ons about life,” he said.

As for the future, he hopes to go to NYU to study film. Then he hopes he’ll have a career in Hollywood as a director. “I want to direct a li le bit of everything,” he said. “I do want to make some films that are more inde‐ pendent because I like independent films. The director can have much more control over what he’s doing. I hope I can make successful independ‐ ent films.”

With two awards under his belt at the age of 15, success seems likely.

Mathletes Win Division Championship

Devon Prep’s Mathletes, under the direc on of Mr. Chip Hollowell, won their division championship compe ng against 13 other teams. In addi on, Sophomore Alex Dami‐ an and Junior Albert‐Emanuel Mila‐ ni earned the honor of being 2nd and 3rd point leaders in the division for the season.

The team now qualifies to compete for the Archdiocesan Championship in April. Last year the team took second place in the championship.

Pro‐Life Club Collects Baby Supplies for Needy Moms For several weeks before the Rally & March for Life in Washington, DC Devon Prep’s Pro‐life Club sponsored a Baby Supplies Drive to benefit Catholic Relief Services (CRS) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Three thousand dollars in baby items, including diapers, formula, and wipes were donated by the Devon Prep community.

The Drive was planned to end on the day of the Rally & March for Life in Washington, DC which commemorates the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abor on na onwide. Before the supplies were picked up Headmaster Rev. James J. Shea, Sch.P. blessed the dona ons during a recent morning Mass.

The dona ons were distributed to needy mothers and their babies through Catholic Social Services’ Family Services Centers throughout the five county Philadelphia area.

According to Religion Teacher Mr. Joe Lewis, ”The donated supplies will help courageous mothers who choose life rather than abor on and need help in providing for their babies.”

Students Appear on PBS 39′s “Scholas c Scrimmage” Five members of Devon Prep’s Academic Challenge Team (ACT), with their moderator Mr. Roger Mecouch, travelled to the studios of PBS 39 in Bethlehem, PA to par cipate in the ScholasƟc Scrimmage TV show.

For 40 years PBS 39 has been producing the popular high school academic compe ‐ on where contestants try to answer ques ons more quickly than mem‐ bers of the opposite team.

Devon Prep competed against William Allen High School in Allentown and won by a large margin. At the end of the season the winning team receives $4000 for its scholarship fund and the runner‐up receives $2000. Devon Prep’s first appearance on ScholasƟc Scrimmage aired on PBS 39 in mid‐January 2014.

According to Mr. Mecouch the team members were a li le nervous at first but seemed to relax as the show got underway. “They were very excited to be on the show and did a great job,” he said. “We all look forward to going back next year.” See more photos and watch the show at: www.devonprep.com/2014/02/scholas c‐scrimmage/

Catholic Schools Week Devon Prep's Student Council sponsored several events during "Catholic Schools Week,” including apprecia on days for students, faculty and staﬀ, and a Devon Prep Night at the Sixers. But one of the most an ci‐ pated events was the annual Students vs. Faculty Academic Challenge.

The student team was comprised of seniors who currently par cipate on Devon Prep's Academic Challenge Team. The faculty team included Mr. George Beothy, Mr. Steven Lukens, Headmaster Rev. James Shea, and Mr. Dave Evans.

Science Chair Mr. Roger Mecouch served as host of the compe on which included three rounds of both teams trying to answer as many ques‐ ons correctly as possible, therefore earning the most points. With the en re student body watching, the faculty team took the lead early on. Although the student team came close at mes, the faculty won the compe on 155 ‐ 100.

In case you're curious, here are some of the ques ons asked during the Challenge: 1. What is this stratovolcano located in Tanzania and is the tallest mount in Africa? (Kilimanjaro)

2. This work features a red barn in the right background and a church steeple in the le . Name this o en parodied Grant Wood piece. (American Gothic)

Ash Wednesday

The Devon Prep community a ended Ash Wednesday Mass together marking the beginning of the Season of Lent. Lent is a season of pen‐ ance, reflec on, and fas ng which prepares us for Christ's Resurrec on on Easter Sunday.

The ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebra on of the previous year.

Using Chemistry to Create Holiday Decora ons Although keeping their students’ a en on the week before Christmas can be trying for some teachers, Mrs. Loutrel didn’t have that problem in her eighth grade science classes. She had them crea ng beau ful silver orna‐ ments to demonstrate a prac cal applica on of an oxida on – reduc on chemical reac on.

They combined four solu ons (dextrose, silver nitrate, ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide) in a glass ornament ball and swirled it around. Short‐ ly a thin lustrous silver coa ng began to cover the inside of the ornament. The process reflects the way silver mirrors are actually produced.

In another class they also made crystal ornaments with pipe cleaners and a solu on of water and borax. Once they were completely dry many of the boys took their ornaments home to hang on their Christmas trees.

Devon Prep Pitcher Commits to Seton Hall Zach Schellenger Named Pre‐Season BAL Player of the Year. Devon Prep Pitcher Senior Zach Schellenger signed a commitment le er with Seton Hall University to con nue his baseball career at the collegiate level in the fall of 2014. The 6 foot 6 right‐hander has been a member of the varsity baseball program at Devon Prep for the past four years.

“I’m excited to be a ending Seton Hall next year,” Zach said. “They have an excellent pitching staﬀ in addi on to being a great academic ins tu on.”

Zach was recently named the 2014 Pre‐Season Bicentennial Athle c League (BAL) Player of the Year. And he was ranked #1 in the "PA Class of 2014 Rank‐ ings" by Prep Baseball Report.

Last year he was named BAL Most Valua‐ ble Player for Spring 2013, and he helped lead Devon Prep to the PIAA District 1 Class A final in the 2013 season. During the season Zach had an ERA of 1.19. He struck out 99 ba ers in 63 innings and his fastball averaged 90‐93 m.p.h.

Last summer he was selected to compete in the pres gious New Balance Area Code Games which took place last August in Long Beach, California. The Area Code Games tournament consists of eight teams represen ng eight regions na on‐ wide. The teams include the best players from around the na on compe ng at the highest level, while being evaluated by scouts from all 30 Major League teams and the Major League Scou ng Bureau.

Runners Par cipate in New Balance Games in NYC Armory

One Saturday morning in early January Devon Prep runners, Ma hew McDevi , John Roth, James O’Shea and Lucas Watson, found themselves heading to an indoor track meet that proved to be anything but typical. These members of Devon Prep’s 4 X 800 meter relay team traveled to New York City to par cipate in the New Balance Games at the historic Armory (h p://www.armorytrack.com/).

More than 5000 high school athletes competed in the Games which took place in the Armory’s New Balance Track & Field Center, a 60,000‐square‐foot arena with an Olympic caliber track. The Center is widely regarded as one of the premier indoor track and field facili es on the East Coast, as well as in the United States. The Center has become a mecca for track and field athletes from around the world while serving the students from all five boroughs of New York City.

According to Devon Prep Track & Field Coach Dave Evans, par cipa ng in this meet was more about the experience than the race. ”I was excited to bring the guys there,” he said. “The Armory is one of the fastest and most historic indoor tracks in the world so I hope it’s something they’ll never forget. They had the opportunity to see some of the fastest high school and professional races that will be run in the US this year. “

James O’Shea, who ran leadoﬀ leg with the fastest split, found the compe on exci ng and the venue memorable. “It was a great experience running with some of the best high school athletes in the country,” the Devon Prep senior said. “And it was an honor to run at one of the most unique and historic indoor tracks in the world. The atmosphere was amazing.”

“We’ll definitely be back next year,” Evans con nued. “I was happy with the way the team competed. They’re all very compe ve and they really appreciated the significance of where we were.”
