A Willy Wonky Dinner

By Luis Vieira

The Juniors enter the harbor hall for the After-JSB Dinner and have their creation turned into a chaotic mess. Tables turned upside down, seniors on all fours to be used as chairs, and a table surrounded by Milo cows. It was surely a sight for sore eyes. A Wonky mess. For the After-JSB Dinner, the seniors have a few hours to use the juniors’ theme's and play to create a parody of their event. The theme this year was Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, where then the seniors turned it into Willy Wonky. Being a Wonky adaptation to the well-known Wonka Factory, the seniors messed around with the table arrangements and the decorations.

The plays were mostly improvised, with some accidents that were lucky to be funny and add to the experience. The fast schedule changes added to the sense of chaos, and the seniors had to adapt as fast and well as possible. We also had an honorable tribute from Tae Woo Song (12) back to Daniel Lim (11) in the form of an epic rap covered by Trevor Nichols (12) on the trumpet, Noah Lee (12) on the saxophone, and Ryan Chew (12) on the cajon.

Breakfast for dinner was the junior's meal, with a promise of Milo. Just with every pour of a cup, the amount of milo became less and less, with the junior's faces more and more disappointed, due to the lack of Milo that was prepared for the dinner.

At least this time, Caleb Jun (11) prayed for our meal, unlike the night prior when he forgot. "The best part of the After-JSB Dinner were the disco ball and the fog machine", said Joshua Emmanuel (12) about his opinion about the evening.

As a new student at Dalat, I had a lot of fun both at JSB and the After-JSB Dinner and respect and acknowledge everyone’s hard work and effort to make those evenings unique and memorable for everyone.
