I Moustache You a Question

By Anonymous

Salsa to CB with me? Whale you be my date? CB?

No matter how you say it, the question of all questions brings out the nerves in everyone.

A series of romantic gestures on Dalat campus...Could it be? No worries. You're not having a hallucination. It's just CB time.

The on-campus craziness began with an equally crazy video. Peter Lee released a comedic call to all sweethearts and singles to join StuCo on December 11th at Paradise Hotel for the Christmas Banquet.

Some took the classic route with their askings. Amanda Goh (12) had a group of friends hold up signs with the simple but effective question, "Will you go to CB with me?"

Some took a more adventurous approach to the age-old tradition. Annabelle Teoh (9) had "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars play as she danced her way across the gym with the girls’ basketball team to ask Nick Khor (9). Even Mr. Steinkamp got in on the asking, helping to hold up Annabelle's sign.

Not to be outdone, Mr. Brewster also helped with an asking. Mackenzie Jordan (12) employed the principal to help her invite Aaron Chand (11) as her date. She had Aaron called to the principal's office, where she surprised him with an invitation to the Christmas Banquet. (Pictured below)

The freshmen also set a new trend in the high school with more casual askings. This laid-back attitude has been a welcomed change with the upper classmen who remember the overwhelming nervousness of their freshman year asking. Sarah Tan (12) recalled it in this way, "CB askings were what we all looked forward to as soon as we started freshman year. I remember CB being a constant topic of conversation and excitement with my friends; we planned our askings and all knew who was going to ask who months in advance."

Some still enjoyed the excitement of a suspenseful asking. Karissa Steinkamp (12) had Brian Hiew (12) blindfolded and "kidnapped." After being walked about campus, he was taken to the Journ room where Kassy had chocolate and a very important question waiting for him. Kassy voiced her opinion on CB in this way, "I am really excited for CB this year! I think it is going to be really fun this year. I am anxious to see what STUCO has in store for us."

Overall, this year's asking season has seen some exciting stuff. From dancing directors to crazy kidnappings, the high schoolers have kept things lively. Of course, some have chosen to avoid the chaos of asking and selected a few good friends to go in a group with. Whether in a group or in a couple, CB is bound to be a blast!

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
