2016 Original: Mushu Murderers

By Anonymous

On April 16th, 2016, the day after the Junior Senior Banquet, the senior class prepared and performed their last entertaining night.
At 9:30 in the morning, the senior class dragged their bums from their cozy beds to meet in the chapel to plan a night to thank the juniors for their hard work. During the after-JSB dinner, the seniors brainstormed ideas to spoof the theme from JSB. As the theme for this year’s JSB was Dragon Slayers (based in Britain), it was appropriate that the spoof was Mushu-murderers (based in China).
The seniors promptly separated into committees they would like to be a part of. They separated into gifts, decorations, entertainment, and food committee. After working closely together for two years, the senior class easily worked through the day in order to make the night perfect.
At around 6PM, the juniors were invited into the chapel. As they walked in, the seniors applauded them, showing thankfulness for their hard work for putting on an amazing night at JSB. The chapel was surrounded by the Great Wall of China, along with modern graffiti. Alexis Zimbulis (12) opened the night by giving a short welcome speech and saying,“I know you’re hungry but you can’t eat yet,” which started the skit. As the curtains opened, the crowd burst out laughing as Andy Ewe (12) sat on a makeshift throne as an emperor.
            As the night went on, the interrogation of King Arthur, Merida, and Thor was conducted by the Emperor, and his three trusted advisors, to see who was the murderer of Mushu. Between the skits of the main storyline, some jokes happened. Aaron Kelley (12) spoofed on how Aaron Chand (11) was on the JSB night with obvious riddles and a thumb wrestling war. A few “tributes”’ were given to the juniors, such as Emma Hofer (12) to Sam Hofer (12); and Joshua Moon (12) to Anson Chin (11).
            At the end of the night, King Arthur declared that all three of them killed the Emperor’s beloved Mushu together. As soon as Emperor Ewe heard this, he sent his three advisors, who were also skilled at martial arts, to kill the three imbeciles who killed his dragon. At the conclusion of the skit, Peter Lee (12) started singing “Hello” by Adele, making fun of the juniors who had sung “Goodbye” the night before.
It was a great and memorable night for the juniors. Kimberly Horton (11) praised, “The dinner was awesome! My favorite part was the seniors spoofing our song about goodbyes with Adele's "Hello" (smile emoticon). I loved the churros for dessert, and the ang paos we received with personal notes inside were really thoughtful.”
This night was memorable for the seniors as well as the juniors. “It was the first time I've ever done any sort of acting, but it was a really fun experience,” Andy Ewe stated.

That night, the senior class came to full circle. They started with a small project based in the chapel at the beginning of their 11th grade year with the After-Sneak dinner. They ended with a small project in the chapel at the homestretch of their 12th grade year. This night was the beginning of the end for the seniors. On that night the seniors left a legacy for the juniors.

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...
