Junior Class Store: Shaking to Your Heart!

By Aster Hng

Dalat has many traditions that run back to the good 'ol days. From personal experience, one of our best traditions is the Junior Class Store, which is open every school day before school starts and from X-block onwards. Every year, the junior class is handed the keys to the store, and this store becomes the class baby and ATM. But each junior class is free to put their own spin on the Junior Class Store as bold entrepreneurs.

This year's juniors, the Class of 2018, have revolutionized the Junior Class Store, to put it simply. They caught the rest of the school off guard when they leaped into this school year head on, determined to make their new ideas work. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, then let me clarify: the Junior Class Store doesn't sell the iconic Bubble Tea and Oreo Smoothie anymore. But, not to worry, they have something a little more classic—they now sell milkshakes!

Ranging from the standard vanilla milkshake to something fancier, like mint chocolate chip milkshakes, they have a whole variety, making it so there is definitely something for everyone. When asked what the best flavor was, Mr. Chinn, along with Victoria Galang (11), said that "Strawberries & Cream is really good, especially cause it has real strawberries inside"; the strawberries are blended with strawberry ice cream, which gives the milkshake a healthier but yummier element.

And if you just don't feel like having a milkshake, then you can always head over to the candy counter. With a whole gallery of new snacks and candy, I'm sure you'll find at least one thing that will make your heart skip a beat and your tummy let out a sigh of happiness. They have snacks like mini packets of Goldfish and the all-time favorites—Snicker's, Mars, and Twix. You do have to constantly check their candy counter for new items as they will be bringing out new candy over the course of the year.

Along with that is the latest addition to the store, a school accessories’ corner. You can get a backpack, Dalat sweaters, caps, and much more. It's a good way to show school pride and support the junior class at the same time.

Last, but not least, I have the honor of also introducing to you their latest product. Starting Friday, August 26th, the Junior Class Store will now be selling root beer and Coke floats, along with their existing milkshakes! So don't miss out; head over to the Junior Class Store and support the juniors as they start off the school year.

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

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

“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

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...
