Junior Class Skips School

By Anonymous
Bena Mauger

On Tuesday, the 30th of August, the junior class skipped the whole day of school for Servathon, an annual fundraiser for JSB and, eventually, Senior Sneak. This year, the juniors cleaned up the parks in the Tangung Bungah region.
The junior class split up into many different groups, each going to various parks. Some parks were so big that they needed two groups to help. Within the groups, the juniors partnered up to share the workload. 
These students, and their sponsors, had many different jobs during the day. One of the biggest jobs during Servathon was raking leaves. They raked and raked leaves. Yigal Ang (11) was put to the task of raking a large field with many leaves and said, “Leaves never end.” Ang eventually got tired of that job and switched with another junior. He was put to work chipping off the paint of gates and monkey bars and then repainting them.
Many of the juniors who had the job of painting came back with the paint that was meant for the monkey bars and gates on their faces, in the hair, and on their clothes.
Rainbow Chan (11) was one of these people who was painted on. She was supposed to be painting railings and some park benches. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the best experience because she was dehydrated. She warns the future juniors who will do Servathon next year to “get that H2O into your bodies.
Another job at Servathon for the juniors was scrubbing off graffiti on the stone benches at the parks. Similar to with the leaves, they kept scrubbing and scrubbing until they had to leave. To their dismay, they could not get rid of all of the graffiti before they had to pack up. But the Tangung Bungah look a little cleaner after spending some time with these 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

“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...
