After JSB Dinner

By Anonymous

It was nice being a part of the After JSB dinner for the juniors, which was held on Friday, April 28th, in the chapel.

It was cool to see the seniors work hard to put on a show for the juniors after all their hard work for JSB. The seniors performed a spoof called “Handsome and the Hag,” which was a Bachelor-style game show. Aaron Chand (12) played the bachelor who was looking for his perfect girl. He had two options, being Gastine (Mersades Zimmer (12)) or Andy (Susan Oh (12)). Gastine was a beautiful but self-obsessed woman who spent all her time in a café. Andy was a crazy cat lady who was always in an antique shop, surrounded by a bunch of cats; Oh did a fantastic job playing the crazy lady and, thus, was my favorite character. We also had a memorial for Elynn Tan (11) because she “was no longer with us,” which everyone laughed at; in reality, she was at a swim meet. Overall, it was a lot of fun to watch the scenes, which were roasting the juniors.

 At my old school in Canada, I hardly knew who the people were in the grade above me because there was such a great distance between the grades, and there was no overall feeling of community at the school. But here, at Dalat, there is such a great feeling of community, and the appreciation for the seniors is evident through all the events for them. When I was first told that I was coming back to Dalat for my senior year, I never knew how significant these events would be.  

I'm so thankful for the people and the friendships I have made here. And saying goodbye will be hard. My world has changed for the better since I came back to Dalat. I have created so many wonderful memories, memories not only from the events but also in spending time with people at school and while hanging out in the theater.

 It was a lot of fun to work on something special for the people I care about, my friends. The After JSB dinner wasn't just a thank you for JSB, but for me, it was also a thank you for the memories and friendships.

Hannah Buhr (12) summarized it all, “I really enjoyed seeing the juniors come together for JSB and seeing their work for the seniors, and then putting in work for the juniors for the after JSB dinner.”

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...
