Sneakin’ Back into an Evening in Paris

By Anonymous

On Monday, September 4th, the junior class threw the senior class an after-sneak dinner to welcome them back after their class getaway to Thailand. This year, the juniors chose to give the usually casual dinner a classy spin, basing their theme on the movie Ratatouille.

After their adventure on the Phi Phi Islands, the seniors arrived back on campus at one in the morning of Saturday. Uncle Scott Poulter, a junior class sponsor, greeted them there with a grin while handing out invitations to the dinner, refusing to let slip anything about the previously mysterious theme.

As the seniors crowded and chattered around the white tables on the big day, the juniors slowly escorted each assigned table group down to the dimly lit chapel, which they had adorned with string lights, candles, little rat plushies, rose petals, kitchen gadgets, and more.

“I felt like I really was in Paris for a second there with the French music playing in the background and the decorations hanging all around the room. It was such a nice atmosphere,” commented Rainbow Chan (12).

Rahul Gill (12) added, “It was a bit funny because at first I didn’t realize that the bread and cheese plate wasn’t just a part of the table décor and was actually edible—it’s a good kind of surprise!”

The program began with a short skit about the movie’s villain, acted by John Cho (11), kidnapping Remy the little rat, voiced by Jackson Miller (11). The storyline then progressed to be one where Linguini, the protagonist acted by Seth Kelley (11), and the seniors were on a quest together to impress the critics with their cooking.

Throughout the evening, a few stage games were sandwiched between courses of dinner; and the seniors and sponsors had plenty of time to take pictures with the photo-ops around the room as well.

Unfortunately, the night had to end. The juniors gifted the seniors cookbooks for college, and each class took turns taking their group photos. People eventually started trailing back upstairs, chatting with friends while watching the sunset, cementing the memories from the night into their minds forever and ever.

“Honestly, it was just a fabulous night,” summed Min Guk Kong (11) perfectly.

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...
