Christmas in Summer

By Anonymous

Christmas is only 34 days away. Although it will not be a 'white' Christmas, considering this is Penang, everyone is looking forward to this celebration. CB asking has started this week.

CB, an acronym for Christmas banquet, is bringing out a lot of excitement in everyone. It is an event planned out by StuCo, and it will be held on the 8th of December in the Paradise hotel ballroom. Students are signing up and filling out their forms, as all of the CB requests are due on the 23rd of November. CB is the main student event at Dalat that celebrates Christmas and, therefore, is a meaningful and memorable event.

Girls are looking for perfect dresses for the occasion, within the dress code, of course. Others are searching for a present that they could give to their dates for CB. Curiosity is rising among students on who has been asked for a date. Aidan Frusher (12), requested Mikaela Steinkamp (11) for a date in front of the basketball court after lunch. 

 "I was really nervous walking up after lunch right before I asked. Then I signaled to my little sisters holding the signs, and, after that, it's all a blur," Frusher said. 

However, many students still prefer going to CB with a friend or two. “It is my last year of high school, and I want to make good memories with my friends before I leave,” said Harin Park (12).

Students are also excited about the events that will be taking place during CB: D.A.B. Ugly Christmas Sweater. Students can choose a song and up with a choreography. They can win prizes for developing a good dance and having an ugly Christmas sweater.

For a long time, CB has been an event that everybody can enjoy and get comfortable with talking to people around them. Many students, especially the freshmen, are looking forward to it.

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...

“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...
