New School Building Is On Its Way

By Anonymous
Asher Kim 

The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and there are quite a few changes coming along. One of them, as many of you will have noticed, is the new school building.

The gigantic building is on its way to finally reveal itself. The building consists of several spacious classrooms that come together as one to form a big ship. The new building does not only consist of classrooms but also a majestic auditorium. This new huge auditorium is a clear indication of how far Dalat has come. Some senior students were able to experience some parts of the building as they helped move the brand new lockers with Mr. Kilgo on Tuesday. I could tell from their faces that they were somewhat envious because they would not be here anymore to enjoy the new facility. I asked Daniel Go (12) about the new building, and he told me, “I wish I was a junior now, so that I could study in a better environment.”

The new building faces the crystal blue ocean and the clear sky, and it made me feel as if I were the captain of the “Dalat Ship.” From the Castle building to our new high school campus, I realized how important it is to come together as one community to achieve our goals. Dalat has never failed to do so for the past decades. Dalat has not only successfully created a bigger space for bigger achievements, but it has also created an open environment that allows students to excel in their academics.

I believe that this new building will provide a room for even more creativity, passion, and hard work, for both current and future students. Despite being a student of Dalat for only a few years, I have fully and truly experienced what true education means. A true school is not merely about top-notched buildings—but more about the people that are involved in fostering this communal experience.

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

By
“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...
