We Know You Can Sing

By

By Duncan Magruder
October 4 - 6 was an eventful time for both the high school choir and the many 7/11s that had the joy of doing business with them.

Breaking News! The high school choir is back and we are all happy that they have arrived safely. They were all wearing the same type of socks with different foods on them just trying to show their Choir section pride, after making an expedition all the way to Thailand have come back with a whole new view on life and music itself, really being able to experience the Thai culture by harassing every 7/11 employee they came across.

Christina Beaman (12) had an amazing time on the choir trip for the second time. This is what she had to say about it. “Each trip had a uniqueness to it and I really enjoyed both of them a lot. One thing I loved about this year was that we had a small group so we really got to bond with one another during the trip. One of my favorite memories was going to seven eleven together. We probably went 7 times in the span of two days. Overall, it was a great trip and it was amazing to see how 500 people can sing together and sound so good. It was an exciting week full of singing, laughing, and seven eleven.” At the end of the day, we could see that many of the students on the trip focused more on the many activities that involved 7/11 than they did the singing itself.

The choir trips have always been a joy to the students and every year they come back with a new story to tell and an inside joke that they will laugh at for days to come. The school loves having the vibrant energy the choir students express in the open-air halls as we walk to our next class. Hopefully, next year's choir trip will have just as much excitement and 7/11 runs as this past year did.

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...
