Tangled Turned Tangoed

By

By Kaitlyn Ladner

JSB is an event that high schoolers and staff members waited to attend, especially since Dalat has not had one since 2019. Just for one night, people can dress up and not have to worry about academics. Though JSB is a vital night, the main topic of this article will be after-JSB, where the juniors are honored for the work they have done. 

Many seniors met up in the Vintage Chapel on that Saturday morning to plan for the night's event to honor the juniors. After more people came, they started the meeting by spitting ideas on how to spoof their JSB. Seniors came up with the idea of "Tangoed: Never Stop Dancing." 

,Seniors dispersed into three groups decoration, food and entertainment. Seniors were off to go pursue their duties in their committees. Some were chopping food for the food that night, which was tacos. The deco team went to Harbor Hall, where JSB was held and used the decorations for after-JSB. The entertainment committee was in the computer lab brainstorming ideas for the act. 

Since After-JSB is a spoof of what the Juniors did, they had to devise certain things to make good fun of what happened the night before. The decoration team made "unwanted" posters of each junior and sponsor because the juniors made "wanted" posters for JSB. The deco team also saran wrapped their appetizer because the appetizers in JSB were overly wrapped. The entertainment committee was able to spoof many things that happened at the event. A few other things that were spoofed were done in the skit performed for entertainment. For example, when making the play or the entertainment, they swapped the characters' genders.  

Since the whole night was full of memorable moments, Joycelyn Fung (11) was asked what her favorite was; she said, "We were all in tears from laughing so hard, and I loved all the spoofs. But if I had to pick a favorite, it might just have to be "But daddy, I want to go to Tangocon!" 

As the night went on, both the senior and junior class enjoyed the night full of laughter and tears of joy.

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...
