A Memorable JSB

By

By Moriah Winsor

Entering into the extremely unfamiliar walls of Harbor Hall late Friday evening, seniors and sophomores were shocked by the overwhelming decor imitating Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. All four painted panels (beautifully done by some unknown juniors) really transformed the entire harbor hall. “It was truly like being submerged into Willy Wonka’s factory,” said Moriah Winsor (12). 

The green-haired Oompa Loompas made seniors of all ages question the true whereabouts of the banquet, making some believe they were truly teleported into a world of fantastic chocolate and sweets. The Oompa Loompas impacted everyone in ways the juniors may not have expected. Whether or not this was due to the strong pigmentation of their bright green hair, or Cullno’s intense dance sequence in a song towards the end, their antics were one of the highlights of the evening. 

Though the appetizers were somewhat disappointing for the gluten-free students of the high school body, the faulty water jugs were wetting table cloths and scaring children at every table. A frequent sound of ice slamming against the lovely foldable white tables filled the hall throughout the hour-long tributes. Despite the tea-soaked table clothes and cream-filled gluten traps that is bread, the main course was more than extremely pleasant. The juniors did an excellent job of providing a whole small half cup of rice and some “bussin' chicken” (Luis Vieira 12). Despite the somewhat small portion, the food was definitely a win in the junior's books, as was the self-motivated catering that led to juniors eagerly nagging and waiting for seniors (and whoever else was there) to finish their food. Some juniors even took the initiative of leaning over the table whilst seniors were still eating just so that they’d be ready to dump what was left in their food bucket. 

The entertainment of the evening was sufficiently entertaining. DJ performed very strong as Charlie, and Dominic Cheang was roasted a whole two times, so the evening was definitely a success. Good job juniors for not giving the entire high school food poisoning and making my feet hurt for 4 hours of tribute listening. 5/5 stars.

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...
