Dalat International School: Senior Scribble

By Ray Lee Fearful yet excited, anxious yet hopeful, wistful yet pumped; the myriad of emotions fill my head as that final day draws near.  I am the last Senior Scribbler of the class of 2023. I can’t believe that Dalat is almost over for us. These will be the last few memories I make in this wonderful community. To commemorate my time here, I’ll be going on a narrated trip around campus and reliving a few memories defining the past 6 years of my life.  Firstly, we have the middle school building. Its design feels so old yet so timeless. There was something unique about the building I never witnessed in my previous schools. After all, who could forget that world-renowned slide you either loved sliding through or considered a hassle? I remember being excited at everything I saw when I first came to Dalat, and this building I spent the next few years in was definitely the most thrilling to me.

By Luis Vieira The time has finally come. It is the end of the school year.

The seniors thank everyone for all their hard work, from things such as the JSB dinner to Senior junior sunset.  As they take in their last days in high school, you can feel how excited they are to go to a new phase of their life, but also see how sad they are to leave and how the transition can be stressful. To leave all their underclassmen friends and classmates. To all the teachers that have guided them throughout the years and created so many memories with them. Even though the teachers have put us through so much struggle, with the number of assignments ...

By Trevor Nichols On the night of the 21st of May, 2023, the entire Dalat High School was turned upside down as the Senior Prank occurred. As the academic year was nearing its end, the Seniors took one last effort to leave their mark before their departure. Around 8:00 PM, the experiment began: seniors completely inconspicuously began filing onto school grounds, gathering in clumps much like little bacterial colonies on an agar plate. T+ 10 minutes — these aggressive colonies began infecting the school ground: inflating pink balloons throughout the stairways and classrooms, throwing pink streamers all around the railings, painting posters pink, vandalizing windows with pink markers, and even rolling out a pink carpet. As Chris Jang (12) says: "We could've had more pink. Sorry, we SHOULD've had more pink." T+ 1 hour — both auxiliary stairwells in the school have been fully infected are are no longer functional. The functioning pathways have been completely blocked with...
