A ‘Peak’ into Sneak Dinner

By

By Marissa Elliott

From ferries, to bus rides, to 5am pickups, the senior class was exhausted after returning on September 1st from their week away at Senior Sneak at Telunas Indonesia; but what better way to relax then dinner and a good show? 

The ‘After Sneak Dinner’ is a long standing tradition among the Junior and Senior classes here at Dalat. While the seniors are rewarded with their trip after a long year of hard work raising money as former juniors, the current juniors put on a dinner to surprise them the night after their return. 

This year's amazing Grade 11’s put on an unforgettable After Sneak Dinner filled with laughter, surprises, and memories with the theme of High School Musical! 

The dinner preparations were no easy task, as Aiden Boyd (11), the star of the show, playing Troy Bolton said, “From the first workday, all the committees were working very diligently not wasting any time, because of this, (the) entertainment (committee) had an entire script. And for decorations, they had already started creating decor and this was on the second workday. So to prepare we made sure not to waste time and even forced our sponsors to stay late for more practice time.” 

And all that work paid off: Caitlyn Chan (12), our senior class president, said her favorite part of the night was “Jane Lee’s solo bit dancing along with the song so professionally.” 

From the moment we walked through the doors each of us could see the hard work put into the night, and it only got better as the event went on and we were able to watch the different talents of each junior class member; whether that be serving, cooking, decorating or acting, each students’ abilities were united to create lasting memories as Caitlyn described. 

The Harbor Hall was creatively decorated with basketballs, stars, and cardboard jerseys that the seniors could all bring home. They created a ‘build your own’ burger bar and had homemade brownies for dessert! The stage was lit up with karaoke, props and costumes that engulfed all the hard work the juniors did to make the night unforgettable. 

It is safe to say that the senior class was spoiled with the dedication and greatly appreciate the huge effort that the Grade 11’s put into a great first night back in Penang. 

On behalf of the Senior class, we could not be more grateful!

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...
