A Night of Carols

By

By: Michael Fearday

The Dalat choir class had their concert on December 5th, 2024. It was a great night filled with the Christmas spirit. The choir team did a great job spreading joy and lightheartedness throughout the night. 

The Dalat Choir Concert is a must see every year and they don’t disappoint. This year was really cool as lots of seniors are in choir and using their voices to life up the spirit of Christmas. When I asked Kyra Brewster (12) what her favorite part of this semester has been, she answered, “Getting to know the underclassmen and the progress everyone has made as a group.” They have definitely progressed through the year and have grown closer as a class. 

During the night, they sang a lot of Christmas carols and were getting everyone in a Christmas mood. I felt the whole room’s mood change as soon as they started singing their first song. The tech team also did a great job making everything come together and sound perfect. The choir team worked months and months on this and finally all the work paid off when they were able to share their work with the rest of the Dalat community. 

The room was packed with awe struck people who couldn’t resist just listening to this magnificent group of high school students who are using their talents to share Christmas cheer around. I hope that in the Spring, they come back out to do another performance for us and to keep growing as a class and as individuals. 

To end this off I want to give a shoutout to Ms. Jessamine Sikes and the rest of the choir class for bringing a lot of joy and positivity into one night. They worked really hard on this and deserve to be recognized for their hard work and dedication to this semester and to the concert.

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...
