The Final Straw: Juniors vs Seniors

By

By Micah Pickett

The games finally came after a long wait for the two strong teams, Porkchop FC and Big Birds. The crowds were in their seats, awaiting the entertainment that was to come. On Monday, May 26th, 2025, the first whistle was blown for the first sport in the competition between the Juniors and Seniors, which was volleyball.

The atmosphere was thick with pregame banter and suspense, which had been built up before the first sport. 

"Let the competition begin!" shouted Braden Abrams (12) with serious excitement. 

The first ball was served over, and the crowds were already bound to their seats. As the game went on, the two main powerful hitters from both teams were lighting up each side of the court: Aaron Andrews (11), also known as Mr. MVP, and Jaeyoun Kim (12), also known as King Aura. Soon enough, it was a tied game, with Porkchop FC winning the first set and Big Birds winning the second. The question everyone is asking is, Who is willing to put everything on the line for the win?

The ball was getting hammered in all different directions, and it seemed as though Porkchop FC had taken the game to a whole new level. Winning the third set meant that they only needed one more to go home with a one-game lead in the three-game series. Big Birds showed resilience and hard-fought effort, but it just wasn’t their day. The bench sensed a powerful game-winning moment from the local kid, Jaeyoun Kim (12), was on its way. The ball came over the net from the Big Birds, and with a perfect receive, the setter Juan Moon (12) was perfectly in position. King Aura, more known as Jaeyoun Kim (12), leapt into the air with all his aura surrounding him. With one final blow, the ball slammed right onto the opponent's court, leaving the defence line hopeless. 

The wild stallion, Darnell Dwumfur (12), finishes the moment by saying, “He didn’t get crowned King Aura, he took it.” 

Porkchop FC go one up in the series.

It was a hard-fought match between the two teams. Both played fair and wise. But Porkchop FC is the team bringing high morale into the next game of the series: soccer. Little do the Porkchops know, the Big Birds are out for revenge and are going to come back more ready than ever.

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...
