"The Rising Star of Dalat's Clark Zhang" By Phillip DeVries

After Clark Zhang's singing performance at the After Sneak Dinner, which was equivalent to the Super Bowl halftime show, he was the talk of the town, especially in Dalat. Now, here's the thing: this career is just the start. Rumors have been about his growth as a singer and where this will lead.

Many people have been asking how he is progressing in his career and how he is doing, as he was a very popular man then. Nathan Thompson, from the junior class said, "He's been working on his high notes, which has progressed his singing, and with his good looks, we are looking at real potential here."

Now, this is some good news for Clark's fans and friends, as if he's progressing, so is his confidence in performing. Fellow senior classmate Soniya Peters says, "During the After Sneak Dinner, Clark sang twice, showing extreme confidence, as in 9th grade he would never have done that, and I would love to see him sing at chapel." 

He's gone from a shy freshman boy to a confident, talented young man. This shows the maturing and confidence boost Clark now has from truly embracing his talents and doing what he wants.

As his confidence builds, his potential as a singer does as well. "I've always loved singing, beatboxing, and making noise, but now I'm finally confident enough to share my wonderful talents. I can't wait to perform more, maybe at the chapel or somewhere in the future," Clark added.

We still don't know what Clark has for us in the future, but we should be excited anyway, as he has gained new confidence, practice, and newfound singing skills. The whole of Dalat is with and for support for Clark and is in suspense waiting to see what he'll do next.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

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...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

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...
