"Tribute Dedicated to Us: JSB Highlights" by Jueun Seo

By

 Junior Senior Banquet (JSB) always starts with different expectations. Some seniors think their JSB was the best, while others simply expect something good from juniors. Either way, JSB is something everyone looks forward to. Here are some highlights from the night.


Even before the doors were opened, the front of the Harbor Hall was already filled with students taking pictures. Everyone was dressed up nicely. At 6 o’clock, people began to enter the hall with their friends and partners. 


As we entered the hall, we found our seats. This year’s theme was Hercules. The decorations definitely reminded me of the ancient Greek temples. The table decorations that represented different Greek Gods was an interesting idea too. 


One of the main highlights from the night was the play based on Hercules. The juniors

did a great job in making the play engaging and entertaining. The play was about the process of Hercules finding his power and love. The acting of Meg and Hercules was the best part of the play.


However, the biggest highlight was the tributes. Amanda Lim (12) said, “She was my closest friend. It was so sweet to hear her tribute. It made me cry.” Tributes from close friends made the event more meaningful and memorable. The tributes made me feel like a senior. I have watched and done the tributes for the seniors, but hearing it was definitely a different experience. 


The end of the night was filled with laughter and pictures. Since this is our last JSB, we wanted to take as many good pictures with all our friends as possible. Overall, this year’s JSB was the best JSB I went to. It might be because it is an event dedicated to the seniors, but the juniors definitely did a great job in putting all this together.

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...

“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...

By Amos Koay On April 22, the Varsity Sports Awards was held in Harbor Hall. This was when people who had joined a Varsity sport would get acknowledgment for all the blood, sweat, and tears they sacrificed to fight for Dalat.  Many amazing athletes got the recognition they deserved.

One exceptional athlete who was in soccer, basketball, and track, where he broke multiple ACSC and school records for his sprints—the Male Athlete of the Year, Kyle Tang.  The following quote is what Kyle Tang (12) had to say about his achievements: "Winning athlete of the year is an incredible honor, especially with the amount of sacrifices I've spent improving myself ...
