About an hour after the Palisades fire had broken out, residents hiking the Santa Monica mountains could see the smoke increase by the minute. “It was terrifying seeing the fire,” said Silvestre Morales, a Los Angeles resident. “At first I thought it was just going to be a small fire that the fire fighters would quickly put out; I would’ve never imagined that it would become such a horrific event.” Following the fire outbreak, all trails in the Santa Monica mountains were closed.

Maya Chin (‘26) plays Block Blast on her phone during her free block in Stockdale Community Center. Block Blast is a mobile game similar to Tetris and has two game modes. "I think a lot of people play [Block Blast], but I don't know how many people are willing to admit it,” Maya said. “Since I’ve downloaded it and brought it up to other people, I’ve seen them also download and play it. I’ve seen some crazy high scores which are not healthy; they probably spent at least 3 hours trying to get it.”

Six students display their freshly done nails, placing their hands in a circle and showcasing Qier Wang's ('27) various designs. Each nail design, unique in color and style, reflects Qier's creativity and precision on her tiny canvas, demonstrating the skill that has made her nail services a popular choice among students. Her prices range between $20-35. “Her services are super affordable and definitely worth the price,” Frannie Hinch (‘25) said. “It’s been super beneficial for me and all my friends.”

She believes that the mood and vibe of Homecoming asks help connect people throughout campus and make memories for those involved.

Hanbo Xu ('25), in his formal attire, enjoys a glass of apple cider, one of the many refreshments available during the pre-prom reception in front of the Alf Museum. “The cider was extremely extravagant, lavish, and rich, while the food looked very appetizing,” Hanbo said. “Holding these delicate cups made me feel like Gatsby. The toppings on the cupcakes glistened in the sun, as mouthwatering flavors invited a tsunami of joy in my brain.”

As Webb students depart from campus to enjoy the rest of the holiday season, it provides the perfect time to look back and see how Webb decorated their spaces to celebrate this festive season. This year, the Price Dining Hall is displaying a gorgeous, 20-foot Christmas tree, beautifully lit and decorated. Lighting up the Christmas trees with various colorful ornaments, Webb’s community service afternoon activity contributed greatly to the setup and assembling of the artificial tree. “It was very fun to set up the tree and bring holiday cheer!” Frannie Hinch (‘25) said. For many others, decorating the campus for community service has been rewarding to see the joy they bring to students, faculty, and staff.
Holiday Decorations Enliven Webb
Students sit around the fireplace, roasting marshmallows and apples on sticks before the party begins. The party was at the Upper Dorms this year, decorated with Christmas lights. “I hope the party brings the community together, as well as dorm spirit and everything because it's towards the end of the year," said Arthur Lu (‘24), a dorm prefect. “Many people are getting tired. We want to raise the holiday spirit for the last week of school finals.”

In the evening sun, students gathered at the museum steps in a chaotic mass. Some students took photos. Others waited for friends. And yet more continuously readjusted their clothing. But most attendees were wondering where the buses were. “It’s already 5:15,” said Ryan Ho (25’). “I thought the bus would be here by now.”

During lunch, many Webb students pack into the library to sit together and do homework. Due to the busy schedule that Webb puts on students, a lot of them try to start their homework early so their work is not overwhelming in the evenings. “I usually go to my dorm or the library to do homework during lunch,” Sochika Ndibe (’26) said. “I usually have many hours of homework to do every day, so I like to get a head start on it, so I am not working on homework for hours at a time.”
Stress affects teenagers’ mind across all school environments
Many Webb students spend their free time in the library watching a popular TV show like Riverdale and Euphoria. “Based off what I’ve seen, like in Euphoria, because the actors are older, they don't showcase an actual high school life properly,” Sochika Ndibe (‘26) said. “Since [the actors] are older [and] playing a teenager, from a girl’s perspective, it is going to make you think you should look more developed at a young age.” The actor, who plays Veronica Lodge, was 22 years old at the time of filming.
Media promotes unrealistic beauty standards
Being recognized by a peer for being responsible as a leader is always a joyous experience. Lucci Troendle (‘26), South Hutch prefect, embraces this moment by pondering who left him this positive comment. Being a leader for Lucci means enjoying the job and developing passion for the role, especially in the dorm. “I really enjoyed being in the dorm, so the idea of being a leader within the dorm was really appealing to me, and the more I engaged in the process, I realized that I really liked this job,” Lucci said. “Now that I could do it, I could not be happier.”
Leadership application culture
After an impressive 64 to zero defeat against Workman High School, Stratton Rebish (‘24), Troy Seanoa (‘24), and Ale Fountain (‘24) pose for a picture with Michael Dunford. “It was a nice win coming off back-to-back losing seasons, and it had a lot to do with Dunford and his coaching, inspiring us to believe which helped us keep winning,” Troy said. Under the leadership of Coach Dunford, the Gauls defense continued to have a stellar season, helping propel the team to a 12-1 record and playoffs for the first time in 4 years.
