Red lights shine against the backdrop advertising the day student prefect (DSP) Winter Social, as a drum set awaits to be played by the Tonics, Webb’s very own student band. The DSP social was filled with Valentine’s Day decorations and activities and the event ended with The Tonics performing a few songs. “Since the social happened later in February, we chose to go with a Valentine’s Day theme,” said Kaylynn Chang (‘23), head day student prefect. “We just wanted to create a fun day for everyone.” Many students stayed in the Hooper Community Center during lunchtime to enjoy the festivities the DSPs prepared.
Etienne Griffon (‘23) smiles at the camera behind LED letters that spell out “DSP.” As a DSP, Etienne spent his time during the Winter Social passing out cookies and conversing with friends, such as Isaac Naren (‘23), a fellow DSP who stands on his right. “My job was pretty fun,” Etienne said. “There wasn’t much to it, but I basically made sure that the food didn’t run out.”
Once you get to know Noelani Chock (‘23), she might remind you of a series of fireworks, launching off a compact spot and bursting her colorful energy to those around her. Dedicated soccer player and avid K-pop fan, Noe catapults into the Webb Canyon Chronicle as the Chief of Media, with the ambitions of contributing to future media progression. Noe, ironically allergic to crabs, is a compassionate Cancer that carries the water sign trait of devotion and as a result, is eager to experience an explosive final year. When she is not blocking shooting balls in soccer as a goalkeeper, digging balls at her varsity volleyball practice, or igniting spirit events as head peer-advisor, you’ll find her kickin’ it back at the beach with friends, munching on some boba and sushi, or concocting her next colorful batch of slime. She hopes to continue the Webb Canyon Chronicle’s momentum from last year and organize an extensive project like the Unbounded Days video series. Her radiant presence and immense school spirit are impossible to miss on campus, so watch out — Noe is back to finish her senior year with a bang.Favorite song: “0x1 Lovesong” by TXT
