The DSPs Kevin Wang (‘24), Hannah Hao (‘24), and Kate Alvarez ('25) smile at the camera as they prepare for the DSP Fall Social. Students can come to the front table and line up to get tickets for pie and free boba. From 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., students were coming up the gym hill to grab the free desserts. The boba truck, though, was the biggest hit of the night.

Webb students surround Roberto Ayala, world languages department faculty, and Elena Petrova (‘25) for the first storytelling event of this academic year. The seats quietly fill up as students start to exit their classrooms. With eager attentiveness, the audience absorbs themselves into Mr. Ayalas story about language. “For every story, there’s this one point where they say something that completely changes your perspective,” Hanbo Xu (‘25) said.
Storytelling builds community
House of Allan: the intriguing exhibit of Will Allan, Humanities Department Faculty, extensive and unique collection of Webb gear. This exhibit was put up for Alumni Weekend but is here to stay for at least a week. It includes Mr. Allan’s collection of clothes that he has gotten since he became a part of the Webb community in 1992; some pieces are vintage while some are new. T-shirts are an actual artifact so it is exciting to me as a librarian to have shirts from a long period of time that are connected to Mr. Allan, whether that is him as a student, teacher, or as a coach, said Dr. Mark Dzula, Director of Teaching and Learning Resources.

Actors perform in the house during dress rehearsal. The actors stand in the center aisle, preparing to fight. The performing area is decorated with small set pieces and scarves hung on the feature walls. “For the show that were doing, it really does suit the plot and the characters. It really works with the show, and Im excited to see how audiences react to it,” said Sydney Becker (‘24), an actor in the fall play.

As Webbies attempted to register for the SAT this year, many of them were met with similar results: every testing center was full. Following the closure of many test centers across the state due to the pandemic, many students at Webb have been forced to cross county and — in extreme cases — state lines to take the SAT. “I signed up for [my August SAT] in July,” Annie Han (‘24) said. “I think if I signed up in June, I wouldn’t have had to go that far.” Still, as students try to sign up earlier and earlier, many of them struggle to reserve a seat.

Webb students gathered at the quad listening to Mariachi classics such as “El Rey” by Vicente Fernandez and Son De La Negra by Mariachi Vargas. Among dancing and singing, students shared agua frescas, taquitos, and tamales. Latinos Unidos and the DEI department goes all out for this anticipated event, bringing all parts of the Webb community together. “It was really fun last year, I was excited for it,” Lucas Cardenas (‘25) said. “I hope they make it an annual event.”

The north side of the science building is blocked off due to the construction of the Bonnie Johnson Hall, a state-of-the-art science laboratory. The construction for the classroom began in early summer of this year and continued into the school year. “The construction is planned to be finished during the early second semester of this year.” Said Michael Hoe, Assistant Head of Schools. The students have been anticipating the finished result of the classroom.

Zodiac signs might not mean much to you, but once you meet Lisa Peng ('24), you will see that she embodies her astrological sign, a Capricorn. Lisa, like a Capricorn, is known for being persistent, hardworking, loyal, ambitious, and often making her achievements seem like they take no effort at all. Over the summer, Lisa exemplified these traits by immersing herself in rigorous programs that exposed her to different creative writing styles. She attended the New York Times program where she learned new techniques and practiced her writing skills. As a Photography Editor at the WCC, Lisa will make full use of the techniques she learned and continue her love for highlighting individual people. In other words, you had better keep an eye out: you may be featured in her next story.  Besides being a part of the WCC, she is also bringing her Capricorn energy to as a day student prefect and plans to be involved in organizing more Webb events. This year, Lisa plans to keep up her hard work taking on her new editing position while also incorporating many new creative pieces to the WCC using her greatest talent: an effortless ability to bring things from her imagination to reality.
