Webbies have a blast at the Holiday Party

Stephanie Ma and Chloe Wang

December 16, 2023

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.”

About the Contributors

Stephanie Ma, Editor-in-Chief

Stephanie Ma (‘25) is no stranger to the spotlight and the gaze of an attentive audience. Taking on roles such as Editor-in-Chief of the WCC, president of Webb Thespians, and co-head of the honor council, Steph is passionate about serving the community. As a head HC, she hopes to direct other students through the disciplinary process and foster community values. A dedicated member of Webb’s theatre department, she designs lights in the fall, works as a stage manager in the winter, and performs onstage in the spring. Although Steph’s limelight is usually directed at helping her fellow students, she illuminates her own talents through music. Since learning guitar the summer before her freshman year, she instantly fell for the instrument's rich melodies and its ability to channel her vibrant energy. Playing the guitar allows Steph to express her emotions freely without pressure, inspiring her to write original songs. She has debuted her golden melodies at the Claremont Village, serenaded the crowd at open mic events, and performed at Jubilee. Steph is ready to shine vividly during her senior year as she encourages her fellow writers to step into the spotlight. Favorite Song: You're On Your Own Kid by Taylor Swift

Chloe Wang, Social Media Manager

Upon meeting Chloe Wang ('24), her laid-back personality reveals itself. Besides spending a relaxing summer back home in China, Chloe also ventured into the Inner Mongolia, casually unwinding on a camel's back while she rode through the desert and grasslands. As she returns to Webb, Chloe continues to express her carefree nature when hanging out with her friends at the Claremont Village, playing video games, experimenting with makeup, and watching anime. Chloe seeks to expand and learn more about her own culture, especially when she is away from home, and especially while she is experiencing new and different ways of life, such as living at a boarding school in a different country. Chloe has the quiet strength of immersing herself in her own world and is focused on improving her journalistic skills and her knack for innovation. As the Webb Canyon Chronicle’s Social Media Manager, Chloe hopes to increase the readership for the website by promoting the WCC on social media. Cross paths with Chloe Wang on campus, and her dynamic personality is impossible to miss. Song: Melody – 陶喆
