Annalise Centeno (’26) and Ella Berg (’26) peacefully sit on Huntington Beach with the company of Dr Nguyen’s corgi, Ein. Although the weather was foggy, the beach was still filled with other corgis and attendees. “I really enjoyed relaxing on the beach near the ocean, along with the company of so many puppies,” Annalise Centeno (’26) said. The event was a huge success.

The College Guidance Office, hidden between the trees of lower campus, with a table and chairs outside providing a quiet place to work, is where students receive advice and support while preparing for and applying to college. “I think it's hard because it's two counselors supporting 100 students,” said Emily Thornton (’25). “I think you can feel really unsupported.” Only having two counselors for so many students might lead to a lack of knowledge for students about the college process.

Does Webb put too much stress on college admissions?

Frequent Cafe 1175 visitor Daniel Xue (’27) purchases a jasmine milk tea and a choco bun after patiently waiting in a long line during X Block. The cafe offers savory and sweet breads, ordered from 85º Bakery every morning, along with a choice of coffees, teas, and refreshments. “One of my favorite items to purchase is the Arizona [tea],” said Daniel. Cafe 1175 offers a variety selections that students enjoy and is looking forward to new additions of foods in the future.

In Advanced Studies Anatomy & Physiology, Marc Zambrano (‘26), Isamar Theobald (‘25), Pristine Thomas (‘25), Geniya Parker (‘26), and Berklee Antecol (’25) work on making a muscle microanatomy booklet to help them study. Working on projects like this helps students learn more about the subject. “There is less emphasis on tests and there are more projects,” said Geniya. “It makes learning more fun and engaging, so I end up learning the material better.”

Why is Webb removing AP classes?

Female cat Fuego –– “Fire” in Spanish –– belongs to Susanna Linsley, Director of Experiential Learning. Fuego waves at the camera, welcoming you to hear her story. The name “Fuego” was suggested by Dr. Linsley’s kids, as they liked the idea that it is one of the threats California constantly faces; naming their cat “Fire” symbolizes their kitten is the fierce protector of their realm. Along with her brother Oso, Fuego is the one of the two first kittens adopted by Dr. Linsley and her family. “We knew we wanted two of them because I had two kids,” said Dr. Linsley. “I also think everybody needs company.”

Stories behind the faculty cats

In Webbs new innovation wing, new computers line the walls of studio B. With amazingly high GPU and stunning graphics, students' reactions are overwhelmingly positive, “The computers will really benefit the future of Webb, and Webb GPT, it will also help with student development” Says Nora Mu (‘27). The computers in studio B are also not too far off from the ones that are tasked with powering AI. Seeing a actual example of these computers can help us understand how AI is powered.

On this table is Biscoff Crumbles, one of the most iconic drinks that the boba store Nobibi has to offer. It has a strong cinnamon taste blended into the cream. “The unique and sophisticated caramel sweet taste reminds me of cafes in Shanghai, which is my hometown,” Ethan Xi (‘27) said. The taste of boba is a signature Asian taste that brings students with Asian roots a connection to their culture.

Natalie Au (‘26) portraying Pablo Picasso gives her presentation about Picasso’s life and achievements while Anna Park (‘26) records her as part of the project. Other students performing at the central tables in the library speak as their Spanish-speaking figures as well. “I had the most creative freedom during this project out of all my years [of Spanish] and [got] to bring in my passions from outside of Spanish class,” Natalie said. The project was an intriguing scene for anyone who saw students in their costumes; what happens behind the scenes?

Jaeho Lee (‘28) receives a notification. He goes to a secluded place, opens his phone, and starts deciphering the fourth clue. Having successfully made it to the first three checkpoints, he is now tasked with figuring out the rest of the riddles leading him to the remaining checkpoints. But the clues will only get harder and harder to crack. “Decode the clues or tag as many as possible!” said Kenny (‘25). Soon, the zombies will swarm the checkpoints––Jaeho must think of something quick.

  I think it’s no surprise that I would agree with Ms. Lepore. And I’ll second the GREAT JOB. Let’s continue to have student-led activities that build spirit and community across the campus! As always, let me know what I can do to help make that happen!

I love theme nights so much. It gives everyone an opportunity to do things they don’t normally get to do. There are opportunities to act, create props, choreograph, do tricks, dance, and so much more. If you want to go all out and dress in full costume every day the week you can, but if you just want to spend 5 more minutes in the morning to wear a specific color in order to support your class you can do that too. Theme Nights allows you do do things you never would get the chance to do otherwise. I’m so glad we still got to have it this year!

This is foolish; it’s a complete waste of time for those who don’t wish to participate, and the fact that it is mandatory makes it even worse. I don’t see any reason why every student needs to be dragged into this, and those who want to do utilize their time better has no choice but to waste their time doing things they don’t want to do.

  Hello Webb Student!
  
  We are glad to hear your opinion!
  Ryan Vidales, the WSC Head Exec says, “Theme Nights is supposed to bring classes together. One may choose not to participate and will receive no penalty.”
  
  At the Webb Canyon Chronicle, we aim to represent the students’ voices, so let us know if you would like to talk more about this topic with the WCC as your platform.
  
  Thank you for contributing to the conversation,
