Berklee Antecol, Co-Editor of Opinion

As a fashionista, Berklee Antecol (‘25) not only loves the design side of fashion but also the statistics. Although she wants to study economics or business in the future, Berklee also has a fascination with the fashion industry. Her personality is like a vibrant pink fabric in a mix of pastel colors. This gradient is carried through her experiences in the Webb community; wherever you are, she will stand out as a bright glow of energy and positivity. Like a seamstress selecting the right thread for the fabric, she works as an admission ambassador, introducing prospective students into the fabric of the Webb community. Yet Berklee's life is not just bold pink; she can settle into paler, calmer hues of pink as well. She loves to snuggle on the couch and click play on her favorite Netflix show, Gilmore Girls, or listen to calm music like Still Woozy to improve her homework efficiency. This year, as the Editor of Opinion, Berklee wants to jump into a fast-working mindset and to write and publish as many articles as she can. Like sewing haute couture, Berklee is always ready to go with fast quality work.

A look into the dorms that house over half of the students at Webb, and act as a new home away from home. Each dorm is unique, some having single floors, some having two, rooms with balconies, and rooms with entire backyards. Dorm life is the backbone of Webb, and it only makes sense that each dorm has its own culture, community, and spirit.

The creators of the Webb Spirit Squad, Geniya Parker (‘26), Mia Rooker (‘26), Nicole Samson (‘26), and Maya Chin (‘26) pose outside their station at the Club Fair. They cheered at students the whole fair, gathering in a ton of members, just to be disappointed when afternoon activities schedules interfered with their club plans. Since most games took place around the same time as other afternoon activities, it was difficult for club members to gather. “Yeah, our whole club was super devastated,” Maya said.

Piles of tests and millions of summatives means one thing: students need study guides. Christina Young (‘25) looks over her outline to an IPC summative study guide. Many students are making multiple paged study guides trying their best to prepare. “Especially with grades almost due, there’s a lot of stuff to finish.” Christina said, “I’m pretty stressed about it.”

In this festive season of upcoming holidays, gradually decreasing temperatures, and the ongoing World Cup, what is a better status update for the community than a fit-check week? Every day from Monday to Friday on the week of December 5th, we chose a faculty member with the most eye-catching outfit and interviewed them about their style preferences. With their different emphasis on weather, mood, and personal style, these faculty showcase the diversity of the Webb community. Browse through this photo gallery to learn more about the process behind choosing these amazing outfits!

As students walk down the steps of Avalon Bardot, many comment on how Webb has stepped it up this year. The venue includes several general resting spaces and a dance floor. The club’s multi-colored, dim lighting adhered to the theme of Moulin Rouge. Students explore the venue, some remarking on the tightness of the space and others just observing their fellow students from the banister.

Kathy Duan (‘25), Dorothy Ma (‘25), Jasmine Beseth (‘25), Saira Bhagat (‘25), and Ella Chin (‘25) take a break from the dance floor after a long night of dancing. They are resting at one of the many comfortable lounge areas around the venue. While posing for the camera they explain how fun yet tiring the dance floor was.

Valeria Gonzalez (23) and her date Ian Hoon (‘23) from Claremont High School get ready for the 360 photobooth. They plan out what poses to do while the camera is set up. Then, they enthusiastically pose while the camera takes in the action.

A group of seniors in a good mood, including Nathan Liu (‘23), Chance Rebish (‘23), Leo Levitin-Shilman (‘23), George Cardenas (‘23), Jacob Arias (‘23), Oma Sukul (‘23), and Francesca Lascano (‘23), hang out on one of the couches. They decided to spend the time relaxing and enjoying each other’s company over partying in the center of the high-energy mosh pit. “Im glad I got to spend one last Homecoming with the people I care about,” said Jacob.

All throughout Homecoming, students gathered on the dance floor, leaving it packed by the end of the night. The DJ plays many songs with strong beats, such as “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott, “Walk it Talk it” by Migros and Drake, and “God’s Plan” by Drake. With more students moshing, many students comment on the hot temperature and tightness of the mosh pit.

Omji Krishnan (‘26), Anne Meng (‘26), Madeline Robertson (‘26), Emily Shao (‘26), and Isamar Theobald (‘25) sit on a couch and some cushions on the lower level of the venue while the lines for the photobooth and the 360 photobooth stretch around them. They look up and smile at the camera while taking a much needed break from dancing.

After moshing, many students go to the drink bar to cool down; this is an amazing new feature that was not included at 2021 Homecoming. The menu includes three specialty drinks: The Gaul, Citrus Fuzz, and Homecoming. Many students wait in line for drinks, filled with joy as the bartender makes drinks quickly.

The Deans see students having fun at the 360 photobooth and decide to give it a shot. Rick Duque and Sarah Lantz, Deans of Students, and Ken Rosenfeld, Dean of Campus Life, do not disappoint the crowd of students watching them get their video taken. They decide to bring out some dance moves as the 360 photobooth swing around them.

Payton Delgado (‘25) decorates her room to fit her ultimate Pinterest aesthetic. Pinterest boards give Payton inspiration to create her dream room. “I wanted my room to be something that perfectly captured me. Pinterest definitely helped me fulfill that,” Payton said.
