Berklee Antecol, Staff Writer

Having belly-flopped at a swim meet last year, Berklee Antecol (‘25) is sure to make a splash diving into the Webb Canyon Chronicle as a new staff writer. Despite her literal flop, Berklee persisted in thriving in swim. Although having no prior experience before Webb, she placed first in the JV league finals through her perseverance and positivity. As one of the most positive and bubbly people you will meet on campus, Berklee also likes to hang out with her friends in South Hutch, specifically watching movies on her friend’s bed. Focused on putting herself out there, Berklee is excited for her American Idea class, as she will be able to engage in deep discussions about important topics. In addition to improving her writing skills, Berklee joined journalism to write about topics she is interested in, such as women’s rights, and to have her voice heard. She also wishes to tell stories from a multitude of perspectives. Berklee strives to stand up for the things she believes in and continue to spread positivity in life. So, grab your rain jackets, because you are about to be splashed by Berklee’s dive and impact!

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.
