For some, walking thousands of steps and navigating through swarming crowds without a clear path may seem like the worst nightmare; however, Freya Fu (‘26) lives for this laborious pastime known as shopping. Despite being stuck on campus, this Jameson resident constantly pursues alternative ways to enjoy her favorite hobby. This summer, while in Shanghai and Vegas, Freya spent her time well — shopping and managing a Depop side hustle, where she sold vintage clothing. As any avid shopper knows, it requires a consistent, long-term effort to create the perfect wardrobe. Freya not only employs this towards her closet, the majority being from Brandy Melville and Edikted, but towards her resume as well. In her free time, she loves improving upon violin, debate, and tennis, all of which she has practiced for more than five years. In the future, she hopes to channel her favorite TV show, Gossip Girl, by opening a boutique while studying business and marketing in New York. As for the WCC, she plans to use her expertly curated sense of style to continue Hot Take Tuesdays and emphasize a variety of opinions, assuring readers she will incorporate wide-ranging styles as the new Editor of Opinion.

Two posters lie side by side: on the left, Geoffrey Yang’s (’26) rough draft features a quick sketch with "We have Chemistry” with a simple outline of "Prom.” On the right, his final version for asking Maya Chin (’26) is carefully drawn with colored lettering and personalized elements spelling out "PROM” using the periodic table. "I thought it was a personal touch to the poster since we both liked chemistry,” Geoffrey said.

Students from Advanced Studies Fascism, a class that explores the rise and impact of fascist regimes, conduct research for their final projects. “Webb classes allow me to explore topics that I’m interested in. I feel like I have improved significantly as a writer,” Joyce Zhao (‘27) said. Like many other Advanced Studies humanities courses at Webb, Advanced Studies Fascism was created by a faculty member and challenges students to critically analyze historical events.

Webb students gathered on Thursday, October 31st in their most creative and fun costumes for the annual Halloween costume contest. The energy buzzed with excitement, and many students wore unique costumes. “It’s all about having fun and expressing ourselves,” said Joyce Zhao (’25), who dressed up as the chef from Ratatouille for the contest. The event was a lively embodiment of school spirit, bringing the Webb community together as everyone paraded down the Halloween contest in their different costumes.

Homecoming proposals at Webb have significantly declined in creativity in recent years. From underwater to La La Land-themed asks, students should continue the level of effort that has been put into these proposals in the past. “I think the best proposals are ones that include the interests of the other person and spin it creatively like we have seen at Webb in the past,” Caitlin Delgado (’25) said.

The fall sports teams are kicking off their season with strong performances. For instance, the football team showcases resilience in a tough match, the girls' cross-country team poses after a tiring race, and the boys' cross country and water polo teams practice for their next league game. “It was wonderful seeing huge improvements from everyone on the team,” said Dorothy Ma (‘25), a girls’ cross country runner. As these teams advance in their season, they are looking forward to hopefully seizing a spot in league and in CIF playoffs.
