Webb Canyon Chronicle

George Cardenas, Editor of News

An avid music listener, George Cardenas (‘23)’s perfect weekend involves a homework-free day at the beach with “Night Boat to Cairo” by Madness blasting in the background. In fact, George considers himself to be a very easy-going, optimistic person, who loves nothing more than relaxing with his friends or experimenting on the piano. Although he does enjoy tranquility, George also works with his fellow members of the WSC honor cabinet to uphold Webb’s Honor Code. George is passionate about staying up to date with current events and wants to continue keeping everyone informed during his time on the Webb Canyon Chronicle. A typical Capricorn, George is disciplined, strategic, and clever— similar to a wolf, his self-proclaimed spirit animal. George looks forward to working on the WCC this year as Co-Editor of News and hopes to write authentic, factually correct articles that enlighten the Webb community.

Ryan Walker (‘23) and Alfonso Alvarez Seara (‘23) are seated in the Hooper Center, leaning into a game of Clash Royale. Seated nearby are other students, some passing the time during their free block and others catching up on homework. Both Ryan and Alfonso, not speaking a single word, are nonetheless fully immersed in the game. Ryan can be seen defending an attack from his opponent, his focus locked on his screen, and Alfonso is casually making adjustments to his cards.
