Yuki Layman, Co-Editor of News

Having lived all around the globe from Shanghai, China, to Boston, Massachusetts, and most recently Washington D.C., Yuki Layman ('25) knows that home is where she makes it.! Yuki is an engaged student in all her classes, but it is her strong knowledge in Humanities that impresses her teachers. Especially, during her Advanced Studies Culture and Politics at the Border class, taught by one of her favorite teachers at Webb, Mr. Huerta. Yuki spends her free time in a variety of ways, either going to the village with friends or simply watching Top Boy, her personal favorite TV show that her brother highly recommended. Although she enjoys going out, she stays connected with her life back home by making sure to call her family every night. As well as staying up-to-date with current events, jumping into hot-topic debates with her lawyer dad and brother who is studying International Relations. Coming back to the Webb Canyon Chronicle this year as Editor of News, Yuki is ready to keep the Webb community informed accurately as a Jameson resident again, making Webb her “home” for the rest of year.

To end Spirit Night, the entire Student body dances to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. In addition to their own dance, each grade choreographed a section of “Thriller” for their own class to dance to. The seniors ended their section with an iconic Michael Jackson pose to cue the rest of the grade for the first ever Spirit Night Unity Dance. “I thought it was fun, but felt as though it wasn’t a good replacement for the skits during theme night,” said Ken Lin (‘24)
