“Most of my interests don’t have any noble reason or specific objective. I just like doing them… For example, I just started doing origami, and there’s not that much purpose to it. I’ll probably get bored of it and stop doing it next week, and that’s completely fine.” – Kyle Li (12)

Rosh Roy (11) cheers during the spirit rally on Oct. 11. The rally ended with the juniors in first place, the seniors in second, the sophomores third, and the freshmen fourth. For the first time, the junior class organized the Homecoming dance, instead of the seniors. “The main reason is that the seniors can’t put as much devotion or dedication into planning Homecoming because of college apps,” junior class treasurer Andrew Lu said. “We took Homecoming because it was in our best interest. We can better plan for Winter Ball next year.” Photographers: Irina Malyugina (1-2, 7); Anoushka Buch (3-5); Carter Chadwick (6); Helen Zhu (8-9)
