“I like anything that’s exciting to me, anythi

“I like anything that’s exciting to me, anything that is an adventure that I don’t know what I’m getting myself into. It’s kind of a thrill for me and I like that feeling. I love drop towers. It’s terrifying being at the top. There’s something that I find really fun about losing control for a few seconds.” – Annabelle Ju (12)

Alex Kumar (11) smiles at Kismet Singh (12) during “Booby Trap,” directed by Katelyn Chen (12) at Student Directed Showcase, which took place last Friday and Saturday. The show also included “An Absolutely True Story (As Told By a Bunch of Lying Liars),” directed by Shyl Lamba (12); “Marvin’s Room,” directed by Joel Morel (12) and Chinglish, directed by Kathy Fang (12). “Being a director, you have to manage not only your own schedule, but also your entire cast’s schedule, as well as coordination with tech, our supervisors, and so on,” Shyl Lamba (12) said, describing his experience directing. “I see everything that’s going on. I see all the different tech that’s coming in. I see how the plot is slowly being unveiled. It just really opens up the world of the play.” Photographer: Helen Zhu

The boys JV team won the first Kicks Against Cancer game of the night, beating Pinewood 1-0, and the girls team’s game against Notre Dame ended in a 2-2 draw. In the last game of the night, the boys varsity team won with a score of 6-1 in a game against Woodside Priory. Members of the teams have sold blankets, lanyards and other goods throughout the past week, along with hosting a Chipotle fundraiser, to raise money for Camp Okizu in the last annual Kicks Against Cancer event, following eleven years since it was initiated in 2009.
