By Madeline Tanaka About halfway through the 2026-2027 girls’ volleyball season, Westmont’s varsity team has had a bit of a rocky start. Despite this, the team continues to battle through every game under the coaching of Russell Davis. I am joined by this year’s captains seniors Orion Chang and Melissa Pasic to receive insight on…

By Josie Barker Recently, I’ve found myself quite lonesome, and have resorted to methods I would have never ever pictured myself using in the past. Downloading a platonic friend-finding app was, without a doubt, the lowest point of my social career. I sat at the Olive Garden, anxiously bouncing my legs beneath the table, my…

It requires intense focus, practice, hand-eye coordination, and precise timing. But a not-so-well-known form of juggling is combat juggling. The sport has…

By Rosie Lu No craft gets as professional-looking and eco-friendly as foil embossing. Both elegant and versatile, embossed aluminium pieces serve well as picture frames, ornaments, scrapbooking stickers, or even journal covers.
