Formal Dinner / Book Night

By Jenny Yung

Last Tuesday was the second term formal dinner for Page House! Of course, like most dinners, you don’t have to be part of the house to attend, a bunch of people from other houses came too. Since it is a formal dinner, most girls come wearing dresses, and guys suits or dress shirts. Of course, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to dress up. One of my girl friends came wearing a polo shirt and nice pants. One of my guy friends decided to dress up like this:

There were a lot of pictures taken during the 30 minutes of reception before dinner. Albert took a lot of awesome pictures which can be found here. Formal dinner, as usual, is much better than regular dinner. However, the best part of the night wasn’t the scrumptious meal of soup, croissants, steak, and dessert, it was the signing of the Page Book! First, it was signed by the old and new ExComms of Page House. After that, it was signed by all of the freshmen in Page, our final induction into the house. Every freshman was introduced by an upperclassman who knew him or her fairly well. Most of the introductions involved inside jokes known by most people in the house, which brought on a lot of laughter. We’re now officially pageboys :)

My Friday Nights

It was the Friday night of midterms during my first year at Caltech, and I was alone in the library. That weekend (week five of term, if you’re keeping count) also happens to coincide with Halloween. But as a bright-eyed frosh trudging my way through Ma 1a lecture notes, I was just baffled that no one else was studying alongside me. Spoiler alert: not all Caltech students spend Friday night—or every night—studying or grinding sets, even during midterms. And especially on Halloween weekend.

In order to get a good sense of the Caltech community, there is no better way than to talk to the students themselves. To give a little bit of an inside perspective of Caltech, I asked some students a variety of questions. Questions ranged from conspiracy theories to Caltech-specific takes and other random topics.

What's on my desk?

I’d like to think that I keep a tidy desk, but hey— entropy prevails for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of all the items you could find on my desk, circa February 2023.

Searching for snow

My grandma always says that it rains whenever Dragonssuperior zodiac sign travel, and sure enough, it was raining when I landed at LAX for my last calendar year at Caltech. It’s officially my graduation year—but between leaving campus just before spring term in my freshman year and returning, twenty-one years old, as a junior, it really does feel like my time here has flown by.
