Missed connections

West Side Story shares Trojans’ anonymous love confessions for Valentine’s Day.

Taelim Yoon, Yearbook Co-Editor-in-Chief and Co-Design Editor • Mar 7, 2026

Have you ever noticed someone cute in the hallways, but never had a chance to talk to them? Or perhaps a special someone in your math class that’s just out of reach? Each year, West Side Story publishes Missed Connections — a collection of anonymous love notes students submit for a chance to send a secret message. See what students had to say in this year’s Missed Connections.
