"Hair today, gone
tomorrow!" ... happy to be reunited! |
The ACS Class of 1960’s 50th Anniversary was celebrated with
much joy and nostalgia at the River View Hotel on 08 October
2010. Considering that 33 have migrated, 27 have sadly passed
away and 13 were untraceable, the turnout of 70 old boys
(including 6 who flew in from Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Canada) from the cohort of 174
was commendable – thanks to the fine efforts of the organising
committee; the attendance would have improved by one more if not
for one schoolmate getting married overseas!!

Gracing the
occasion were 6 teachers - Mr Lim Choon Mong, Mr Dennis Goh
Chin Chye, Mr Sng Hwa Par, Mr Wan Fook Weng, Ms Yeo Chee Kai
and Mr Peter Joe Chia. Speaking on behalf of the teachers,
Mr Wan urged the cohort to help keep the ACS Spirit alive.

In addition to
congratulatory messages received from friends who were
unable to be back for the event but were present in spirit,
Chen Choong Kong from Australia and Dennis Tay from Canada
also spoke on behalf of the overseas old boys.
A PowerPoint presentation of old
photographs brought back many memories and laughter as the
guys saw themselves in their salad days, and a tear or two
from some.
