The ACS Spirit lives on ...

        ... forty years on!

It has been said that the ACS Spirit is simply awesome. So awesome that whenever ACSians get together, they would invariably chat incessantly about the alma mater with great pride. The common bond and shared values are unmistakable, as they would reminisce with gratitude the part ACS played in shaping their lives.

So when the Class of 66 got together recently to celebrate their 40th Anniversary at the Tanglin Club, many of the cohorts made it a point to be present – some flying in from as far as Thailand, China and Australia for the special occasion.

Among our guests were 15 dear teachers, who had made a difference in the lives of generations of ACSians. As usual, the inimitable Mr Lee Hah Ing, our ex-Principal, had our full attention when he recounted with much wit the ACS Spirit that runs strong in old boys. His speech was met with a long resounding standing ovation. The one and only Mr “Ernie” Lau then mesmerized us with his recital of “40 Years On” in his incomparable endearing style, which took many down memory lane.

No ACS class reunion is complete without teachers, who are adored for the part they played in touching the lives of many students. In appreciation, pledges (including a $5,000 donation by Robert Kwan Wai Meng) were made to ACS OBA Teachers Welfare Fund.

For further entertainment after dinner, Andrew Liew (of Shmoos fame) and Rex Hu got on stage and led a sing along of 60's hit songs till the wee hours.

It was certainly an evening to remember and special thanks go to the untiring efforts of Mirza Namazie and his organizing motley bunch.

The Best is Yet to Be!
