Reunion of the Saints Sept 2012 - 5 years ago !
My, time does fly. This was some of the 'jam' session we had when about 60 of us 'old boys' from the class of 1978 met in 2012 at Joan Bowen Cafe at St Andrew's School to celebrate our 50th year of existence. In 1978, all of us were 16 (go figure) and that year was the GCE 'O' (General Certificate of Education) Levels which was mandantory for all students at Secondary 4 level.
Most of us went our separate ways to the then 7 junior colleges, polytechnics and ITEs and we never saw each other for practically 34 years until 2012.We realised that "time was running fast away" and now (2012) was the best time to meet up and reminisce old times.
Playing the School Hymn for our 'Boys'
This last year 2016 had been an eventful year and we lost 4 of our 'brothers' ; it was heartbreaking to hear of each of their passing, and I was familiar with at least 2 of them.
So this video of 'Hey Jude' with the boys singing in the background was our (mine and Paul Ezekiel) way of giving back some time to reflect and 'go back' to when life was about singing the Beatles songs, playing football in the hot afternoon sun, sweating buckets and stinking the classrooms as a result, playing truant, coming late, detention class and all manner of shenanigans 16 year olds get into.
Did I mention we also had to study for our 'O" levels ? LOL.
