Looking back all these years...






Looking back at some of our gatherings!!!
*******************************************************
Hi Johari

Think of the tiltle on the class SCSS 1976 seems to limit to just a mere 40+ people or maybe less. Memories fade. Age is catching up and is more than 31 years ago.

The long namelist of old classmates actually links back to the very first day when we met while in Primary One. I presume some of us who joined the wagon on the way may not know some cutie names. Let's just refesh a little since the day we started to learn.. A for Apple, B for Boy, C for Cup, ...... Z for Zebra.. while 1 + 1 = 2, 1 x 1 = 1 and while we sing... tommy thumb, tommy thumb where are you, here I am, here I am, how do you do.... How I wish I can still play "goli" now ... hahaha.

Primary One started for some of us way back in 1966, housed in the small wooden hut split to Primary 1A & 1Z. The old wooden hut had long been pulled down for new classroom blocks. If one can recall, it was the woodworking workshop near to the Principal's house. Well, it's a long long story. Let me just summarise the years of our studies, and the names of the RULING teachers in those years. For those in question marks, I really forgot or was not a student in that class.

1966 Primary 1A - Form Teacher - Ms Tan ....??
Primary 1Z - Form Teacher - Ms Mary Chong?

1967 Primary 2A - Form Teacher - ????
Primary 2Z - Form Teacher - Mrs Dawood

1968 Primary 3A - Form Teacher - Mrs Tan ??
Primary 3Z - Form Teacher - Ms Chong (Chong Yen Choo ?)

1969 Primary 4A - Form Teacher - ????
Primary 4Z - Form Teacher - Mr Zainal Dawood

1970 Primary 5A - Form Teacher - ????
Primary 5Z - Form Teacher - Ms Grace Chen

*** Just can't recall, was Mr Peter Howell (now a political sectary to Sarawak CM) one of our
Form Teacher in primary school ??? ***

1971 Primary 6A - Form Teacher - ????
Primary 6Z - Form Teacher - Ms Annette Wong

1972 Form 1A - Form Teacher - Mr Loh
Form 1B - Form Teacher - Ms Joan Teoh / Mrs Hanifah????

1973 Form 2A - Form Teacher -
Form 2B - Form Teacher - Mr. Lawrence Calvert????

1974 Form 3A - Form Teacher - Mr. Philip Kueh?????
Form 3B - Form Teacher - Ms Hilda Lim ????

1975 Form 4 - Form Teacher - Ms Liew?????

1976 Form 5 - Form Teacher - Ms Regina Szetu

Some of us from the SCS Primary 6A & Z mergered in Form 1A and 1B. Lots of new strangers (faces) at that time, pretties like Rokiah, Rohaya Junaidi, Saadiah Samat, Kasuma and handsome like Kaderi Ali, (these from Anchi School??) , Yeu Teck and Chee Ming. That's where the fun begins.

Then by the end of 1974, Form 3, some drop out and newbies joined. That's why it shrinked to a mere 40+ of us by the end of 1976 ...........

Regards to all

hmmm.. some how there is a difference. In primary school, there was a Primary 1A and Primary 1Z. I was in 1Z, so I remembered my Form teacher at that time was Luke's sister... Mary Chong.
Primary 2 was Mrs Dawood...
You are correct as you could be in Primary 1A and also Primary 2A...
That makes the difference..
