12 3) A group of our scouts ventured on a bicycle trip to the Kota Tinggi waterfalls during the first term holidays. This was a successful trip that was entirely planned and executed by the scouts themselves. 4) The patrol system was actiyily practised and patrol meetings were held throughout the year with several projects organised by the patrols themselves. These included a trip down Kallang river by raft, patrol hikes and visits to several houses to entertain the less fortunate among us. Inter-patrol competitions were again conducted and the winning partol was Ram patrol led by P /L Yeo Chuen Eng. SENIOR TROOP: The Aquila (Senior) Trooo. comprising five patrols, has had a very active year. Three of our Senors, George Joseph, Wilson Goh and Quek Yong Kang, attended the recent Thailand Jamboree. During the course of the year several hikes and camps were organised. The seniors were also on duty at many public functions. In badges too, they have done well; the number of First Class Scouts in the troop being thirteen. We are sure that at least a few of these will become 'Pengakap Singa' next year. The main project for the year was the Expedition to Mount Ophir in Malacca in the month of August. Seventeen Seniors joined the expedition and all reached the summit of the mountain. We have every reason to be proud of them for they have not only achieved something for themselves but also won for the senior troop the honour of being the first senior troop from the Republic of Singapore to conquer the mountain. The possibility of forming a Rover Crew is being considered and the Group is on the lookout for material to run this section of the Group. On the whole this has been a highly successful year for scouting at St. Andrew's but we end on the hopeful note that the coming year may be an even more successful one and that we may build on the foundation that has been laid this year.

13 MOUNTAINEERING: EXPEDITION TO MOUNT OPHIR At four o'clo:::k in the afternoon of August the 12th, the last weary member of the St. Andrew's Expedition to Mount Ophir climbed to the summit. A dream had come true to many and a mission was accomplished by the Senior Troop. For the scouters, the efforts put in had not been in vain. The excitement on the fa:::es of the scouts was their reward. The team had left Singapore at 8.10 a.m. on the 11th amidst a rousing send-off. Among those who saw the team off were the D.C. of Toa Payoh District, the S_!Jonsoring Authority Mr. F. Thomas, parents. Scouters and friends. The journey by -train took four and a half hours and this, in itself, was the first experience for many of the boys. At pm.. the team arrived at Batang Malaka, thirty miles from Malacca Town. The bus ride to town took one hour. The scouts spent the afternoon sightseeing in town and passed the night at the Malacca Boy Scouts Headquarters in Jalan Mata Kuching. The climbers were awakened at 5.00 am. on the 12th. After taking a good breakfast. the team left for the Asahan Reservoir by chartered bus. The reservoir is thirty-three miles from the town. A shout of eagerness and excitement went up when the climbers caught the first glimpse of Mount Ophir in all her glory. Th'e thick clouds which covered her summit from view added to the challenge. At 9.15 am., with eager hearts and in high spirits, the climbers marched up the slopes. They had to climb three hills in all. After the first thirty minutes, the smiles were gone for, although Mount Ophir is only 4,187 feet in height. the climb is not easy. The s:::outs had to follow a path which was at places slippery. Before long many of them were struggling but encouragement from the scouters kept them going. To make matters worse. it started to rain heavily at eleven o'clock. Despite the rain, the ciimbers continued their journey. So far they had been walking through primary jungle. At about n.m. they had finished the first hill and at P.m. the party had arrived at the waterfall on the slopes of the second hill. A break of forty-five minutes was given for lunch. At 2.15 p.m. the boys continued the climb. They did not have much to go for the waterfall marks the 'three-quarter-point' of the journey. At this time visibility was poor because of the cloud. It was also getting cold and a few of the climbers complained of c;amps. By 3.00 p.m., most of them had reached the peak of the second hill. The climb up the last hill was most exciting. for in many places the climbers had to go down on all fours. Rooes were not necessary but the branches and roots of the trees were a great helo. Cliffs had to be scaled. The exhausted climbers arrived at the summit in twos and threes. the last one at 4.10 p.m. Though tired, the boys found the energy to shout and sing for they were the first Senior Scouts from Singaoore to set foot on the summit of Mount Ophir. Some members ot the Summit of Mt. Ophir The view from the summit was magnificent. We appeared to be on a island in a sea of white clouds. The sunset was a gorgeous S;l,!ht, the last ray of the sun vanishing at 7.15 p.m. The night was extremely cold and many were up at 5.00 a.m. because they could not sleep anymore. Many were seen doing exercises to keep warm. At 9.00 a.m. on the 13th the team left the summit. The descent was very much easier. Only one stop for rest was taken. The last climber arrived at the foot at 1.00 p.m. They took the last glimose of the conquered but proud mountain at four o'clock before leaving for Batang Malaka in a chartered bus. The team left Batang Malaka at about midnight, arriving in Singapore on the morning of 14th August On the whole, it was a memorable experience for all of us. The Expedition Leader. 65 -

Lawrence Wee CPL. Lim Keng Meng The Unit welcomes O.C. Teo Chin Chye as its Commanding Officer and should like to place on record our appreciation for the services rendered by Mr. M. M. Yusuf who acted as Liaison Officer for the greater part of the year. This year may be regarded as a year of achievement and the Unit also managed to be at full strength for the whole year; this together with the co-operation of the cadets gave the Unit an air of precision and efficiency. ACTIVITIES: The scope of activities offered to A.T.C. cadets is wide and interesting. Some of those activities are Week-end training camps range practices, aeromodelling, signals, engineering, cadet exchange schemes (Overseas Visits). and air-experience flights. The Unit was well represented in most of the activities mentioned. The Unit's first Jungle Hike from School-via MacRitchie to Pierce Reservoir nroved to be a successful one and it was a real test for the cadets. - Annual Training Camp - The Unit was represented by ten cadets. The highlights of the Camp were flights in fighter and transport aircrafts, weapon training and station visits. ACADEMIC: The year started off with the recruitment and the response was most encouraging. The Unit secured 85% and 80% passes respectively in the Recruit and Basic Examinations. The top recruit securing maximum marks was also from this unit. Both the senior N.C.O.s are at present in the Advance Training Class. Classes are held on Saturdays both in School and H.Q. The Corps now has an Auster Aircraft of its own - it is used for instructional purposes to educate the cadets in the field of aviation. SPORTS: For the second successful year the Unit organised the Inter-Unit Hockey Tournament. A total of twenty teams participated. We were ultimately placed third. Mrs. Thomas presented the prizes. The unit did fairly well by being placed fourth in the Inter-unit Shooting Tournament. The Unit was also represented in the Inter-Unit Table-Tennis Tournament. UNIT ACTIVITIES: There was a smart turn-out in the Inspection in honour of the School Warden Mr. F. Thomas. It was followed by a Tea-Party. Other guests were Sqn. Ldr. C. Samuel and Flt. Lt. Harbans Singh. All three spoke highly of the Unit's achievements - as the Unit, though without an officer, was one of the most active units and this was due to the capability and enthusiasm of the cadets. The unit was requested to give a Guard-of-Honour for the School's Speech and Founder's Day. 'YEOMAN SERVICE': Most of the cadets rendered voluntary assistance at various functions some of which were the Singapore Grand Prix, Hospital Nite, University Carnival, Serangoon District Athletic Meet and the School's Fun Fair and Athletic Meet. All the cadets participated in the Republic's Independence Day Parade. The interest and loyalty of the members together with the encouragement from our H.Q. will, I am sure see us into another successful year. In being members of the Corps we are right in accepting the Corp's Motto 'Venture -Adventure' but let us not forget our obligation to our School, let us upkeep the name of the school and go UP and ON!

15 MUSIC SOCIETY Ad viser Choirmaster Chairman - Secretary - Asst. Secretary Treasurer - :\Ir. V. C. C. Quek :\fr. R. Chan Laurence Chan Gloria Solomon Linda Teo Carol Oehlers Since its formation, the St. Andrew's Choral Group has played and is still playing, an active role in promoting the musical sense of the school. Right from the beginning of this year, the choir, consisting of 40 members, held regular practices, usually on Friday afternoons, and on the 6th of April we held an 'Evening of Folk Songs and Hymns' at the school hall. Teachers, old boys and members of the school gave rousing support to this concert. Also during the second term, the choir, being in the Serangoon District, held practices at the Sang Nila Utama Secondary School hall in preparation for the function proper 'Music and Dance Festival' on 26th May at the Singapore Conference Hall. This was the Festival of Music and Dance organised by the Ministry of Education and the warm public support was indication of the interest created. After the mid-year exams. the group held regular Tuesday and Friday practices in preparation for another concert. During these practices the adviser Mr. V. Quek assisted Mr. R. Chan in polishing up the general presentation of the group. LINDA TEO, Asst. Secretary

16 SOCIAL WORK GROUP Advisers :\Ir. F. Thomas :Vliss Lenn Mei Ling Chairman - Seto Wing Hong Hon. Secretary - Gloria Solomon Asst. Secretary Safiyeh Namazie Treasurer - Sandra Liu Quarter Master - Wong Meng Meng Case Master Sng Eng Juay Although the Social Work Group is a society long established in St. Andrew's School there is still some misconceotion, on the part of the students, as to what the society really stands for. We, the present committee, will take this opportunity to make explicit the prerequisites of the society. One does not join the Social Work Group merely because one's friends are in the Group because it is the fashion in St. Andrew's School to be a m_ember of the Social Work Group. The Social Work Group is not a society for frivolity; we do not promise fun. Ours is a society which demands much time and effort from its members, and if you are not one who feels a genuine desire to help the less fortunate and who finds pleasure when doing so, then the Social Work Group is not the society for you. We trust that future committeess will be more discriminate in membership enrolment and look to them to uphold the achievements and integrity of the society. The past year has seen much activity and some achievement by the more responsive members of the Group. The fortnightly food distribution to the Potong Pasir villagers has been the Group's most consistent job. We have often given our assistance for flagdays and promised our help to St. Andrew's Mission and Orthopaedic Hospitals and St. John's Home for the Aged. In the June of 1965, the Group opened free afternoon tuition classes for the Secondary Ones. However, this project is to be replaced this year by a proposed student Survey. For last year's Christmas season the Social Work Group combined with the School Choir to carol and distribute gifts at the Childrens' Homes. This project was financed by the profit obtained from a jumble sale organised by the Group earlier during the year. We hope that this will continue to be an annual affair. Last year, the Constitution for the Group was also formulated. This task was carried out with the helo of our Adviser and Princioal of the School, Mr. F. Thomas. Other functions include case - work, helping the needy in- the School, helping poor families to apply for Social Welfare or other aids and giving small gifts to poor families. In all these activities our advisers were indeed a great help and without them many of our functions would not have been as successful. There is much we have done but, with its present membership of over a hundred, there is much more the Social Work Group can do. GLORIA SOLOMON, Hon. Secretary

The society held a series of Inter-class Debates on a knock-out basis at the beginning of the year. Pre-U 1 Arts 2 emerged winners, beating Pre-U 2 Arts in the process. Our junior speakers in Sec. 1 and 2 managed to get to the Semi-finals of the Inter-School Junior Debate organised by the C.Y.M.C.A. Also during the first term, our representative in the Elocution Contest held by the Rotary Club. Amy Chua, came in third. In the 'Leaders of Tomorrow' Oratorical Contest held by the Junior Chamber of Singapore, our representative, Eddie Teo, reached the Finals. l n the school Elocution Contest, which is becoming an annual affair, Koh Buck Koon of 4 Arts 1 won the trophy donated by Mr. Vivian Quek.

Thus the activities of the However, interclass debates between Secondaries One and Two were held during the second term and the net result was a draw. To compensate for the rather poor performance of the L.D.D.S., we have drawn up a very extensive programme for next year. The activities planned include inter-class debates, amateur dramatics and oratorical contests. When these suggestions were put to vote, dramatics was more in demand. In closing, I would like to thank Miss Ivy Samuel and the office bearers for their invaluable work TONY INGHAM, Hon. Secretary.

Ronald Chan Wong Meng Meng Lim Kay Phong 'J\!ellie Har Chan Thian Lye Laurence Chan Sec. IV: Lim Kay Wan Pre U I Arts: Tan Eng Choo Pre U II Arts: Quek Ser Shin As usual the Historical Society continued to be active. The Society participated in many inter-school Historical quiz competitions with other secondary schools in Singapore, including Victoria School, Beatty Secondary School, Raffle's Girls' School and Raffle's Institution. Some time in May, four of our members participated in an interesting Historical Debate organised by Raffles Institution. The motion of the debate was "The achievements of Alexander the Great were undoubtedly greater than those of Shih Huang-ti". Our team opposed the motion and emerged victorious. In addition, the Society organised a series of talks covering subjects of History, Sociology. and Current affairs. In March, the Honourable Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Rajaratnam kindly rendered us a very inspiring talk on "Our New Identity". In June, a staff member of the Secret Societies Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department gave a talk on "Gangsterism in Singapore" and later in July, Mr. Alex Josey spoke to us about "Asian Traditionalism in Modern Politics". At the end of these talks. student members were given the opportunity to question the speaker in order to clear up any doubts they many have had regarding the subject of the speech. These question-and-answer sessions were aimed at stimulating interest in current affairs and building up a keen awareness of the world around us, for ultimately, it is the world around us that makes History NELLIE HAR, Hon.

The office-bearers were elected at a general meeting on 31st March Membership of the Society totals around 120. The Society has widened its excursion programme. During the third term of 1965, Pre-U I Arts (1965) visited the Jurong Brickworks, the site of marine deposition and erosion at Tuas, the industrial site at Jurong, the prawn-beds at West Coast Road, and the soil eroded slopes at Clementi. These places were visited by the Pre-U I's (1966) early this year. In the first term of 1966, the Society also organised two hikes along the Kallang River to its sourse at Pearce Reservoir. However, nothing much was gained from these two trips. The trips to the Potong Pasir and Mandai market-gardening areas, however, were very informative. During the second term of this year, the Society visited the Port of Singapore Authority; and later toured the waterways of Singapore Harbour. Our recent excursions included a tqur of the Jurong Shipyards; and a visit to the Singapore Plywood Factory- the fourth in importance in the world as a manufacturer of plywood. We also plan to visit the industrial area along Bt. Timah Road. On behalf of the Society, I would like to express our appeciat10n to the enthusiastic participation and direction of our advisor Mrs. Cheong in all our activities HO WAH LOONG, Secretary.

George Xg Kian Seng Roy Joseph Donald Lelah Gerald Lee Georgie Lee Olive Oh This year the Science Society was one of the most active soc1et1es in the school. Apart from holding annual excursions and free film shows, it organised various other activities for the members. It started by having a science quiz for the Sec. I and II students and followed this up by having and starting various scientific projects around the school such as the labelling of trees in the school compound and the collecting of butterflies. Late in the second term a Science Week was held during which there were the following competitions:- 1) A written Maths Competition for Pre U students. 2) A slides identification Contest. 3) A cross-word puzzle Competition for each of the various forms in school. During the first term, the school had a Fun Fair and the Science society became the first society ever to put up a stall. The amount collected was in the region of $450. Our thanks go to Mrs. George for all her invaluable aid and advice; to the Boarding House boys who helped to erect and run the stall; and to all the others who have helped us in this contribution to the school. The society had the honour of being elected President of the Pro-Term committee of the Singapore School Science council. We drafted the constitution and paved the way for the formation of this council. The society was also invited to participate in a number of quizzes the results of which were excellent

22 Results of Science Quizzes 1966:- 1) Shell Trophy for Sec. 4-1st. 2) Lim Tay Boh Shield for Sec. 4-1st. 3) Beatty School Quiz for Sec. 4-1st. 4) S.J.I. and C.H.I.J.

The society also represented the school in the Hobbies Exhibition organised by the Y.M.C.A. and came in second. There are other activities tentative in the 3rd term, the most important being an Inter School Projects Competition for a Trophy donated by Mr. V. Quek. In ending we should like to thank all those who have helped in making the year 1966 a wonderful one for the society. Our special thanks go to Mrs. George for all she has done and to Lau Kee Siong and Leong Tin Fook for all their help and tasks performed. D. LELAH, Hon. Secretary.

U Representatives - Miss Lenn Mei Ling Zee Kok Eng Loke Yoon Cheong Elaine Low Kwek Chiow Yiap Tan Sion Cheng Linda Teo Charlie Tan Tan Cher Soon Szeto Wing Hong Sandra Liu Yap Neng Boon Wang Cheng Yeng The Christian Group is an inter-denominational Christian Society. It functions with a two-fold purpose: firstly, to evangelise those students of the school who do not know Christ and secondly, to edify those already in the fold. Weekly fellowship meetings are held on Fridays in the Main Hall. The programme includes chorus singing, organised games and messages on a wide range of topics on Christianity. Special meetings, such as film shows, are also conducted. Prayer and Bible study sessions are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectively. Although these meetings are held during recess, attendance has been most encouraging. In the early part of the Second Term, the Christian Group conducted an Evangelistic Campaign. The theme of the Campaign was "Good News for a New Age" and the speaker was Mr. Philip Heng. Four students committed their lives to Christ during the Campaign. - 75

24 Our outdoor activities included a Retreat for members at Tanah Merah on 16th April, a hike along the pipe-line from Mandai to Bukit Timah Road and a combined p1cmc with the Christian Groups of St. Margaret's and St. Hilda's School on 6th August at Pulau Blakang Mati. Realising the need to reach out to the student population effectively, this year, the Christian Group has begun the publication of an organ "The Truth". To quote the editorial of the first issue: "We know the power of the printed word; how it can speak to the heart where no individuals can, and reach places where we least expect. It is for this impact that the printed word can make that it is being relied upon; not as a last resort but as a fellow campanion in the yoke of the labour of love in Jesus Christ". To date, two issues have been published. The Christian Group is very much indebted to her adviser, Miss Lenn Mei Ling and the Chaplain of the school, the Revd. T. A. McKenzie for the help and encouragements they have given. The Bible study sessions, for example, are conducted by the Revd. McKenzie. Under their guidance and God's providence, there is no doubt that we shall continue to serve christ faithfully in this School. KWEK CHIOW YIAP, Hon. Secretary.

Seto Wing On, Catherine Seah, Lim Joo Leong, Mr. Rajamoney The Chapel Fund restarted this year and had its first meeting on 5th May, 1966 at the Principal's office. We do not have much activities except to distribute the collection money as evenly as possible. So far the Chapel Fund has given money to the Social Work Group, Junior Scripture Union, Church of The Ascension and the Saint Andrew's Mission Hospital. The Chapel Fund also donated $60.00 for a 42 inch daylight screen. One of our projects is helping the needy students. We could appreciate it if there are any students in this school who are in need of money to approach any of the Chapel Fund Committee members for help. We hope that the student body will help us by donating generously to the Chapel Fund Collection Yours in Christ, KENNETH PANG, Hon. Secretary.

Secretary Treasurer - Committee Members Mr. Ng Chong Kiat Mr. Goh Kng Tiat Wong Thiam Ming Chui Che Yuen Lee Yoke Lan Lim Kay Phong Leong Chung Lee, Ngo Chung Min, Le Yong Ho, Chung Ya Sew, Goh Peng Whatt. The Chinese Language Society was formed in July 1966 in response to the emphasis laid on the second language. The aim of the society is to uplift the standard of the Chinese Language in our school and to give whatever help to the students if necessary. We are grateful to have Mr. Ng Chong Kiat and Mr. Goh Keng Tiat as our advisers, who, through their kind assistance, had rendered the formation of the society possible. There are about 150 members with the majority from the lower secondary classes. Owing to the late formation of the society, relatively few activities were organised. However, Chinese classes were held for Secondary III & IV pupils during the August holidays. Our representatives did fairly well in an inter-school quiz held at St. Joseph's Institution. The society has planned a series of activities for the third term, the first of which being a speech contest which will be held on Saturday 17th September. We look forward to more support from the members and a more active term. LEE YOKE LAN, Hon. Secretary

28 LIBRARY REPORT Group A: Group B: Teacher in Charge Librarian Maintenance of library premises Senior Librarians - School Librarians Preparation and preservation of Senior Librarian School Librarians Miss Molly Goh Mahbubani Kishore Lim Taw Ewi & Poon Teck Heng Robert Wong, Jenny Lew, Tan Peck Luan, Wong Kam Chee, Chia Yee Lin, Goh Guan Huat, Wee Kek Keong. books Allan Wee Woo Kim Fong, Janie Mok, Richard Fung & Tan Wui Gee Group C: dassification and cataloging and Notices Senior Librarian Nellie Har School Librarians Safiyeh Namazie & Philip Wong Group D: P.M. session School Librarians Loke Yoon Pui, Tow Boon Sen, Michael Han & David Ng. The years have seen great changes and improvements in the school library. In these two years it has expanded in size in stages from rooms having seating capacities for tentwenty students to the much more spacious present room with a seating capacity for 70 students. This larger room has allowed the incorporation of the science library into the main library. Changes in size have been accompanied by interior organizational improvements. A suitable classification system-the universally-adopted Dewey Decimal System was for the first time adopted by the library and an immense task was completed by the Librarians when they had to classify in a single stage five thousand books. In addition, the process of building up a suitable card catalogue - shelf list, and author and title catalogue is on the verge of completion

29 Attempts have been made also to improve the internal library scene. To this end, new Library furniture has been acquired, repainting of the shelves in white has taken place, a Librarian's "corner" has been set up, fans installed, and internal arrangements has been improved in the best possible way. However attempts to create the true library 'atmosphere have been hampered by the architecture of the room - originally designed as a gymnasium, the subterranean' location of the library and also the lack of experienced, expert advice. We therefore welcome the news that the school has future plans for a new and more suitable library site in a forthcoming new building. To manage the bigger and more complex library. the staff of the librarians has been greatly increased. The present staff of 22 librarians represents an almost quadrupling of last year's staff of 6 librarians. The various duties of the librarians are listed above and in addition they have duties of administering the library during the time when it is open for use i.e. during recess everyday and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and Saturday mornings. Moreover, the library will henceforth be open for use during the school vacation. These Library opening times represent an enormous increase over the absurd past year's practice of having the library open only during recess. Various shortcomings and problems need to be listed too. First a glaring need is felt for a separate, well equipped Reference Library. Next, managing a library is a complex and difficult job (Proffessional Librarians undergo three years of training) and expert advice should be provided by the Ministry of Education to help unqualified teachers and students. The lack of expert advice explains the much maladministration found in Singapore School Libraries. The present role of the School libraries need reexamination too. Modern Educational concepts postulate the role of the School Library to be an active agent in the provision of a truly liberal education and not to be a mere store-house of books which is the role it presently assumes. It would be unjustifiable, however, to end this report on a sombre note as the fact remains that the present library represents an enormous improvement over that of past years and in the years 1965 and 1966 librarians can take pride in their achievements of establishing for the first time an adequate library system.

30 SKETCHING CLUB Adviser Chairman - Vice-Chairman Hon. Secretary Treasurer - Committee Members Mr. Teo Chin Chye Ong Chin Ann Lee Boon Hock Jenny Lew Maureen Tan Lee Seng Ghee, Seah Choo Meng, Soon Soo Kee, Lee Yong Ho, Yeo Ek Sheng. The Saint's Sketching Club was inaugurated as an extra-curricular activity whose membership was limited only to those taking the Art Examinations. Due to the enthusiasm of other students who wanted to paint and sketch for fun, the membership was opened to them. Our General Meeting was held early this year, when we elected our office bearers. About 40 members were enrolled from two Pre-University classes and one Secondary Four Arts class. Functions and outings were discussed and these were carried out by the members themselves with the help of our adviser, Mr. Teo Chin Chye. During the first two terms of school, we went to several Art Exhibitions at the Victoria Memorial Hall and we regret that we could not attend a talk on Chinese art and pottery held at Raffles Institution because of our Mid-Year Examinations. Our Club also organised excursions and tours to nearby islands. On those excursions the members brought their easels and painting essentials. The sketches done on those outings are kept for a later time when we hope to hold an exhibition of our own. Some of the nearby islands we visited were Pulau Ubin, Coney Island and Lazurus Island. All in all, we have had a very good year and we hope that we will do better next year if not as good JENNY LEW, Hon. Secretary.

31 SAFETY FIRST CLUB Hon. Adviser President Hon. Secretary - Hon. Treasurer - Committee Members Mr. Goh Keng Tiat Shirley Tan Lim Kay Phong Chua Keng Soon Kenneth Pang Chan Heng Toong The club came into existence on 26th May 1966, after much encouragement from the President of the Singapore Junior Safety First Council to which we are affiliated. Its objectives are to promote interest and instil into the students the importance of Safety First in every aspect:- Road Safety, Fire Safety, Home Safety and Industrial Safety. As the club was the first of its kind to be established in the school, the office-bearers were appointed instead of elected. This was to ensure that the office-bearers were experienced in this field of activity. Hence, the above were appointed as office-bearers for the year We have started with a total enrollment of 73 members. As the club has only been recently established we have not done much. However, we took part in the 5th Annual Inters:::hool Safety First Quiz organised by the Singapore Junior Safety First Council. The School represented by Goh Kia Teck, Sorinder Singh, and Tan Soo Yong emerged third out of the five finalists. We will be taking part in the Safe Cycling Rally also organised by the Singapore Junior Safety First Council, in late September. We intend to organise excursions and film shows later in the year. more in the years to come. We hope to achieve LIM KAY PHONG, Hon. Secretary

32 CHESS CLUB Chess Master Chairman Vice-Chairman Secretaries - Treasurer Class-Representatives Lim Kay Yeek Eric Sung Chia Hock Moon Yeo Ek Meng & Robert Chan Tan Teck Nguan Leung Tim Fook (Pre-U II) Richard Fung (Pre-U I) John Teo (Sec. 4) Shih Liang Chye (Sec. 3) We started this year enlisting members and obtained 150 members; a 200% increase from last year. The individual championships based on the Swiss system-juniors (Sec. I & II) and Seniors (Sec. III to Pre-U II) were held simultaneously for three weeks. There were 38 entries for the Senior and the same amount for the Juniors. Results: Runners-up: Event Junior Champion: Goh Kia Cheng Tan Wee Kiat Senior Yeo Seng Kia Chia Hock Moon & Robert Chan. Next, we held the inter-house matches based on the league system (last year it was on a knock-out system). Hose came in first while Romanis was second. In the girls' section Chelliah emerged the champion house. The inter-house matches was directed by Tan Teck Nguan. During the first terminal holidays, 5 of us were selected to represent the school in the Singapore Junior Championships. Results: Eric Sung (8), Alan Yeo (14), Yeo Seng Kia (22), and Robert Chan (24), Shirley Tan was (3rd) in the Girls' section. The second term began with the Chinese Chess Competition, Chia Hock Moon being the tournament director. There were only 12 entries. Results: 1st Khoo Guan Chuan, 2nd Khoo Guan Chen. The Singapore Chess Federation organised a lighting chess competition and 12 Saints took part. We organised our own friendly matches against many other schools. Tan Teck Nguan did the correspondence while Chui Chee Yuan was selected to be the Captain. These friendly matches aimed at giving many young players an opportunity to experience tournament atmospheres, they did well by winning 6 out of 8 schools. 84 -

33 In the inter-school chess championships, the team comprised Ong Pee Niaow (captain), Wong Heng Cheng, Shih Liang Chye, Lim Kok Meng, Andrew Yeo, Teo Lian Hock and Eric Sung. After 5 matches we qualified for the finals with 5 other schools but ended in position 6. Apart from these activities we hold practices every Friday regularly since the beginning of the year. Attendence is fairly satisfactory but it would be more gratifying to see more members interestod in the game. To put the finishing touch to our 2nd term activities, we held a lighting chess tournament with Richard Fung and Chui Chee Yuan as director and assistant. Lim Kok Meng and Shih Liang Chye also helped. The results of the lighting chess tournament: Section A: 1st Alan Yeo. 2nd Yeo Ek Lian. Section B: 1st Chua Kim Soon. 2nd Eugene Wan. Faithfully Yours, ERIC SUNG (Chairman) CHESS SOCIETY REPORT It was after the second term examination that the P.M. Chess Society was formed. Miss Ee Gin Yong took the responsibility of organising the society. It was a rather difficult task since the members were new to the game. Although we do not have a proper committee, the society is run by Miss Ee and her three group leaders, J. Preston, Ong Wee Kian, and Foo Jit Kai. Meetings are held every Saturday and so far they have been very successful. There is quite a big tum up at the meetings. To encourage more boys to play the game, competitions are held among the three groups. Chess-boards and books are available to members. The P.M. Session Chess Tournament was held on Saturday, 10th September, 1966, and Eng Kwang House was the winner. We should like to thank Miss Ee, our teacher-in-charge, for all the help she has given.

34 SAINTS' TABLE TENNIS CLUB REPORT-1966! The club originated early this year with the following as its committee members:- Adviser Chairman - Vice-Chairman Secretary - Treasurer - Committee Members Mr. Ong Chong Hai Wee Kek Keong Tan Chong Shuan Olive Oh Lily Tang Lee Chong Sam Gwee Chong Ho Georgie Lee When the club was formed, there was a rush for membership, majority of the members coming from Secondary one and two and a good number from the rest of the forms. Up to date we have approximately 80 members. The first difficulty encountered was lack of proper playing tables but this was soon overcome on collecting membership funds and with the aid of a few dollars from the committee members. The School was kind enough to provide half of the required amount, hence enabling the club to purchase one new table. The use of the Shaw Hall was soon settled and a time-table for the regular practices of the various forms was drawn out. ACTIVITIES: Weekly sessions for Sec. I to 4 Weekly sessions for Pre. U classes Tuesdays. Fridays. 2nd TERM: The School team headed by Wee Kek Keong participated in the Singapore National Junior Championships. The team played against 6 teams winning 3 of the matches. Several friendly matches were also held. For this term, the club will provide coaching for all its members to better the standard of play. Activities are being carried out fully and more friendly matches are being organised including inter-class matches for boys and girls. During the 3rd term School holidays, if possible, the School team will be touring Malaya. The club is also issuing membership cards as a precaution against non-members intruding during the weekly practices.. We should like to thank Mr. Ong for his help in the running of the club, Mr. Robert Cheok and also the Junior School staff their co-operation. OLIVE OH, Secretary

35 LOYFATT HOUSE House-Master House-Captain Vice-Captain Secretary - Mr. Ronald Chan Wee Sian Chong Gerald Lee Eddie Teo It is always better to begin on a note of triumph. Loyfatt, with its ever-flowing crop of fine hockey-players emerged Hockey champions for the third successive year. In Soccer our team scored clear-cut victories over their opponents to become champions for the second year running. In Athletics, our House Captain, Wee Si:tn Chong, produced a spark of brilliance which carried him through the School Sports to the finals of both the short sprints in the Singapore AAA Annual Championships. With his able badersh:p and fine performance in the School Sports we were 'A' div. champions; but our poor performance in the 'B' and 'C' divs. lost us the championship. In cross-country we were third. We also came in third in table-tennis and cricket and second in basket-ball. Results of badminton and chess were, to say the least, depressing. Finally, we are indebted to our energeti::: Housemaster for his encouraging presence m the field at all seasons. EDDIE TEO, Hon. Secretary. ROMANIS HOUSE House-Master House-Captain Vice-Captmn Secretary - Mr. Ng Chong Kiat Lawrence Chan Thomas Thomas Gary Lee We started off the year fairly well by w:nning the senior section of the X-country race and being the runners-up in the overall result. Congragulations to Ng Kim Seng, Teo Whye Chee, Tan Peng Yong who took the fi.rst three places; we hope our future runners will follow in their strides. In both hockey and soccer we emerged in 2nd Place to Loyfatt losing to them by a solitary goal in both games respectively. Swimming found us in 3rd place with Tay Way Bock emerging as the 'B' division individual Champion. In Chess we were the runnersup. Romanis unfortunately lost the badminton title this year coming in 2nd. Special mention must be made of Yap Kah Ming who is the current Singles Champion of the School. The inter-house Tennis Tournament has yet to be held and there can be no doubt as to who would win; with our wealth of talented tennis players such as Ng Kian Seng the School's individual Champion and Teo Whye Chee one of the holders of the School's Doubles Title. Our most serious setback this year and for that matter, the past few years, has been the lack of co-operation of the younger members of the house and we hope that in future our boys will strive harder and take a more active part in the activities GARY LEE, Hon. Secretary.

38 RUGBY - FOOTBALL Masters in Charge Captain Vice Captain Secretary - Mr. Yee Teck Peng Mr. Ronald Chan Laurence Chan Thomas Thomas Gary Lee This year found most of last year's players still with us and we look forward to a good year of Rugger. The following represented the School 1st XV:- Lau Chuen Hee, Krishnan, Chew Kheng Guan, Stephen Chew, Gerald Lee, Quek Chin Chuan, M. Cherian, Foo Kia Fai, Heng Teng Kwang, G. Moss, Rennie Wang, Laurence Chan, Thomas Thomas, Sng Eng Khin, Leow Kim Liat, Gary Lee, John Stevens, Wee Sian Chong, Yap Kim Cheng, Lim Kay Phong and Peter Pang. We started training during the middle of the 2nd Term under our coaches Mr. Yee -and Mr. Chan. At the end of the 2nd Term, we underwent centralised training at the School's Boarding House for 10 days. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the people in charge Of the Boarding House for providing us with a pleasant stay. The centralised training greatly increased our fitness, the result of which was our winning the Inter-School Seven-a-side Tournament, in which we beat Raffles 15-6 in the finals. At the time of writing this report we have yet to play in the Inter-School 15-a-side Tournament which will most probably see a Saints vs Raffles final. The Inter-School Tournament replaces the old system of having District and Inter-District Tournaments. A number of friendly matches were played this season. the most outstanding of which was the match against the touring Sekolah Tenku Abdul Rahman from Perak one of the two top Rugger Schools in Malaya, in which the smooth clock-work-like movements of the S.T.A.R.'s was pitted against the solid hard-tackling Saint's defence. We were, however, unfortunate to loss by 3 points. The annual Saints vs Raffles match was played under muddy and wet conditions on RI grounds and the Saints just could not find their form and lost to Raffles by 9-0 who seemed to have adapted better to the adverse conditions. It is hoped that our boys will do better when we meet Raffles in the return match on our Grounds. 1st xv 2nd XV GARY LEE, Secretary.

39 BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP 1966 The 30th Annual Boxing Tournament for the 'Phoa Thai Seng' Trophy attracted a record entry this year, so that there were four afternoons for the Preliminaries, Semi-Finals and Finals. Over 150 boys made use of the "Gymasium" for training, but only eighty took part as many could not get their parents' permission to participate. Training started early in May under the guidance of Mr. Kiang Woon Kew. The response was very good, and the P.M. boys were determined to do better than they did last year. Mr. Kiong worked laboriously every afternoon in training them in the finer points, and many were eager to learn. It was seen that the fight was to be between 3 Houses - Hose, the holders, Venn and Ah Hung. In the preliminaries for two afternoons from 3.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. there were some keen fights and one or two "walk-overs". The Semi-Finals and Finals were held in the Main Hall watched by capacity crowds. who were thrilled by the good clean fights put up. The standard this year was higher than last year owing to the effort made by "Ah Hung House" of the P.M. to wrest the Trophy from Hose House. Congratulations to Ong Lay Mow, Teo Whye Chee, Tan Eng Leng, Sng Eng Khin, and Lau Chuen Yee for retaining their titles, Lay Mow for the 4th year in succession. The Finals produced very hard fights in every weight, and even in the Middle weight bout. which produced very hard slugging for two rounds. The Referee, Su9t. Abdul Rahman awarded the fight to Geoffrey Moss as Hock Seng had no more stamina. Baliwant Singh was adjudged the "Best Boxer" of the afternoon for his win in the Bantam weight Dlvision after a hard tussle with Lim Kok Keong. Hose House retained the Trophy beating Ah Hung House by only 4 Points. We thank Mrs. S. Dumoer for giving away the prizes. th:! Referees Supt. Al:Jdul Rahman bin Dalbasah, and Mr. R. B. Milne, and officials and Judges from the Singanore Amatehr Boxing Association for making this year's Tournament the most su::cessful one we have ever had. Finally we are grateful to the Director of Prisons Mr. Yeow Koon Poh for loaning and putting up the Boxing R:ng. Television Singapore televised the finals. which was shown in the following Friday's Sports Parade. On behalf of the boxers of this Schoo'. I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kiong Woon Kew for all he did to encourage box ng and prepare the boys for this wonderful tournament. This being his last year with th::: School we would like to express our gratitude to him for all his untiring effort, and to wish him well in his retirement. Detailed results were as follows:

42 SWIMMING REPORT Swimming Master Captain Vice Captains Mr. Tong Koek Fui Lawrence Teo John G. Oehlers Tay Way Bock This season has been an eventful one for our swimmers who have maintained their outstanding record by winning the Serangoon District Title for the third year running and our fifth title since the District system was introduced seven years ago. With this win, our boys gave Mr. Tong a grand welcoming present for his first season as swimming master. At the close of this season, we bid fare-well to our veterans John Oehlers, Szeto Wing Hong, Goh Yew Nai and Lawrence Teo all of whom have played important roles in our past successes. We have a powerful young team of youngsters who have shown great promise and if they are given proper encouragement and training, will go far. Swimming is a sport that our School has excelled in for many years. Recently, of the five swimmers that represented our Republic at the Commonwealth Games, two of them, Michael Eu and Seah Pong Pin were old boys our School. In spite of this, the support for swimming has been very poor. We hope that in future more attention will be paid to this sport and perhaps plans can be made to build a swimming pool of our own. Our 29th Annual swimming Meet was held on 22nd July and at the end of the meet, Venn House emerged the Champions for the seventh successive year. Lawrence Teo was the 'A' division Champion and Tay Way Bock and Chay Yew Wah the 'B' and 'C' division Champions respectively. Our thanks go to all teachers and guests who helped make the meet a successful one. We hope for continued success and I am sure that our boys will strive very hard to achieve this LAWRENCE TEO, Captain.

43 THE P.M. SESSION SWIMMING CLASS Swimming Adviser Group Leaders - Mr. Kiong Beng Huat Tony Ingham, Richard Wong, T.M.B. Krishnan, <;::han Dik Wan, Wong Siew Kheong, Thow Thiek Sen. Early this year the great enthusiasm for Swimming called for organised teaching and training. This task was undertaken by Mr. Kiong Beng Huat. He soon organised an efficient system of group leaders to assist him. The programme consisted of some 15 lessons which covered the breast stroke, back stroke, front crawl, butterfly and side stroke, apart from various other water skills. After the theoretical part of the lesson, we, the group leaders, help the boys put into practive what they had just learnt. By the middle of the year, in spite of the fact that some of the boys had started from scratch, the majority of the boys were good swimmers. In late May we held our first Swimming Gala. The 3 houses were represented by some 37 boys who took part in one or more of the 11 events. This Gala showed up our weak points which we set about correcting immediately. The winning house was Ah Hung. By early June a greater amount of work began to fall on the shouldere of the Group leaders, for the boys needed individual attention. The second swimming Gala showed that the standard has risen sharply and that times were faster. Eng Kwang won this gala. By June the Annual Swimming Carnival was in mind and training became more intensive. When the Carnival arrived we put up a good show. We were placed in several races and won the A Division Freestyle relay. Some of our boys have gone to represent the school in the district swimming. In closing I would like to thank Mr. Kiang Beng Huat for his invaluable services rendered and the Group leaders, without whom we would never have achieved so much in so short a time TONY INGHAM.

44 CRICKET - REPORT 1966 Master-in-charge Captain Vice-Captain Mr. Ong Soo Kiong John Geno-Oehlers David Moses This year proved to be a let-down after a comparatively good season last year, mainly because the nucleus of the team in 1965 had left, leaving us to depend on 'fresh blood'. The new boys were more than enthusiastic and practice sessions at the nets began in the first term. It was unfortunate that we were given a limited use of the field for friendly games, so when the Inter-School Championships began we were on the whole still inexperienced, resulting in our winning only one out of three games. Throughout the season we played two 'home vs. home' games, two friendly games, and three inter-school games. We congratulate Geoffrey Moss for hitting the highest score of the season of 37 against St. Joseph's, and John Oehlers for bowling the best analysis of six wickets for three runs against Bartley and getting a hatrick against Beatty and Bartley. The following played for the School: John Geno-Oehlers, David Moses, Donald Lelah, Surresh Harris, Balendran, John Stevens, Geoffrey Moss, Kishore, Ravindran Gopal, Albel Singh, Ong Lay Mow, Nigel Moss, Roy Joseph. Averages for the season were: Batting 1. Geoffrey Moss 10.7 runs per inning John Stevens David Moses 9.8 runs per inning 9.8 runs per inning Results of matches played: Bowling I. John Geno-Oehlers 6.6 runs per wkt. 2. David Moses 9.1 runs per wkt. Date Opponents Result 19/ 2/ 66 St. Joseph's (friendly) Draw 18/ 5/ 66 St. Joseph's Lost by 77 runs 22/ 5/ 66 Beatty Won by 3 wickets 27/ 5/ 66 St. Patrick's Lost by 4 wickets 8/ 7/ 66 Bartley (friendly) Won by 6 wickets The Inter-House League Tournament began in late July and as expected VENN swept aside all opposition to regain the title they last won in Games was runners-up losing only to VENN. The team thanks Mr. Ong Soo Kiong, our new master, for all the support and encouragement he gave us and also Mr. Lemos for his invaluable coaching JOHN-OEHLERS, Captain.

45 HOCKEY REPORT., Hockey Master - Captai.n Vice-Captain Secretary - Mr. M. A. Joseph Roy Joseph Albel Singh Thomas Thomas The season started early in the year with practices and the team went all out to regain the Serangoon District Title. Unfortunately we were beaten once again in the semi-finals. The junior team captained by John Joseph fared rather badly this year. The team, however, showed potential and should be reckoned as a strong contender for next year's Junior District Tilte. The inter-house Tournament for the Sir George Oehlers Cup was played in March. Loyfatt House once again emerged Champions with Romanis House the runners-up. The introduction of the inter-class system for the secondary one and two boys has been a great help in selecting the 1967 Junior team. It has also given the younger boys the experience which they so much lack. Secondary two 'C' won the Tournament with Secondary two 'A' the runners-up. Albel Singh and Roy Joseph were selected to play for Serangoon District. Roy Joseph also represented the Combined School team. John Joseph and George Oomun represented the Serangoon District Junior team. The following represented the School in the 1966 Season: lst XI Balakrishnan, John Oehlers, Albel Singh, Baskran Nair, Thomas Thomas, Balbir Singh, Gary Lee, K. E. Matthews, Roy Joseph, Allen de Silva, John Stevens, Sorrinder Singh, Suresh Harris, Wee Sian Chong and George Joseph. JUNIOR XI George Oommen, Jeffrey Lau, Lau Chuen Yew, John Joseph, Lau Chuen Fai, James Thomas, Tan Soo Kiang, Pritipal Singh, Chin Sing, Larry Teo, Malcolm Wee, Thomas Joseph, David Cornelius, Ho Ka Lek and Steven Loh. We are thenkful to our Hockey Master and old boys for their encouragement and assistance. In concluding, I hope that hockey will be introduced to our Junior School for the best team is one that has to start young. ROY JOSEPH, Captain

46 BASKETBALL REPORT Master-in-Char gt Captain Vice-Captain Mr. Ng Chong Kiat Philip Wee Hey Bong Koi We are very grateful to Mr. Ng for his encouragement and inspiring enthusiasm in raising a good team this year. In the annual Inter-House competition, Hose House emerged the Champions. During the first term vacation, the School's Senior and junior teams received training for fitness and skill under the expert eyes of a Chinese coach. Despite this hard work in preparation for the District Tournament, we were unfortunately unable to participate in the Serangoon District Championships. We are looking forward to playing friendly Inter-School games in the third term. On behalf of all concerned, I wish to thank the Macpherson Community Centre for their generous offer to us to use their basketball court. Finally, we hope and anticipate for better things to come next year. PLAYERS: PHILIP WEE, Captain. Ang Seng Kwang; Leong Siew Choon; Hey Bong Koi; Philip Wee; Khoo Hock Seng; Ho Hoe Theng; Chua Kim Huat; Ng Kim Huat; Ng Kim Kiong; Goh Leng Jong; Wong Hong Thim

47 BADMINTON REPORT The School team began training early in the year at the People's Association (we are grateful for the use of the P.A.'s badminton hall every Saturday morning). Our thanks to Mr. Goh Choon Hee, our badminton master and Mr. Kiang Woon Kew, our coach for their encouragement and guidance. The Senior team comprised the following boys: Yap Kah Ming, Allan Teo, Thiarajan, Seah Choo Meng, Chng Eng Hoe and Seah Mong Tong. In the Serangoon inter District Inter-School Tournament, we were easily coasting to the finals with convincing 5-0 wins over Whampoa and St. Gabriel School when we were unfortunately beaten 3-2 by Montfort. Following the tournament, Yap Kah Ming and Allan Teo were selected for district training and later, Yap Kah Ming was placed third in the Combined Schools Individual Championships. In the Serangoon District Inter-School Junior Tournament, we lost to Bartley 2-3 after having beaten Serangoon Technical and Victoria School by a comfortable 5-0. The junior team consisted of the following: Allan Teo, Albert Teo, Lim Chien Cheng, Ronnie Yeh, Tan Choon Song and Mok Wing Ming. Our girls' team were beaten in the first round of the Serangoon District Inter-School Tournament and we were represented by: Soh Chwee Lian, Safiyeh Namazie, Elaine Low and Carol Oehlers. Soh Chwee Lian was Runner-up in the Singles of the Individual Combined Schools Championships and with another girl, Champions in the Doubles event. In the Inter-house Tournament, Gomes House emerged the Champions with a fine victory over Romanis (3-2). Yap Kah Ming and Allan Teo were the Champion and Runner-up respectively in the Singles Championship 1966 of the School. Allan Teo partnering Albert Teo were the Champion pair in the Doubles while Yao Kah Ming and Chng Eng Hoe were runners-up. Of the girls, the Champion was Soh Chwee Lian and the runner-up, Safiyeh Namazie in the Individual Singles event. Soh Chwee Lian and Carol Oehlers were the Champion pair and Safiyeh Namazie and Elaine Low were the runners-up. Although this year, our School team did not capture the Serangoon District Crown, we hope to do better next year by putting more effort and enthusiasm in our training YAP KAH MING, Captain.

48 TENNIS REPORT Master-in-charge Captain Vice-Captain Secretary - Mr. Robert Yeo Ng Kian Seng Wee Sian Chong Teo Whye Chee At the beginning of this year, we had over 60 members (including girls). This enthusiasm, however died down and towards the end of the year, there was only a handful of players. Nevertheless we carried on with our weekly practices under the watchful eyes of Mr. Yeo. Our first friendly match was against Johore College in June but as this was the atheletic month, our players were too fatigued to give their best performance. In the inter-school Tournament, we were successful all the way until we met St. Patrick's in the semi-finals when we lost by a narrow margin (2-3). There were no inter-house matches owing to the lack of players from the various houses. We had our Open Championship Tournament in the second week of the final term and the following were the results:- Singles Champion Runner-up Doubles Champion pair Runners-up Ng Kian Seng. John Stevens. John Stevens & Teo Whye Chee. Ng Kian Seng & Roy Joseph. The School Team comprised these boys: Ng Kian Seng Wee Sian Chong John Stevens Teo Whye Chee. Reserves: Arthur Wee Seah Choo Ann Lim Chien Aun. On behalf of all the players, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Yeo for all his help and encouragement during the course of the year TEO WHYE CHEE, Secretary.

49 TABLE TENNIS REPORT Our table tennis season started early this year and we participated in the Singapore Junior open Championships. In view of our lack of experience, we did relatively well and our team gave the others a good fight. The players that represented the School were: Lau Hwee Tiang, Ho Hoe Theng, Wee Kek Keong & Lee Chong Sam. At the beginning of the second term, we had two friendly matches and the School held the Individual and also the inter-house Championships. The results: Champion House 1966 Runners-Up Individual (Senior) 1966 Singles Champion Junior Runner-Up 1966 Doubles Champion pair Runner-Up Singles Champion Runner-Up Doubles Champion pair Runner-Up GOMES HOSE Wee Kek Keong (won it for the 3rd successive year). Lau Hwee Tiang Lau Hwee Tiang and Ho Hoe Theng. Wee Kek Keong and Lee Chong Sam. Khoo Soon Sin. K. Ravendran. Ronald Nah and Khoo Soon Sin. Seng Choon Howe and Goh Geck Teck. This term (3rd term) we fielded a team and participated in the Serangoon District Inter School Tournament. Owing to the short notice we were given and because of the holidays during which the players did not have the opportunity to train, we were unfortunately checked in our advance to the finals when we lost 1-4 to Whampoa School (who ultimately became the Champion) after beating Serangoon English School 5-0 the previous day. It was not, however, an easy victory for the Whampoa boys as there were a number of rubber sets and the players impressed the selectors; Wee Kek Keong was selected to captain the Serangoon District team in the Inter-District Tournament. I feel that the players in English-stream Schools should break the myth that Chinese S:.:hools are superior in this particular game by having more conscientious and intensive training. We, therefore, hope that those interested in Table Tennis will join the Table Tennis Club from which they will receive regular and proper coaching. I am taking this opportunity to thank Mr. Ong Chong Hai, our Table Tennis Master, for his support and encouragement and consideration for our team and also the Sport's Secretary. With this backing, I am sure that in future matches the School team would be inspired to attain their best form and therefore not disappoint expectations of their success WEE KEK KEONG, Captain.

50 NETBALL Net ball Mistress School Netball Captain Mrs. Yap Giau Cheng Daisy Chan This year, the school netball team comprising Gloria Solomon (centre), Carol Oehlers (wing-attack), Daisy Chan (wing-defence), Lau Kia Tin (goal-attack), Sumarni Saban (goalshooter), Ng Suan Guek (goal-defence), and Chew Sock Foon (goal-keeper), performed creditably in the Inter-School Netball Tournament. Experience and conistent training under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Yap, has taught the players better co-ordination in their play. This is evident in the three games we won against Willow Avenue Secondary School, Montfort School and Bartley School. Although the team lost to St. Joseph's Convent and Serangoon Garden Technical School, victory went to them only after a tough fight with the 'Saints'. We shall be losing most of the school players at the end of the year. However, with continued regular training the school can expect an equally strong, if not stronger, team of fresh, young and dedicated players next year, under the guidance of Mrs. Yap. 1 I l - DAISY CHAN.

56 ST. ANDREW'S JUNIOR CHRISTIAN GROUP "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of God." Our school, being a m1ss10n school, not only provides academic and physical growth of children but also for their spiritual growth. The Junior Christian Group had its first meeting in September 1965 with an attendance of sixty boys from both Junior I and II. It was a pleasure and an encouragement to have with us Miss Kam who is in charge of all the Junior I.S.C.F. clubs. Mrs. Mary Cassim, then in charge gave the club a good start but she had to leave us at the beginning of this year on her apoointment as the Principal of St. Margaret's Primary School. We pray that God will use her greatly in her new sphere of work. The Junior Christian Group meets every Saturday from 9 a.m. to IO a.m. - except during the holidays. Most of the boys are from the upper primaries with a few from the lower primaries. Although the attendance is voluntary, seventy to eighty boys turn up for the meetings. The lesson for each week is taken from a booklet specially prepared by the Scripture Union for the Junior I.S.C.F. clubs. God has been very good in sending to us Rev. and Mrs. T. A. McKenzie who are a real blessing to us. Mrs. McKenzie is now our voluntary pianist and we are very grateful to her. It is with joy that we record our thanks to the members of the Senior Christian Group who sacrificed their Saturday mornings to come and help us with the music and singing when we had no pianist. We also thank them for the use of their chorus books. Pray with us that the seeds may fall on good ground and produce a hundredfold. Teachers in Charge St. Andrew's Junior Christian Group Mrs. T. Ambrose, Mrs. Mary Thomas. Fear him, ye saints, and you will then Hm.. e nothing else to fear; Make you his service your delight, Your u:ants shall be his care. - G. SMART
