got a sms from baohuan tat
ahs is in the newsas i read the article about how they haf complied a book《圣公会中学校史》for all new sec 1 students to stardee, i wonder if there will b any mention tat the skool song they r currently singing, is onli 5 yrs old!!
the song do not haf 50 yrs worth of rich cultural & linguistic heritage as the rest of AHS.
the vice principal has not replied to our query. i m getting impatient. i tink i'll gif him a call tomolo myself. i will make reference to tis article. after all, i still haf the book they published to commerate 30th anniversary.
isn't tis damn ironical? on one hand, they seem so proud of the heritage of AHS, yet on the other, they do something so ridiculous to destroy wat little ties we past cohorts have wif the skool.
yesh, i wana hold my head up high and sing the TRUE skool song of AHS tat has 45 yrs of history and not the modified version
and quoting the principal 文校长说:“以后,没有圣中学生会对他的母校历史感到陌生。”
well, u haf 45 yrs of past cohorts of students hoo will feel 陌生 towards the skool song lor!!i wonder if the 圣中杰出校友如康长杰教授、罗华基、莫玮玮、陈向勤医生、何能恩博士、陈奕煌、周贤正主教、林国兴牧师、王明金牧师、陈晓朋博士、黄彩鸾、桂乃舜、何耀珊、朱伟义、符绩涵 noes abt tis. if not, den i tink the whole thing is quite sneaky lor!
actualli i posted tis entry after the words in bold. den started toking to baohuan again and i decided i need to add on.
to the principal's point of students not feeling 陌生 abt the skool's history...did they consider the feelings of us, the past 45 cohorts of students when they changed OUR skool song??
if they r onli concerned abt how future batches of students feel abt the skool, i feel like 45 cohorts of students have been disowned by the skool.
and we haf decided not to wait anymore. mi been in touch wif so many past AHS students over the course of last 2 wks...ran into jiajun, linked up wif lionel, weijian, even added hanchuan on frenster and met hanxian for lunch....wow! the law of attraction realli works lor!!
baohuan is drafting letter to send to zaobao in response to tis article. i'll call the principal tomolo and express our shock in wat the skool has done. we will
restate our request for an explanation from the skool. and let them noe abt our concurrent course of action which is writing to zaobao & starting the petition. the sooner we create awareness of tis prob, the better it is. coz we reali want as many past students to b supporting tis cause as possible.
tis fight is not juz for us, it is to preserve AHS' history. it'll b beli sad if we choose to ignore how they haf wantonly thrown away our history, on the occasion of ahs' golden jubilee.
