These guys were once boys from different
backgrounds and all walks of life. But as they made their way to the School
On A Hill, their lives were transformed. On the Hill, from East to West they
shared one Chapel, they shared the same classroom blocks and they shared one
dinning hall. They studied the same time (Prep), they slept the same time (Night
out) and woke up the same time (Rising Bell). They took on responsibilities from
Protocol Prefect, House Prefect to General Supervisor. Extra-curriculum
activities were from Cadet, Drama Club, Writer and Debaters Club and Scripture
Union.
Through their maturing from boys to men, they sang “Up Santaclausian”
and “Adisadel On the Hill”, pledging their allegiance for the school's
great name. All these made up their memories, but what the school gave them in
return was the passion to strive to be the first or with the first. Thus
striving for excellence in their respective lives and in any endeavors. They
renewed their minds to accept that complacency, mediocrity and settling for what
is less than your best is not an option.
You might not see yourself in this picture, but you know the memories the
school gave you and how far the passion instilled in you has brought you
success. This picture is not about the gentlemen, it is about the few, the proud
and the Santaclausian. And above all the institution we so dearly cherish –
ADISADEL COLLEGE; THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL.
Lastly, picture yourself in the dinning hall, looking at the high table with
the prefects. And the prayer was said:
“Come and dine with us O Lord”
and the whole family said “FIAT” in response.
Long Live Adisco; Long Live Santaclausians;
Happy One Hundred Years.
“Either the first or with the first”
