Message From The President - OGA Tpg

Welcome To The Secondary School

Editorial
1971 has truly been a Georgian year because never
in her proud history has St George's see such a
bountiful harvest of glory in sports. Our sportsmen
and sportswomen have lived up to the 1971 school
motto "SERVICE", and to them, the Editorial Board,
on behalf of the school, extends her heartiest congratulations,
and hopes they will continue to bring glory to the Alma Mater.
 
Throughout this year, various projects undertaken
by the school have been successfully carried out
and these can be credited to the ever-prevailing
presecnce of a sense of service. As the students of
today and the hopes of tomorrow, we should also
try to be of service to our country by fulfilling her
pressing need for people of science and technology.
 
Dato Idris bin Babjee, KMN, PMN, PJK, the spearhead
of the education in Perak for many years, retired
early this year. Despite his many commitments, Dato
Idris had not once failed to attend our Speech and
Prize-Giving Day during his term of office as Chief
Education Officer of Perak. The high standard of
our education in Perak is the fruit of his labour. To show
our appreciation of your service and contribution to
education, Dato Idris, this Annual bears your name
in dedication.
 
The Editorial Board has tried to place emphasis on
pictorial rather than lengthy reports but we have
not succeeded very much because of inadequate
funds. The section on literary write-ups has been
completely omitted due to poor readership.
 
Lastly, the Editorial Board, on behalf of the school,
takes this opprtunity to wish all lschool leavers the
best of luck in their undertakings, and hopes they
will find this magazine a worthy souvenir to cherish.

To The Sixth Formers
[UpperSixScience][UpperSixArts]
 
Four years ago in 1967 the first Sixth Form class, the Lower Six Science was formed. A number who were admitted to the Six Form of that year applied for a transfer to other schools, in the belief that the results were bound to suffer since the teachers were inexperienced, the laboratory and the library inefficiently equipped. These pupils were perhaps right to do what they did since it was their future which was at stake. The pupils who stayed behind also realised this and worked and how they worked! Their future was at stake too! And happily for all, thigs turned out well - if not outstandingly well, at least creditably so. But that is history now.
 
Last year, the first Sixth Form Arts class, the Lower Six Arts, was formed. The problems were many. Teachers were inexperienced, the library under-equipped. The problems, I admit are still there. What will the results of the HSC Arts class of 1971 be? That is left to be seen. Predictions as everyone knows, are quite useless. If favourable, they tend to over-inflate the ego which can prove to be very dangerous, and if unfavourable, the ego is punctured, sometimes beyond repair and this can also be very dangerous. I shall therefore, not venture to predict even though the urge to have the satisfaction of saying 'I told you so!' is irresistably strong.
 
Many pupils who are admitted to the Sixth Form often expect to be treated differently from the rest of the school, even to the extent of questioning school regulations. These pupils ask 'Doesn't the Sixth Form pre-university education? Shouldn't we therefore be treated like university students are treated?' The answer to the first question is evidently YES, the Sixth Form is PRE-university education, not university education. The school question evidently needs no answer.
 
While on the topic of the status of the Sixth Form, let me recall your attention to what was said about the first Sixth Form class. There I said that the secret of their success was work. It isn't that much of a secret really. Everyone knows that there is not substitute for hard work. Sixth Formers like to think of themselves as Pre-university students where previleges are concerned, and in doing so they miss the whole point of the term 'pre-university' - which is that the Sixth Form prepares students to be able to rely on their own judgement to be able to think critically. This is essential as 90% of their work in the university comes from the efforts of the student himself. The Sixth Former should therefore learn to work on his own with the teacher acting more as a guide - but unfortunately this is not the case. Perhaps one reason could be the inadequacy of the Library. If it is, the next few years should see this problem solved.
 
One final word for most of you. Your relationship with St George's can perhaps be best described as 'fleeting'. You may not have left your mark on the school (marks on your desks excluded} and perhaps the School has not left any significant mark on you - two years is not a very long time - but whether this be the case or not, you can be quite sure of one thing. St Geroge's is always interested in her sons and daughters, and no matter where you may be, news of you is always appreciated and no matter how many years, your return will always be welcomed.
 
There is, I think, no better way to end this message than by wishing you 'GOOD LUCK'

To The Fifth Formers
[Science1][Science2][Arts1][Arts2][Arts3]
 
As 1971 draws to a close, it is time to say farewell to the Fifth Formers. They will be leaving their Alma Mater to seek their further 'Education' and their fortunes elsewhere. Although there are more qualified people around to give them advice. I humbly beg to give them this message.
 
Venturing out into the world is exciting as it will be a new experience. No more will you be under the wings of your Alma Mater who has nurtured you and guided you through the greater part of your growing stage. The challenge is there and like it or not, you have to accept the challenge.
 
The one attribute that I would like to wish for everyone of you is Success in whatever you would choose to do or to be. Success do not come easily. You would have to work hard for it. So have confidence in yourself for with this quality you can achieve what you want. Allied to this quality is reliability and honesty, attributes so greatly required in any society.
 
Take cognisance of the fact that there is a place for each and everyone of you in our society. Be a good citizen and follow the principles of the Rukunegara. Also do not forget your Alma Mater who has done so much for you and yet asked so little of you.
