Inter House Sports Meet - St Mary's Secondary School

Hi,

Remember St Mary's School Inter-House Sports Meet in the school padang?  May be not for some and this photo serves to bring back your memories.

Most would  have better and more vivid memories of the Inter School Sports Meet in the Town Padang. Wow during the Inter School Sports Meet... St Cecelia girls would cheer for St Mary's athletes and St Mary's boys would do likewise for Cecelians. And ususally, St Cecelia and St Mary's schools were seated next to each other on the grand stand. Lots of confetti raining down and you could always cast your confetti in the direction of your favourite girls.

Our school arch enemies at the Inter School Sports Meet were St Michaels and later Sung Siew School (including some hot heads ex St Marians who could not go onto St Mary's Form IV and V and had to join Sung Siew Form IV and V instead.)

One famous St Micahel female athlete was "Golden Hair" (Catherine Chae).

Popular St Cecelia girls who attracted  a lot of confetti cast by our classmates included Lai Man Thing, Rita Garnica, Janet Lee, Bridgit Chin, Catherine Chang, Bernadette Kan, Patsy Poon, Felicity Khoo, Mimi Shim and others.

Folks feel free to add your favourite girls' names in! ... Also, where are these dream girls now ?

Let us go back to the topic... its our Inter House Sports Meet we have to talk about - an all Boys affair! Boring, ......isn't it! The photo was on the Yellow House Pavilion. Chu Sai Kee, as you all know, was our star High Jumper. Not sure what Victor Sin and James Chai were good in? They appeared more like coaches than athletes.

Hidden inside the tent was a smiling Frederick Ong! No athlete himself but he is our only classmate who went on to become a Doctor (from University of Liverpool).

We always looked forward to the Inter School Sports Meet then as students but now I do not think any of us, as parents, would bother to turn up at our children Inter-School or Inter-House Sports Meet!

Our interests have navigated away to other more interesting pursuits.
