72 The Penang Free School Magazine -~- ------ ---- ----- Of the ninety-four boys enlisted as members, the majority is made up of boys from Forms Four and Five. There are only three boys from Form Six. Three is -an infinitesimal number compared to thirty-two which was the number of Form Six boys and girls who were members of the Society last year. The great difference most probably is due to the pressure of school work: upon the Form Six students. The Society recruits Form Four boys to prepare them for future leadership ·as the present Form Five boys will have to relinquish their duties when they are In Form Six next year. The services of the photographers are invaluable. Photographs are taken of all places the Society visits and are filed for future reference. The Committee meets to plan the term's programme at the beginning of each term. The programme is made as interesting as possible to satisfy the members. It includes visits to ancient buildings and temples, and to historical places on the island and on the mainland as well. Outings are planned once a month and the idea is to make a first-hand study of the intriguing reminders of of the wild lawless days of Penang and Malaya, of some early culture or race and of great historical events. Some of Lhe things we find out from these visits cannot possibly be obtained from books. The interest and liking for history is aroused by arranging these visits to historical places far and near. The Society has been to a:s far as Ipoh in its unending search for historical knowledge. In the near future It might travel down to Malacca, where the Portuguese and the Dutch have left their mark over the years. The first meeting or the term took us to the five Plaques at the General Hospital and to the old tree at MacAlister Road which is believed to have seen not less than ten decades of life. The Snake Temple, with its many sinuous snakes, and the Penang Buddhist Associatl9n afforded us the opportunity to study the lives of the deity, Chor Soo Kong and of Lord Buddha. The five majestic marble statues were the cynosure of all eyes. The Society is thankful to the President and Secretary of the Association for their co-operation and their genial hospitality. The exciting trip to Ipoh was an agreeable climax to a term of great activity. We 'invaded ' the Istana at Kuala Kangsar, built on a small hillock over-looking a river. We saw everything from the Throne Room to the roof. The Batu Caves at Ipoh, and in particular, the Buddhist Temple hewn out of the limestone caves, were a fascinating sight. A party of girls from the St. George's Girls School accompanied us. Everyone had a good time in Taiping, Kuala Kangsar and Ipoh. Trips of this kind are a favourite with the n1embers. The report cannot be ended without thanks being given to H.H. the Sultan of Perak who graciously granted permission for the Society to visit the Istana. Thanks are also due to his Private Secretary who made arrangements for the visit. Secretary.
The Penang Free School Magazine 73 RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES SCOUTING It has been customary for the troops to see their old boys leaving school at the end of each year and December 1955 was not a bit less enthusiastic about taking its toll on our members. The number of scouts has decreased greatly this year and the Rover Crew is now a meagre group with hardly sufficient members to form a single patrol. Although we are not happy to lose the old scouts we feel sure that they have gone out into the world as better men, and that consolation is enough for anyone. To those who have left we say : V Our present enrolment is about a hundred and thirty, divided into five troops and a Rover crew. Of these hundred and thirty, five are Green Corders, five are First Class Scouts and fifty Second Class. We also have four Queen Scouts and the efforts of these four will be examples for those who are, even now, following their footsteps. Badge hunting in itself certainly does not make a keen scout; but it does make a proficient scout, and the expzrience gained in taking badges, coupled with the true scouting spirit, will make him in many ways better to serve- the duty which there is in Scouting itself. Due encouragement has, therefore, been given towards the taking of badges and with the advancing years we hope to see a greater increase in the number of Queen Scouts and a consequent improvement in the efficiency of the individual troops. After spending all the years in the narrow confines of the school premises the scouts have become :rather dissatisfied with the idea of holding all their meetings in the narrow five hundred square yards o! ground. Scouting, we believe, is a game of the open, a game that brings back the adventure and spirit of those pioneer days in Africa in B.P .'s time. All the ideas of Scouting are focussed on Woodcraft, Pioneering and Camplife, and to do justice to these, we believe that we have to have at least our meetings in the natural setting of th e 'game.' Now the troops have moved out to the Coronation Campsite for their meetings whenever they can. Semi-forest surroundings have given profuse rise to Observation and Woodcraft activities which are now the favourites in the monthly programme. At the end of last year Pinhorn Troop made a hike round the island. Sore feet and blisters had their effect and in April the boys thought that perhaps it would be better if they spent their holidays in a milder fashion. Accordingly, the troop resorted to the haven of Jubilee Camp. Hamilton, Wu Lien Teh and Cheeseman Troops also had their camps at Jubilee in April. Perhaps camping at Jubilee was a softer pastime but sometimes one forgets that one is bareback in the scorching sun. And so it was with boys: they forgot too. Their skin attained the texture of roasted meat, and in a few days, began to show signs of wear and tear. Maybe this was the reason why Hargreaves Troop preferred to have their August camp at Coronation site.
74 The Penang F1·ee School Magazine ---- Early this year T / L Khoo Thean Chin returned from his trip to the Pan Pacific Jamboree (1955-56) in Melbourne, Australia. He brought back with him tales of endurance and fraternity-memories of those happy days which may perhaps be the happiest in his Scouting life. In his talks to the troops he lived again those times and we who listened shared his thoughts with him- we too had dreams of fun and of Australia. Scouting is not all fun and badge hunting. At the call to raise funds our scouts immediately hurried off to 'book' odd jobs and Odd Job Week proved to be substantially contributive towards the troops' treasuries and towards the H.Q. fund. Altogether we collected over found hundred dollars. Other duties such as Sports duties, Welfare Work and Pairades were also enthusiastically attended to in the course of the past year. Our motto is ' .Be Prepared'; be prepared to serve and in serving, we aim at being perfect. With all its duties, its camping fu_n and adventure, Scouting brings to its indulgents the true spirit of a brotherhood and the schooling in the ways of a gentleman. A.S.M.

At the end of last. year we had 13 members and due to a number of our boys leaving School, we ended up with only 3 of the original number at the beginning or the 2nd Term. Our Crew has never been in such an unfavourable position, but, the ' Big Three ' strove on and started a campaign to enlist new members. The number slowly increased to our present strength of 7 and now we are trying our best to increase this number. Our former R.S.L. Goon Fatt Chee left us near the end of last year and in his place we have R.S.L. S. Selvadurai. In spite of our small number, our ever willing and energetic Rovers can be seen, participating and rendering services on such occasions as :- The Nurses Pageant, The P .A.A.A. Sports, The M.A.A.A. Sports, etc. We have regular outings besides the meetings we have in School. Sometimes we split up and station ourselves at different places along a chosen route of approximately 5 miles testing Scouts in the Venturer's Badge Part. II Test. To all those who left us last year and in the course of this year, we would like to thank them for all that they have done for the Crew and we wish them every success in all their ventures. Jion. Secretary.
The Penang Free School Magazine THE PENANG (No. 2) SQUADRON FEDERATION OF MALAYA AIR TRAINING CORPS 75 Officers.-Flt./Lt. R. T. Swales who was in command of the Squadron, left us last September and the Command was then taken over by Flt./Lt. Ong Teong Guan. The present serving Officers Flt./Lt. Ong Teong Guan FIO Tan Ah Fee - PIO Joseph Choong PIO Wong Teik Siew PIO Goh Eng Khuan are:- Commanding Officer. Adjutant. Equipment Officer. l\'lcdical Adviser.-This is the first year in which t,he Squadron is privileged to have Dr. Lim Ewe Hin, a former school captain of the P.F.S., as our honorary medical officer.

Interest and keenness are shown during lectures, foot-drill and musketry {on Mondays only J. Defaulters parade is held on Saturdays at 09.00 Hours. During the April Holidays with the help of Flt./Lt. Hoppit cadets from A and B flights visited the R.A.F. Station at Butterworth. During these visits 6 cadets were given air familiarization in D. H. Venom jet-trainers. Annual Camp.-The annual A.T.C. Camp was held during the August holidays, 1955 for a period of 10 days from 13th August to 22nd August, at the Royal Naval Air Station at Sembawang, Singapore. There were altogether about 200 cadets, 100 from the Federation and 100 from Singapore. Cadets toured the Naval Base, the aerodromes and R.A.F. workshops in Singapore, Haw Par Villa, etc. The training ended w_ith a sports meet including swimming and a concert which was enjoyed by all. Numerous photographs taken in the camp were displayed in the Free School Exhibition held in October lasl year. Our turn out in the camp was given special mention. Thanks.-The Squadron records its grateful thanks to the Officers of the M.A.A.F. and all others who have given their help in one way or another. Flt./Lt. Hoppit and Flt./Lt. Lawrence of the R.A.F.

76 The Penang Free School Magazine Flt./Lt. Tolley of the M.A.A.F. instructed our cadets in • Engines.' We thank the Captain, Officers and men of H.M.S. Simbang for the kindness shown in camp. Farewell.-We are indeed sorry to lose Sgt. Ringland of lhe M.A.A.F. who has gone on transfer and who has been instructing our cadets in the # Machine Gun,' •Explosive ' and shooting, for the last three years. We have come to regard him as one of us. We send him our best wishes for the future. We record '1\-ith great pleasure the good work done for the Corps by Vlarrant Officer Johan Ariff who joined the Corps when it was formed in 1952. He was a disciplinarian and much of the good discipline of the Corps is due to him and Warrant Officer N . A. Ogle whom he succeeded. We wish him all the best in his new undertaking. W/ O Teoh Tiaw Seang. P.F.S. ARMY CADET CORPS For the Army Cadet Corps, 19513 opened with high hopes for more interesting and progressive• training and consequent higher standard of efficiency, so that the laudable object for which the Force has been formed, may be fulfilled. But ...... . .. .. . ? The training for the year began with the Inspection of the Corps by Major G. M. Thirwell, 2-in-C, 2 R.A.R. Since the affiliation of the Corps to 2 R.A.R. Major Thirwell had taken much interest in the welfare of the Corps, and on more than one occasion had stepped off the usual alignment in order to give impetus to the training. It is a great pity that this very understanding and enthusiastic Officer had to sever active connection with the Corps. We can only. hope that when more areas in Malaya have been declared "white," Major Thirwell will return to permanent duty in the Settlement to "whip" or "pet" the Corps with modern methods of training. During the first term the Corps had cxt,ensive training in Musketry and Drill under three Instructors of 2 R.A.R. either at the school or at Minden Barracks. The Corps was divided into three Squads- ·potential N.C.O's- partially trained Cadets- and the Recruits, each under one Instructor. No doubt all Cadets enjoyed to the full every stage of the training throughout the period, particularly that imparted by Sergt. Wiltshire, Sergt. Oldham and Staff Sergt. Johnson really meant military business while instructing, and their discipline must have awakened the Cadets to the difference in behaviour while playing wit h fountain pens in the Class-rooms and handling Arms on the barrack square. To prevent the Corps from being lop-sided, the Otncers, l.oo, were put under exhaustive training twice a week at Minden Barracks. But most unfortunately this programme of training for the Officers and Other Ranks had inevitably to be discontinued very early in May because of heavier commitments of 2 R.A.R. elsewhere. It is only to be hoped that in 1957 special attentfon

The Penang Free School Magazine 77 will be given to the training of Offieers if progressive attainment of the Corps is to be realised. If Camp or Camps cannot be organised solely for Cadet Officers, can't an alternative scheme be thought out? Since May the training of the Corps had been thrown almost entirely on the shoulders of the C.O. Extra training for potential N.C.O's was arranged In addition to the usual Parades, and at the end of June 15 Cadets sat for Promotion Examination, and 10 passed the Test; they were promoted the following week. The Corps is now concentrating on the syllabus for Cert. A Part I . The strength of the Corps as authorised by the establishment has always been maintained, but at the moment we are short of one Officer. Mr. G. M. Thomasz has been recommended for Commission, and although his papers were forwarded months ago, the Corps has not yet been vouchsafed with Lhe approval of the recommendation. But Mr. Thomasz has been carrying on his duties as an Officer "in mufti " since February in anticipation of the Commission. There is an instruction somewhere .that the uniform of the Cadet Force will gradually change from O.G. to K.D. To give effect to this instruction the Corps was issued with K.D. uniforms some time in April, but their O.G. are still "on parade." The Corps will parade in K.D. jackets and slacks for the first time on School Speech Day. Quite recently another article of u.niform has been added-web belts purchased from military stores. As these belts have seen service before, they are not of one colour, and it is a problem to the Officers to reduce all belts to one colour, as green blanco is not obtainable in the Town. The Corps Commander hopes that with the assistance of NAAFI at Minden Barracks, very soon all web belts will be bathed only in olive green. This year the Corps has appeared in public only once when one Platoon participated in Vehicles Parade as part of the celebrations of Her Majesty the Queen's Birthday in June. The Commonwzalth Day Parade which was scheduled to take place on 24th May, had to be cancelled because of very bad weather. Their second big parade (in conjunction with A.T.C. and the Scouts) will be the Guard of Honour on 20th October. There has been a suggestion that a Detachment should represent the Corps on Remembrance Day Parade in November. We hope the Garrison Commander will not allow this suggestion to slip out of his mind. Because of the absence of the Corps Commander on long leave Lieut. Tan Boon Soon has been acting as the C.O., and will continue in that capacity until further orders. Md. Noor b.

78 The Penang Free School Magazine THE ATHLETIC CLUB Master-in-Charge Asst. Masters Sports Captain Vice Captain Secretary Mr. M. S. R. Ambrose. Mr. Teh Kheng Choo! and Mr. Ool Kok Swee. Ng Hon Leong. Ng Kim Seng. Khoo Soo Keat. The year 1956 can be considered as a "Red Letter Year '' for the School in the field of athletics. The School athletes excelled themselves at Athletic Meets and displayed good sportsmanship in the many meets in which they participated, scoring success after success as a team and as individuals. The Athletic team has won a large number of trophies but these are not our true achievements. It is our aim to take part in the meets. This we can honestly say we have fulfilled. In Feb., a few selected boys from the Club, participated in the "Walking Race " sponsored by the P .W.D .. over a distance of 13 miles. Govindasamy was placed third. on Mar. 10th, the P.A.A.A. Cross Country Run was held and eight of our boys were invited to take part in it. The race was run over a gruelling distance of 5 miles. Keeping up the pace with the leaders from the · start, Md. Said b. Salleh did extremely well to finish a close second. Sald's wonderful stamina and determination carried him through. All our runners completed the course in a creditable time. Said was selected to represent Penang in the Malayan Cross Country Run; he gave a remarkable performance to finish among the first 10 runners. At the R.A.F. Sports in Butterworth, the School Relay team lost narrowly only to the crack Telecoms S.C. in the Medley Relay. At the H.S.B.M. Sports, the relay team came in third in the 4 x 110 yd. Relay. In the 100 yd. Invitation Race, Ng Kim Seng was third, finishing 10.6 secs. In the Mile Invitation Event, Govindasamy and Said Salleh finished fourth and fifth respectively. At the S.X.I. Sports, the School third string was unplaced. After this fair start of the season, the School triumphed in the following meets as champions. At the P .W.D. Sports, Kumarasingham ran a grand race to finish third in the \', mile Invitation Race. In June, at the C.R.C. Sports, the Relay team carried the School colours to victory In the 4 x 110 yd. Relay for schools, clocking 47.3 sec. Bu t in the 4 x 110 yd. Relay for P.A.A.A. affll!ates, the same team managed to secure only 4th placP, partly due to exhaustion on the part of the runners. At the Police Sports, the School was again second to the Telecoms S.C. in the ~', mile relay.
The Penang Free School Magazine 79 At the Telecoms Sports in Province Wellesley, the School was unlucky to be second in both the \:i mile relay and the Mile Relay. At the P.A.A.A. Meet, the School athletes who participated in it gave a magnificent performance and by their efforts, placed themselves among the best athletes in Penang. It was complete victory for t)'le School in 6 events and these successes should serve as an impetus to further successes in the near future. The School swept the board in the team events, emerging as the champion team. It was most exhilarating to see our boys beating reputed runners and more so to see the boys win·ning as a team. The Relay team scored easy victories in t,he Inter-School 4 x 110 yd. Relay, the Inter-School Mile Relay and the Mile Relay (Open) and a second in the \'. Mile Relay (Open). In the individual events, Said Salleh made a ·wonderful effort to secure the trophy for the 6 Miles Walk which was an M.A.A.A. Event and for the 3 Miles in 17 min. 4 sec. Abdul Aziz drew attention by winning the 120 yd . . Hurdles. Ng Hon Leong was second in both the Long Jump and the Triple Jump; and Ng Kim Seng was third in the " century " sprint. It was indeed a great triumph · for the School on that day. The Athletic Club entered a small number of 33 competitors in the Comb. Schools Eports and secured 4 "winner " and 8 .. standard " medals. The School team comprised :- Ng Hon Leong, Ng Kim Seng, Abdul Aziz, Khoo Kay Hin, Kumarasingham, Md. Hussein, Said Salleh, Govindasamy. Mohideen and Lim Wee Keat. We are happy to state that Ng Hon Leong, Ng Kim Seng, Said Salleh, Abdul Aziz and Kumarasingham have been selected to represent Penang in the forthcoming M.A.A.A. Meet. At present, the strength of the Club is 199 members, most of whom arc in Class 3. Training days are on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with cross-country runs every fortnight. Many of our athletes left us last year. We arc glad to say that our ex-athletes are faring well as members of other teams. We congratulate the following recipients of colours for athletics last year:- V. Robert (reawardJ , K. Manokaran (reaward), Ng Hon Leong, Quah Koon Chong, Tay Boon Eng, Ng Kim Seng, James Dorairaj, and Md. Said b. Salleh . The successes of this season show for themselves the vast improvemen t we have made since 1951. These advances have been achieved through only serious and regular training. We do not intend to rest on our laurels but to go from strength to strength and strive to uphold the high reputation of the School in the field of athletics. Secretar)'.

Khoo Heng Choon. Khoo Teng Eng. Thong Kar Cheong. Ch'ng Eng Keat. Tan Kim Leong. The numerical strength of the Department at the beginning of the . year was 123, but it would have been very much more had it not been for the fact that so many enthusiasts from the lower forms had to be turned away due to their smallness of size- -a shortcoming which would be a distinct handicap to· them amongst the bigger members in the section! We deeply regret the departure of Messrs. Yeoh Aik Hooi and Lye Tong Weng, who have done so much towards maintaining and fostering the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship amongst our boys. In their place we welcome Mr. Lim Teng Sun, who comes to us from the Athletic Club. To all the members who have left school to strike out for their own in this world, we accord our sincere wishes for a happy and successful future. Especially so to our tireless secretary Pravinchand Shah, who is now in the University of Malaya, the Basketball captain, Oo Joo! Hong, and to Yong Peng Choon, the Volleyball captain. They carry with them happy memories o! the afternoons spent in this Department and these, {to my mind), constitute a priceless part of their school life. Certificates of Merit were awarded to the followJng :-Pravlnchand Shah, Oo Jooi Hong, Yong Peng Choon, Ng Khye Soon, and Khoo Heng Choon. The following have been awarded school basketball team colours this year :-Khoo Teng Eng, Thong Kar Cheong, Khoo Cheng Tat, Tan Teng Nam, Lim Tong· Juan, Tan Chin Aik, Teddy Lam, Chang Kok Hwa, and Khoo Heng Choon. It ls a lamentable fact that the P.R.D. is not given clue recognition for the vital role which it plays in the school's extra-mural activities. In no other section is "the spirit of sportmanship and co-operation so deeply instilled into the boys as in this Department where, in basketball and volleyball- essentially tea_m games- they are imbued with the true essence of sport, and a sense of equality, the two of which do so much towards moulding one's character and moral dignity. Here one can really " let off steam " in a healthy way. The section acts as a natural vent for the pent-up energy and emotions in a way that no other can, apart from possibly, the Extra-Games Section. It will be a great day in the history of this Department when its true values and importance are realised, and it ls raised to the status of the Athletic Club, financially or otherwise.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Mr. Cheah Gynn Seong our new master-in-charge of the Garden Club and we hope that under his wise guidance the activities of the club will be greatly extended and improved. This year the club has 94 members divided into 14 sections, each having a leader who takes care of his boys and tells them what to do. Some boys. work in the biological garden, others take care of the two gardens· bordering the school hall and the vegetable garden. The main tasks of the bc,ys 1n the biological garden are the prov1s1on of plants like balsam for experiments, potting of flowers and ferns and the growing of flowers. In the vegetable garden the boys have planted many kinds of vegetables. such as kang kong,' maize, _groundnuts, long beans and ladies fingers. [This year we have all the necessary toois and the boys are glad about itl. Of all the crops planted this year the most successful is kang kong. Alt,hough the harvest is not so good as last year the boys keep up their pluck and hope to do better next year. Snails and ants destroy many plants and this gives us a headache. Owing to the help given to us by Mr. Rashid we are able Lo get rid of these intruders. The term being short, many of the vegetables planted have to be harvested at the beginning of the second term. Some of the boys watered the plants dm-ing the holidays. The good progress of the club is due to the undivided attention of the boys and above all the co-operation between the leaders and members. The attendance of the club is on the whole good. Secretary.
82 The Penang Free School ·Magazine -------·---------- ------ ---- - - . EXTRA GAMES Master-in-charge Mr. Tan Thean Kee. Assisted by - Messrs. Goh Teong· Chye and Ch'ng Eng Kee. This section is com.prised of boys in Form I. On the · average, the boys this year are younger and smaller than those in the stream received from the Feeder Schools in 1955. At the beginning of the year there were altogether 151 boys. Later on in the first term 3 boys joined the Scout Troop and 7 were transferred to the Athletic Club. Instructions in Cricket were given in the first term, Rugby Football in the second, and Soccer in the third. The attendance has been very good (more than 90 ','r ) at the meetings which are held from 4.15 p.m. to 5.15 p.m. every Monday and Thursday.
The Penang Free School Magazine 83 GAMES SOCCER Master-in-Charge Mr. Tan Boon Soon. Asst. Masters Messrs. Kang Kee Chuang and Tch Kheng Chooi. Captain Vice Captain S ecretary Abdul Aziz. Abdullah Rahman. Mohicteen A. Kader. This year has been a very successful one for the school soccer eleven. We won all the inter-school matches except the one against M.C.K.K . At the beginning of the season, we were badly handicapped as m a ny of our former players had to leave school. Moreover, our enthusiastic and able coach, Mr. Chang Min Kee had left the school at the end of last year. He had been indefatigable in his efforts to raise the standard of soccer in t he school. We wish him every success in his new post. Mr. Ta n Boon Soon, an all-round sportsman, was appointed the coach. Much of the success of the team is due to his encouragement a nd coaching. During school practices, there was a good attendance and there were many promising youngsters with potential talent. What they needed was some coaching and experience. Friendly matches were played against outside clubs and before the beginning of the school soccer season, we managed to put up a young but formidable team. We had managed to combine well and had gained much experience. Aziz Ibrahim was elected captain of the team by a n overwhelming majority. The School Sports Committee organised an inter-school soccer league for all the schools in Penang. There were three divisions according to the ages of the boys. This was to encourage soccer among school children in the settl~- ment. Our team did exceptionally well to emerge champions in the first and third divisions. We were unbeaten in all our encounters against settlement schools. In t.he previous years our stumbling block had been the C.L.H.S. XI. But, tu the astonishment of m any, we managed to " conquer " them in a thrilling and exciting match. This ma tch was undoubtedly the most exciting one played this season. The m a tch was played on the C.L.H.S. ground and, as usua l, the " Chung Ling Roar " wa s there. From the start, the match was keenly contested. Our pla yers pla yed with great dete rmination a nd confidence. A beautiful move by Lhe forwa rds resulted in the school scoring a fine goal. But the lead was shortlived for the C.L.H.S. XI scored ba ck with a lovely stinging shot. After the interval, the game was a ding-dong battle with both teams exhibiting good t eam work. About t en minutes before time. a melee n ear t he opponen ts· goal mout h r esulted in Boo Hock ta ppin g th e ba ll in to scor e the
The Penang Free School Magazine winning goal. Our opponents pressed hard to share the honours but our defence shattered their hopes for they formed an impregnable barrier against the continuous attack. Our · opponents deserve much praise for bein_g gallant losers. We played hosts to the K.E. VII (XI) and the M.C.K.K. XI. The former had always been our great rivals. This year, tlley were beaten by 4-1. But we were badly beaten by the M.C.K.K. XI. We lost by 5- 1. Though we lost the game, we put up a good show. The Collegians were, undoubtedly, faster and more experienced. In the Mentri Besar Cup match between our tear.·. and the S.A.H.C. XI, we beat our rivals by a good margin. They lost by 5- 1 on their own ground. It was a great honour for the team when six of our players wereselected to represent .the_ Combined Schools Soccer team. They were Abdullah Rahman, Said Salleh, Mohideen· A.K., Lim Say Chong, Mohd. Musa and Cheah Tjeng Siang. · ·· We wound up our soccer season by playing against the Old Frees. This. year, our elders managed to put up a young and fast team. · But they lacked. combination. They were trounced by 11- 4. Congratulations to the following for obtaining school colours :- Pawanteh Omar, Manoharan, Lim Eng Yeang. Quah Khoon Chong. Our popular captain, Pawanteh Omar and our industrious and amiablesecretary, See Chim Leong, left us at the end pf the year.

The Periang Free Scl~ool_. Mag~zine ---- 85 Our former and present school team players have achieved great success at home and abroad. Eddie Choong, our ex-captain, regained the all-England singles crown by overcoming the challenge of the Indonesian and Danish players. In Australia, See Chim Leong captured the National doubles title as well as being a semi-finalist in the singles event. Lim Ah Soo and Choong Ewe Eong, two of our former captains, are also hitting the top grade there. The prestige of our present school badminton team was given a boost when Lim Say Wan annexed the Penang Schoolboys' singles and doubles titles, the latter with Chew Kim Boon as partner. We also congratulate Chew Kim Boon on his joining the Penang senior ranks this year. Lim Say Wan and Lee Guan Chong, an ex-school team playe r, captured the Malayan Schoolboys' Doubles title. In this event, since its inception in 1953, our school team players have been most conspicuous. For two years, 1953 and 1954, See Chim Leong and Lim Say Hup were the champions. We consoled ourselves last year when Wong Theng Leong and Lim Say Wan could only be the finalists. However, the Free School name is once more engraved on that beautiful cup presented by Dato Paglar. Last year, school colours were awarded to: Lim Say Wa n . Reawards: See Chim Leong and Lee Guan Chong. The school tournament last year was successfully completed. Al~ the even ts were keenly participated and many thrilling matches were witnessed. The La dy Abdool Kadeer Challenge Cup was captured by Lee Guan Chong who emerged as champion in the Open Singles event. Lim Say Wan was winner in the Handicap Singles, Foo Hong Tat and Lee Guan Chong proved to be . U1e best pair in the Handicap Doubles draw. The popularity of the game is inc·reasing by leaps and bounds judging by the wonderful response given by the staff and pupils in this year's tournament which is in its closing stages. The team with its fresh lot of players enjoyed considerable success this season. We defeated the Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Star and entered the semi-finals of the Penang Junior Inter-Team Tourney: but were on the losing side against the St. Xavier's Institution, and some oth er matches. With constant practice and under the able guidance of our coach, Mr. Teh Kheng Chooi, we hope to build up a strong team. Coach Asst. Coach Captain Asst. Captain Secretary Asst.

The school cricket team has had a fairly successful season up to the lime of printing. Of ihe seventeen matches played, we won eight and lost seven. So far we have been unbeaten in inter-school games but we have not shown up so well against the clubs.
86 The Penang Free School Magazine Although we started the season with two convincing victories over the Police Sports Club and the Y.M.S.A., we were less fortunate in later games, but our boys have improved considerably and we won five consecutive matches before being defeated by the Old Frees. We congratulate the Old Frees on their. success. Last season the school team won the D'Arcy Irvine Cup in the annual knock-out competition for schools in Penang, Province Wellesley and Kedah. It was the team's second success since the inauguration of the competition in 1953. With our bowlers in good form we might be able to win this year's competition and it is our fervent desire to retain the cup. Mr. Tan Boon Soon, our coach, left us last season. We thank him heartily for his services. We are glad to have with us Mr. Selvadurai and Mr. Thomasz who are our new coaches. This year we were without the services of many of our old players one of whom was our former captain A. Mathiavaranam who played for the Settlement and was awarded the school colours last season. ·we offer him our congratulations. Cheah Eok Guan, Victor Robert, Eu Eng Teong, Cheah Teik Chong. N. Ogle, Wu Peng Chong and Pravinchand left us last year. They carry away with them pleasant memories of their happy days in the Cricket Section. We wish them success in their new spheres of life. The following boys represented the school in cricket matches : Thong Kar Cheong, Beh Sun Chew, Richard Hzieh, Ang Thoon Seng, Jeyasingham.

We owe this to our untiring and painstaking coach and his two energetic assistants. However it is rather unfair if we should forget the players, whose keenness and zeal played a major part in the success. The success might reach 'infinity' had it not been for the shortage ol one hockey pitch- our regular one. This pitch was under repair for most of th€ season. Much inconvenience was caused to many teams who were eager to meet either of our three teams. We offer our apologies to them and hope that the same thing will not happen next season. This shortage left us the use of only one pitch and resulted obviously in the Jack of practices and matches. Despite this handicap and the loss of several of our last year's players. our school first team managed to field a formidable side, losing only one of the ten encounters. It would be individious if we singled out any player for It was. as n. team that we played, Sad to say, our second string lost all their five matches, but it is to be understood that, due to the lack of practices, they could not combine well. alt.hough several of the players showed great promise.
88 The Penang Free School Magazine The third team had the services of three Form Six girls, but was only able to play two matches Creason obvious) and they came out victorious in them. We hope to give them more matches next year and we also hope that more girls will come forward to play in the Third XI. As in the previous years, the school found difficulty in beating the Old Boys and this season the school managed to beat them with a last minute goal. Although the school had virtually won the Cheah Inn Klong Cup, having beaten the Old Boys in football and cricket, the hockey team never took things easy. At the end of the match the Headmaster said that he hoped the O.F.A. would step forward and wrest the cup from the school. We hope they will! This report would not be complete if we should leave out the 'gains' of several of the players. School Colours :- Cheah Eok Guan (Rea ward). Ch'ng Eng Keat (Award). Abdullah Rahman (Award).

All the above players and Wong Tuck Chong represented the Combined Schools' Hockey team, while Cheah Eok Guan, Abdullah Rahman and Ch"ng Eng Keat also represented the Settlement team.

This year we had a very enjoyable season playing 15 matches. We emerged victors in 5 matches and drew in 2 games. The number of games lost is no indication of the prowess of the team as our opponents were very good and often possessed heavier packs. The year 1955 saw a slight change in the school rugger section for in addition to the usual 1st. and 2nd. XV we had the 3rd. XV which consisted of boys under 15 years of age. Practices began at the end of the 2nd. term and continued during the August vacation. After a period of orthodox training in ball handling, tackling and running we saw a vast improvement in a lmost every player. All our increase in interest and skill in the game was t h e work of our ever energetic Coach, Mr. Tan Ah Fee and our Assistant Coaches Mr. S. Selvadurai and Mr. Goh Teong Chye.
The Penang Free School :Magazine 89 The best match of the season was the one against our toughest rivals, the King Edward VII School, Taiping. Fine tackling, fierce forward rushes combined with some three-quarter sprints made the game an exciting one for the ball was sent all over the field. Though the visitors fielded a better allround team and had a slight edge over us in the line-outs and the scrums, play was almost equal and ended in a 5-3 victory for them. Then came the match aga'inst the S.A.H.C. Three of our teams travelled to Alor Star to play against them. The results of these matches were not very impressive for we lost all the three games. However we fought very hard against them and were satisfied that we had done our best having kept up the true aim of sports which is not to win but to take part. This year we had no difficulty in beating the High School Bukit Mertajam. We were victorious in 3 out of the 4 matches played. We had two matches during the December holidays, one against the Clifford School which ended in a draw, and the other against the King George V School which we won. CongraLulation goes to the following for representing the school in the Combined Schools' XV which travelled to Ipoh to meet the Central Perak Combined Schools. They are : Quah Khoon Chong (Capt.) , Ahmad Long, Lim Earn Seng, Said Salleh, Mohamed Hussein, Tan Huat Chye and Lim Beng Huat. Rugger Colours for 1955 were awarded to Quah Koon Chong, Chin Let Hoong, Cheah Khaik Kheng, Said Salleh, Jamil Wahi and were reawarded to Aziz Ibrahim. Finally we wish to express our sincere thanks to all officials of the P .R.U. who gave us their valuable time and advice during the season and allowed our boys free admission to all the inter-state matches.

Swimming which is a very popula r, healthy and enjoyable aquatic sport is being given a hearty response from the boys of this school, whose Swimming SecLion consists of 92 keen members. Good swimmers assist the masters by becoming instructors to t h e beginners who have been showing gr eat enthusiasm. - It is our sincerest hope that this enthusiasm will not be " a flash in the pan." We are indeed very proud to say that those good swimmers willingly volunteered for t,heir posts thus showing that they are indeed keen to strengthen our section. Thanks must also be given to the masters-in-cha rge for th eir energetic coaching which has made our Wednesday and Friday meet ings at the newChinese Swimming Club very worthwhile and enjoyable.
90 The Penang- Free School Magazine Howeve1 WE are verJ sorry tc losE: om popular coach, Mr Tan Wah Kim who left us at the end of 1st. Term but we warmly welcome in his place, Mr. Tan Chong Bee to our Section. This year too, as in previous years, we lost many good swimmers and also the invaluable services of Messrs. Khaw Che11g Eong and Choong Cheng Hock_:_the former Captain and Vice-Captain respectively. To them and all who left us, we send our best regards. To those other people who have assisted us, we are indeed very grateful. This year our Section had 4 competitions. They were :-· (a) Monthly Competitions As usual, monthly competitions are held regularly so that our swimmers may have an opportunity to prepare themselves for other competitions. (b) Inter-School Competition This competition was held on the 26th of May this year and our greatest rival was the Chung Ling High School. Our swimmers tried their hardest but with little success and we came in third in the 4 x 50 Metres Free Style Relay only. In the water-polo match we lost to a superior team·· -the Han Chiang High School, by 1- 9 and it was Lim Chin Teik who scored the only goal for us. However, we do not feel depressed by this result as "The Glory of Sport ls to take part and not to win." Below are the names of the swimmers who represented us : - Relay Team :- Chan Peng Lau. Chin Min Nghee, Lim Hock Cheng, Lee Kong Hean. Water-Polo :- Khoo Beng Jin, Ko Boon Chen, Lee Kong Hean. Chin Min Nghee, Lim Chin Teik, Lim Hock Cheng, Chan Peng Lau. (c) Water Festival During this historic Festival, our school took part in 3 events. In the Medley Relay, our Team A was placed second while Team B, third. We were also placed second in the rowing event and third in paddling. 'T'he following boys represented the school:- Medley Relay for Boys under 17 :- Team A :- Lim Hock Cheng, Lee Kong Hean, Chan Peng Lau. Team B :- Wong Lok Wah, Chun Poh Choy, Chin Min Nghee.

The P Pnang Free School Magazine 91 (d) Annual Swimming Competition This was held on 25th. Wednesday and 27th friday, July; 1956 and a very keen competition was seen as the Dolphins and the Whales strove against one another to become the winner. Many of our swimmers took part while those who did not, also attended to cheer their respective teams. The Cheah Inn Kiong shield went to the Dolphins, who scored 68 points while the Whales took the Eckersall Cup for water-polo. Roger Vaughn (Whales) who joined our Section during the 2nd. Term of this year, created an upset by winning all the three events he participated in to become the champion swimmer in Class A. The runner-up was Lim Hock Cheng (Dolphins). The champion swimmer for Class B was Wong Lok Wah (Whales) with Chun Poh Choy (Whales) as runner-up. In Class C the champion swimmer was Choon Pak Leng (Dolphins) with Oh Siew Kok (Dolphins) as runner-up. Indeed it was a pity that no record was either broken or equalled but, however, we hope to break some in the near fut ure.

[This year our House has quite a number of changes I. We regretfully bade farewell to Mr. Yeoh Aik Hooi. who left us after the first term. He had done invaluable service to the House by his capable management and had aroused great enthusiasm in the boys, and therefore we shall miss him very much. In his place we welcome Mr. Saunderson, a new teacher to our school, and a great enthusiast too. Young and energetic faces, all willing to pledge their services replace some of the old familiar stalwarts of the House each year. To those young men who have to leave us, we wish them the best of luck in their endeavours in this surging sea which is called Life. To those who are new amongst us, we say " welcome " · and may they keep our motto " Courage and Honour " as their guide. This year funds for the House were collected, and these funds were used for buying jerseys for boys representing the House in games and sports, and in providing refreshment:; during house matches. The house members co-operated splendidly and each of us donated a dollar. The elected House Council is functioning smoothly and the aim that the boys should play a part in running the House seems to be realised. The Council meets often to discuss matters concerning the House and the School in general. At the meetings, the Housemaster takes the chair and he also advises . the Council and takes part in debates.
The Penang Free School Maga7,ine 93 In the athletic field , our House did remarkably well by winning the Additional Sports. We also captured the coveted Hamilton Cup for Inter-Hous<! soccer knock out tie. Surely we can add a few more trophies to our House before the year ends. HAMILTON House Master Asst.

The House is a corporate part of that complex and enormous organisation, the School, and to each and every one of its members, it remains a cherished and well-beloved emblem of his school days. It is a part of himself, and in it h e sees the rise and fall of his fortunes and endeavours in the friendly rivalry that exists in all fields with the other Houses. Long after a " Free" has left school and forgotten most of what he remembers about it--the teachers, the work, the discipline and laxity, and what not, he all too often still retains vivid memories of his House. This is not too surprising when one remembers that a boy merges his personality into his House's, and gives of his best to it in a manner which he can hardly produce for the school. Hamilton House has always had reason to be proud of its loyal members. There is a tangible thread of unity underlining the endeavours of the House. and to an old Hamiltonian there is nothing so pleasant as to nostalgically r ecall a particular year in which his House fared particularly well in a certain sport. However, the vintage joke about the House still remains 'The Opening Incomparable ' in conversation. When an old salty Ham meets a ' young tar,' the conversation usually runs like this :- ·• How's life ? " " Fine! " " How about the old House?" " Same as ever- no change." " Don't tell me, I know. We're still last in the Sports! ' (mutual laughter at this.)
94 The Penang Free School :Magazine No House can always be first in the Annual Sports, but no House except Hamilton has always faithfully failed to be first! (Needless to say, we maintained our proud record again this year! ) . However this athletic lethargy of ours is well conpensated for in field sports. Hamilton House has become an almost legendary figure in cricket, and our Invincibility In this has again been demonstrated · this year in our retention of the Cricket Shield. This year too we came near to winning the League Soccer competition, being second to Hargreaves in it. Here I digress to bring out one salient feature of Hamilton House. It is a joy to turn up for our House -practices as the boys literally effervesce with enthusiasm. Our games practices have the distinction of having the most participants, and unlike some of the other Houses which often have to have their practices delayed because of scarcity of numbers, ours are all too often delayed because of sheer preponder.ance of enthusiasts! This is the sort of Interest that a House thl"ives upon, and the type that enables it to go from strength to strength. This is the sort of spirit that every old Ham remembers long after he has left the sequestered portals of the school. For this is Hamilton House! Secretary. HARGREAVES HOUSE House Master Mr. S.

The House made a new start this year and great progress was made, there being more spirit and enthusiasm in the boys than was found last year. Every event seemed to bode well for the Honse this year and had not misfortune dogged our steps, we would have been extremely successful in all fields.
The Penang Free School Magazine 95 Early in the year the support in the football practices was very encouraging and it was not surprising that we became the Champion House in the football league. Heartened by this success, we settled down tor the big events, t.he Additional Sports and Annual Sports. In the Additional Sports, we were leading all the way and just when victory s~emed assure.ct, we __ were beat~n by_ 2 points in the last minute. It was the same story in the School Annual Sports. We were leading all the way and Hargreaves House seemed unbeatable as event after event passed still leaving Hargreaves proudly on the top, but as in the Additional Sports, we faltered on the brink of victory and had to be contented with second place. In the Hamilton Cup, we were again unfortunate and had to be contented as rw1ners-up. Misfortune seemed to be our due this year, but the boys of Hargreaves House are not losing heart, and we are sure that the enthusiasm and interest of the boys, as shown by the strong support constantly given, can but inevitably lead lo future victories. It is unfortunate that the stalwarts o! the previous year have left us. Our energetic House Captain, Victor Robert, a veteran of many victories, has left us, much to our regret. We also lost a very able and untiring worker and enthusiast in our former secretary, Pravinchand Shah, who had gone to the University of Malaya. Khoo Huat Hin, our Sports Captain, a real stalwart of the House, has also left us. To all of them we wish the best of fortune and success in their future careers. Many events are yet to come, " Hargreavites." So continue to support your House and be assured that your efforts will bear forth most encouraging results! PINHORN House Master Asst.

We are looking forward to better results In the third term. We will strive and hope that trophies will come to brighten up our record. We should say that our not so successful endeavours are somewhat compensated by the achievements of two outstanding members of the House. Abdul Aziz, our House Captain, was the winner in the P.A.A.A.

Another brightening and encouraging result comes from Said Salleh, our Rugger Captain, who was first in the three miles event of the P.A.A.A .

To those House Officials and members of the House who have left us, particularly Lee Teng Chye, K. Manokaran and A.

Finally we must not forget to mention the hard work put in by the House Masters and the keen interest they have taken in the ,velfare of the House.

The Penang Free School Magazine 07 A note on the House spirit. We can truly say that the morale of the House has never been higher and the will ' to play" the game' (and, of course, if possible to win) has always been with our teams in whatever we participate. The membership of the House stands at 164. The boys are divided into the us·ual classes viz., Class 1 Class II Class III 66 boys 45 boys 53 boys The House is ' governed ' by a 15-boy House Council which is assisted by the House Masters. The members of the House Council are House Prefects. The House Council meets regularly to discuss matters which arise from their control of the House. It was on the recommendation of the Council that jerseys and refreshments be provided for the House teams at matches and also for the new method of collecting subscription for the House Fund. We were highly succe.,;-sful in the Rugger season last year, when after a 'hard figh t' we won the Rugger Shield. The teams can be congratulated for their magnificent win. In the Additional Sports, the House· competed with all zest but was not so successful. Nevertheless, in the Athletic Sports, although we started rather badly, the House managed, after providing the Sports spectators with a bundle of thrills, slowly but steadily to creep to the top and became Champion House of the day! Our House Prefects have been continuing their good work in helping the School Prefects during the school recess. Summing up, we -:an say that the machinery of the House has been and will be running on smoothly and at a high gear- a lways striving for the best. Secretary.

100 The Penang Free School :Magazine '!,. LETTER FROM MALAYAN TRAINING COLLEGE. KIRKBY Kirkby, 31st May, 1956. To The Editor, P.F.S. Magazine. Dear Editor, Greetings from the old boys of the school. Some of us who will soon be flying home will be overjoyed to see you again. It is not quite the point that we miss and long for the delicious portions in the canteen which even money can't buy here in England, but rather we will delight to saunter along the well-known corridors again, to meet familiar faces and see new ones, to greet and make exchanges with former masters, to feel the spirit and bustle that reminds us of those happy schooldays. School is still our domina n t interest but once we were the leg-pullers and worry of the teachers, now we have to tread with caution and control. And as we walk round the school we will recount the times when we barely escaped detection after some tomfoolery. Yes, we stlll remember those not so far away days. Here in Kirkby we are very conscious of our Alma Mater. The School Tie is our conscious link; even when we leave college to visit places like London, Cambridge, and Oxford where there are Old Frees, the School Tie is a password for hospitality and friendliness. It never fails to attract the attention of some other Old Free. On every 21st of October Kirkbian Old Frees (a nd in fact Old Frees all over the world) ga ther to commemorate the foundin g of a magnificen t institution. Free School, the oldest in Malaya, plays a vital role in t h e progress of a dawning independent nation. Times have changed considerably since we left Malaya. When we return we will find a new generation of young Malayans eager for · knowledge and advancement. But it will be the school which will wield th em together under one loyalty- the paramount loyalty io lhe country. Fort.is atque fidclis brave and faithful- these a re the marks of a PFS boy. Till we meet again, a u r evoir. With best wishes from a ll Oki Frees in Kirkby. Yours faithfully, Khoo Phon Sai,
The Penang Free School Magazine 101 LETTER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND The Editor, The Magazine of the P.F.S., PENANG. Dear sir, Walcott Street St. Lucia, S.W.6. Queensland. 17th July, 1956. The Malayan student in Australia has an immense country before him. Aust~alia is a new love; it is a challenge. A new love because it means new faces, new ideas, new places, and new things. The stranger to Australia starts all over again Lesson One: How To Make Friends And Keep Them. Every one is curious about the newcomer. With the passage of time, this curiosity dies out. He is far from home : he thinks of home. He waits daily for the mail and the words from home. He eats Chicken Curry out of tins that his parents have sent him. He reads Malayan news as if he will wither or fade away if the crave is not satisfied. Faced with the management of his own budget, perhaps for the first time in his life, he becomes more and more aware of money. He keeps an account of his expenditure but involuntarily gives up after a few abortive attempts. He has to buy articles and gadgets which he had taken for granted. He increasingly becomes anxious that the price of cigarettes should not go up. He learns the finer art of how best to do one's laundry-work without burning the clothes with the iron. If he stays in a flat, his worry will be whether he should buy X or Y pounds of meat today? or: Have I run out of cooking oil? He jumps out of trams, saves . enough to have a meal at a Chinese Cafe, has a drop or two to drink, broods over books in the Great University Library. Incidentally, there are no Directed Study Periods! A challenge because it is here that the rest of his future is being shaped. He has come here for the explicit purpose of acquiring a sound University education. Here in Australia it is destined that lhe greater part of the glorious days of his youth will be spent. What he shall see here, what he shall experience will, without question, affect him now, and will surely continue to do so when he returns to his country. He is always aware of this. He is constantly sensitive to the treatment he meets with in his contact with the Australians. What does he think of them? What do they think of him? These questions always remain at the back of his mind. It gratifies him intensely when he meets Australians who are friendly, who take him for granted, and even know something of his own country. It thrills him on meeting an Australian who knows so much about Malaya that he could name, in order from north to south, all the small and big towns in Malaya. It amuses him when he hears a few Australians having their first go in the use of Cantonese for swearing. V\'hen I first arrived in Australia, Australia was a sum total or all the things I had come to know about it. It was, it goes without saying, a rosecoloured vision of fantastic things and the good life. Australia was a place with strange sounding place-names < Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. for instance), with equally strangely clad aborigines, with a hotch-potch of Koala Bears, Kangaroos,

To round off, I hope that the present Frees are still upholding the name of the School, both in the academic and the sporting fields, as it was so in the days of old. Sometimes I wished that I were bac_k in the Free School: a sch_ool with a great tradition. I understand that the Sixth Formers may be applymg for the Colombo Plan Scholarships to study in Australia next year. Best of luck, chaps! If you happen to find your way to Queensland, let me now s~mnd a note of warning. The winter is chilly ; and in summer there are swarms of mosquitoes. But then, as one Free to another, I shall probably sit up late at night helping you destroy the mosquitoes. To Yours sincerely, Lee Teng Chye. LETTER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MALAY A The Editor, P .F.S. Magazine. The University of Malaya, Singapore. 1st Sept., 1956. Dear Editor, A school that has a century of glorious history behind it often becomes too complacent and smug, content only to look back on its past laurels rather than strive for new ones. But the achievements of the present Old Frees in their various walks of life bear testimony to the fact that the Free School is neither complacent nor smug but still active in striving for new laurels. Even in an island 500 miles south, this spirit of endeavour is manifest. The list of Old Frees who are holding responsible positions and are outstanding citizens of this " City of the Lion " is formidable. To many a young Old Free trying to find a footing in a new and sometimes hostile world, the presence of such a significant group of Old Frees is very reassuring and encouraging. This is a letter of greeting, but above all this is a letter of assurance to all the self-sacrificing and devoted teachers, past and present, that their task of trying to make us useful citizens and responsible leaders have not been in vain, that we shall constantly strive to uphold the good name of the school, and that tucked away in a corner of our hearts there shall always remain a deep affection for the Grand Old School tha t has nurtured us so well during our most formative and impressionable years. Yours faithfully, Teh Eng Kim.
We wish to commend our Printers, Cathay Printers, for the very efficient manner in which they have completed their task although time was against us. The credit for the fine photographs in this magazine goes to Mun Photo Studio, Ko Boon Chen, Tan Seng Huat, Oh Seong Tit and Lee Seng Thye. We would also thank our generous Advertisers and recommend them, most warmly, to our Readers. -Editor.
