  1. In Pic 1, I think I see the former lady boss of St Mike's Canteen. Am I right?

  2. Pic 2, isn't that Thomas Jacques on the left and Vincent Kong? Both are from St. Joe, our seniors of 3-5 years?

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

  7. Good memories, ELAS. This annual SJS "Fun Fair" and the sale of SJS raffle tickets were some of the best fund raising events for SJS in those days. Any more of these "old" photos, ELAS or from anyone.
