“...州立之光、州立之光”这首校歌到目前为止我都还记得怎么唱呢!
在州立华小的日子实在是让我无法忘怀。刚踏进州立华小时,有种兴奋又期待的感觉布满我的全身。期待老师的到来、期待可以认识朋友、期待种种的...记得有一次,在我一年级时,刚好有位校长(好像是校长吧!记得是学校的长老。)要退休了,而我代表全校学生送礼物给她。当时,我真的觉得自己非常的荣幸,竟然被选择当代表。其实也不算是代表,就是有个老师叫我代表送的。至今我都无法忘记当时的感觉,现在回想起还真的很奇怪,奇怪怎么会选我去送纪念品呢!
我喜欢到学校的贩卖部买文具,就算是没有买也要去看看。这是因为小时候养成喜欢到书局逛的习惯。有一次,上课铃声响了,我还在排队买文具,结果迟到了。回到班上,竟然一个人也没有。当时我去了图书馆、草场和礼堂找也找不到。我开始害怕以及紧张了,唯有躲在班上的桌子下。后来班上的学生回来,好笑的是竟然没有人发现我的不见。唉,真是没有存在感啊!
在我三年级时,当时只有在三年级才开始有的上英文科,记得当时我的英文成绩都算不错的。但是在我四年级时,我的国文科一落千丈,国文科目一律不及格。后来是老师向我妈妈反映了,妈妈就帮我找补习了。在四年级的第二学期,我的国文科竟然全部及格,而且也有60-70分呢!
记得我很想像巡查员一样提早下课,感觉挺威风的,后来当上了卫生员而不是巡查员。因为卫生员也是有的提早下课吃东西的。
记得我在五、六年级时,我的成绩平平的,也不怎么出色。印象最深刻就是爸爸一段日子没工作,过后我没有得读“今日制”。副校长知道我的原因后,所以就让我给一半的学费就可以了。当时,我真的好开心。还真的要谢谢州立给我这个机会读书。谢谢州立栽培我、辅导我!
没有州立就没有我。每次向朋友说起我是来自哪一间小学时,我都很自豪的回答:“州立华小。”
“今天你以州立的辉煌而骄傲,明天州立以你的成功而自豪。”这一句话真的说得很不错。
SCHOOL CELEBRATION: Let’s do more for the good old ACS
By : VICTOR CHEW, Ipoh
TODAY, the Anglo-Chinese School, Ipoh (SMK Methodist Ipoh) will be 113 years old. In conjunction with this, the alumni association of the school will hold a dinner on Friday. Is this all we can do for an institution this old?
There must be more that the alumni of such a great school can do.
Having studied in this school from young and then returning to finish my career in education as its principal, I cannot but think back on this grand old institution as a loving and caring parent.
As alumni, even if you cannot attend the dinner, spare some time to reflect on what your school has done for you. Unfortunately, many feel that the school has not done anything for them, which may be true as many schools in Malaysia are not worth the title of "school" bestowed upon them.
However, one must remember that a school is not merely a building nor is it made up of one person. There are many teachers and students. A few may have offended you but many others there would have contributed to make your school life wonderful and hopefully, successful. If you failed, it may not be the school's fault but yours.
Each year when ACS Ipoh celebrates its anniversary, I reflect on the grandness of its buildings and grounds as well as the teachers who taught me, served the school and served with me in my final year of service there.
Where but in ACS Ipoh can one find an auditorium that holds Shakespearean plays year after year and musicals from Broadway as a tradition? Where else but in ACS Ipoh do you find a swimming pool and an indoor stadium nearby (Dewan Teerath Ram)?
Each year the alumni try to invite those who have retired and are still around for its annual dinner as a mark of respect, honour and appreciation. As we meet our former teachers, some so frail and weak, others still hearty and strong, we cannot help but say "without you, we wouldn't be what we are today".
