La Salle PJ turns 50

Dear Lasallians,

It was 50 years ago today when La Salle PJ started giving education to the public.
I recall the brief moments I had with Rev. Bro. Lawrence Spitzig the founder of our school. He'd tell me how it all started.. How he'd raised funds for the school.
We had a lucky draw.. the prize was a Ford Prefect.. sponsored by the car company.
The tickets...I quote him say "and they sold like hot cakes"
Those days, the Brothers carry canes and whips. Nowadays, discipline teachers carry cigarettes.... very tempting... must be the carrot and the stick thing eh?

50 years later..We are facing many obstacles including disciplinary and financial.. and yet, many of us seem to be in the comfort zone still. But you cant say we didn't do anything... too many having the common civil servant mentality with only futile gestures.

Golden Jubilee

We will be celebrating our Golden Jubilee this Saturday 10th January 2009 in school.
I hope our old boys and girls will be there to support. Kindly pass the word around.

Cheers.
