The 1975 year group of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School, Legon (Ɔdadeɛ), has officially launched its 50th anniversary celebration.
The year-long activities, set to run from February to November, include a health walk and screening, a family fun day with games, an anniversary thanksgiving service, and the launch of an endowment fund to support their alma mater.
As part of the celebration, the group will embark on a pilgrimage to Krobo Odumase, the school’s former location, plant Baobab trees on the Legon campus, and visit ailing colleagues.
The highlight of the anniversary will feature a Health Walk and Screening on Friday, October 31, followed by a Family Fun Day with games on Saturday, November 1. The festivities will conclude with a Thanksgiving Service and the launch of the Endowment Fund on Sunday, November 2.
Group President Alex Yayra Fiagome emphasized the historical significance of their cohort, noting they were the third batch of students to be admitted to the Legon campus after the school relocated from Odumase-Krobo in 1968.
Out of the 155 students who graduated in 1975, 94 are confirmed to be alive, 29 have passed on, and 22 remain untraceable.
Describing their experience at Presec, Mr. Fiagome fondly recalled the campus as “new and pristine, with well-manicured lawns and paved walkways that created a welcoming and calming effect.” He added that beyond the aesthetics, students were molded by the rigorous Presbyterian discipline instilled in them.
Encouraging his colleagues to actively participate in the anniversary celebrations, Mr. Fiagome stressed the importance of rekindling bonds and cherishing shared memories.
“Our twilight years call for stronger bonds and fellowship. Let the memories and smiles shared during this anniversary year remain with us for as long as we live,” he said.
