From Left: Leonard Wryter (Canterbury, '96), Oswald Felli (Elliot, '96), Samuel Jacobs-Abbey (Jubilee, '96), Benard Afful (Canterbury, '97), Kwasi Agyeman Manu (Knight, '97) and Reynolds A. Tettey (Hamlyn, '97)

These guys were once boys from different backgrounds and all walks of life. But as they made their way to the School On A Hill, their lives were transformed. On the Hill, from East to West they shared one Chapel, they shared the same classroom blocks and they shared one dinning hall. They studied the same time (Prep), they slept the same time (Night out) and woke up the same time (Rising Bell). They took on responsibilities from Protocol Prefect, House Prefect to General Supervisor. Extra-curriculum activities were from Cadet, Drama Club, Writer and Debaters Club and Scripture Union.

Through their maturing from boys to men, they sang “Up Santaclausian” and “Adisadel On the Hill”, pledging their allegiance for the school's great name. All these made up their memories, but what the school gave them in return was the passion to strive to be the first or with the first. Thus striving for excellence in their respective lives and in any endeavors. They renewed their minds to accept that complacency, mediocrity and settling for what is less than your best is not an option.

You might not see yourself in this picture, but you know the memories the school gave you and how far the passion instilled in you has brought you success. This picture is not about the gentlemen, it is about the few, the proud and the Santaclausian. And above all the institution we so dearly cherish – ADISADEL COLLEGE; THE SCHOOL ON THE HILL.

Lastly, picture yourself in the dinning hall, looking at the high table with the prefects. And the prayer was said:

 “Come and dine with us O Lord”

and the whole family said “FIAT” in response.

Long Live Adisco; Long Live Santaclausians;

Happy One Hundred Years.

“Either the first or with the first”
