“Yesterday was a great day, we have already 5 gold medals and two bronze medals; you guys did exceptionally well”. The sports master applauded the team very early Friday morning. “I never expected such an outstanding outing, am still startled by the performances, I must ensure the full reward gets to all”. “Our darling supporters, you all are superb, we showed them pepper; those sounds were sounds of victory, almost the whole students now want to be our student”. All of them snickered. For a few minutes, some of them were using slang that signifies joy and excitement. “We will put in more; you all know we need to win more; it will go a long way to put more fear in the hearts of the opponent more importantly as the main game of seminary schools approaches”. The sportsman continued. tongue“We have the 200 meters hit, we have 400 meters, we have table tennis, we have badminton and volleyball". “We didn't do satisfactorily in the long jump; we hope to improve before the next games”
The students were to return to school on Saturday the day after the return of the champions from the inter-convent games. However, before the return of the boys to the school, the sports master had already put a call across to the principal on the importance of having a delicious dinner with the 30-man squad. The principal didn't think it twice as he did the needful. He agreed on a two-day dinner. Two goats were slaughtered for the reception of the champions. The boys returned to the empty school environment with songs of victory, hitting sounds and drums with their band sets and any available container. The community men and women were very happy to see the trophies being displayed from the side glasses of the bus. From the sound of victory, they were convinced that this one must have ended extraordinarily. It was already 7 pm when they arrived, the boys took time dancing around the frontier end of the principal's house. The teachers joined in the dance until the principal came o
Early Saturday morning, the functionaries who were not partakers of the just concluded convent games returned to school. They had a brief meeting with the principal as usual and received the marching orders for the remaining weeks of the term. “This is the last phase; within three weeks, none of you will remain in any functional office”. The principal began his speech.“I strongly demand the best as you have always been giving, I demand the very best; knowing fully that the end of every life activity justifies the beginning”. “You all were chosen because we saw some qualities needed for a better state of the citadel and these last week's, we also demand to see the very best”. He continued.“By the next two weeks, the board will be expecting your suggestions of students in senior secondary school who you think will succeed you in your offices; this is very important for us as we continue in the transformation of this seminary”. The principal summarized. “Hope we will succeed with th
“We have just five days to summarize our plan, we have gotten the contributions from all the interested guys, but we need one more guy to complete the transport money”. Terry said to the guys after a class test. “I have been observing some changes in Shops these days, in as much as he still thinks about Victoria, I have also noticed that he is always happy while on-call these days; am I the only one suspecting something?“. Edam said to the boys.“I noticed the same too; I overheard him calling someone's baby girl on the phone and these days his calls are longer than they used to be those past weeks”. A boy responded.“Am suggesting we give him a try again, Edam you will do the work for us, inform him that we are not just going there once and for all, we are hoping to build a unified brotherhood here and it will go a long way to help us all”. Terry told Edam. “I will speak with him immediately after school or maybe at night too”. Edam assured them. **** Daniel had also noticed many
“Tomorrow we will embark on the journey, is there anyone still not sure of his availability; anyone not fully convinced of going this lane with us?“. Terry asked the boys on the night before the journey. “Everybody is going, we are all set”. Edam quickly replied to ensure none reconsiders. “Okay, guys, so this is our plan now”. Terry said, opening a drawn map. “We are moving through the bag gate, once it is noon, none should come out with any of the uniforms, we must at least put on neutral trousers and a polo, that's the least”. “So, after we leave the school compound, the bus will be at the junction, we will be entering the bus two by two so that the villagers won't ever think we are students but normal passengers; if you have a face cap please put it on”. “All must be smart to avoid any casualty; if you are caught, you are on your own and must not call nor mention any name of another culprit”. Terry muttered. He called on Edam to finish up with plan B, which is the plan for i
The boys after the morning prayers were already washing up. The junior boys and the senior boys were involved in all manner of clean-ups. The functionaries were fully involved knowing fully it was one of their last assignments. However, Shola and his men were already on the move to go for the visiting day of the convent girls. Their plan remains at 1 pm to make the move. They were also involved in the cleaning up and it was Shola who took the junior students to the principal's house for proper cleaning of the house and environment. The principal was excited to behold his dedication and leadership. On the other hand, Terry also took some boys to the chaplain quarter for clean-up too. After the clean-up, a football match between the junior best time and ss1 boys was held. All the boys were all out to witness the biggest march before the seminary games. The junior team coaches were present to witness how their boys will play against the mid-senior team. It was at this time, that signale
Preparations for the inter-seminary games became more consistent than in the other weeks. The minor games preparation had been ongoing for weeks but this week, it will be fully for all the games, mainly outdoor games, and a few indoor games. The principal had directed the chaplain to find a space of about 30 minutes to talk to the students this morning in line with the preparations and requirements. Immediately after the morning assembly, the principal mounted the stage for his speech.“Good morning students!”. He exclaimed.“Good morning Sir”. Thststudent'sChorused. “How has everything been with you all? Especially the minor preparations for the games?“. He asked the students.“Very fine sir”. They chorused again. Both those who are involved and those not involved answered. “I am here to inform you that the games have been shifted to two weeks after the exam; the shift implies that the students who will be involved in the games, won't travel for the long vacation, and all will be
Days after the senior students of the exam class had their meeting, the new functionaries emerged. Daniel was given the post of deputy head boy. The students were extremely happy when he was mentioned as the deputy head boy. For the first time in the history of the school, a student who didn't start from scratch takes that critical position. The teachers who voted for the positions with the functionaries emeritus were also happy. Although the senior boys of the exam class knew they entered a big soup when he was selected, they were still happy with him. At the chapel hall, on this day of handing over of the positions with the files, the whole board of management was available for the great event. The new functionaries have dressed neatly as never before while the old ones aside from the head boy and his deputy were dressed as they wanted. Although not too bad but not as they ought to be. The new boy gave his speech much to the excitement of the boys. His words were as sound as that
