As Ogbomoso High School Old Students Association celebrates school’s 60th anniversary

Fatai ADEWUYI

Among the first generation secondary schools in Ogbomoso are the trio of Ogbomoso Grammar School, Ogbomoso Girls High School and Ogbomoso High School.

That Ogbomoso High School has clocked 60 years is no mean achievement and for that it is worthy of celebrating. Am making this piece as an old student (’78 set) and as a member of the media for the anniversary. Though wider publicity might have been given to the anniversary both in the print and electronic media, yet I wish to use this online paper too, The Insight, to sensitize the old students on the need to turn out in large numbers for today’s (December 13) event, being the grand finale where we are to felicitate together to mark our alma mater which is 60 years old.

The occasion calls for joy and sober reflections. Joy as we will have opportunity of meeting classmates we have not met since we left school, and we will have sober reflection as some classmates have died whom we shall never meet again. And I charge us to consider assisting some who might not be enjoying good health, that need our assistance. For these reasons and many more our attentions are seriously needed regarding vital discussions that wil uplift our school to greater heights and improved standard of living of individual members.
