I join with all my fellow Mausica graduates of 65-67 year group to celebrate fifty-two years of becoming graduate teachers on July 29th
The significance of this day is never forgotten although we are now retirees. My experience at Mausica will always be cherished .Teaching Practice , Initiation when the girls were targeted by second year males to serve them breakfast and lunch. The assembly performances, Harry Joseph ringing the bell for the ladies to hurry to the parties so he could dance. The girls running to hide in the washroom to escape dancing with him, The long nights of recording for our first album, The choir's long journeys to remote country areas to perform and the singimg in the bus everytime. The Inter hostel sports with CarverScobie starring in a clip showing his marching skills which was repeatedly played to the laughter of those looking on, the Carnival competitions ,the calypsoes like Tootoowa amd Modern maths. the choir's command performance for Dr Eric Williams and Kenneth Kaunda ,Prime Minister of Zambia , Our winning the Champion Folk song Choir Trophy at Music Festival,the lecturers, Mr Hamlyn Dukhan and Joseph Mangatal , The Warden, Mrs Cuffie and Connie Roopchand. Remember Matron and the locusts? How about Mr John Estok the Canadian lecturer dancing in a line across the room with his wife? Our exposure to the arts , Miriam Makeba , the African Ballet and others whose names I cant recall. And most importantly, the long lasting relatioships developed with our fellow students as colleagues, friends, husbands and wives, And I could go on and on. Yes Mausica truly impacted our lives richly and unforgettably with experiences
we were able to pass on in some way to our children and students. I'm proud to have been a part of that era.
