The farewell had to take place in the house of our classmate whom his father had a bungalow which had a wide place for us to prepare for the party.That house decorated with strips of multi-coloured paper, balloons and fancy lights. The seats were arranged in a semi-circle. There were chairs for teachers and other inmates of the school.In the beginning, there was the ceremony of lighting the lamp which was inaugurated by the Principal of our school. This was followed by the students of the 7th class lighting their candles from the big lamp. Then came the students of the 6th class hosting the party in our honour. It included mouthwatering, tasty dishes and drinks. After the party, programmes of entertainment were put up for our amusement and recreation by the hosting party.There were the items of balloon- breaking with a foot, eating buns hanging down a string, musical chair, and mimicry and conferring the titles on all.Finally, we were asked to take over the charge of the stage and present our items. While our programmes were going on, dainty dishes, containing potato chips, pastry, samosas and rasgullas were served to all those who were present.
Along with these delicacies, coffee was also served. Some of the students had left the merry-making to collect autographs of their beloved teachers.The Principal and teachers delivered speeches in English and Malay. Finally, they all wished us a brilliant success, not only in the forthcoming examination but in actual life also.
Then we had a joint photograph. Side by side, we spent sometime gossiping in groups with friends. This continued till it was the time for the party to break. And by and by, all of us returned home with a sad heart and a lot of memories of our formative years in the school.
