Fund-raising - the bane of every Victorian. They have to raise $10 per head (most likely for microscopes for the Science Labs in those days) as commanded by a teacher looking not unlike the redoubtable Mr Lim Eng Thye. So our resourceful Victorians move in force into Chinatown, hawking, pedalling trishaws, giving haircuts and running a photo shop. Posters promise a concert back in the School Hall while the V.I cadets plan to strut their stuff at the Merdeka Stadium next door. (The Victorian, 1960) |
