Vitaï Lampada - Poem by Sir Henry Newbolt

As I start to think about our school days many memories float by and some linger longer. One of them I still remember is the poem Mr. Suntharalingam made us learn by repeating for hundreds of time... There's a breathless hush in the close to-night Ten to make and the match to win A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play, and the last man in. And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat. Or the selfish hope of a season's fame, But his captain's hand on his shoulder smote "Play up! Play up! And play the game!" From  Lingan Nathan

Yanna Yanna

We all know Mr Deraniyagala who was our Gr 8 group leader; once we got caught to him while roaming around the canteen area during class time and all what we had to say to him in English was ‘come sir, go sir, class room sir, going sir’ and he says in Sinhalese ‘yanna, yanna’ and sends us off; poor man doesn’t understand English at all From Suthaharan
