American Parties
In the 1950's the American Embassy began a tradition by arranging a Christmas treat for the younger boys. At first the boys were taken to an American Air Force base by coach for a slap-up do and entertainment.
In later years,when the upper age limit at the school was 13yrs, the parties were held at the school and enjoyed by all the boys with presents supplied by the Americans.
