Top 10 Traditions Likely to be Copied by OWASS
OWASS' Prefects just started wearing the same
thing Prempeh prefects wear. OWASS' prefects
now put on badges. At first they never had it
until Mr. Anokye went there. They wore only
trouser to differentiate the prefects from
the other students unlike Prempeh. Now all
form threes put on trousers with the prefects
putting on the badge like Prempeh. What Prempeh tradition will be the next to be stolen?
Only time will tell. But we asked Amanfoo around the universities campuses (especially at the recent Amanadehyee Congress)
for their list of the traditions most likely to be adopted by OWAREANS. The following is the list
of the ten most popular responses:
10. To turn a new leaf and thereby go for 55 years without being banned from Sports
just as Prempeh achieved from 1949-2004. Though they weren't banned from sports this decade,
their murderous cadet corps were banned from the Stadium for a period of 5 years
for beating to death an innocent person. Not only did they murder the poor victim, they
subjected him to an unendurable pain, which is surprising that they were reinstated so soon.
If they can murder as 16-year olds, is it at all surprising when they inflict the most
terrible of all tortures as adults?
9. To stop pouncing on females at the Sports Stadium and treat their ladies - Saint Louis Girls - for the first time, like ladies, just as Prempeh boys
value the Royal Yaa Asantewaa Girls and treat them tenderly.
8. Establish a stronger alliance with St. Louis Girls and call
themselves "The Catholic Pair" because they have realised that
the Prempeh - Yaa Asantewaa "Royal Pair" alliance is indissoluble.
7. Build a wall around their school and design their gate in the shape of a Cross because
Prempeh has its entrance shaped like a royal Stool.
6. Build a new house and name it after a Saint because the Royal Boys School in Sofoline recently
opened a new house which is named for a King.
In addition, they will invite His Holiness the Pope to visit the school yearly because His Majesty the
King visits Prempeh every year.
5. Strive to win the "Most Disciplined School" award at the annual Inter-Schools & Collegeiate athletics
festival at the Kumasi Sports Stadium - which they will win when hell freezes over - because Prempeh wins it annually!
4. Invent something for the first time because - in the words of Prempeh's Senior Prefect Gyabaah V.Y. - "Prempeh is always the first to invent."
3. Hold a graduation ceremony for their final year class because Prempeh introduced that system (at the secondary level)
for the first time in the nation last year.
2. Lay concrete steps that will enhance their image and bring them the status of a first class school,
so that their name could be recognised by people outside
of Kumasi, instead of hearing an inquisition of the "Opoku who?" variety whenever
their name is mentioned outside of Kumasi. This is critical because Prempeh - The Golden School of the Ashantis - is famous worldwide!
1. Build a Heroes Corner on their campus, just as Prempeh has
constructed one on its campus, which they will dedicate to
their most distinguished old boys: the accused murderers in the
National Reconciliation proceedings. Kangaroo courts and all.
Prempeh College's Heroes Corner. Will OWASS create the same?
