This past Saturday turned out to be one of the days that the current crop of
students at the Sofoline University will forever cherish.
It will surely be
engraved on their minds since it was a day that saw the actual sense of the
word entertainment.
Indeed prempeh.org in collaboration
with the prefectorial board has made Saturday nights now blissful at
Sofoline. Gone are those days that people chose to watch only movies at
entertainment and neglected the remaining activities because the event that
was to be entertaining was rather boring.
It therefore came to a time during
the reign of Senior Kwadwo Konadu where entertainment was not
compulsory. Students therefore chose to do what they cherished on saturday
nights. This therefore compelled the various house prefects to use some part
of the house funds to purchase DVD players for their houses so they could
watch on Saturdays and not go to the assembly hall.
Now, the Ampong-led administration upon coming into office sat down with
the entertainment committee headed by Mr. Quayson, popularly known as M'anomaa,
and prempeh.org to devise ways and means of making
entertainment the event to be present at on Saturdays.
Pearson's Augustine Boakye, a form one boy who made a lot of noise in the school
about his physical features but could not win the ultimate prize. Better luck to
him next year.
The eating competition
was then introduced which was very successful and just last saturday,the
prempeh.org manhunt. It is hoped that
prempeh.org will do more for the school so
the students can continue to enjoy
entertainment.
At around 6:30pm, the administration was packed. This time it was not a morning
assembly or emergency roll call but rather an entertainment.
The Osae
Assembly hall is undergoing renovation so could not be used. Therefore the
assembly grounds and the dining hall have been the places of entertainment
nowadays. Students were ready to have a look at the contestants who were all
eager to be called Mr. Prempeh. Indeed, these students
had trained very well for the occasion knowing very well that winning the Mr.
Prempeh award could serve as an opening door to them getting a fine lady
from YAGSS.
After the strenuous and critical selection of the
contestants, nine students made it to compete for the
ultimate. The competition therefore started with some performances from
some of the finest
rappers on campus. The guest artist who was invited and paid for by
prempeh.org came all the way from KNUST. He is a third
year student at the Institute of Renewable and Natural Resources. He is yet
to come out with an album and surprisingly is an Okatakyie. He came to perform
on stage.
After the performance, it was time for the contestants to appear on
stage and show what they have. They all went through some questioning and
also exhibited their individual talents on stage. After a keenly contested
competition, Mensah Debrah who was the tip of virtually everyone fumbled
while answering a question dropping some of the points that he had accrued
from the judges.
In the end, Prince Adu Amakwah of Ramseyer took the first position. It would
be recalled that, there was a prediction on the site as to the house that
could win since Ramseyer house had the best of muscular and romantic men
this year. The First House finally gave us the first Mr. Prempeh winner.
First runner up Senior Mensah Debrah of Aggrey House.
Mensah Debrah of Aggrey house came in second, followed by
Raymond Appiah of Guggisberg house.
The ceremony was well organised
with a nice prempeh.org banner adorning the place.
Prempeh.org gave them the prizes and also the first
three winners will have the privilege of dining with the senior prefects at
the high table.
But the best part of Adu Amankwah's reign as Mr. Prempeh 2005/06 will come when
we introduce him next term at the Annual Inter-Colleges & Super Zonals Athletics
Competition
at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, so all the ladies can see who exemplifies the typical
Prempeh student.
