'I have a dream' On 28 August, 1963, Martin Luther King delivered his magnificent "I have a dream speech" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Below is the full text of his speech. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic

The Day Senior ‘Terror’ let Odadees down The mid 1970s saw an influx of Chinese movies which produced an intense interest by the youth in martial arts like Karate, Taekwondo and Shotokan  as primarily, a from a self defense and as a sport. Those were the days of films like Na Cha The Great; Exit the Dragon, Enter the Tiger; Five Shaolin Masters and&

Dark, dense and ominous cumulonimbus clouds gathered over Presec that Fall term morning in 1979. It did not produce the usual associated thunderstorms but it did provide great comic relief that lasted over weeks. An Odadee feeling horny, abandoned his Presbyterian morality lessons, threw caution to the wind and had an amorous one night stand with a female relative of a tutor making her

Undoubtedly, ‘mapkor’[Gari& beans] and Red Red[ Fried ripe plantain & beans] are the celebrated Presec meals of all time. Closely behind these meals in the mid 1970s was chicken groundnut soup with yams; a delicacy served on Sunday afternoons and a seemingly consolation meal for those of us who rarely received ‘homemade’ from visitors. Something was definitely amiss that

Below is a recap and some lessons learned from the recent successful Peprah NSMQ Room Project The idea for the project was mooted by a few willing and able Odadee who affirmed and decided to recognize the peerless efforts of Mr Peprah(Chemistry teacher) to PRESEC.  After almost 4 decades of service, Mr Peprah has been responsible for the success of numerous doctors, engineers,

2nd October 1968.  Finally the day had arrived, the long awaited move to a new campus after 30 years in Krobo Odumasi. It was a Wednesday, which traditionally was not the preferred day of the week on which schools reopened.

It was the second of October 1976. As freshmen, we were scared to death as the event was over-hyped and likened to running the marathon. We were advised to sleep with our running gear on and to sprint out of bed when the bell rang at dawn for the commencement of the 5-mile keep fit exercise towards Kwabenya. The threats of roll call and punishment for those who failed to turn out
