IBRAHIM SCHOOL FIRST SPEECH-DAY AFTER THE 2ND WORLD WAR

FIRST SPEECH-DAY AFTER THE WAR
In the year 1946 the lst speech day after the war was held .The school report was read by the headmaster then Mr.J.F.Augustin . I am happy to publish a part of his speech regarding the lst headmaster of the school, Mr. Syed Jan .

The occassion was out in the daily press then 'The Straits Echo'.

MR.SYED JAN

'This report would be incomplete without a reference to Mr.Syed Jan,the school's first headmaster. Appointed by the then Suprintendent of Education, the late Mr.E.A.G.Stuart , when the school was opened in 1918 . Mr.Syed Jan was Headmaster until Febuary this year (1945)."

"Excluding the period of the Jap incubus he was therefore incharge of the school for approximately 25 years . During this time he tended the school with efficiency and zeal ......saw it grow from a seedling to the sturdy sapling which is now is . His name will always be associated with the school and we wish him many happy years of the retirement which he has so well earned. "
