John, whose real name was William Henry, was born on September 26, 1930 and attended SAC from 1938 to 1947. He was a Corinthian and his nickname “Sunshine” was because he was constantly smiling. Kenneth Bridger , on July 20, 2004 in Valencia, Spain. Kenneth was born on May 10, 1920 and attended SAC from 1926 to 1936. He was a keen sportsman who defended the Corinth colours while at school.

Alfred Colin Brown Roberts , on July 23, 2004 in Temperley. Colin was born on March 18, 1929. He attended SAC from 1938 to 1945. He was also a Corinthian who excelled at cricket and continued playing the game after school for Lomas AC. He was father of three OPs, Michael, Alan and John Gavin. All three will be sadly missed.

Centenary Campaign We wish to thank Jorge Boria (class of 1964), who lives in Texas, USA and Robert Tozer (class of 1970), living in Kingston-on-Thames, England, for their handsome contributions to the Centenary Fund. As was mentioned in the previous SACNET we are ready to accomplish first stage of our building targets, the new classroom in the Kindergarten, and now we aim at the more ambitious stage 2: the roofing and enclosure of the Basket-ball Court. We are very confident that we shall achieve this in record time.
