Before that, however, were performances from King Promise, Amerado and Eno Barony and a host of up-and-coming acts to keep the crowd buzzing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>As has become tradition, former Presec students on the music scene also made cameos, including Tulenkey and DeeJay.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>It was not just about the party, however, as the 2012 and 2013 year groups of the school were inducted into the \u0186dade\u025b fraternity, symbolising their official transition into the old boys association.<\/p>\n<p>The presidents of the two year groups pledged to uphold the tenets of the fraternity and to contribute their quota toward the school, as the forebears have.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>In attendance were old students from as far back as 1968, including Supreme Court judge Nene Abayateye Ofoe Amegatcher, who was part of the first group of students to move from Presec\u2019s first home at Odumase Krobo to the current Legon campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important for the newly inducted year groups to know what stock of people they come from, to feel proud of who we are, and to do more to better the lot of school and its image than those who came before them,\u201d Justice Amegatcher admonished.<\/p>\n<p>Also present were executives of \u0186dade\u025b Global, led by its President, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong and his vice, Patricia Obo-Nai.<\/p>\n<p>They had earlier led a symbolic torch procession from the school gate, through the main street of the campus, amidst jama and dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The event was broadcast live on Joy FM and had DJ Black in charge of\u00a0the\u00a0turntables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old students of the Presbyterian Boys\u2019 Senior High School held an electrifying bonfire night on Friday, April 21, 2023, to mark the event\u2019s return.
