RAG DAY PUFF!...... CULTURAL DAY PREPARATION



Today was awesome as students of the Port Harcourt Polytechnic all went out for their rag day as it is a custom done every year during the student week. They went to different places such as oil mill, igwuruta, Agip, Government house in town, iloabuchi and even to different villages in Rivers state even to the extent of crossing water to waterside villages. After retiring to school, there was picnics on the school pitch in which songs were slammed and students danced away their tiredness. Till late in the evening, song was still playing which got students dancing and forgetting their home.
Even with all the stress of today, the Calabari’s still made time for rehearsals and gyration for the preparation of tomorrow’s cultural day. As normal, there are still security agents in school as we speak now. Arrangements of canopy are in progress on the school pitch and the S.U.G excos are sighted on campus getting things right for the success of tomorrow.

OLD SKOOL DAY..... AFTER PARTY

By Asiwaju Michael A.  In slang, old school (or old skool ) can refer to anything that is from an earlier era or anything that may be considered old-fashioned . The term is commonly used to suggest a high regard for something that has been shown to have lasting value or quality.   An after party would be held today in which girls get free ticket and boys pays N500 as gate fee. For you that do not know how old skool came into the broad light, i have compiled some history for you to read. THE ORIGINS The Old Skool debuted in 1977 as the so-called "Style 36", and showcased the now iconic Vans sidestripe. A new low-top style as Vans' first skate shoe that incorporated leather panels, the company that had been founded as the Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim in 1966 had a new classic silhouette on its hands. What started as a random doodle by Paul Van Doren was originally referred to as the "jazz stripe", and over 35 years in the making, the sidestrip...

Exams are going on very well and students are advised against every form of malpractice even as some were still caught in the act and the school has taken punishment measures on the culprit.
