Lagu Soraksokong Pasukan Rugbi 1958

Kami menyanyi sbg cheergang lagu tsb di bawah ketuaan sang Prefect bernama Suhaimi b Kamaruddin. Kami bergerak sekelompok dari tempat ke tempat termasuk barisan yg dihurungi pihak penyorak lawan. Jadi kalu sampai ke garisan Kelipod, kami kenalah tolak-menolak dan kekadang dia org sepak kami atawa bagi penumbuk kpd kami, kebanyakannya penuntut Forms 2 dan 3.
Bila keadaan meruncing, dua matsaleh yakni PG Haig dan NJ Ryan akan serbu kami dgn payung dan menggertak Idiots! Get Back to Your sideline of the Field. Kadang-kadang GB Kelipod iaitu Karam Singh pun datang kononnya untuk menyejukkan suasana di pihak sana. Sambil berlari ke garisan tepi Kolet kami akan jerit 'Bhhaaaaeeeee, janggut taruh Aaapiiiiii'
Siapa yg tak join kami memang tak tahu enjoy hidup di Kolet.

I attended an Octogenarian's anniversary celebration dinner at the Marriott on 22nd and met
Suhaimi Kamaruddin our Cheergang Leader of 1958. That Rugby song was sung for about
two years during the formative period of MCKK Rugby which started in 1956 during the furlough
of Headmaster JDR Howell who probably would not have allowed it being played. The first team tried
by Historymaster NJ Ryan in 1956 during the temporary tenure of Headmaster GHB Hughes, was
the Under-fifteen XV. It was so successful that the First XV was formed in the Merdeka year, which
was allowed by Howell when he returned from furlough owing to the Kolet super-success, beating
even the KEVII team that was the NorthMalaya School champions. Of course our Kolet bus became
the victim of much vandalism caused by the losing team's supporters.
When Suhaimi left no new Cheerleader was found and the Rugby song, despite being a very good
morale booster also disappeared.
Suhaimi Kamaruddin aka Suhaimi 'cengkurik' remembers vaguely the song but not the lyrics.
I do hope that the Kolet would be interested to revive it before even the few that know it disappear.
