1958

The SAS Eagles were born when students voted on the team name in 1958-59. That year, the school's first varsity team took the field in fast-pitch softball. The Eagles played as the Diamonds in the Singapore Softball Association under the sponsorship of Goodyear, because the school did not have a budget for extracurricular sports. And to call it a varsity team was a stretch, as it contained seventh and eighth graders.

Until the 1970s, music at the high school was extracurricular. Vocal music had been limited to the Glee Club, which was viewed as a female activity, and there were occasional attempts at rock and roll and school bands.

1956

The King's Road campus held so many memories for me that it is still painful to reflect on its passing. I'm like the guy in the TV ad who visits his childhood home and finds a ragged shuttlecock that brings back thoughts of his youth. For me, every hallway and every corner of that campus echoed with memories.

My father served with the US Air Force in England during World War II and became a US citizen. He moved to Singapore in 1947, where he met and married my mother. He was a well-known figure in the small American community, owned a popular service station on Holland Road, and was a founding member of the American Club.

1983

Singapore American School has been a part of my family for almost 30 years. When my parents moved our family to Singapore in 1983 and enrolled my siblings—Kimberly Rameker Hurst ('94) and Victor Rameker ('97)—and me in SAS, we did not expect to still be chanting, "Go Eagles!" nearly three decades later.

On January 3, 1956, in a ceremony held at 15 Rochalie Drive, Singapore's Governor, His Excellency Sir Robert Black, officially declared the school open, pulling the draw string to unveil the dedication plaque which still hangs today at the school's Woodlands campus.
