| A Big HELLO to all... |
| ..to a new format, new styling, hopefully easier on our tired eyes and minds, tired from information overload in this instant world today. |

| Long Life and Good Health... |
| ...what is the secret? At the last VIOBA dinner, the oldest Victorians present were two gentlemen from the class of 1926. Huh? Did I say 1926? That was before the Second World War, come to think of it. Let me put our 1974 year in perspective. |
|
|
|

|
|
| If we were to go back to VI now, and go into the library, meet a scout, a bandboy, or why not a sweet young Form Six VI girl now, in year 2000, tell them we are from the class of 1974, what would this mean to them? |
| It's only 26 years ago, after all. Well ok, before they were born, we could be their father, etc. That does not really put it into perspective, I think. |
|
| A better way to look at it is perhaps imagine we are back in school in 1974. Someone then comes along and tells us he was from the class of 1948. Huh?? 1948! Boy, that's old! I mean, not even the 60's, or 50's - the 40's!! See what I mean? haha. |
|
| But I digress. The gentleman who spoke at the dinner in a firm voice and showing clear thoughts is the gentleman who each year unfailingly runs the 100 metres against present boys in the Annual Sports Day. Remember him? No wonder he is 90 and giving a speech at the VIOBA dinner! |
|
| So what's the secret? Besides running the 100 metres every year, Jack LaLanne, who is 90 now, advises that he only eats natural grown food - no man made food or food in which there are man made ingredients. |
|
| Does he have the credentials to give this advice? Well, he only swam across to Alcatraz island with his hands handcuffed when he was 60. 60!! Shame on those of us who think we are old already! He also invented the gym when there was none in those days. |
|
| How about a piece of advice from Art Linkletter? He is now 90, wears no glasses and no false teeth. He works from 10 am to 3pm, goes home and swims 25 laps. Everyday. The most important advice he can give is, he says, he is married. Survey after survey, he says, shows that married men live happier and longer than unmarried men. So all you married men out there, stay married if you want to live better and longer, though it may not seem that way at times! haha.... and all you yet to be married, get hitched soon to live happier and longer. |
|
| Anyway, Art Linkletter did say he has stayed married to the same girl all these years, and she lets him out every Wednesday. Oh oh. |
| Everything comes with a price, I guess. |
|
| What about the girls? Well, survey after survey also shows that girls naturally somehow outlives men. So either be a girl, or if you can't, remain a man, eat only naturally grown food, get and stay married. That's all. No fancy diet needed. |
