Dear Friends,
As for the last few weeks, every fourth, one new O.A.S.I.S.
So here is Bull No.6, May 1983, by Arthur Knaggs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Beloved:
I have been asked once more on how we arrived at our title and it is quite simple “Overseas Abbey School Interested Students”. So as you roam through the deserts of life looking for the Fountain of Youth – look to your buddies as a source of information and knowledge, and treasure those precious years at our “Alma Mater”.

Thought of the month: A smart man can work his way out of a difficulty that a wise man would not get into in the first place.

Here is some news from DAVID DE CASTRO, who lives in
His inclusion on our mailing list brought back fond memories of his years at Mount, and he shares deep feelings with all his “compadres”.
He has been in touch with ADRIAN ACHE,
David has 4 girls and 2 boys, all doing extremely well at school and work. Cassandra, who graduated this year has got an Honour Award, (one of 27 out of 3.000 students). He sends a Christmas letter out each year.
Dave also suggests we revive some old jokes and funny situations for the publication – so send them in.

Fr. Cuthbert has written with some news about the Scouts.
They have now 7 boys in a Venture group and 14 new boys joined the group in November. Brother Francis runs the Scout group and Bernard Lange rules the Ventures.
He also tells me that Russell Cunha is P.R. for a “Jolly Roger” cruise (like

Will Carter (once a Scout always a Scout) and Kitty Marcus (Girl Friday) are retired in St. Peter’s home (North of the Sports field – I guess, near the Motherhouse.)

CHAIRMAN´S MESSAGE (Phillip Nassief)
As we approach the end of the year, we must pause to take stock of our performance over the last twelve months.
In doing so we must be honest and analytical in order to asses accurately our achievements and our shortfalls. We must apply the principles of credit and debit both to the Company and to ourselves.
We must ask ourselves what I have done for the company over the past year to increase productivity and skills, to improve working relationships and attitude to work, to prevent unfair and unsafe practices?. Have I really helped Management in carrying out their objectives and archiving their targets? These are some of the questions which will help us asses our achievements and identify our shortfalls.
At the end of this exercise, we can then make our resolutions for the New Year and plan an implementation strategy for the new challenge ahead.
The New Year may present some problems because of the marketing difficulties which we are experiencing. It is not only difficult to obtain licences, but it is even more difficult to obtain payment for products supplied. The severe economic problems, particularly in our major markets, will make 1983 a difficult year for the Company.
DCP has had yet another year of success. I thank all of you at DCP for helping us achieve another year of success. I must thank in particular, the Management team for their hard work, commitment and loyalty in steering DCP through this difficult year.
On behalf of the Boars of Directors and myself, I extend best wishes to all at DCP – the workers – and all of DCP – the shareholders – for a joyful Christmas season and a New Year of happiness, health and success.

So until Bull No. 7
