1978
When Asian Civilisations Museum curator Mr. David Henkel was still a student at Singapore American School, he would attend Sunday school at Wesley Methodist Church. He would sometimes sneak out of the church to visit the nearby National Museum of Singapore, never imagining that he would one day become the curator for Southeast Asia, overseeing some of the collections displayed there that belong to the National Heritage Board.

1973
Search the online archives of PublicationSG of the National Library Board (Singapore), and you'll find the eight known publications by the "Singapore American School Literary Society." By law, all such works had to be registered and a sample copy placed on file in the official state library. And if you were to unearth the entries under MC (P) 1449/74, you'd deduce that between December 1973 and May 1975 on the campus of Singapore American School, a science teacher was actually a pun-spouting supervillain, the physical education coach had supernatural powers to fight demonic laziness, and that the quiet algebra teacher was really a world-class secret agent.
