Paul Roos se heel eerste hoofseun
In Memoriam
Wouter Jordaan (klas van 1952), ook bekend as Tampan Jordaan, volle name Wouter Hugo Naudé Jordaan (die bekende skilder Hugo Naudé was sy ma se oom) is op Saterdag 3 Junie oorlede. Hy was die skool se eerste hoofseun, ′n instelling begin deur sy destydse rektor AK de Jager in 1952, wat toe ook die eerste leerlingraad laat verkies het. Hier is ′n uittreksel uit ′n artikel deur Nic de Jager in die OSU-nuusbrief van Augustus 2011 oor hom na aanleiding van ′n besoek aan die skool toe sy jonger broer, Pieter (Klein Tampan) oorlede is, self ′n bekende oud-rugbyspeler en Matie-kaptein.
