June 1960 - A Glory Of The Coast - The Girls Go Gay

June 1960 - A Glory Of The Coast - The Girls Go Gay - Full of the joy of youth, the rhythm of the same dances their mothers do back home, the girls raise their cheery voices during the Founder's Day Celebrations. The white children join in the fun, and even if they don't know all the steps, they are happy to be part of the crowd. This picture shows also why so many boys never want to leave Achimota. About 40 years ago a man had a vision. He wanted West Africa to have a school comparable with the best in Britain. From that ideal has grown Achimota, pride of Ghana, glory of the coast to-day.
