    About this ebook

    Sarah, Victor and Charles gained admission into Claymount University.  Despite the pieces of advice that they received from Sarah's grandfather who is an alumnus of Claymount, Charles joined the DrinkHards Confraternity and almost lost his life and lost his aspirations of ever becoming a medical doctor. Victor and Sarah were members of the Freeworkers Club and excelled in life. What was the fate of the other students they met? The Ivory Towers tells it all.

      Joan Bakewell: ‘I Did Enjoy The 1960s Very Much’

      Mar 4, 2023

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      CHAPTER ONE

      The cool early morning breeze was rather chilly. Victor had said his prayers, brushed his teeth, rinsed his face and picked up his machete. He usually woke up around the same time every morning – 5:30 am. It had become part of him over time.

      Victor, what’s up? the rather excited voice of his friend, Charles rang out.

      My man, I hail you. Victor replied amusedly.

      Charles was his childhood friend, they had done practically everything – childhood pranks, moonlight games, fishing, Boys’ Scouts, name it, together.

      They left for their usual firewood fetching from the nearby bushes. Nature was offering her best that morning – the cool breeze, the quiet innocence of the new dawn unfolding the beautiful faces of the diverse trees and flowers, the rather too playful squirrels jumping from tree to tree chatting heartily away in their little gossips, it was really a sweet morning.

      So how are you preparing for tomorrow? Victor asked.

      I can’t wait for the break of day. I can’t wait to taste the good life – university undergraduate, clean, good and well-presented clothes, good command of English language, with all the girls vying for me.

      Hahaha! You think you can make that in a day? It takes effort – real, determined, consistent and dynamic effort, it is a way of life. Victor admonished.

      I know! Charles shot a surprised look at his friend and elegantly continued. My brother, the university is one of the best places to be. The universal nature of the whole experience is really awesome. Characters are built, habits formed, sophisticated friends made...

      Sophisticated friends made? Victor interrupted rather rudely. Are you still interested in the cults?

      "Me? yes of
