Ikechukwu Erumuwonu
: 1992
His name is translated as God's strength/power and that is exactly what he was and how he lived his life.  A powerful man in term of physical ability and will.  He was an example of what a student should be.  He was one of the best in every sport he played in.  He performed with extreme strength even when competing against younger one. He was academically gifted and acted in plays.  He came third place in Shot Put, he was the Labor Prefect, President of the Conservation Club, and acted in the "Wedlock of the Gods" in City Drama Contest.

Anthony Okaku: 1988
He was one of the best goalie UDSS ever produced in the game of soccer.  He was tall and steady as a rock.  He had this confidence about him that a lot of people classified as arrogant, but he was always calm and relaxed.

Uyi Efionayi: 1992
This was an era of strength and grace.  A powerful athlete by standard of the State.  She was number one for two to three years.  She was undisputed.  In fact, people went to see who was going to come second and third in her race and how far she was going to leave them behind.  She represented the school in State championships in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 * 100 meters relay. She was also the Assistant Games Prefect.

Adanna Onwuziligbo: 1993
This was the most under-estimated and the most under-appreciated athlete of our generation.  A beautiful, respectable, and polite young lady at the time. She was so small as an athlete that you might forget that she was standing there (please accept our belated apologies).  She represented the school as a junior at state levels in the 100 meters, 200 meters, 4 * 100 meter relay.  She was only second to Uyi Efionayi.

Ehiaze Kio: 1992
A peaceful and dedicated lady that made no trouble.  She was not really interested in sports but she gave her all in drama.  She usually played the role of a mother or elderly lady.  She was consistent.  You could always count on her to be there and she always would remember her lines.  She was a member of the conservation club that went to Warri to promote conservation of the environment through dance-drama and plays.

Loretta Eze:  1988
This was the queen of the track in her time.  Name it all.  100 meters, 200 meters, 4x100 meters relay.  She was number one.  She was beauty and speed. She  was admired by all, even by junior students of other houses.  Her trade mark was the distinctive waves on her hair.

Ini Akhonkhai: 1992
A multi-talented individual.  She was known as a leader and as an organizer.  She was not only academically inclined, she was also very good with musical instruments.  She played the flute (recorder) and the keyboard so well that she lead the organization of the team that went to Warri in preparation of the songs performed to promote the conservation of our environment.  She was a school Prefect and coordinated youth music in her church.

Osaze Ize-Iyamu: 1991
The crazy man of the track.  People run towards the finish line hoping to receive an award, he ran towards the same line as if fire was chasing him from behind.  When he ran, the women, even the female teachers would run away from the side line.  Usually, when a race is won, there is jubilation by all, but when he won, people first stopped to worry; it was only after people realized that it is the way he ran, that his house then rejoiced.  Jokes apart, he was a man of extreme speed and did everything physically possible to win each race.
