The Old Boys Association
PBHS has a vast and active network of Old Boys, forming one of the largest alumni organisations in South Africa. The Association publishes an annual journal and review, The Phobian, which is distributed to Old Boys across the globe. Members of the Association meet annually at the School for the Annual Dinner, and regular reunions of each matriculating group are organised 10, 20, 30 and 40 years on (echoing the refrain of the School song, "Forty Years On.")

Famous quotes containing the words boys and/or association:
“Here in the country it is only a few idle boys or loafers that go a-fishing on a rainy day; but there it appeared as if every able-bodied man and helpful boy in the Bay had gone out on a pleasure excursion in their yachts, and all would at last land and have a chowder on the Cape.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
