ANNUAL REPORT—1968

Your Excellency, Rev. Fathers, Rev. Sisters, Ladies & Gentlemen,

The year 1968 is very significant for Loyola School, students is appearing in November for the L S. C. Examination conducted by the Cambridge University.

After six years of existence, moving from place to place, it has taken roots at Srcekariyam. A three storied building under the supervision of Engineer Mr. Thomas Panickar and Architect Mr. Jayachandran is nearing completion. The new building will house the office, various laboratories, library and several classes.

Staff:

The first batch of

This year we have few additions on the staff. Mrs. Elizabeth Mathew B. Sc., B. Ed. with her three years of experience at an I. S. C. School at Panchgani has joined the Chemistry Department, Mr. Geoffrey Doss B. A., B. T., formerly of the Mar Ivanios College, after his twenty years of experience as teacher and H. M. has joined our Biology Department Mr. P. G. Nair B. A , B. Ed., after his retirement in the Education Department has joined the stafT to strengthen the Malayalam Department. Our builder and Procurator, Fr. J. Vattakunnel has managed to find some time to teach Malayalam in the School. The new prefects Frs. Manipadam and John Kurien have taken the place of our old prefects Frs. Jose Mathew and K V. Thomas who have left us to continue their studies. Miss P. M. Aleykutty has taken the place of Miss Leelamma T. K. who has joined the staff of Alphonsa College, Palai. Mr. Mathew Trenchil with a degree from the United States has taken the place of Mr. Mathew Cherian.

Strength and Standard :

The strength of the School has gone up to 600. In June our XI Std. Boys ]V who pass the l. S. C. Examination will be eligible to join the degree courses of any University. For admission to the professional Colleges, however, our University insists on one year of institutional training in any one of the Predegree colleges.

Boarding House :

In the boarding house we have now 165 boys. Boys of Std. XI and X are for the time being put up in the rooms of the College Hostel. The others are divided into

1

t

:

8 houses. Small boys are entrusted to the care of matrons Mrs. Pereira and Mrs. Barri. The way in which even the smallest boys of the K. G. Class adopt themselves to the boarding life is wonderful. Within a few days of their admission, all their home-sick­ness vanish and they arc quite at home. We have added a merry-go-round to the already existing facilities for amusement.

The bigger boys are looked after by the ptefects, Frs. Manipadam and John Kurien. House Captains and their assistants help the prefects in their work. Every month the flag of honour is given to the house which comes first, in studies.

Spiritual Life :The formation of good character and the inculcation of a true sense of values

are essential to the development of an integrated personality and so we have always laid stress on religious and moral instruction. Apart from regular catechism classes for the Catholic boys, scripture classes are held for Christian boys by Fr. Rector and Fr. M. D. Varkey, Principal of the College. Fr. Manjil, the vocation director of the Kerala province visits us occasionally and gives talks and one day retreats.

i

.

Extra Curricular Activities :i

Youth Festival is now an annual feature. Solo singing, Group singing, Instrumental music, Recitation, Story telling, One-act-plays, Painting, Drawing, Elocu- ion, ec amation, Essay writing, Hand writing, Fancy dress, Mono-act are some of

e items in which the whole school participates for two complete days. Every class nas a Literary Association which meets every week.

E\ery class has excursions. Boys visit near and far off picnic spots and spend a ay out with the teachers. The School picnic this year was to Alleppey to see the Nehru ropy oat ace. Parents of our boys at Alleppey made our stay very enjoyable. In

the annual camp held at Pettah in which cadets from all the troops of the N. C. C. Airof ourSchool t0°k lhC bCSt Cadet aWard WaS glven 10 Mohan Chandra of Sld* X

installation ceremony this year, Rotary Club President Rtn. Kumar ar.d Rtn. Dr. Varma and Rtn. Bharathan spoke to them. Ten boys of our School went to Quilon to take part in the one day seminar of the Interact Club of the State. Renjan Kanti is the Secretary and George Zacharia is the President of the Club. They held a lucky dip and collected Rs. 325. With this they bought 55 books and presented to the School Library. Loyola Interact Club gives a Scholarship for the education of a poor boy. They have presented a foot-ball to the neighbouring students’ club. Prizes for the lucky dip costing about Rs. 200 were presented by the members of the Rotary Club. Our thanks are due to Rtn. C. G. G. Panicker, last year’s President of the Rotary Club, to Rtn. S. Kumar this year’s President, and Rtn. Dr. Varma and Rtn. Bharathan for the interest they take in our School.

Sports and Games:

This year’s annual sports were conducted under the supervision of our Physical Director Mr. M. M. Mathews and with the help and hearty co-operation of the teachers. Despite his heavy teaching schedule in Std. XI and management of a students* home, our Games Superintendent Mr. K. S. Jacob has maintained his interest in Sports and Games.

At the beginning of the year, Mr. G. Thomas, the State Athletic coach stayed in the school for three weeks and gave training to 80 boys. Jayakumar of Std. IX and Jimmy Antony of Std. X have taken part in many State Athletic meets and won some certificates. In Table Tennis we have two promising players Asok Kumar and Sree-t kumar. In Cricket our ourstanding players are Sanjay, Deepak and Godffrey; in Basket Ball Mathew Thomas and Joseph Jacob, and in Tennis Korula George and Rajeev.

In the School sports we divided the boys into 10 groups to make it possible for a large number of boys to compete.

New School Building :

I wish to thank the parents and benefactors for the generous response they made to our appeal for the Building Fund. Most parents gave Rs. 100 each. We have collected nearly Rs. 50,000. Our School Annual will publish the names of the donors and the amounts they have donated. Under the able supervision of Fr. Vattakunnel, we hope that the new building will be ready for us in the next academic year.

Library and Laboratory :

This year we have improved our Library and appointed Mr. William Thomas as Librarian. We have bought materials for about Rs. 50,000/- for our Laboratory. We have now well equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Before concluding, I wish to thank H. E. Rt. Rev. Dr. Peter Bernard Pereira not only for agreeing to preside over this Schoolday Celebrations but also for the keen

to the benevolence and patronage of H. E. Naturally we feel a deep sense of gratitude and so we could not think of any other person than His Excellency to preside over this function. In the name of Loyola School and all our institutions I have great pleasure to extend to your Excellency, a most cordial welcome.

I will be failing in my duty if I do not thank the V. C. and Registrar of the Kerala University for placing this Hall at our disposal today.

The Secret of PeaceAbraham Varghese, Std. X

LMOST every day we read in the papers about peace appeals made by world- leaders and politicians. Almost simultaneously we hear that hundreds are daily

massacred in Vietnam, thousands are wounded and millions are made homeless. We read about massive military build-ups and about nuclear tests. We are aware of the many and varied forms of human suffer­ing either due to poverty or injustice. Above all the nightmare of a world war is haunting us—a war that will blot out every trace of life from the face of the earth.

The history of mankind is a record of continual warfare. From the day when Cain laid his cruel hands on his innocent brother Abel there started the unending series of aggression and killing. The innocent were the victims of cruelty and injustice.

Side by side with strifes and disputes, there have been also efforts at maintain­ing peace. Men of good-will of all time have made appeals to restoring peace. Intel­ligent politicians have sought out means to prevent wars and strifes. But in the end they have all failed and world peace still remains an ideal that the whole world is . thirsting for.

Endeavours at bringing about peace have failed because people have not under­stood what real peace means, or they do not know the secret path to true and lasting peace. Peace is not a negative thing—the avoidance of war. It’s not that cold state called mutual co-existance—not poking your nose into your neighbour’s business because you are afraid of his might. Peace is a positive and creative thing. It is not just living and somehow letting others live, but living and sharing your life with others. Peace is the result cf love and friendship and service. You show love and friendship

5

when you take a man for what he is, respect his personality, give him his due and extend your helping hand without hope of reward. A family is at peace when every member respects every other member and loves him. Peace may be also described as the happy result of harmonious order. When everything is in its place there is trangui- lity and is a feeling of well-being. This we call peace.

Another thing we must learn is that peace cannot be manufactured on a large scale as goods are manufactured in a factory. It has to start in the heart of each and every individual and must grow outward. International peace will always remain a dream unless national peace becomes reality. National peace is not possible so long as the various communities and groups within a nation or not at peace among themselves and this is not possible without peace in families, which are elementary societies. And family peace, as we have said, is the result of union and harmony among the individuals. Each individual in his turn must enjoy peace within himself and treasure it most jealously. This individual peace becomes a reality when one listens to his conscience and lives according to certain values which are its dictates.

Honesty and sincerity are the first pre-requisites for genuine peace. Peace cannot be achieved without truth and justice. One must be true to oneself and true to others. Then peace will follow as surely as your shadow follows you. The problem of peace is as old as humanity and as old is also the secret path that leads to it, so tellingly described in those words of Christ: “Love your neighbour as yourself”.

Union is StrengthGanesh, Std. V B

T is an old proverb, that is full of meaning. We know that when we are united we are strong, but we do not put to practise often, what we know is right. We often

quarrel for petty reasons. These are disputes among family members.

i

But among animals, the instinct is to live together. Wild animals like bulls, bufalloes and even elephants move about in herds, in the forest. So even a powerful enemy is afraid to attack them. Animals like the wolves, hyenas and wild dogs hunt their prey in packs. Even the feathered creatures prove to us Nature’s lesson that union is strength.

vjr ~:

'

\

Now-a-days countries are learning this lesson from animals and are seeking alliances with other countries. Undivided India would have been a more powerful country compared to India and Pakistan of to-day.

Even the common man, the workers and others find that they gain a lot when they form unions. They arc able to claim better pay, and so many other things when they ask what they need through their unions.

I for my part am wondering—why I don’t join hands with my brothers with whom I fight often ? I am sure we could get out more story books and lollipops from our parents, if we formed a united front. Don’t you agree with me ?

Progress in IndiaS. Rajeev, Std. X

NDIA was left in complete poverty when the Britishers left the country for good. It was clear to all in the nation that she was one of the poorest countries in the

world. And thus were the five year plans embarked upon and the whole nation joined earnestly in the great fight to build up a new India.

These efforts by the huge population of India have proved successful in a way and the country has made tremendous progress during the recent past. It is a creditable thing that India has done so much in so short a span of time, whereas the United Kingdom and France took nearly a hundred years to cover up so much progress.

i

i

|

India can be proud of great achievements in the field of science, industry, textile and agriculture. Our leaders are confident that by 1970 we would be self- dependent. We have now started to export locomotives

which shows the great progress we have made. Our textile industry has flourished very much and we make our own aeroplanes, jets, helicopters, ships and tanks. Many of our other industries have also received a good boost.

i

! India is principally an agricultural country and unfortunately our processes are old fashioned. But at present, methods are being bettered and we can be suie of better agriculture which will, without doubt, help develop a self-sufficient economy.

Industrial development also needs a morale booster. This is very essential to meet the additional needs of the country and it is believed that in a few years nearly half of India’s needs will be met by the industrial sector.

Even after so much progress, India has to do much more, to get up to the top grades in this progressing world. But the saying goes ‘If there is a will, there is a way*, and I am sure that if the people of India try their level best the unexpected can happen in a few years. Let us hope it does, because then India will be a better place to live in.

EnglishGeorge Varghese, Std. XI

A BOUT ten per cent of the world's population use English as their primary language, xx Another ten per cent can speak and write it quite fluently. English is now

the most widely spoken language on earth and its influence is still spreading.

Few events in mankind's history can compare in scope or significance to this world-wide linguistic con­quest. Until as recently as the eighteenth century, English was out-ranked by languages like French, German, Spanish, Russian and Italian. Yet today, English virtually has no competition as the international language of commerce, diplomacy and science. Even pilots and airport control tower operators all over the world use English.

It is in the field of statesmanship, however, that English has attained the status of a universal tongue.

. The proceedings of most conferences nowada\s are conducted entirely in English, for that is the only language in which delegates can directly communicate with each other.

The most spectacular victories achieved by English are in the developing nations like India. In 1950 the Central Government proclaimed that Hindi would be the official language of India. Though this pleased the Hindi speaking sections of the population, the non-Hindi speakers protested. Thus after months of argument the ‘Save Hindi* campaign was called off and Prime Minister Nehru termed English “the major window for us to the outside world **

Not only in Asia and Africa but also in Europe, English is growing in popu­larity. West German schools require six to nine years of English. Even in East Ger­many English holds first place among optional language courses in secondary schools. English classes are equally in demand in Poland and Yugoslavia. Russian schools offer English from the fourth or fifth year. One of the best-sellers in the bookshops of Moscow is on English grammar.

9

The main catalyst that helped to spread English round the world was war. The occupation troops that moved into defeated countries after the first and second world wars did more to spread the language than any other agency.

For the poet, novelist or essayist, English provides a huge vocabulary of more than half a million words, that can be used with great flexibility. But it is in the realm of plain speech, however, that English excels. Not more than thousand words are needed to meet the needs of ordinary communication. The assets that make English so useful as an international language are derived from its varied history.

Though classified as a member of the Germanic linguistic family, it has borrow­ings from nearly all the languages. This combined with the simpleness of its gram­matical rules have greatly helped the spread of the language.

Though English has its simplicities it also has its absurdities. The main diffi­culty a non-English student has is in pronouncing it. This is due to the lack of cor­relation between its spelling and pronounciation, To illustrate this George Bernard Shaw constructed the word ‘Ghotic*. He pointed out that the ‘gh’ combination is pronounced like a cough ; the vowel ‘o* is pronounce like a short i in the word women ; and the ‘ti’ combination is pronounced like sh in nation. Hence ‘ghotic’ is pronounced fish.

1 u

Now many English words are practically international. Words like bus, jeep, shorts, etc have been adopted into most languages. This diffusion would have pleased one of the great architects of the language, Dr. Samuel Johnson who once exclaimed, “Wondrous the English language, language of live men ! ”

RosesAnand Shankar, Std. VI! A

Roses are pretty and beautiful,But their thorns are hooky and awful,Nothing to match its thrilling fragrance,With beauty and tenderness combines its fragrance.

Dew on their petals are sprinkled by nature, Before dawn when they are bloomed and mature These sparkling dew like beads,Which my s'ster always needs.

I feel thrilled and almost lost,When I kiss them tendermost,Even its remembrance drives me back, To the spot I stood with a bended back.

On the rainy days they hide their face, With drenched weight as if in disgrace, Then I know how simple it is,To receive them and get at ease.

I cup one of my own clean palms,And the other part to receive the alms, Spread it/on your face at once,And feel the aroma yourself for once.

Nehru was a great lover of roses,Never once was he seen without red roses, Adorned smartly in his chest,Wherever he goes, profoundly, at his best.

“Timir” he says is velvety maroon, That always stays fresh even at noon. “MME Falcot is pleasantly yellowish, While Lilli Marbore is lovely poppyish.

Anyone knows of any other device, Other than a rubber-hose, please advice, So that Dad won’t find fault,Of my playful waterings default.

Mother or myself or any of us,Are never allowed to pluck roses,But at last on Onam dawn, a bunch of rogues, Snatched away all our roses.

Self and father, chased them and caught,And recovered all those blooms and brought, Among them was the son of my father's fnend, So he refrained from punishing him in t ic e*ul.

In 1903, Russian pioneer, Tsiolkovsky suggested using rockets for interplanetary travel. He also sug­gested the use of liquid propellants, as solid propel­lants were found to be weak and not easy to control. In 1926 the first modern type liquid-p.ropellant-rocket was sent up by Goddard in U.S.A. Intensive work was undertaken in Germany during the 1930’s, resulted in liquid propellant, V„ rocket which was to bombard England during the final stages of the Second World War. After the war, space research was continued for scientific as well as military progammes.

i•:

••This

• Ma«sThe first aim was to send instrumented rockets into the upper atmosphere but

even the best available propellants were not powerful enough to satisfy the requirements. Therefore the multi-stage principle was adopted. The first successful multi-stage rocket lunched in 1949 in New Mexico reached a height of 244 miles. Though at present multi-stage vehicles are used for space research, in future nuclear propellants may render the method unnecessary.

The Russians have sent a vehicle called the Luna Probe to the moon either to send back information from the Lunar surface or to land there. The first of them sent up in 1959 went past the moon. The second landed there while the third went round it and photographed the averted hemisphere. These were the first pictures of the hidden regions of the moon. The next stage in the Russian programme was to achieve a soft-landing. After five failures between 1963 and 1965 (Luna-4-8) Luna 9, made a successful softlanding in 1966 and sent back excellent photographs which showed fine

Later in 1966 Luna 10, and 12, were put into paths round the moon so that they could provide conditions in that region. Luna 13 made a soft-landing and transmitted high quality pictures. It also carried equipment for testing the hardness and temperature of the Lunar crust. The Luna probe series was of immense value.

The first artificial satellite the Russian Sputnik I which had a life-time of 3 months was launched on 4th October, 1957. This date is regarded as the beginning of Space Age. Some of the earlier Satellites were destroyed immediately after they were launched but some of the later ones can be considered virtually permanent, have many uses. Some of these are purely scientific, and carry cosmic-ray counters, ultra-violet radiation dctecters and micrometeorite equipment; others have been meteor- logical satellites designed to study the earth’s atmosphere from above.

The Ranger and the Surveyor programmes are American Lunar-probes follow­ing the Russian Luniks. Various difficulties were encountered but Ranger 7, 8 and 9 launched in 1964 and 1965 obtained successful close range photographs of the Lunar surface. In 1966, American Surveyor I landed gently on the moon and sent back pictures of the surface.

In February 1961 Soviet astronomers dispatched the first Venus probe which passed within 65,000 miles of Venus in May 1961. But because its transmitters failed at an early stage no important results were obtained. Mariner II sent up by the American team proved successful. At one stage it passed within 21,000 miles of Venus and radio links were still maintained. The results that were obtained have not yet been confirmed. Venus is still a world about which very little is known.

Satellites

The first successful Mars probe was that of U. S. Mariner IV in 1964-1965. It passed within a few 1000 miles and sent back a great deal of information. The results obtained in 1965 changed all the existing ideas about Mars, which is the planet most like earth.

I

Before a man could be sent into space the re-entry problem had to be solved. If a vechicle came back to earth at high velocity it would be destroyed by frictional heating. Rocket breaking and parachute breaking provided a solution. Many autho­rities have expressed misgivings about the effects of zero gravity and cosmic radiation upon human beings but preliminary effects are encouraging. In 1961 Yuri Gagarin and later others completed a circuit of the earth in free fall. This meant that they ex­perienced total weightlessness without suffering ill effects. Even though knowledge about the problems are very limited there is no reason why a man should not reach moon in the comparitively near future, The manned vehicle project is only one part of the space research programme. It would be more useful scientifically to establish a fully equipped automatic laboratory in the moon than to orbit the earth several times.

Examination DayRamesii Kumar, Std. VI B

pUPILS and students in schools and colleges are very anxious about their examination _ an<^ they wait for the examination day. They have to exhibit their efficiency on

the examination day. Those who are brilliant and those who have studied their lessons well are glad and happy on the examination day, but others are afraid of it.

■ '■ ■ :

In the school the teachers and students are veiy busy on the examination day. Teachers are engaged in giving necessary facilities to the students to write the examination. The student and teachers reach the

j school early on the examination day. At the appoin­ted time the bell is rung giving direction to the students and teachers to occupy their seats. The students are properly seated and question papers are supplied by the supervising staff.

_ , ^ The students are not allowed to consult or talk toeach other. The Principal and the supervising staff go round watching students.

When the time fixed for the examination is over the bell is again rung giving indication that the time is over. Then the teacher collects the answer papers and the students are allowed to go out. On their way home we could see some of them engaged in discussing the answers.

My Oldest Friend In LoyolaJacob E. Alexander, Std. VI A

Y oldest friend in Loyola School is in a cage locked up in the School zoo. When I came to this School first I had no friends. So one day I thought of

going and feeding the animals in the zoo.M

-*Gradually the animals became found of me, but

one was a very mischievous one, he was a monkey. I used to feed him everyday in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening, but he always wanted to eat more and more. I could not give him more food because there were many other animals.

• :■%*

One day when I was cleaning this monkey’s cage he slowly took the key from my pocket and opened the door and ran out. I chased it but it climbed up a tree. It refused to come down. But finally its hunger got the belter of it and it quietly descended from its freedom. I gave him a plantain and in exchange he willingly climbed into its cage. He liked me very much

for giving him more food. Every time it saw me he chattered loudly for me to come near him. I have other friends too, but Rama is the best and my oldest friend.

Military TrainingRamnath Nair, Std. IX

.VI/HERE were the students of Germany, Russia and France during the War? VV !;Not on benches, but in the trenches, fighting. Students of today are nation-

builders of tomorrow. China’s attack on India has given miltary training a top place in our social life. From then, no education is considered complete with­out some part of military training.

In a free country, the responsibility of defence lies more on the shoulders of the youth than on paid soldiers. Military training is good even in peace­time. Ii gives a person alertness and discipline. In order to be a progressive nation, it is essential that all the civil population should have a part-time military training so that in times of emergency we can protect our homeland.

With the advance in technology of modern war­fare, the time element is of great importance. Wc cannot afford to start military training after war has been declared.

■• • ;

••• c

!

It is not the duty of only the soldier to defend the homeland. It is equally the duty of all of us. Today we need great technical training to fight in a modern war. Now it is fought not with muscles but with machines. All weapons are mechanized and

There are magnetic mines, flying bombs, cosmic warheads and atomic and hydrogen bombs, and in war everything is regarded as fair that paves the road to victory. If we have too many scruples, we become unfit for modern war. Every soldier has to be technically trained.* Mere drilling up and down is not enough.

Military training does not necessarily mean waging bloody wars, it is great today to impart the qualities of discipline, firmness and good health. No nation can guard itself unless it is vigilant always. Even if there is no war, military training has its uses, it prepares the youth for peace.

There are some who raise the objection that such a training will infuse in theBut this is not the case and the

experience of many countries tells us this. It is a pity that the scheme to provide compulsory military training to our students has not been feasible mainly because financing such a project is too much of a burden on the country.

If the country could provide more financial aid and if there is the development of voluntary spirit, the two main hurdles are cleared. Every student will feel proud to be the defender and protector of his country.

OlympicsG. S. V. Prasad, Std. IX

npHE original Olympic games were the athletic and artistic festivals of the ancient A Greeks, and were so called because they were held on the plains of Olympia, near

Elis in Peloponnesus.In ancient Greece every young man had to

keep himself fit for service with the army. This was done by means of daily exercises done in open-air gymnasia. Thus it was quite natural for the young men to have contests with each other in running, wrestling, javelin-throw and so on. The winner of an event in the Olympic games of ancient Greece received a crown of olive leaves. Women, were not allowed to be present, either for watching the Olympic games, nor to take part in them. But many scripts found by modern man say that the women also took part in the games.

In 1894, a French man, Baron de Coubestin, got the idea of reviving the ancient Olympic games. He called a meeting in Paris of representatives of Sports Organisations from a number of countries to discuss the matter.

As a result of these talks, the Games were revived and Greece as the country in which they started, was given the honour of staging the first Olympic Games of the modern era in 1896.

jB

-A-I'% .

•I;

» .i

• I:! For this historic occasion, the Greeks rebuilt the ancient stadium of Olympia

with seats for 45,000 people. In these revived games, the Greeks were unfortunate in

18! !1

; i;• !

not having any success in any game, except the Marathon Race, which was won by a Greek shepherd named Spiridon Louis.

Since that first date, Olympic games have been held in Paris (1900 and 1924), St. Louis (1904), London (1908 and 1948), Stockholm (1912), Antwerp (1926), Amster­dam (1928), Los Angeles (1932), Berlin (1936), Helsinki (1952), Melbourne (1956), Rome (1960) and Tokyo (1964). The Olympic games are held at intervals of four years. This year they have chosen Mexico.

Though the Olympic games are not held each time on the plains of Olympia, a link is kept with that historic place, for a torch is lit there from the rays of the sun, and carried by relays of runners, ships and aircrafts to the stadium, where one of the modern meetings is being held. There it is used to light the Olympic flame at a great Olympic Ceremony. This flame is kept burning day and night whilst the games are going on, and it is slowly put out at another equally impressive ceremony to mark the end of the Games.

li,'i •«n-

■;The Olympic flag consists of five interlocking rings coloured blue, black,

red, yellow and green.

At some of the Olympic games certain athletics, have been particularly out­standing. The most outstanding incident was the famous, “Dorando incident” at the 1908 Games in London, when Dorando of Italy, competing in the Marathon, collapsed a few feet from the finish, and so was helped by a kind official, to the end, as a result of which Dorando was disqualified. In the last 40 years, only 3 men and one woman have ever won four gold medals at a single games celebration. They are P. J. Nurmi and V. Ritola both of Finland in 1936, and the Dutch woman athlete “Fanny” Blankers— Koen, in the 1948 Olympics.

The most severe test of speed, strength and endurance in the Olympic games, is the Decathlon event, in which an athlete is required to compete in ten events, the 100, 400, and 1500 metres, the 110 metres hurdles, broad jump, long jump, pole vault, shot-put, discus, and javelin, all within two days.

The ancient Greeks by their bearing literature, and art, have influenced the whole modern world. The Olympic games in which athletes compete under strict rules, is a wonderful idea which we also owe to them.

The WheelRanji Mathew, Std. VI A

TV /I"AN, as you know has invented many things but not all are very great. One N J-V_L of his greatest inventions is a simple round object with a round hole in the centre. This invention is now called a “Wheel”.

It is a very old invention and thus wc do not know the one who invented it. You may think it a very simple invention but until you know all its uses, can you say whether it is great or not ? Even today the wheel remains a very great invention of man.

■ “ • • ■&

&

All the other great inventions such as—cars, rockets, planes, etc., would not work without thewheel. The inventor must have made this for thewheel of a cart. This later developed into various types and for various uses. The gear used in machinery is also a type of wheel. The cars, planes, rockets etc.,have in their machines a lot of wheels which runon and many other wheels put together to turn the big wheel.i

I

Let us take a day in our lives and find the uses of a wheel there. In the early morning, people usually get up at the sound of the alarm clock. This clock has numerous small wheels inside it. We take water from our wells by means of pumping or drawing water up. For drawing water the rope is fixed on to a wheel. For pumping the motor has wheels in it. The flour used for making the bread we eat is ground by help of machines which have wheels inside them.place has to have wheels to work its motors, and another set on which to run. table at which we sit is made of wood. The wood is cut and polished by machines which have small wheels in them. The wheel is used in several other things and should be one of the most important inventions of man.

the son of Pastor He was very shy but

the other boys did not understand this. They thought he felt superior to them because he was a pastor’s son.

One day Albert ahd his friend Henry made sling­shots to shoot the birds. Albert aimed a stone at a bird. At once the church bells rang. To Albert it seemed to ring out the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill ’. He threw his sling and ran home crying. That night he made an important decision. He resolved that he would never let other people influence him to do a wrong thing. When Albert was reading for higher education he was sent to another school, in Mulhausen where he stayed with his aunt.

In Mulhausen School he also studied Music. His tutor a certain Mr. Munch thought that Albert was a

dull pupil. Mr. Munch once told Albert “ you are a thorn in the flesh ”. He also added “ You don’t deserve to have such beautiful Music”. These words were a challenge to Albert. From that day onwards he began to play beautifully. Mr. Munch was speechless and he became very fond of him. When he died, Albert wrote his first book about his teacher. He worked for many years and became a scholar. He decided that from the age of thirty he would render service to mankind.

The milk man comes on a bicycle with a big can full of milk. He obtains the usual vessel from the servant and pours out through the can tap four litres of milk which we usually buy every day.

The milk man brings milk from a co-operative milk colony at Balaramapuram. The place is eight miles from Trivandrum. He starts from the colony at 4 a.m. and reaches Tiivandrum at 5-30 a.m. The milk man is very regular. We give coupons to get the milk.

She Worked For The DisabledRanjan Kantiiy, Std. X B

lTYELEN KELLER was born in the year 1889 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. At the XI age of one she had an attack of scarlet fever and was left completely isolated

from the world, unable to communicate with her fellow human beings. She learned very little until she was five. Then she was put under the tutorship of Anne Sullivan who was herself handicapped like Helen.

1

i

Miss Keller learned to understand by putting her hand on her tutor’s throat and her finger on her lips. She also learned braille with her finger touch alphabets. She was soon able to understand much, went to Perkins Institute for the Blind and later to Radcliffc College from where she graduated with honours.

!In 1900 she

Hellen Keller was determined to work and overcome her, and her fellow beings handicapped. She was the recipient of several honorary degrees and

doctorates from different universities all over the world. She spent the greater part of her life touring different countries and lecturing on behalf of the blind and the deaf. She was not only an educated woman but also a famous author. She wrote several books, the best of them being the story of her life, in which she explains how she was able to overcome all her handicaps and prove to the world that blindness and deafness need not put a person in the unwanted list. Though sight and speech were denied her she developed her intellectual gifts to the full.

Miss Keller was an international citizen. In 1955 she came to India at the invitation of the late Mr. Nehru. She visited the workshop for the blind at Bombay and spent a lot of time with her handicapped friends. Everywhere she went, she was given a rousing welcome.

Helen Keller’s success in overcoming her disabilities became the subject of herfilm and a play.

IMiss Keller who achieved world renown through her hard work passed away

at the age of eightyeight. She died at her home in Westport (U.S.A.) on the 2nd of June 1968. Her death was most regretted by her handicapped friends for whose benefit she had worked for nearly three quarters of her life. Her own words still echo in the minds of her fellow beings. “My life has been happy because I have had wonderful friends and plenty of interesting work to do”. “I seldom think about my limitations and they never make me sad.” “Perhaps there is a touch of yearning at him, but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.” “The mind passes and the flowers are content.”

MY PETAnil Paul Joseph, Std. Ill A

Y pet is a little animal, that follows me about the house. It has two eyes, one is green and one is blue. It has two long whiskers that stick out, one pink

nose that feels cold and one big mouth that opens wide to “Meaow meaow” ! ! So now you know my pet is a cat.

M!

:

She is a very fluffy cat. Her coat is yellow, white and black. People say three colours are very lucky. The tail is the best part of her—black and white and it stands up like a question mark when she walks.

Her name is Tuffy and she knows to act like a lady. Every night she sleeps on the sofa. She cleans herself often and washes her face after meals. But she is a very greedy thing. When anybody starts eating she starts crying till she gets a little bit. Then she keeps quiet till we finish and give her share in her own plate. But if anything is left outside and no one is watching she

first helps herself to a good feed. One fine day Tuffy was lying in a basket with six kittens all different colours. Some were black and white, some brown and white, one pure white, and one like the mother. Tuffy looked after them well. She fought with other cals that came near, and never left them alone for long. When they grew a little bigger she even brought them rats to eat My aunt would not let me keep them all. So I presented four to my friends. Now I have just three left.

Jesse OwensJimmy Antony, Std. X

TESSE Owens was bom at Danvilla, Alabama on 12th September 1913. He was J the tenth of the eleven children of a poor farmer. His family was so poor that

they did not even have the necessary clothing. Owens knew that he had the talents for becoming a great athlete and so he set to work.

?!..m a }

He had classes from 8 A.M. to 2-50 P.M. and after this he trained for an hour and then went to work as an elevator operator and in between his work he used to* study. He reached home when it was 12-30 A.M. and was ready for the next day at 6-30 A.M. This was the life of Jesse Owens who afterwards became the worlds greatest athlete.

Owens had a well proportioned body, he wae 5 ft. 10 in. and 156 lbs. Because of his ability to run fast and leap far, some called him the ebony antelope and others the black panther. His coach was a tall, middle

aged Irish man by the name Charles Riley. Riley’s coaching was splendid, it taught Owens the first principle of an athlete-humility. White men had a contempt for Negroes so Owens had to live in a Negro home or Negro section but he made no fuss about it for he said that in the field of competition all men were equal.

Owens’ practice was very much different from that of other athletes. Charles Riley told him that the secret of sprinting was relaxation and to have relaxation one should consider sports as a pleasure. He was made to run as if he had a glass of water on his head. His coach told him to consider the track as a very hot substance. This thought made him pull his legs fast from the ground.

_In 1932 when Owens was only 19 years old he ran the 100 yards in 9 4 sec. ‘h“s

equalling the world record. In the year 1935 on May 25th at an Inter o -g'a at Ann Arbor in Michigan the ebony antelope broke 3 world records .another. He ran the 100 yards in 9 4 sec. and the 220 yards in 20 3 sec., the y

TTIK HI He jumped to a distance of 26 ft. 8J in., this record stoodlow hurdles in 22-6 seconds,

as a world record for 25 years.

! Defeat also came to this great athlete. On 4th July 1935 he was defeated by Eulace Peacock and Ralph Metcalfe, both were friends and team mates of Owens. Eulace Peacock defeated Owens in the long jump. Eulace jumped 26 ft. 3 in. and Owen fell short J of an inch. In 1936 Owens went to Berlin for the Olympics. This time he made no mistake. His mind was set on one event that was the 109 metres. He not only won the Gold medal for 100 metres but won three more by winning the long jump, 200 metres and the 4 X 100 metres relay in which he ran the first leg.

■

i I Jesse Owens was the greatest athlete of the century. His last appearance as an ama'eur was at White City Stadium, London, on August 15th 1936. After 1936 he turned to be a professional and started to make money He gave his old coach a car as a present. Owen is now a social worker. A quarter century has passed since the days of the ebony antelope but his combined ability as a sprinter, low hurdler and long jumper is still unmatched.

The “Lunatic” JesuitsJohn Kurian, Std. VIII

HHO-DAY the world is looking forward to the day when the first man will land on the A moon. It is customary for the people who discover places to name the places asmmHf «f«§

BbSSI'■mm

they like. But the first astronauts to reach the moon cannot give American or Russian names at will to the places they visit. The main features have long had names. Thirty two of them are names of men which ' end with the letters, S. J., which means that they are Jesuits, members of the Society of Jesus.

This lunar invasion of the Jesuits can be explained by the interest in science which the Society of Jesus had from its very beginning. When Francis Xavier,

Of the first Jesuits reached Japan, he asked Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits to send him someone “who knew the sphere'*. The famous Father Ricci, who had such success in Peking, was not

Bji the only astronomer—missioner who used his scienceto spread the knowledge of Christ. Modern astronomy

owes much to the Jesuits who already in the 18th. century were directing thirty of the worlds hundred and thirty observatories.

The first scientific atlas of the moon was made in 1645 by Michael Florence Van Langren. He engraved 30 large plates and named 270 points on the moon’s sur­face. Van Langren used a few names like the Land of Worthiness, the Land of Virtue, the Philippic Ocean, the Copernican Sea, but most places he named after scientists. There were also the names of several Jesu'ts. Van Langren sent a copy of his work to , Father John Baptist Riccioli, another Jesuit astronomer who was equipping the obser­vatory of the Roman College with all the latest apparatus. Riccioli bought a magnificent telescope from a Bavarian instrument maker. The telescope was fifteen feet long and it had a higher magnification than any of its predecessors. After a lot of observation Riccioli drew a still better map of the moon with six hundred details.

Riccioli’s names are a mixture of the scientific, literary and poetic, names of persons he divided the moon into eight equal sections. The scientists ot

antiquity were in the upper section, their most recent successors in the lower, including 25 Jesuits. Among the Jesuits on the moon are Christopher Clavius, who was called the modern Euclid. He was famous for his struggle for reform of the Calendar. Athanasius Kircher, another Jesuit, was one of the most learned men of the 17th century. He specialized in ocean currents and magnetism. He went down into the crater of the Vesuvius. He published 44 books and his letters fill 144 others.

After Riccioli died in 1671 at the age of 80, other Jesuits obtained a place of honour on the moon. Bescovich, Vico, Secchi, Hagan, Tibor, Rivas. The most famous was Father Gregory de St. Vincent, founder .of a special School of Mathematics. In1647 be brought out his enormous book “The Austrian Problem Further”--------ThanBeyond, the Circle Squared” in ten volumes, in which he ranged through the whole of human knowledge.

Even today the Jesuits are interested in astronomy. There are very eminent Scientists and Astronomers among them; they have their observatories in several parts of the world ; the Jesuit observatories of Manila and Rome are among the best in the world. Ignatius of Loyola the founder of Jesuits wanted his children to be interested in everything that promoted the glory of God. They are interested not only in Theology -and spiritual matters but also in every branch of learning. The Jesuits during the last four hundred years have contributed much for the progress of science and learning. We may safely hope that not in the distant future we will have a powerful telescope in Loyola School with an Astronomer Jesuit to teach the School boys the wonders of the sky. P. S. Dear reader, in this article the term “Lunatic” as you have already realized is used in its Etymological sense to mean only lunar Jesuits. If the term ‘lunar Jesuits’ was used would you have read this article ?

The day I stopped playing tricks on othersKora M. Stephen, Std. VIII

T was on a bright sunny Tuesday. I was standing in the bus stop waiting for a bus to go to School. I saw my broad chested friend Joseph, a little far away from the

place I was standing.i

• {

*>' YU After waiting for a long time the bus arrived and to my delight my friend Joseph also boarded the same bus. Then I thought of playing a trick on Joseph. So I thought for a long time and at last, a thought struck me. I thought of taking his purse.

So I went near him and to my relief I found thatthe purse was lying on the seat beside him. So I took itwithout tb?r notice of any body. I intended to give it back when we reach the School. And I was feeling proud of the deed.

But just then, there was a hue and cry raised in the bus. I inquired and found that a man had lost his purse. When I heard the word ‘purse* my face went

pale. And then to my horror I found the man from whom I had taken the purse was not my friend Joseph but somebody else. This man had found his purse missing when he wanted to pay for his ticket.

Then I wished I had not taken it but wishing could not help it. So feeling veryashamed I gave the purse back to the man and explained the matter to him. This manwho was good natured, accepted it as a joke. He said he didn’t mind it as long as the money inside was not lest.

After that minutes began to drag on and every minute seemed like a day. At last the bus stopped in Sreekarivam and I began to walk to school feeling miserable. And the whole day was an unlucky day for me. I could not do anything well because this incident was worrying me. Ater that day whenever I felt like playing a trick on somebody I thought of this incident, and it helped me to stop this bad habit. I was keep­ing this incident as a secret for a long time and now I am letting it out. This was one of the most missrable days I ever had and which I am not likely to forget.

My best Summer HolidayT. R. Hari Krishnan, Sto. VI A i

A FTER the hard, tiresome work of a year people wish greatly for a long enjoyable holiday and the best time chosen for such a holiday is a during summer. Men

The days were spent so happily that I did not notice how soon a me nth and a half passed. When the day came to part with Ooty I really did not like to come back, but I had to. So I said good-bye to Ooty and came back to my house with a heavy heart but refreshed with happy thoughts of the days spent in Ooty.

It was lime to board the plane and l was a bit afraid. I was going alone for the first time. Luckily a friend of my grand- father was going to Bombay. He promised to look after me. We got into the plane. The engines began

flew through the clouds along the sea-coast. It was j i wonderful to see the waves dashing in and out of the

little by little and flew at less speed. Coming down slowly the plane touched ground. It came to a halt in the runway. It then turned and went to the landing place and stopped.

A visit to PonmudiOommen Aju Jacob, Std. V B

\\ 7E were very happy, when my aunt told us that she would take us to Ponmudi. We VV were to start a Saturday morning. My sister and I could not sleep the

previous night because of our excitement. We got up early that morning. Mummy had made a packet of eatables and my daddy dropped us at my aunt’s house.

Two cousins of my age were also coming with us. That added to our joy. The others of the groups were all older people. A bus had been specially arranged for us. We happened to know the conductor and the driver before.started singing as the bus began to move, happily going when the bus stopped all of a sudden.The driver told us that there was some engine trouble.So we had to get down and send for another bus.

Luckily, the break-down took place near a rubber___ estate. We went there and sat under the trees, prepared

some lime juice and drank it. It was a lovely picnic since we had many things to eat such as cakes, sweets and nuts. We then played some games and we never realized that we had spent about an hour there. By that time another bus came.

After that it was all a climbing up (of hills). We had to pass twenty hairpin curves, each one leading to a higher place, asked tn wear our woollen clothes. The scenery around was becoming more beautiful as we went higher. We children stood near the windows and looked out. The houses appeared to us, like small soap boxes and the roads like ribbons. The tops of the trees looked like a green carpet. We felt that the clouds were very close to us. It was all very wonderful to us because it was our first experience in going up so high. At last we reached the top of Ponmudi.

Since we were tired and hungry, we enjoyed very much, the hearty lunch that * was served in the rest house. Soon after the meals, we climbed up the hills round the

Charming NagalandV. Ramakrtshnan, Std. VIr B

iXT AG ALAND, the 16th State of the Indian Union, is the smallest State with a very I i small population. Apart from a few hundred miles of plains in Dimapur area,

the entire State is covered with ranges of hills and mountains. It may be difficult to give a general pic­ture of the life and culture of the Nagas. Most of the 16 tribes have different customs, dialects and habits. But this much can be said that Nagas are brave, simple, hospitable, and hard working people. Their stable diet is rice, meat and vegetables.

j ■

Kohima is the capital of Nagaland. Nagaland remained secluded and isolated for a long time. We do not know the reason. The only road constructed dur­ing the World War II was primarily meant to link Dimapur with the military base at Manipur. •

Nagaland can easily attract a large number of tourists. A visit to Nagaland can be satisfying to

people from all walks of life. Dimapur by road. It is linked by a pucca road and a State Transport service. State taxis are also available. Chimakdima has the proud privilege of being the headquarters of the Nagaland Armed Police. No visitor ihisses one great scene of intense beauty running all through his journey wherever he goes. Wild flowers, thick forests, huge trees, tall grasses, wild animals and colourful birds add to the charm of the scene.

Kohima town is spread over a long prawling ridge which may be 5 miles in length from the Government High School to the Chief Minister’s house. Churches, Schools and Community halls are all modern. If you happen to be in Nagaland during rainy season, you will find that it does net rain, but it pours down. Yet it would be very unequal if there was no sunshine over a long period. There are no big waterfalls. Government is taking all steps to encourage tourists to visit Nagaland.

Foreign Country I should like to seel

“There dazzling white mountains stand against the bluest of skies, dark forests contrast with bright green meadows down the hill sides and reach to the shores of the wild lakes of ever changing colours, purple, blue, green; and into the lakes pour the foaming white rivers”, says the Children’s Encyclopaedia.

..v. vi

The highest peak of all “Mount Blanc” is over 1,500 ft. but not as high as Mount Everest, the centre of the great high lands that cover more than half of Switzerland with many ranges of mountains. Some of these are wide and green with grass and gor­geous with wild flowers in spring. High up the rivers,

frozen masses of ice crawl a few feet in a year. At sunrise and sunset these white fields of glaciers are bathed in rosy red and gold colours.

Between the Alps and the plateaux of Switzerland there is a beautiful mountainous district with rocks and pinewoods, moors and lakes. Round the lakes of Thun and Lucerne thousands of visitors find villages in which to stay. The plain of Switzerland lies between the Alps and the Jura mountains. Wooded hills, fruit orchards and fields covered with crops gladden the eyes.

Visitors go in winter for winter sports like skating, gliding and skiing. Thou­sands go there every year for mountaineering. Besides, the beautiful landscape with its mountains and lakes, and the cool healthy climate would be sufficient reward to any that visit the country. Lake Geneva is so vast that a fast steamer takes two hours to go from one end to the other. “Seeing is believing” and I long to see that country the description of which reads like a fairy tale.

An Encounter in the Deserts of Mesopotamia nC3cEapen Peter Joseph, Std. IX z:33

A /TY name is Hunte, John Hunte. I had fought in the 1st World War with my 1VJL brothers Thomas and George. I enlisted in the army with my brothers, that is

in 1915. We had our training everyday. We were then told that we were leaving for Mesopotamia. The deserts there were terrible, we knew it and we were preparing for it. On the eve of our departure we were asked to make sure of the equipment supplied to us. My comrades were all about the place either busy with their thoughts, of home perhaps, while others were either writing or reading letters. My brothers prefered to be alone. So I was left alone. It was frightening to think that I might not return.

■

:■ :

The next morning we were air lifted to Meso­potamia. We arrived there in a couple of hours. The following day we were separated into battalions. George was the captain of his battalion. Thomas was in a different battalion. The captain of our battalion

was a close friend of mine, Jones. We were asked to go to a place twenty miles away. The walk up till there was terrible. After about ten miles we sighted the Germans. Action began. The quietness of the desert was filled with the sound of gun-shots. I was asked to keep my position and from there my gun chattered away. Most of my shots found its mark. I then realised that we were losing the battle. Many comrades were shot. When Jones fell I felt a surge of anger. I rushed at the er.emies blindly. I felt a stinging pain in my shoulder and then everything was black.

When I awoke my shoulder was aching. There was no room to walk about. The whole place was filled with bodies. Again I slept.

When I awoke, George was near me. He explained to me how he found me. Thomas had been very brave. He was seriously wounded. When we reached England both of us were admitted into hospital. In two months time we were all right.

Thomas was awarded the Victoria Cross for exceptional bravery. As we all retirement each one of us treasures his encounter of war. And can

A Plane Crash I WitnessedRaju Varghese, Std. VIII

1 A ^ July 1962 was a holiday in Kuwait. My father and I were driving a car to the Kuwait International airport. A fierce sandstorm was blinding us. But after a

slow drive we could see the blinking lights of the air­port. A Fokker Friendship was to arrive at that time in that airport.

Very soon we parked the car and got into the air­port. Pilots, passengers and policemen were moving about that place. We got into a room from where we could watch the landing planes. This Fokker Friend­ship could only land with radar guidance due to the storm. The pilot had constant check with the radar crew to see whether his guide-path was correct.

A few minutes later we could see the plane coming in. But alas the speed was too great. So, as soon as the under-carriage touched the ground it broke. The plane did an incomplete somersault and rolled to a

Simultaneously the fire engine and the ambulance arrived. The fire-men were not able to keep the fire under control but they recovered everybody. Both the pilots had died when the plane did that somersault. One of the passengers had his feet wedged between two seats, the rescue men pulled him out but his skin tore exposing the flesh and they dumped him together with the others into the ambulance. The ambulance rushed the passengers to the hospital. The following were the casualities :—

Four died on the way to the hospital; twelve had broken arms and ribs ; nine with broken or fractured leg and eight had skull injuries. The rest (two passen­gers and one air hostess) were left unharmed.

Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, G D.R., Yugosalvia, Rumania, Italy and Arabia took part in the exhibition. The states in our country like Kerala, Mysore, Uttar- Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra also took part.

Indian Telephone Industry, Indian Air-lines, Defence pavilion and the Indian Railways were very interesting. Railways showed four new models. A small

train was run to make children happy and I had a ride on it.

A big tower was at the centre. We could reach the top of the tower with the . help of a lift and the sight was a very enjoyable one.

Water dance was very interesting. Coloured lights were put and the fountain was made to dance according to the music.

The exhibition was held in a vast area and it took three days for me to see through the whole thing.

who happened to be there said to me “Child do not go to the School today; you will have bad luck this term’*. But I told him that I had to go to the school that very day.

a substitute for religion, flattering man that he has secret knowledge and secret power, giving him control over the very destiny of man, his fortune, his health, his love, his rela­tion with others; an improper development of the irradicable religious tendency of man”.

The booklet described the serious dangers, physical, mental, and moral, that awaited a man who was given to superstition. “His decisions will be formed on the basis of utterly false conception of things and even the most obviously prudent course of action will be paralysed because of all sorts of superstitious fears.”

Various forms of superstitions that are prevalent in the world were described in the booklet : astrology and horoscope, palmistry and fortune telling, talismans and omens, divinations and evil eye, the dread of certain numbers and several other supersti­tious beliefs and practices.

The booklet then gave several convincing arguments to show how superstitions were opposed to science, to sound reason and to the human dignity.

After reading the booklet I went to see my councellor. He asked whether I had still some irrational fears, I said : “No, none at all” He told me to study well, behave well and have filial confidence in the protection of God and to leave aside all stupid fears. I felt his room in peace and happiness.

That term happeaed to be one of the happiest and luckiest of terms that 1 had in the school. Since I tried to behave well, I did not get any punishments nor did l lose any of my friends. Since I worked hard, I did well in the examination. Every one praised me for my all-round progress. My father was so pleased that he presented me with a camera and a wrist watch. I feel now and then that it was the black cat that brought me al! the luck, it. If you find a black cat anywhere make friends with it.

a common Kashmiri Brahmin name. The family later migrated to Delhi and lived near a water-way thereby attaining the name ‘Nehru* which means ‘Canal’. Nehru was by birth a rich Brahmin and was educated in England. Not even a few had dreamt that Nehru, a graduate and lawyer would live to rule an illiterate and unformed nation like India.

Although bom in India he was educated in England and grew to be like an Englishman. He assimilated English culture though his heart bled for India.

Mr. Nehru steered a narrow difficult course in world politics and so brought condemnation from both sides. The West accused Nehru of being “Soft on Com­munism” and Premier Joseph Stalin denounced him as a running dog of imperialism.” But Nehru never wavered in his determination to keep India free from entangling al­liances. He worked endlessly to preserve India’s neutrality in the world.

Nehru refused to turn power into despotism. Dictatorship was within his reach many a time, and it looked as if the Indians were forcing it into his hands, but Nehru never fell for it. He made India a secular state.

HE two elephants stopped about a hundred metres from the cave. Four men got down from the back of the animals, and cautiously approached the cave. Then

silently, with guns held in readiness, they entered it. A mahout, watching them, muttered “They are fools who enter the lair of Sher”. He climbed back on his ele­phant for he knew that tigers, the object of the hunt, would keep away from elephants.

Sher aur ek Jangal Admee!” On looking towards the spot to which the man was pointing, they saw a strange sight. A huge, hairy creature, about the size of a man, was holding a large tiger in its arms, and was slowly carefully, choking it to death. While they were watching this fantastic spectacle, another creature came up behind them.

Sir William turned round on hearing his nephew’s shriek. He saw a hairy creature, like the one strangling the tiger, carrying Roger away, up the hill. Putting himself between Ramdas and Har Singh, he fired at the animal, taking care not to hit his nephew. The creature tottered, and then fell dead.

“Sahiii-ugh P* These words came up to Ramdas and Sir William. Turning round, they saw the first animal trying to get a hold on Har Singh’s throat. They fired simultaneously, and the creature fell.

On examining the two animals—after getting Ramdas and Har Singh to verify whether they were dead or not, while he kept a safe distance—Sir William said it was a rare species of orangutan, a quadrumana. With the help of Roger, who had recovered from the fall, and the two.reluctant mahouts, the animals, and the dead tiger, were dragged on to the back of the elephants.

Back in the Kumaon, they got a handsome offer for the Orangutans from a representative of the British Museum. That alone was more than enough to pay for the expedition and there was plenty of money to be divided amongst themselves.

VIOLIN CONCERT (School Day Entertainment)

My Trip to The Dark ContinentlRavi Varghese Kurian, VII B<

N October last my daddy conveyed me the happy news that he had booked air pas­sage for mvself and my happy-go-lucky brother for our travel, two months later

—— from Cochin to the industrial city of Kano in NorthernNigeria, where my daddy works.

Ilift|gft|

My joy knew no bounds. For the rest of the day I was terribly home-sick. Thoughts about my dearest parents, about my 2 year old naughty sister, of Rosy our faithful and playful dog, of the graceful automobile, of the television which provides entertainment, of the cosy house, and above all, the care free life away from the frowning teachers, rose high up in my mind for the next couple of days. How I wished that the months of October and November should fly off!!

next two months moved at snails pace,

At long last, 19th December, did arrive and our uncle took us to the airport at Cochin two hours before the scheduled time of departure. During the two hours of waiting at the airport I was as fidgety as a migratory bird. Gradually the sun setting. The clock struck 6. My heart began sounding when I heard the announce-

We had our dinner in the air at 1 p.m. After that my brother fell into slumber while I began visualizing the cakes and other dainties that may have been prepared by my mother, the numerous toys that may have been bought in advance by daddy, and of a hundred other things.

At 9 p.m. we were over Bombay, which from above, looked like a fairy-land, dotted with lights. We left Bombay 4 hours later, when the city was fast asleep. Our journey from Bombay to Cairo was by a magnificent Boeing 707 of Air India. Indeed, we were treated like ‘Yuwa Rajas* by the charming air-hostesses. As we had had a sumptuous dinner at the Bombay airport, at the expense of Air India, we did not join our fellow passengers for light refreshments. Sinking into the wooly cushions of the slumberettes of Air India we soon fell asleep.

:( ir|

As the mild rays of the pink morning sun began to penetrate through the tran­sparent window of the plane, the air-hostesses awakened us with a smilling “good morning** and a glass of orange juice.

We landed at Cairo at 6 in the morning and had to wait there for 6 hours for the plane to Kano. We spent the time in our hotel room at the airport watching in amazement the numerous aircrafts of various types landing and taking off at the modern airport at Cairo.

We took off from Cairo at 12 noon by a Comet Jet of the United Arab Airlines. Soon we were over the Sahara. After lunch and nap we landed at Kano at 4 a.m. We wept for joy on seeing our dearest parents and fell into their arms.

Once in Kano we prayed that the month of January should never come, because by then we had to be back in School.

Nevertheless, January did arrive and it arrived too fast as if it had wings. We felt miserable as the date for the return was fast approaching. Ashok, stopped eating and sleeping three days before the scheduled day of departure while I tried to store courage.r

We were off from Kano on Monday the 15th January 1968. Needless to say that we felt melancholy throughout the return journey.

Back in the School, in the midst of friends and teachers sadness meltedaway and we soon became a part of the school. Let, the thoughts of Nigeria and of our dear parents do haunt me in the night.

IFE is a race, and we are the runners. When our work is dons we have to hand over the torch to the new generation”.

Your Excellency, beloved teachers and dear friends, I am reminded of these words of Plato, the Greek philosopher, as I stand here to bid you farewell.

For me and ray class-mates this is the last School day celebration. We have ran the race. We have finished the course. It is time we passed on the Loyola torch to a new generation. During the past years of our high school education we have been carrying it lovingly and enthusiastically. Its flame has warmed our hearts, lighted our paths and inflamed our minds with visions of achievement and glory.

This torch is the embodiment of all that is lovely and beautiful, all that is noble and excellent in the traditions and standards of Loyola School, patterned as they are in

Being the pioneers of a great enterprise we considered them a privilege and a challenge to the nobler spirit in us—a means to imbibe the Loyola spirit; “to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labour and not to look for reward.**

All the same one just cannot shake off the past. The many happy experiences of our life in Loyola will always remain embedded in our soul, character and personality. The love and care we have received from our teachers and other staff members, the friendship we have enjoyed of our companions will always be remembered with affection and gratitude.

useful tips to be a good teacher. I arc appointedme.

June 15th : I have begun to feel at home in my classes. I have begun to speak slowly and distinctly, using simple words. The headmaster told me that my boys had begun to like me, and congratulated me on my improvement. I felt very happy.

August 1st: I caught a boy reading a “Comic” during my class. I confiscated the book and seriously warned the boy. I gave the boys a talk on the harm that would result by spending too much time on comics, detective stories and thrillers. I think this is one of the reasons, including the frequenting of the cinema theatre why many of our young men are not able to do any serious reading or study. They are always on the look out for fun and entertainment. It is the duty of us teachers to develop in our students a taste for good books.

nice andAugust 17th: I went for a picnic with my boys, they were all very cor ial. A few of them asked me some intimate and personal questions: “Sir, were you a mischievous boy when you were a student ? Sir, when will we be able to celebrate )our wedding? etc. One of the students told the others in my presence an anecdote about me which he had heard from his father who had been my classmate.

ugly they looked especially those who had “Knock-knees” or “Bow legs” ! How hand­some they would have looked if they had worn decent pants! But it is no use advising them ; the craze of fashion is too strong.

January 20th 1968 : School Day. I am very happy. Several of my students secured prizes both for studies and for sports.

The President, a distinguished educationist exhorted the students to develop a sense of responsibility. He said that now-a-days the majority of the students do not have sufficient sense of responsibility. That is why they lack emotional maturity- They cannot decide things for themselves. They are easily and blindly led into wrong ways of thinking and acting by unprincipled leaders and unhealthy propaganda. The President also gave some advice to us teachers. We can be good teachers only if we love our students and treat them as intelligent parents would love and treat their own children.

<o<NZoC3

March 20th : The last day of the School year. The headmaster told me that I had done good work in the School and that he was proud of me. I felt very much flattered. He said that the management was thinking of giving me a promotion.

April 20th : The headmaster sent for me. The manager of the school was with him. They once again congratulated me on the good work that I had done, and said that they were appointing me as Asst. Headmaster, which meant among other advantages, an increase of Rs. 100 in my salary and the privilege of a separate room in the School. The headmaster told me privately that in a few years he would be retiring and that he was sure that I would be the next headmaster.

An Exemplary StudentR. Satish, Std. V B

N exemplary student is one who sets a good example to others. He should be good not only in studies but also in the way he behaves. At school a boy learns

many things which help him to be a good, hardworking and honest man.

A;

1 A good student is hard-working, punctual, obedi- $ ent and respectful to his teachers. He listens carefully | to his teachers, does his work earnestly, spends his free | time in a useful way either playing games or by reading. $ books which help him in his studies. A good student $ will be kind and polite and ready to help his friends in 9 need. This will make him popular among his com- n panions. He will win their love and respect and they | will be ready to follow his good example. Thus one 3 good student will lead many other to be good.

S3. i

'J® SR 4 mfes■gm

> *■

Just being a quiet student, obedient to the rules of . God and man and good at studies do not help a boy

to grow uP in mind and body. He must be interested in sports and games too. We know that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. So be must spend his playtime exercising his body. This will be the right way for both his mind and body to grow.

Now that I know what it means to be an exemplary student why not I try tobecome one?

The Paradise of the SouthShaji Thomas, Std. VII B "

TOURING the last Christmas holidays, I was lucky to visit the Brindavan Krishna- \-J sagar, one of the largest gardens, and most enchanting beauty spots in India. iBHMAiUJ\JUi’ldnmj ls situated near the Krishna Sagar Dam, and many

mrBrindavan is built across the Cauvery river and it

is about twelve miles north-west of Mysore. From Mysore a good motorable road which is lit with elec­tric lights, lead to the gardens. The Krishna Sagar dam is nine miles from the upstream part of Siringa-patanam and built below the river Cauvery, Hemavathy

• anc* Lakshmanatheertha.

UsII A This dam is one of the biggest in South India. It |p? was an idea of Tippu Sultan. Tippu’s inscription is

r placed at the entrance gate of the dam. It is translated into both Kanada and English.

The dam is constructed purely of stone masonary, without cement. There is a motorable road on the top of the dam. The construction of the dam took 20 years. They started their work on the dam in 1911 and completed it only in 1931. They built this dam for:— (1) The continuity of power against shortage of water in summer. (2) To increase the amount of power and (3) To bring a large extent of land under irrigation. This reservoir is named after His Highness The Maharaja Sri. Krishna Raja.

This dam is 130 ft. high above the river bed. Above the river bed is 48,335 million cubic feet of water. One-fifih of this is used for power generation and the rest for irrigation.

The garden with its charming flowers of various kinds, floodlit mountains and waterfalls is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. A high pressure fountain is

69

.

situated in the middle of the river and it shoots up to a height of 140 ft. Boating in motor launch and rowing boats is arranged around this fountain.

There is the Hotel ICrishn’asagar meant for the visitors who come to stay there and it is provided with all kinds cf modern luxury. This hotel is built and managed by the Central Government.

There are facilities for swimming and visitors with guns can have interesting winged game around the lake. On Saturdays and Wednesdays there is lighting, and it is the best time to visit the gardens. The lightings start at 6.30 p.m. A visitor is im­pressed by the loveliness of the gardens. No doubt Brindavad Gardens can be called, one of the greatest beauties on earth.

AdieuMiss T. K. Leelamma

T was in September 1962 that I joined the School to be one of the very few teachers who were required then. Now after about six years as I am leaving I can’t but help

to turn and have a glance at these years. I have a vivid ■] picture, in my mind, of all the stages the school has rj passed through and the enormous progress it has made

[ .j in this short period.

At first the small school building was situated in a . '! beautiful hilly spot at Manvila. It was a secluded

i place and we were in a world of our own. There were .] hardly a hundred students and we were like a family.

Later the building was shifted to the present place, nearer to the city; yet a convenient one. A good number of changes have taken place and tremendous

?■ progress has been made in every phase. The school has cultivated a very good spirit and built up a tradi­tion of its own : quite a unique one. In spite of the various changes that have taken place, the homely

atmosphere that existed in the beginning is still kept up. 1 feel it is this atmosphere that I shall miss the most.

Music in Loyola

“lyJ-USIC washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life” MOZART.

Music in Loyola plays an important part in the School life of the boys. The inspiring music of the properly trained musicians, violinists, guitarists and the vocalists, not only adds to the gaiety of many a ‘Bjg day’ but also arouses the school spirit to a fever pitch.

There are regular classes conducted by the School to coach up boys in the art of singing and playing instruments like violin and guitar, hundred boys benefited by the violin classes, about 50 by the guitar and another 80, the members of the School choir, by the singing classes, respectively. Our Principal, Rev.

r. uncheria, has always been our guiding star giving us encouragement and help which really is responsible for the rapid growth of the present activities, in the field of music, in Loyola.

The School choir has been giving items on various occasions and are very muc appreciated. The violin concerts were unique performances and so too the items contri uted by the guitarists. There was a combination of all these during the School

• Day Celebrations at the Senate Hall and the entire programme was highly applauded.We hope to develop our activities still further by the audition of some more

instruments like Ukelele, Mandoline and Hawaiian guitar and it will certainly be an impetus for more to join and an asset to the Institution.

Thus there are over a

isaw the light of day for the first time at 3.15 p.m. on Tuesday the 16th August 1963. My birth place was on the top of a tall coconut tree in the Loyola School compound.

My mother was near me when I came out of the shell. I heard a loud shout; my mother later told me that on every class day at 3.15 p.m. there was this loud noise ; classes were over at that time and the boys came out of the class shouting for joy.

My mother fed me soon after my birth. For the first few days she gave me only rice and plantains. Then she added some well cooked fish. After about a month she began to give me strong meat. In those days it was easy for my mother and her friends to get good food in abundance in Loyola compound itself. The dining

... hall at that time was a thatched shed with openings all ^ around. So they could, whenever they wanted, get in

and take the foed they needed without any danger of being caught or molested.

Eight weeks after my birth my mother pushed me out of the nest and, as I was falling, I instinctively flapped my wings and found that I could fly, though not much. My mother told me to keep away from humans, especially the school boys, till I could fly well. I survived because I obeyed her. I heard from my mother that two of my elder brothers who had disobeyed her on this point were caught and murdered by some cruel boys. This happened years ago. The present set of Loyola boys are not cruel!

When I could fly freely, I realised that the humans had not much intelligence or ability; it was very easy to rob them without suffering any injury from them. I took pleasure in snatching away pieces of bread and cakes from the hands of the boys even though I was not hungry. Several times I even entered the dining hall when the boys were there and took away several cutlets and cakes. I liked these very much. What was left over I distributed among my friends who did not have the courage to enter the dining hall.

My mother was a very wise lady. She had seen much of the world and had much experience. After seeing several parts of the world she had decided to settle down once for all in Loyola compound. She used to tell me, “You cannot find, my dear boy, such generous and gentlemanly boys as the Loyola boys in any other place. Don’t go anywhere else but remain in Loyola always.”

But I disobeyed her and I paid dearly for it. One day after an exceptionally good lunch—for it was a feast day for the boys I was trying to have a nap. One of the new boys who had just come to Loyola and who had not been tamed by Loyola, picked up a stone and threw at me. It hit me on my head and caused much pain, angry and decided to leave Trivandrum. My mother had gone to Nagercoil to visit a relation of hers. Without even waiting for her return I left Loyola.

Then began my sorrows. I suffered much from hunger, thirst, illness, abuses and insults, assaults and much stone throwing. I wandered from place to place. Quilon, Alleppey, Kanjirapally, Ernakulam, Calicut, Cannanore etc.

During these years of wandering and suffering I came to realize the nature of the humans. Most of them are selfish and ungrateful. We crows compared to their pets like parrots and mynas, do much good to humans. We keen the surroundings of their houses clean, and we are not rewarded in anyway. We don’t do any harm to any body. Still they seem to have a contempt and dislike for us. Their boys, in general, except the present Loyola boys, whenever they see a crow, will throw stones at it. because we are black that we are hated and despised ? The humans have a proverb— “All that glitters is not gold.” They should have another proverb which is more true “All that is black is not dirt.”

Is it

But I am philosophising. I must go back to my story. For about six months I stayed at Alleppey in a Jesuit school. I liked the food, especially the fish I got there, and the companions l had there. But the water was dirty. I was very particular of having a bath everyday in clean water. I needed flowing water of a river or a canal. Tap water gives me a cold and there are no rivers in Alleppey ; and as for the canals, even the crows born and bred in Kuttanad found the canal water of Alleppey too dirty. In addition to this there were mosquitoes. I got an attack of filariasis after six months of my stay there. So I left the place.

After trying various other places I came to St. Xavier’s College, Thumba. The place was clean and there was food in abundance. The people were very refined and the sea breeze was very invigorating. I stayed there eight months. But in summer, dur­ing the day, it was very hot and the glare of the sun affected my eyes.

All this time my mother was searching for me, but could not find me. Ulti­mately one of my cousins who accidentally met me at the Thumba Rocket Station told her about my stay at St. Xavier’s. Though she was old and infirm she flew all the way to St. Xavier’s, and begged me to return to Loyola. At first I refused, but she appealed

78

i

to my filial obligation to look after her in her old age. She told me that the boy who had hurt me had left the school, and that all the present boys were perfect gentlemen. So I returned.

Now I am back again in Loyola. I am getting old and the usual ailments of middle age, arthritis, blood-pressure and diabetes have begun to trouble me. But I am very happy. I don’t move about much. Still there is no trouble in getting food for me and my mother. There are three monkeys in Loyola, one of whom I had known well at Alleppey. The humans love these monkeys very much, may be because the monkeys were their ancestors. Everyone gives them food, fruits, sweets, cakes etc. Since the monkeys are my friends they allow me to take as much as I want for me and my mother. We are leading a satisfied life in Loyola and we have realized that there is no place like Loyola.

Believe It or NotR. Ramesh Kumar, Std. VI B

iOjNE day we went to our grandfather’s house. When it was evening, we all sat outside around our grandfather. We asked him to tell us a story. He looked at

us and said, “You see, I don’t know any story now. I am very old and I don’t know any stories now. But any way let me think. If I find any story deep in my memory I shall tell you. Then he closed his eyes and thought for a while. After a moment he opened his eyes and said, “Do you want to hear a true story or a fairytale?’’ We said that we want to hear a true story. Then he thought again and said, “I know a story that is true, but you will not believe it. Any way here it is.” And thus he began his story.

“My grandfather, that is, your great great grand­father, owned a lot of land. Nearly every week, he used to go to his land and inspect the work that was being done in cultivating paddy. One day he went to his field. There was no work being done at the end of

the field, so, he went to the other end of the land and inspected the work. Satisfied, he was about to return, when he saw something moving at the other end of the field. He went closer. Then he saw a huge cobra entwined on the top of a bush. It was spreading his hood up in a majestic way. Its beady eyes were looking about here and there. On the hood of the snake, as if somebody had drawn it, there was a dark large V. Its forked tongue shot out now and then. It was looking on the ground below in a frightened way.

&

i-.V

iMy grandfather was curious to know what the snake was afraid of. So he too

looked at the ground. Then he saw it — a mongoose! It was brown in colour and its eyes were glittering and red. It looked savagely at the snake, its bitter enemy. It was going round and round the bush trying to find a suitable position from which it could .jump at the snake. But the snake followed the movements of the mongoose with its eyes. My grandfather withdrew behind a tree and wanted to know how it all ends. Then the mongoose jumped up and tried to catch at the head of the snake. But just at

81

that time the snake ducked and the mongoose went over it. Then again he jumped and the same thing happened. This happened many times. Then the mongoose knew that he could not catch the snake. After that the mongoose went slowly round the bush. The snakes eyes were on the mongoose. Suddenly it disappeared. Then after some time he came with the king of the mongoose who was red. The red mongoose caught the snake and killed it. He shrieked a cry of victory which pierced the still afternoon- air. Then jumping on the other mongoose it rode away victorious.

“Well, this is an incident that really happened. You may believe it or not”' concluded grandfather. We too believed it, but deep in our hearts we had our own. doubts.

A Great Priest PoetVijay Abraham, Std. IX

:

iAN a priest be a poet? Can a poet become a priest? Gerard Manley Hopkins proved that the answer to both these questions is an emphatic, ‘Yes*. He was a

poet already in his youth and some of his best poems he wrote after becoming a Jesuit and a priest.

Ask any scholar in English Literature to name a Jesuit whose achievement is likely to last. The almost immediate reply will be Gerard Manley Hopkins. He is considered to be the greatest priest-poet who has ever written in English. In several universities the study of his work for doctoral theses has become common. There have been innumerable studies on individual poems of his, and his poems are often prescribed for studies in colleges and schools. (The present ninth standard students of Loyola School will have to study him for their I. S. C. Examination in 1970). Who was this man ?

Gerard, the eldest of nine children, was born at Stratford, Essex, England on 28th July 1844. In 1860

at Highgate Grammar School he won the poetry prize. In 1863 he went toBalliol College, which was at that time also one of the most famous colleges of Oxford. There he read Classics and graduated in 1867 securing a ‘double first, and the sobriquet “Star of Balliol’*. In October of the previous year he had given up his allegiance tc the Church of England and had been received into the Roman Catholic Church by Doctor Henry Newman (Later Cardinal Newman).

Soon after his becoming a Catholic, Hopkins wanted to join a religious order. After wavering for sometime between the Benedictine Order and the Jesuit Order, he chose the latter. On hearing of his decision to become a member of the Society of Jesuit, Newman wrote to him : “Don’t call the Jesuit discipline hard; it will bring you to Heaven.*’ Hopkins entered the Jesuit Novitiate at Manresa House, near London, on September 7, 1868. Before he entered the Novitiate he had burned all the poems he had already written in accordance with his earlier decision “to give up all beauty” until he should have God’s leave for it.

c

/I| -

83

'

During this first years of formation as a Jesuit he wrote very little. How he came to resume his poetry he relates in a letter to one of his friends.

“What I had written I burnt before I became a Jesuit and resolved to write no more, as not belonging to my profession, unless it were by the will of my superiors ; so for seven years I wrote nothing but two or three little presentation pieces which occasion called for. But when in the winter of 1875 the Deutschland was wrecked in the mouth of the Thames and five Franciscan nuns, exiles from Germany by the Falck Laws, aboard of her were drowned, I was affected by the account and happened to say so to my Rector. He said that he wished someone would write a poem on the subject. On this hint I set to work and, though my hand was out at first, produced one.”

This poem was followed by other poems. In 1877, his third and last year in theology, he wrote some of his happiest and most delightful lyrics including “The Windhover”, which he himself considered as the best that he ever wrote.

After his ordination to priesthood in September 1877, he had a variety of ap­pointments in London, Lancashire and Liverpool. The sermons he preached in these places have recently been printed. Following a period of teaching Latin and Greek at Stonyhurst College, he was appointed to the Chair of Greek at University College, Dublin. There in Ireland he spent his last years during which he produced “Some of the most profoundly religious poems ever written in English, the so called ‘terrible’ sonnets in which his lonely, restless and self-critical spirit struggles for peace, patience and an ultimate escape from self.” He died in Dublin on June 8, 1889, from typhoid fever, at the age of forty-five.

Most of his poems remained in manuscript until 1918 when his friend Robert Bridges, the English Poet Laureate, edited and published them. Since then there have been several editions of his poems, and the most outstanding literary critics have hailed him as asubject matter.”

major poet “both for his brilliant craftsmanship and consummate handling of his

During his life Hopkins refused to stir a finger towards publishing, or allowing his poems to be published. He thought that such action would be a kind of treason. To him personal fame was a plague to be shunned, for Christ was his model and master. He succeeded so well in escaping fame that the people around him did not know till 1918, when his poems were first published by Bridges, that among them.lightful sense of humour. But from 1918 his name began to be known and, as days went by, his fame grew in degree and extent. A fellow Jesuit of his said that Hopkins’ epitaph might fittingly read. “Doomed to succeed by failure.” There can be no worthier claim for one who was a follower of Jesus of Nazareth, whose glorious Resurrection followed His death on the Cross.

My ImprisonmentLal Kesavan, Std. IV A

;

T was dawn. The morning breeze which came through the window made me happy. The birds were chirping and were about to fly away in search of food. I still lay on

the bed. As usual my mother came to wake me. She said “Lal, get up. It’s high time you got up. You have to clean your teeth, bathe and arrange your books. Get up soon”. But as I was feeling sick I said, “Mother, I think I am not well. You please touch my forehead and see whether I am having fever. Mother felt my forehead and found that I was suffering from fever. She told me to lie in bed and not to go to school. My mother is a teacher in a school. As on other days, she went to school at 8.30 a.m. and returned home only at about 4.30 p m. Till then I lay quiet in my bed.

When mother returned from school, she first came up to me to see whether I WrtS still in bed. When she touched me she felt that I was having high fever. Not only that, she noticed two or three marks on the back of my neck. She was quite worried because she feared that I had chicken-pox In the evening a doctor was called and he said that it was chicken-pox. Mother saw to it that I was kept away from every­one. Everything in my room was removed except a table and a chair. The doctor told mother how she should look after me. My mother took leave for a few days and did everything for me.

The next day more marks were found and on the third dav my body was covered with them. I could not sleep because of the pain and itching. I called my mother every now and then. She swept mv body with the neem leaves in order to prevent itching. She was very careful in giving medicine every hour.

I could not see my brother and sisters, or any one in the house except my mother and the doctor. After four or five days* pain I slowly began to get better. But

the doctor said that I could not go from my room. I could not see or talk to my brother or sisters or read a book. I felt very lonely and felt that I was in jail. How I wished to play with my brother and sisters. For fifteen days I was thus put up in a room. On the fifteenth day, the doctor said that I could have a bath. After the bath in the warm water I felt little fresh and was very eager to play with the others. But the doctor said I had to rest for ten days. That is, I could not mix with others for another ten days. My mother looked after me well. In these twenty-five days I was given oranges and fruits to my fullest satisfaction. Everyone in the house was kind to me. But I wished to run and play so much with others. On the twenty-fifth day when I was set free how glad I was. I embraced everyone. I was so excited that I pushed and beat my brother and sisters. They also embraced me. We forgot ourselves in the joy of playing together after a long lime.

DREAMVinod Joseph, Std. V A

'T'HE clock struck four in the morning. I jumped out of bed. I found that my Jl mother and even my little brother had woken up quite early. I hurried myself

and cleaned my teeth and had my breakfast. We were going by plane to Malayasia to our relatives for a visit. We were ready by half past six and off we were in a taxi to the aerodrome. We were there just in time to catch the plane. We entered the plane. My brother’s seat was close to mine. The air hostess came to me and asked me whether I would like to have a cup of coffee. I said “Thank you madame”.

An Unforgettable AccidentShibu Jacob, Std. IV A

T was a fine day during the mid-summer holiday the 22nd of August 1968. We started off from our home in Trivandrum to Madras in a brand new Standard car.

We are a small family of Mummy, Daddy, Shani, Shinu and myself. Daddy and Mummy were seated in the front seat and we little ones at the back seat. The car went at a great speed and we saw many things flying past like the many pages of a coloured book. Fields, temples, churches and many beautiful scenes were seen on either side of the road. We ate a lot and enjoyed every minute of the drive. Soon Mummy took over the wheel and everything was quiet! quiet!. Suddenly we heard a screeching noise, a sudden jerk and the car was thrown to a nearby field. The new car was over turned and even I was trembling and crying with fear. A doctor and his servant went that way. They were kind to us and pulled us out of the mud. We were taken to the doctor’s house. There we bathed and changed our clothes and af er supper

we returned to Trivandrum. Our lives were saved by God. Thus ended our day m e'e unforgettable by the accident.

Report of the Activities of the Interact Club

for the Year 1967—'68

Rev. Fr. Principal, President Rotary Club, President Interact Club and dearfriends,

As Secretary of this Club it is my pleasant duty to present before you a report on the activities of this Club for the year 1967—1968. This Club was officially inaugu­rated on the 28th of August, 1967 by Rotarian C. G. G. Panicker the President of the Rotary Club of Trivandrum.

For the first six months we were not able to do much work. The Kitchen Garden on which we began work could not be completed due to some inconveniences.

One of our activities this year was conducting a lottery for collecting funds for the School Library. Our target was Rs. 500/- but we were able to collect Rs. 328/- only. Our thanks go especially to Fr. Paikeday our Vice-Principal for all the troubles he has taken for getting the tickets printed and later, for selecting some of the books for the library. Our thanks are also due to the Principal for the co-operation extended to us by him to make this lottery a success.

At the last meeting of the Club we decided to give a football to a local Club. We have also decided to give a monthly scholarship to the best student from one of the local schools.

The election of the new office bearers was held on the 10th September. George Zachariah was elected President, Jacob Abraham, Vice-President ; Ranjan Kanthy, Secretary; K S. Shyam, Treasurer; Abraham Varghese, Regunath and Mohan Chandra were elected Members of the Board.

In conclusion I must say this year had been one of great importance and fame for the Club. l astly we thank all the Rotarians, Members of the Interact Club and the Management of the School who have co-operated with us to make this year a memorable one
