Uniquely, for our Old Boys it happens during the first weekend of September. OBA Day is a day for a big family reunion. Joseph’s is home and the OBA is family. It is indeed a happy occasion for me to address the OBA family through this newsletter. As always, the OBA has been a pillar of support to the School. Old Boys have given very generously of their time, expertise and effort to start new initiatives like the Innovation Lab, the Career Talks and the Mentoring programme. They have continued with the popular OBA Buzz which helps to unearth new talent. Very generous scholarships from the OBA for needy and deserving students ensure that the Jesuit motto of “Men and Women for others” is followed in letter and spirit. The President and the Managing Committee have done much to strengthen ties across batches by conducting tournaments in golf and football for the Old Boys. There is much encouragement for our present students in the area of sports and sponsoring breakfast for our young (and hungry!) hockey boys is a gesture which has been warmly welcomed. As the years roll on, younger Old Boys have been coming forward to take up the responsibility of running the programmes and in administering the activities of the OBA. As in any family, transition comes with its share of differences in ideas, styles of working and goals. I am sure that the legacy of almost a century of yeoman service rendered by the OBA to its Alma Mater will be the guiding spirit which will ensure that the OBA works as a cohesive team, with the welfare of the School and the Old boys as its main goal. As OBA Day approaches, I wish our Old Boys all success, happy reunions, much joy and good luck in all they do. Fr. Clifford Sequeira, SJ Principal, SJBHS The Old Boys’ Association, St Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Bengaluru 12 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT My Dear Fellow Josephites, Greetings from the OBA! At the outset, I thank you for the support and encouragement we received throughout the year. This is my first year as President of the OBA and I was greatly enthused by the kind words of encouragement I received from Old Boys, quite literally, from all over the world encouraging us to make our events memorable and successful.
