hristmas was celebrated with the traditional CChristmas party at the end of the second term, when the bougainvillea and gul mohurs were in full bloom. At the end of it all, the teachers in charge of the social service club got together and decided to brighten up Christmas for some children in less privileged positions. Representatives from Std V to XII accom- panied by Ms Albenia Angelose and Mr Jerald visited four organizations, all institutions run for the less privileged. It was an awareness rais- ing effort, with the objective of sensitizing young minds to other realities around. Students in the school had raised money from food fairs and collection drives to be given away as charity; and this was gifted away to the inmates of the “I prayed to God to bless four institutions . them with continuing Boys’ Town, Manvila was the first stop. “I felt wisdom, and thanked Him for very sad on seeing such clever and talented children in such a sorry state”, says Yohan Philip V B.

21 School Events Sports day he forty-fifth Annual Sports Meet held on November 11,2006 started off in typical Loyola fashion with the clash among the TApollo Pioneers, the Gemini Giants, the Jupiter Jetsetters , the Sputnik Spacemen and the Rain Clouds. However, this time round the rain clouds did not prevail and Lt Colonel S Thomas of the Southern Air Command, the Chief Guest of the day, declared the meet open, setting the stage for fierce competition and some exciting individual performances. The school campus witnessed frenetic sporting activity over a three week period when the finals and heats for several athletic events were completed. On the sports day itself, short distance running races like the 100 and 200 meters sprint, and relays hogged the limelight. Events like the sackrace, palanquin race and lemon and spoon race for the tiny tots entertained parents and students alike. The competitions were predictably well fought with each competitor trying to outwit the other keeping the audience on edges. As predicted earlier ,the points tally shifted like a pendulum between AP and GG houses. It was the grand finale, the 4X100 meter for the Senior section, featuring all house captains, which decided the championship. Until this point AP was in the lead with GG close behind, but with SS winning the first position here and AP being relegated to the third position, GG secured the advantage and winning the championship with 164 points.

They are carriers of the identity of the school and also serve as role models for our current batches. Early this academic year, we set out on an ambitious project of bringing together all the school leaders of yesteryears. When we conceived of this project the idea was to use ICT to network and perhaps also go on to teleconferencing! We were very happy to see a large number of Old school leaders respond to us but we are sorry we are unable to give a shape to our idea. This year therefore we have published only five of the earliest responses to our mails. Hope you enjoy strolling through their letters as much as we did.
