The Newsletter of Bishop Cotton School, Shimla Vol. 2, October-December, 2014 The Newsletter of Bishop Cotton School, Shimla Vol. 2, October-December, 2014 Nine years ago, I entered this institution and read “Give us boys and we will give back men,” and yes it is true, Bishop Cotton School continues to strive to give back men of character, honour, and integrity and a strong will, since 155 years. Anyone brought up in these ancient tradition and especially those of the Tom Boy Old School Days, which Bishop Cotton School is known for, instills in him a hunger for perfection. He becomes a person who leaves no stone unturned for turning his ways towards success. The students of Bishop Cotton School with tinctures of restful participated in the challenging sport of Boxing.

The topic for the lecture was “India Explodes A Hiroshima On the Bayliss front a lot of, Inter-House and Inter-School Every Day On The Roads-Reasons, Results, Remedies”. As the Hardik Goyal activities took place in this term. The debating team toured topic was grasped by everyone, each student paid rapid attention Student Editor'14 many schools and debated in different scenarios. Although we as the key note speaker and the distinguished panelists did not lift any trophy, it served as a great place to expose the raw explained the various problems that were in the Indian talent and strengthen the debating strong hold. The one act play roadways system. This year we went one step further and invited competition was followed by Hindi Elocution and Inter-School a French journalist among the panelists of the lecture. Hindi Debate. It seems to us the school is climbing places, in every sphere. The In the annual inter school B.L.Modi Elocution, the school scorching summer heat was being replaced by a particular chill contingent lead by Yashvardhan Singh, yet again, managed to in the air. And we are all set, “to stand foursquare to every wind claim the first position overall. that blows” in the future as well. Coming back to sports scenario, the school once again Yash Vardhan Singh School Captain-2014 THE HEADMASTER, SCHOOL CAPTAIN YASHVARDHAN SINGH AND SCHOOL VICE-CAPTAIN ANKIT GONGAL, RECEIVING THE AWARD FOR THE COUNTRY'S BEST BOYS BOARDING SCHOOL-2014 1 The Newsletter of Bishop Cotton School, Shimla Vol. 2, October-December, 2014 The Second Term started on a disappointing note as the 'men in red' had been accustomed to winning everything in the First Term. After a second place in Football and Swimming, we got back to our winning ways by bagging the Boxing and Table Tennis Cups for the second consecutive year. Shubham Hissaria was rewarded for his coldblooded defeat of the Best Boxer with the PS. Sawhney Award for the Most Scientific Boxer for the year. A new year did not change the fortunes of the Gymnastics and PT Display Cup as Curzon House won the Cup for the second consecutive year. Rahul Mahendru was adjudged as the 2nd best gymnast in school, narrowly missing out on the first place by a mere point. Although things didn't turn out as we would have liked it in Shooting and Squash, the house capitalized on a brilliant run of performances to win the Athletics Cup for the fourth year in the running. Rahul Mahendru was aptly adjudged as the Best Athlete and the Ludorium. On the Bayliss extracurricular front, the house continued its excellent run in the English and Hindi elocutions by also winning the English One Act play after performing a political thriller “The Swiss Job”. Mohit Mahendru and Ankit Gongal were awarded the Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor respectively. After an embarrassing show in the Hindi Debates, Curzon House bounced back with a second place in the Western Music Competition and by winning the Hindi One Act Play having performed a satirical comedy “Raja ka Baaja”. Akshaye Ahuja was awarded the Best Supporting Actor while Mohit Mahendru and Ankit Gongal shared the Glancy Dramatics Prize for the best actor for the year. With the Grindlays Games Curriculum Cup having been comfortably won by Curzon House with more than a few games left, it provides great satisfaction to those who have been associated with both the high and lows of this rollercoaster ride. The Bayliss Shield isn't exactly far from our grasp and it remains to be seen as to whether Curzon House does a rare job of asserting their dominance on all three possible fronts; Academics, Bayliss and Games in addition to winning the Cock House. Ankit Gongal (School Vice-Captain)'14 Mohit Mahendru (Curzon House Captain)'14 It can be told to all with candor that never before had any house revived from failures and loss that the 'Tigers' did. Finally, their hard work and perseverance paid off landing them in commendable rungs. To be quite brief, the house won acclaims and laurels in every sphere. In the trying sport of shooting, the precise shots by the house shooters rightly landed them in the first position. In Squash, the players played their parts bringing home the Squash Cup. About, everything that happens is not totally anticipated. The strong boxers fought hard and got us the runners up position. The muscular gymnasts too fought hard to bag the 2nd position. The wonderful play of feathers in Shankar Hall got lbbetson House the acceptable 2nd position. Yet, we shall not sideline or underplay the one-act plays. While in the English One-Act Play we stood third, heart filling rejuvenation took place when our dedicated performance got us the 2nd position in the Hindi One-Act Play. The best actor in a female role heading also went to Divyanshu Sangwan. The continuous and flinching support of Mr. Dinesh Thakur, House Master and Yuvraj Singh Seemar would continue to inspire and nurture the young kindred. Yuvraj Singh Seemar (House Captain)'14 As we rejoined the school after a long break of 15 days, all the Lefroyans were geared up for the approaching sports. Due to the efforts put in by our House Captain G.S. Makkar and Tejan Gill (Soccer Vice-Captain) we were able to clinch the Soccer Cup. Later on Tejan Gill was awarded the best forward and Mehar Bhangoo the best goalkeeper and G.S. Makkar won the Man of the Match of the finals of the 4th Annual Bishop Cotton School Soccer Tournament 2014. K. Nayyar, T. Verma, Y.Sonthalia and G. Gulati were also selected for the school soccer team. The Main School contributed heavily towards this huge achievement. As the swimming proficiency and finals were approaching us , we could not perform well despite the efforts put in by Ayush Banik who broke the 2 length free style record. We also won the Badminton Cup due to the efforts of N.S.Khaira and H.Yadav. We were ranked 2nd in Squash. S. Singla, M.Bhangoo and N.S.Khaira contributed a lot for the achieving of this rank.
