    AUGUST EDITION AUGUST A message from class eleven-: After returning from the summer vacation, there has been a lot of enthusiasm among the class elevens as well as in the other classes too. The soccer season, the most exhilarating sports season of the year has also arrived. Not being able to reach the semi-finals of the Jackie Tournament was disappointing for us, but we must under- stand that one must learn from one’s mistakes and move on. After the Board results, we heaved sighs of relief and geared our- selves for an exciting new term. There are a lot of new faces in class and it is fun making new friends. Interacting with new people helps us to learn a lot more whether it is about a new country or the interests, hobbies and general views of another individual. Everyone is very excited about the upcoming House plays even though our first terminal examinations are round the corner. We have started pre- paring for them and hope to score good marks. All the best for the upcoming events and the rest of the year. EXCELSIOR!
