The second of the 3 R's of education, is a task truly triumphant for one who is richly fed with volumes of carefully woven words of linguistic accuracy, that broaden the bandwidth of his knowledge, though ts, imagination.......... The mind speaks volumes through the written word. Our students have sifted out, from the exuberant store of amassed knowledge they possess, selected words. These words have been arranged in an articulate and intelligible sequence, giving birth to poems, articles and various pieces of resplendent written creations. A host of enterprising and enthusiastic members have made it possible for this magazine to be brought out. Grateful acknowledgement is due to the Principal, the staff editors, the studen t editors, the photo compilation team, Mr Robin Joseph for helping with photo compilation and successfully completing the Indian Language typographic work, Mr Padmakumar V.G.for assisting with compilation of content, our layout artist, Mr Rajesh, for his dexterous DTP work, and the efficient printing team at Ratnya Reprographic, Bengaluru. Each one had specific duties to perform which were fulfilled with sincerity and zeal. We hope you will enjoy reading this 54th edition of The Loyolite.
