Friends started arriving by 9.30 and the teachers came by 10. We were so glad to be among our teachers and we kept sharing our good old memories with every teacher we met. I am sure my friends would comment on what I write..... Arthy and Sabi please add your comments.... as I am not an expert in writing.
We had invited about 25 of our friends and 23 teachers. 9 teachers could not make it but had given us their blessings and good wishes over the phone. I must mention their names : Sr. Pauline, Mrs. Eula, Mrs. Pristina, Mrs. Annie, Mrs. Rita, Mrs. Findly, Mrs. Teresa, Mrs. Fancisca, Mrs. Berna, Ms. Margaret. It was really disappointing when 10 of our friends did not turn up. All of us were really upset but we just decided to have fun and enjoy the day with our teachers. 3 of our batch mates are currently teachers at our very own MCC. They are Raji, Sheeja Leon and Icy Fernandes.
Anne was the MC for the day and she did a good job at it. The agenda was as follows:
* Moment of silence to remember Our Dear Sr. Patricia and Our Every Loving Linette.
* Floral Welcome by our kids for the Guests and Teachers.
* Rekha presenting the Rolling Trophy in Memory of Sr. Patricia to Mrs. Babu and Mrs. Babu handing it over to Sr. Angel Mary.
* Welcome Speech by Sr. Angel Mary.
* Indu presenting the Souvenirs to Our Dear Teachers.
* Mrs. Babu speaking about 89 Batch.
* Anita Andrade speaking on behalf of the Seniors.
* Sr. Sheena : Vote of Thanks
We were honored and privileged to have 4 Stars from the 86 Batch. I remember calling them the previous night and they readily accepted the invitation and also offered to help us and above all congratulated and motivated us for taking this great step. They were Binu Priya (Head Girl), Anita Andrade (Blue House Prefect), Ajith Hussain (Green House Prefect) and Deepa Chandran (Red House Prefect). Binu bought us a cake as a token of love and appreciation. Cake Cutting by 89 girls were next on the agenda. THANK YOU SENIORS!
We did a Presentation with messages/photos from our batch mates but unfortunately could not complete it as our Teachers had to leave for the Annual General Body Meeting of the Anglo Indian Association.
