I was invited to 3 class reunions on consecutive nights. Thursday night's reunion was organised by the class of 73/74 sixth formers, for the first time after 40 years. The old girls fetched me as my night vision is poor. It was an intimate group of 20+ attendees including teachers and former principal and we had dinner at a seaside resort.
Friday night's reunion was organised by the class of '84 celebrating their 30th anniversary and it was held in a well-known seafood restaurant. Teachers who had taught them were invited to this lovely dinner and they gave us a wooden souvenir plaque, a Tsbirt and photographs to commemorate this enjoyable evening.
Saturday was the main 53rd Alumni reunion and there were 111 tables to commemorate the school's 111th anniversary. This grand dinner was hosted in one of the largest halls in town. The class of "82 invites their teachers every year without fail and this year they gave us a light blue Tshirt as a souvenir. The theme was "We are one" and the enthusiastic rendition of the school rally testified to that. Many old boys flew in from different parts of the world for this occasion. The La Sallian spirit is very much alive and burning brightly.
