POSTED ON BEHALF OF Allan Bapty:
It is with great joy I see our dear School’s 150th anniversary.

My great sorrow is that I am unable to be with you in these days of acknowledging the wonderful outcome of George Edward Lynch’s vision for schools to heal the wounds prevalent in his time.Tens of thousands of boys down the years have gained rich and nourishing experiences from the schools he founded, and their contribution to India from their outlook and qualities can never be measured.

My earnest prayers for our school, the boys there now and all the Staff, is that you will be inspired and strengethened to continue the best traditions which have been built up, and which have sustained our Old Boys through their lives.

May God be with you all today, and every day.

Yours sincerely,

Allan Bapty. (Rivaz 1936-38, 40-44)

Dear Vivek Bhasin

Congratulations & all good wishes to you and all OCs, who may read this message, on this wonderful and auspicious occasion. I was in school during those glorious ‘Fifties’ and the centenary celebrations & had hoped to be there in person during the sesquicentennial celebrations as well, but my daughter has pulled me out to Germany for her delivery. Good luck & God bless our good old school in Patina.

Spent first five years of schooling at bcs from 71 – 76, would have passed out with class of 1981 if had not left school midway. The early formative years at the school probably built me up more than the subsequent ones , including early college. wishnig the school and all associated with it the very best of celebrations on turning 150.

CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES DEAR SCHOOL. Here’s wishing BCS another 150 years of
glorious existense. The comming generations of OCs will love their school even more,
if thats possible, and take BCS to even greater heights.

I was in BCS more than 50 years ago, joined kinder garten in 1951 and left in 1957,
without finishing, but everything is fresh in my mind as if it was yesterday. Some of the proud moments of my life are, when i proclaim that i did my early schooling in BCS.

I will miss the celebrations as i’ll be in the USA, but will celebrate where ever i am. Wishing all those who’ll be there happiest ever celebrations.
