After so many years, more than half the faces I could place. Well done 1961!
I would, as an experienced(!) Golden Jubilarian from 1956, suggest that you all leave behind at BCS some little Memorial to your Golden Jubilee get together, preferably in consultation with the HM. I’m sure you’d agree that if all batches were to do this year after year, the School would be that much richer!!
In appreciation, and with every good wish for you and your families.

We should all work together to make this annual effort as successful as possible, no matter which Batch’s Golden Jubilee it is. Of course, the OCA, as a nodal body, should always be ready to extend all the logistical help that it can, and even should.

In the ultimate analysis, it has got to be the Golden Jubilee chaps concerned themselves who should begin the homework in time, appoint a suitable coordinator, and push enthusiastically, in collaboration with the HM and the OCA. It’s no small reward to be meeting up with more than half your childhood playmates after a full 50 years. Quite honestly, we of 1956, have still not gotten over the nostalgia of 2006, when 16 of us couples, and a few singletons, spent such lovely and memorable three days together, reliving our past in our hallowed surroundings.
In passing, the HM, who was himself so full of participation, would remember us conduct ourselves like Cottonians of yore, and to have left behind more than we carried away.

So, now the 1962 wallahs need to get to work as fast as they can! All good wishes from the Batch of 1956.

Fraternally,
GP
