Excellent idea!! Some modifications may be required, however, as noted below:
1. The names of the four houses and the names of the founders of the houses are the same
2. Freddie Brown’s house as a student and when he was a teacher are different
3. I would fail on the following questions
-Who would say O Byes, O Byes listen me please”?
-Which school master was lovingly called as “Baku”
-Which master use to say:” You Zee, twos plus cotangent zeta is equal to
-Who was known as “Shanki”?
I would suggest
4. Who was the longest serving master who was also Curzon House Master and which house did his son belong to
5. Was the current OCA president part of the group, (none of whom had driving licenses) given permission by Goldie to drive a visitors Jeep parked on the first flat who then overturned the Jeep near chota Simla

Dear Sir,

It seems that now not only will the Govt of India but also the OCA will not leave us alone. They will keep on harassing us to have new and better ID cards for our good! I would like to say that I already have the following ID cards:
1-6 ICI( India) Ltd with photo & certified by HRD Manager
7) Ration card with photo
8) PAN Card
9) Medi-Claim Card
10) Passport ( Though I must confess that I’ve still to make it to even the air-port!)
11)DTC Senior Citizen Pass
12) USIS Library card
13`) Max Muller Bhawan Library Card
14) Voter ID card
15) Aadhar Crad( the mother of all cards)

Now Sir please tell me what I am going to do with this new card? If you guarantee that it will bring down the prices of essential commodities I will get one immediately.Besides Sir, you know very well that what `Jugaadus’ all Indian are! Any one ( even a Pakistani) can get any card he wants to. So I suggest a better solution to you which will make sure that only genuine OCS’ get inside the school. Please ask the school guard to give the following questionaire to all those who claim to be OCS:. All questions are compulsory and they all carry equal marks.
a) Name all the four houses of BCS
b) What is the motto of all the houses?
c) Name the founders of the houses
d) Who was Fredie Brown and what was his House?
e)Which school master was famous for saying:” O Byes, O Byes listen me please”?
f) Which school master was lovingly called as “Baku”
g) Which master use to say:” You Zee, twos plus cotangent zeta is equal to
h)Who was known as “Shanki”?
Sir, I can assure you that only a genuine OC will be able to answer these questions. Sir as my old headmaster”Goldie” would say that your idea of having a ID card for OCS’ is” BUNKUM”!

Sincerely

You only add to the headmasters insult when you say that OC’s will be issued an identity card “with a number” (!) that would facilitate their entrance to the school premises and most egregiously you say that this can be acquired for a small fee!

When you ascended to your current position, all your classmates (including me) were not only proud of and for you, but we also felt that finally there was a voice of reason representing the vision of the school we still remember, but the headmaster seems to have forgotten. Then came this unfortunate presidential decree which was unbecoming of you, my friend.

I hope the B.M who we are still proud of, will once again rise to the occasion.
