And indeed shown on the boards in the dining hall.

May the departed soul rest in peace.

You, consequently, recognised their sporting abilities. They obviously, based on Behram Irani’s brief account, made their mark in life.

It would be useful if the OCA or others who knew them could, very kindly, post their photographs with an account of their lives. That will offer enduring memories of Cottonians who did their alma mater proud and even indicate the standard of product that the institution produced!!
Our earnest prayers for Mr Kirschner and while the name will linger in our memories, may He take him in His arms one more of our own.
Our condolences to the family

They were like giants to us then little fellows. There were some very senior boys, like these two brothers & Ruskin Bond, in the Headmasters house upstairs, in 1950. They occupied one room & we the youngest ones, another room.
They were remarkably good, both in sports & academics. May the departed soul rest in eternal peace.
(I also remember B. D. Irani. Can you give me his contact please – of course with permission from him).
