WE ARE SMARTER THAN THE 7 TH GRADERS

Blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis etc are problems that many old people face. But that didn't deter the spirits of these BOYS.

1 st and 2 nd November was a red letter day for the batch of 1960. These BOYS now grown-up men (some even grandfathers) along with their better halves were awe-struck at the sight of their alma mater ‘Don Bosco Matunga. This reunion which was in the works for over a year began with a meeting in the Rector's office. The past pupils shared their cherished memories and their present well-being. Most of them mentioned Fr. Mc Farren Fr. Casarotti and other Salesians of good old memory. Engineers, Doctors, Managers, Colonel, Teacher.etc were some of the men who were once upon a time Bosco boys. It was surprising to see that they managed to even get their history teacher Mr. V.R Sonalkar, who shared his views on the need for quality education today. The Rector then briefed them on the present scenario of Don Bosco Mumbai. The BOYS assembled in the 7 th C classroom to relive the past memories. Fr. Crispino the Principal addressed the past pupils in the 7 th C classroom and gave them the latest updates of the new trends for education that are being implemented in Don Bosco Matunga. After a small tour of the campus and an explanation of the new developments of the campus, the get-together culminated with a fellowship meal.

The next day the BOYS played a game of cricket although the attendance was not the same as the previous day. They then had an audience with the Provincial. Speaking to them, Fr. Michael told them that Don Bosco Matunga was not just their alma mater where they learnt lessons for life, but a home where they can return to whenever they felt like. A prayful visit to the shrine of Don Bosco's Madonna which was being built during their school days culminated the reunion.

This meeting was just a curtain-raiser to ‘The Golden Reunion' which they hope to hold in 2010. This reunion was co-ordinated by Mr. Ashok Tannan and Mr. Prakash Mahadkar.
