THE CHIEF GUEST WITH THE HEADMASTER AND THE SPONSOR |
The program was begun on a solemn note with the lighting of
the ceremonial lamp by the Headmaster, Fr.
Devraj Fernandes, the Chief Guest,
the judges and the sponsor. The Chief Guest, Mr. Wadvani eloquently addressed
the audience and the participants in particular about the difficulty posed by
public speaking, but at the same time emphasized the importance it holds in
today’s world. The Headmaster encouraged all the participants and impressed
every one of the young speakers of the importance of participating rather than
considering victories and losses. The students passionately spoke about the
balance between the need to conserve our heritage while maintaining sustained
development for the future. It was very heartening to hear so many young people
taking the dais to speak vehemently on conserving the glorious past of our
country and doing all we can to keep its traditions and culture intact. The
maturity displayed by the speakers belied the tenderness of their age. In the final analysis it was difficult to
make a judgment to determine the best speakers.
THE JUDGES |

his pleasure at hearing the young orations speak so eloquently on a topic of
such gravity. He congratulated the speakers as well as the school authorities
for organizing such a wonderful contest.
