There is a tradition in every school that
the junior students give a farewell to the senior-most and outgoing students.
Every student who begins a school life must end it one day. I had studied in
this school for six years. During my stay in the school I had learnt to respect
and love every aspect of my school.
My teachers had meant so much as they gave
me guidance at the most needed hour. I had been in the company of good and
helpful friends. And then, our XII class was given a farewell party by the XI
class students. The hour to leave all of them had come.
It was indeed with a heavy heart that I thought
of the breaking ties. Though this hour is sad, yet the last day in the school
is made a memorable occasion for the students who are leaving to take their
final Board Examinations.
Our Board Examinations were scheduled to be
held in the month of March. The Principal had announced two weeks preparatory
holidays in February He also announced the farewell party to be held on 27th of
the month.
The function was to be organised by the XI
class students under the supervision of their class teacher. Each one of us was
given an invitation card for the party by our juniors. We had been asked to
reach the school half an hour before the actual time.
On their invitation we reached the school
at 2.30pm. Our juniors had organised a grand send off. They had beautifully
decorated the audiotorium with buntings and balloons. On the stage there were
our honourable Principal, Vice-Principal and other members of the staff. A few
rows of front seats were removed and carpets were spread. All the students sat
on the carpets.
The function was presided over by the
Principal of our school. The cultural programmers started with speeches by the
students of XI class. They then presented other programmes like songs, dances, mimicry and short hilarious skits.
Some students from both the classes recited
touching couplets and poems befitting the occasion. The students of my class
also asked for forgiveness if they had been rude to their teachers during their
stay in the school and sought their blessings for a successive career in future.
When the cultural programme was over, the
monitor of our class thanked the principal, teachers and juniors. Our teachers
gave brief speeches and gave us some helpful sermons for our future life.
Lastly, the Principal advised us some points to follow in the forthcoming
examinations.
He stressed that none should adopt unfair
means. The success of a student is assured when he prepares well for the
examinations, understands the lessons and then writes well. Then the function
came to an end.
The refreshments were served to all the
students. There was a variety of biscuits, cakes and fruits. This small party
was liked by everyone. Each student of our class was gifted a pen by the
juniors to make us remember our days in school. This was indeed a memorable day
in my life.
To
remember them in our later life we even took their mini autographs. Every one
tried to took cheerful though there was sadness in the air.
School times are the best times but this
was my last day at the school. This was the time when I learnt that nothing
lingers for long and that life demands a person to move on...
