I studied in St Francis De Sales (SFS) in Nagpur. I've heard that our school has its first female principal starting this year. The principal before this, Fr Ivan Lobo, spent nearly 30+ years in SFS starting from his schooling. I was the principal's right hand boy and blue eyed boy :-) He is a good person. I still keep in touch with him and visit him even now. He has moved to mumbai. During my first interactions with him in my school days he once told me, "I am disappointed, I expect a lot more from you. These ranks and merit lists don't matter much and with time you will realize that too. There is a lot to learn and its not just studies."
Talking about female principals, we did have a female principal for the primary section. I was kinda her blue eyed boy too :-) Then there was teacher LaxmiNarayan, who smiled and made the world smile with her. She was the blue house (to which I belonged) head mistress. Our school motto is "Dare to be wise".

Hey,

Hey Alistair,
I passed out of school in 1980 and looking at your blog and the old pictures so many old memories came rushing back. I could recognise several faces from the faculty photos that you poted from 1978. Great work there. I wish some how i would had some kind of contact with the school but i never went back to that old building in Sadar the day i passed out. Infact i am trying to contact some one in the school to get one a certificate but i can not find the right telephone number. Would you have the same by any chance. Please let me know on my email address: ssarathi05@aol.com.
Regards
Siddharth
