A memorable golden jubilee reunion

On January 26, a grand reunion of students from the 1975- 1976 batch of the Seventh Day Adventist School in Vepery was held on the campus. The high-voltage nostalgia-filled event saw former students reliving their youth by recalling the carefree days spent at the school, sharing old jokes and secrets, and reminiscing about childhood indulgences, said a press release.

Sekhar Pichamani, principal of the SDA School, said the institution continues to remain at the forefront of both academics and character building.

As the reunion took place on Republic Day, Anbalagan, the favourite mathematics teacher of the two batches and the guest of honour, emphasised the sanctity and significance of India being declared a “Sovereign, Democratic Republic” and the freedoms that extended to every citizen and the duties that placed on them.

Representing the SDA Alumni, David Appasamy, a distinguished advertising professional and communication guru, thanked the school for being not only a great academic centre but also for moulding character, making its students not merely successful men and women in their chosen walks of life, but also worthy citizens.

David underlined that the school laid a strong foundation in communication skills, while sharing evergreen lighter moments, childhood pranks and old school jokes that brought the roof down with loud laughter, added the press release.

The SDA Alumni Reunion Committee included R.S. Rajan, Aslam, Panneerselvam and Mahendra Jain, who had planned every detail meticulously for over a month, the press release said.
