Background to "delicious" painting

A few days ago I described this picture as delicious.

Cathedral Boys School 1900

Cathedral School - 1900


Here is the background to this picture as explained to me by 56er HS Uberoi, Savage House Captain, School Captain and someone who has three generations association with our school. His grandkids are presently in school!

Jacob, in a recent update you have put up some very pretty pictures of the school. An interesting backgrounder of the one you have captioned "delicious".

This one, and an identical one, coloured as the school is, were commissioned by the Alumni Association in 1985. I was President then and it was also the 125th anniversary of the school. We presented it to the school principal, then, Eric Simeon, at the Founders Day Dinner that year at the Taj.

It was hung after that in the principal's study.

I will ferret out a photograph of the occasion and send it to you one of these days.

The other one, was also presented to the school sometime later and it was last seen hung in the school library.

Thank you again,

Ubi


Please send me photos of events that represent your participation in school events - as there are thousands of people out there wanting to know more about our "unofficial" school history!
