Two more outstanding photographs from the 59er Hasnain Chinwala / Chhaya Purwar colllection.
Can any of you calculate how many times you have run up and down these steps? And how many different circumstances? Running up for class, running down for a break to play marbles or tops, going down to attend Morning Assembly, rushing down to be the first to get to the Table Tennis tables, just going down to catch the bus home? 5 times a day, maybe 10?
I seemed to have caused a storm in a Cathedralite teapot.
Yesh (49er Yezad Kapadia) has written to the Principal to correct his intial on the Mac- / Mc-donald Medal Board from "V" to "Y"!
But more important, there seem to be two ideas about the name of the Medal itself - whether is is a Mac or a Mc Medal. The Board reads as Mc, while the Prize Distribution Leaflet says Mac!
The four winners (and my regular blog readers) whose names were on the Board, that I have addressed directly, 49er Yesh, 58er Earnest (HScer), 57er Ashok (Tony), 59er Viney have not quite answered the problem. I have asked them to look at the Medal itself - the only definite proof.
An answer is awaited as none of them seem to have the Medal readily available.
Viney plumped for Mac, as his dear sister, 62er Usha, seems to sings "Old Macdonald had a farm.." whenever, obviously, Viney tries to show his leadership around the house. :-)
I am compiling the story about the Chapel. I have valuable input, not only from the old timers in our midst, whohave given me a possible reason as to why it was sealed up, but also from the architect who discoverd the Chapel. I have some more great then and now photographs from her.
Thanks for all the input. I will have some more photos from the Hasnain Chinwala / Chhaya Purwar collection in a couple of days.
