students of primary to senior classes. Dances,

regaling songs, skits, mimicry of loveable

characteristics of certain Twelfthies by juniors

were all there. Miming of social themes by

middle-level students deserves mention.

Nostalgia, however, took over when departing

school captains, Sober Thoudam and Swati

Sahrawat, took the floor. Master Sober, who

held the titles of School Band Major, Best

Student of the Year 2015 and had represented

the school as footballer in the Helsinki Cup and

Gothia Cup (Sweden), narrated some

vignettes of his unforgettable stay at the

school. His counterpart among girls, Swati, the

achiever of Best Student of the Year 2015, also

shared her bitter-sweet memories in the same

vein.

Board examinees were presented with

greetings and mementos by the Principal, the

Manager and Mrs. Alka Banga. The Principal

in his address went anecdotal and delivered

the message that students always stand to

gain from teachers if only they sincerely listen

to them and strive to follow their guidance in

practice.

NCC exploits

An exposure to professional soldiering came

the way of NCC cadets of Armourd and Air

Wings of the school on January 24th when

they attended the Prime Minister's Rally.

They were charmed by the smart, colourful

activities displayed by the cadets, which

included foreign cadets also, who came

visiting as part of Youth Exchange Programme

of the NCC. They witnessed mass PT battle

action drill which involved BMD T72 and T 90

tanks and Bofors guns as also marching of

troops from different States of India. Skills of

parasailing by cadets were the star attraction

for the Mapsians. Most thrilling for them was

the tank-ride they experienced.

The Mann School gave a memorable send off

to the outgoing Class XII by organizing a

colourful, heart-warming evening in their

honour at the Centre for Performing Arts (CPA)

on 11th February 2016.

The function, presided over by Principal Cdr.

V.K. Banga, was attended by the Manager, Mr.

Gaurav Mann, Mrs. Alka Banga and

distinguished guests. A crisp entertainment

programme was staged on the occasion by

TT players of all divisions from Buddha, Vyas

and Dayanand showed a gritty determination

to lift the championship and so played with

good skill, speed and stamina. However,

Individual credits, however, were:

Vyasa's Kunzes Dolma - Girls Champion,

Shivam Sagar of Dayanand - Senior

As the teams of Dayanand and Buddha picked

up rackets for the first clash of the competition ,

they seemed sure to land honours. And when

third rival Vyas joined the battle, the results

were almost transparent to watchers.

Buddha's Zeenat Brar (11th C) won

championship of Girls Div. while Anmol

Aggarwal of Dayanand became her

counterpart at the Junior level and Shivam

Sagar, his Housemate, was declared

champion of the Senior boys.

Housewise credits: Dayanand - I, Buddha - II.

The immensely popular mind game began with

Buddha-Vyas confrontation which once again

proved fateful for the competition. Good fight

was witnessed in almost all matches wherein

maximum victory was recorded by Vyasians.

Inter House Activities

Table TennisFeb. 9

For the students of classes VI-VIII the school

shifted to the floral environs of the Mughal

Gardens on February 18th, as if. They enjoyed

being frisked by the security staff at the entry

point. They were taken to the herbal garden

and the bonsai section and were thrilled at cool

splashing of water at the musical fountains.

Excitement was writ large on their faces when

a whole new world of tulips, lilies, dahlias and

flowers of different hues, shapes and sizes

was opened to them in the main garden.

Master Anurag Ranjan is the School Band

Major while Ms. Zeenat is an ace horse-rider

besides being Band Major.

Anurag Ranjan School Captain

He would impress upon friends to

be consistent in mannerly

bearing, to dress up smartly, to

converse comfortably in fluent English so as

to become worthy ambassadors of The Mann

School - that's how Anurag adumbrates his

priorities as he takes charge of school

captaincy.

Anurag would love to be a neurosurgeon, but

also dreams of setting up business. Quite a

studies-oriented, painstaking student, he is

no stranger to the co-curriculars. He was

runner-up in Inter House Riding and the Best

Band Major at School level. He has been

representing his House Vyas in athletics,

tennis and cross-country.

An amiable and companionable youth,

Anurag enjoys listening to music, playing on

the guitar and loves to do art work.

Ruth Zorammawii

Chhakchhuak School Captain (Girls)

She would be a neurosurgeon,

God willing, so medical stream in

academics she chose. She plays basketball,

represents her House in crosscountry, art and

drawing. She loves to read novels and to play

the guitar to satisfy the intellectual and artistic

dimensions of her personality make-up.

Studies she rates as her top priority for she

knows what it takes to become a doctor, a

surgeon at that.

A neat, decent person not given much to

words, but a good listener, Ruth does not

stand on ceremony when there is a call to

perform a dance recital or act a piece in a

play, which she did during functions such as

Farewell to the Twelfthies and the New Year

Party.

As for her agenda for her captaincy, she,

wisely enough, says that she will begin with

little things because they add up to big things.

She would encourage young friends to be

active and build character by maximum

participation in multifarious activities in order

to shape up a good future.

end of the day.

Yash has represented his House in Inter

House competitions like table tennis, cricket,

swimming, science quiz as well as art /

drawing. He is often on the stage for

conducting the morning assembly.

As Vice Captain of the school, he would

motivate students to be 'time-bound, be

academically inclined and maintain

themselves well'.

Zeenat Brar School Vice Captain (Girls)

Slim, smart, suave, wiry Zeenat

justifies her name and her

enviable bearing and attitude

give the promise that she is the right

incumbent for school vice captaincy.

A well-rounded learner who is quite active in

sports, co-curriculars and academics, Zeenat

aims at a business career ultimately. At Inter

Hose level, she has been No. 1 in horse-

riding, volleyball and basketball in the

academic sessions 2015-16 and 2016-17.

She took part in athletics as well as

crosscountry to represent her House, and

leads the School Band as Band Major.

Good at studies, Zeenat spells out her

priorities for her tenure: She will encourage

her charge to go for better discipline, more

and more participation in sports and co-

curricular activities, but to consider

concentration on studies as the Number One

objective.

We wish the new leaders Godspeed in their

constructive endeavours !
