Mangaluru, Jan 20: The annual Aloysian Alumni Reunion at the St Aloysius High School Grounds on January 12 turned out to be a grand extravaganza with fun music, singing, dancing and games and culminated with a sumptuous dinner. Much more than that it turned out to be an evening of renewing memories and reliving the grand old student days.

It was a special event coming at a time when St Aloysius College with its glorious and inspiring history of 147 years was heading for the grand 150 years jubilee in 2030. One could see Aloysians long passed out from the corridors of the college reconnecting with old classmates, sharing hostel stories and laughing over pranks of their school days and resuming conversations as if no time has passed away at all. Indeed, meeting at ones Alma mater that taught more than lessons from text books was in itself unique and memorable.

The Edmund Frank convener welcomed the gathering that consisted of former students and their families, retired and present staff members, Jesuit Fathers, friends, well-wishers, benefactors and sponsors numbering over 500. Anil Kumar, SACAA president addressed the gathering.

Fr Melwin Pinto, rector in his presidential address spoke about the expansion plans of the college.

Dr Reji John anchored the show very well to everyone’s applause. The music band Alpha Rythms was in attendance and kept the audience on their toes. Conrad Nazareth proposed the vote of thanks.
