35 Years-Nothing's Changed

Today was the big 35th class reunion of the Loreto Catholic Girls School. The school building has a very significant history, dating back to the mid 1700's. My imagination doesn't quite reach back that far.

We have seen many old buildings, mostly social clubs still set in the rooms first organized by the British in the 18th and 19th century. For the most part these buildings are clearly showing their age. This is not true for the Loreto Catholic School. No scaling or peeling walls, fresh paint all around, and uncracked tiling cleaned and polished.

From 3rd to 10th grade Bindu and Anu entered the door behind them. Inside is a central courtyard with 3 story classroom buildings spread across a significant area. Today there was a service in the hall where services have been held for more than a hundred years. It didn't take much singing or talking to bring the assembled former students to tears.
