Written by Lalit Sinha

Boys’ High School (BHS) and College reigned supreme at the two-day inter-institutional cultural funfest, ‘Fiesta 2008’, which concluded here on Tuesday. The Flynn Hall of the BHS, jampacked with boys and girls as well as the principals and teachers of the participating schools, reverberated with long joyous cheers, as the HTS was the first runners-up while Saint John’s Academy (SJA) was the second runners-up in the cultural and games events.

    The inter-institutional cultural and games meet was formally inaugurated by Mr. C V Innes, MLA and Principal of the Boys’ High School & College. In his short and inspiring speech he welcomed the participants and encouraged them. He stressed on the importance of interaction amongst the students to fully explore and harness their hidden talents.
   Referring to the motto BHS—Mentem Hominis Spectato Non-Fontem, he emphasized that one should not be judged by his appearance but by his deeds. He said that participation in cultural and games events go a long way in developing the overall personality of an individual which stand him in good stead to meet future challenges.
   In all, six educational institutions, including the host participated in the various competitive events like elocution, quiz, dumb charades, collage, solo singing, group singing, face painting, Kim’s game, extempore speech, painting, model display, skits and fancy dress at the two day cultural funfest. The other participating schools were Holy Trinity School (HTS), St. John’s Academy (SJA), Girls’ High School (GHS) & College, Mary Lucas School (MLS) & College and Delhi Public School (DPS).
   The two-day funfest came to an exciting end with the prize distribution ceremony on Tuesday. Mrs. D. Innes, headmistress of Holy Trinity School gave away the prizes.
