Then came a round of singing, and some of the pupils and staff were quite misty-eyed at the choice of songs.A sumptuous tea was served and this was followed by a session of photography. Cameras flashed as pupils scrambled to take photographs or get photographed with their friends and

teachers. More songs followed and at last it was time for the festivities to end. The pupils got into line for the last time on the fifth floor, ready to be dispersed by their teachers.

not the reward. She also reiterated that what Garden High really wants is to help shape good human beings, not mere top-rankers.

The next item was an English one-act play that has never failed to delight audiences: The Dear Departed by S. Houghton. It portrays human greed – two daughters squabbling over the possessions of their supposedly dead father. The father rises, learns of the designs of his daughters, and shocks everyone except the granddaughter by announcing his decision to get married again. Among the actors, Shinjan as the Grandfather deserves special mention.Cast: Roshni Srimany 7B, Maninee Maity 8D, Dorothy Deb 10A, Rohit Chakraborty 10A, Sagnik Sarkar 10A, and Shinjan Mitra 12ADirector: Mrs K. GuhaProps-in-Charge: Ruchira Singh 9B

When: 2 & 3 May 2011Where: Kalamandir

The same programme was presented on both evenings. It began with a musical piece – The Journey Begins – composed and dedicated to the Pro-Rector, Mrs K. Guha, by Mr A. Haldar. Accompanied by Mr V. M. Redden (guitar), and three pupils, Shinjan Mitra 12A, Bhaswar Faisal Khan 12A (outgoing), and Kausheyo Roy 10B, the composer played it himself on the synthesizer.With the strains of this music providing a background, the ceremonial lamp was lighted by the Founder-Rector, Mr I. Guha.The inaugural dance was appropriately Ganesh Vandana. This brief Odissi piece, graceful and solemn, was an invocation of and homage to the divine power that blesses and oversees all human endeavour. The young dancers did justice to the theme.

Halder

After the songs, there was a special announcement. The audience was reminded that the late Satikanta Guha had always been very particular about observing Rabindra Jayanti, and so far GHS had never failed to observe the Poet’s birthday. But this year compelling circumstances had forced the School to close for the summer vacation before 9 May, and so the programme that was to follow was intended to be an early but special homage to Rabindranath on his 150th birth anniversary. Entitled Phollo Sadhan Holo Badhan Kshoy, it was a miscellany of scenes from the play Acholayatan, and various skits, rhymes, and songs. Combining elements of satire, farce, and humour, they represent the Poet’s opinion of the conventional systems of education.Cast: Atreyo Palit 7D, Kritartho Biswas 7E, Lagnajit Pradhan 7E, Rohitashya Mitra 7E, Abhinandan Mondal 7F, Dharitri Chaudhuri 7F, Kopai Chakra-borty 8D, Sneha Chatterjee 8E, Sagnik Dutta 9C, Siddhartha Haldar 9C, Chandramantha Sen 9D, Dhee Majumdar 10A, Shaurja Bhattacharyaa 10A, Sukanya Bhattacharya 10A, Soumyadeep Das 10B, Aniket Banerjee

Then came four dances based on four Indian classical dance forms: Manipuri, Kathak, Bharatnatyam, and Odissi. The costumes were immaculate, and all the performers

deserve praise for the confidence with which they executed difficult movements. They had been well trained.The Manipuri began with Raas Leela – Lord Krishna in a playful mood with Radha and her gopinis – and concluded with the traditional dance with drums – Pungcholam.
