Some more Memories of the Sixties


After much cajoling Arun Shroff rummaged through his old boxes and almirahs and came across these gems.
In this age, when schools are minting money, would you believe that our school charged only Rs 100/- per month in April 1958 and Rs 120/- per month in May 1963.
Note, the first bill has been signed by Bro Fitzpatrick and the latter by Bro Morrow.
The progress report too has been signed by Bro Fitzpatrick.
These bills just show that although we paid Goethals hardly anything, what it gave to us is priceless.
These papers do bring old memories rushing back.
I must congratulate Arun for having kept the papers all these years.
The photographs are all black and white of that age
I am sure these photographs will bring back pleasant memories for all those who were in school from 1953 to 1965.
I wonder what the fees are in Goethals nowadays?
Many of our old boys have asked me that question.
I would be obliged if the school could send me a recent prospectus to put on our blogg for everybody’s benefit.
It would also inform them of the procedure and time of admission nowadays
