Goethals: 1979-82


Posted is a minor collection of random pictures from 79-82 ....... this was a different time for GMS...the rigorous ICSE curriculum put Goathalites under some substantial academic pressure ....the essence of the era is perhaps best captured in the following:
"As November rolled along, I remember our return to School after the Puja Holidays….not a bad stretch, considering that after "Diwali" there were just a few weeks before the finals and then the glorious winter holidays! The prospect of hitting the warm plains always seemed heavenly as the numbing cold set in and dictated the pace of life and limb. The last minute “mugging” in the “bogs” at unearthly hours (that rolled into minutes before the official rising) followed by a skimpy “brekker” and the tedious exam regimen seem unimaginable now"!
Cheers & Good Wishes!
