OBA St. Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Bangalore Annual Report 2007 - 08 OBA St. Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Bangalore Annual Report 2007 - 08 On behalf of the Managing Committee of the OBA, the Rector, the Principal, Staff and Students of St. Joseph's Boys' High School, we request the presence of your family and you for the OBA Sesquicentennial Anniversary Celebrations to be held at the school from the 5th through the 7th of September 2008. 150 years for the school has been truly eventful. In this period, we changed our location once, our name twice and, last year, assisted in building a grand new set of buildings for the school. Along the way, the school has nurtured whole generations of Josephite diaspora who have done the institution proud. Several have achieved national and international fame in their chosen fields. As a school, the primary task was to prepare young children to play their roles in life with success and make them true world citizens. Every year, a fresh batch of students leaves the portals, bearing the unmistakable Josephite traits of strength of character, quiet confidence and total integrity. In honour of our reaching 150 years, the OBA has chalked out a weekend of festivities for the OBA Sesquicentennial. As alumni of the school, your presence at the celebrations will make the occasion a truly memorable one. In celebrating such a momentous occasion in our history, we would appreciate having everyone join us, whose good wishes and support have brought us this far. We do hope you take the time to make it to this grand occasion. We look forward to enjoying your company at the Sesquicentennial Anniversary Celebrations. In Faith and Toil, A.G.

On behalf of the Managing Committee of the OBA, the Rector, the Principal, Staff and Students of

St. Joseph's Boys' High School, we request the presence of your family and you for the OBA

Sesquicentennial Anniversary Celebrations to be held at the school from the 5th through the 7th of

September 2008.

150 years for the school has been truly eventful. In this period, we changed our location once, our

name twice and, last year, assisted in building a grand new set of buildings for the school. Along

the way, the school has nurtured whole generations of Josephite diaspora who have done the

institution proud. Several have achieved national and international fame in their chosen fields. As

a school, the primary task was to prepare young children to play their roles in life with success and

make them true world citizens. Every year, a fresh batch of students leaves the portals, bearing

the unmistakable Josephite traits of strength of character, quiet confidence and total integrity.

In honour of our reaching 150 years, the OBA has chalked out a weekend of festivities for the OBA

Sesquicentennial.

As alumni of the school, your presence at the celebrations will make the occasion a truly memorable

one. In celebrating such a momentous occasion in our history, we would appreciate having everyone

join us, whose good wishes and support have brought us this far. We do hope you take the time to

make it to this grand occasion.

We look forward to enjoying your company at the Sesquicentennial Anniversary Celebrations.

RESOLUTION OF THE MANAGING COMMITTEE

1. Resolved that the funds of the OBA of SJBHS be

managed by a professional wealth management

firm/s and that an investment policy be formulated

with guidelines for the management of the fund by

an investment committee appointed by the general

body.

Justification: The return on investments right now is

sufficient to meet the current need. Inflation is not

catered to. If we are to pay out amounts and still

maintain corpus which caters to inflation then the

return on investments needs to be higher than the

current Bank rate of return. With a professional body

to help, returns could be better.

HISTORY OF ST. JOSEPH'SAfter strenuous efforts and exhaustive research over a

year, Chris Rego a committee member and Old Boy from

the Batch of 1976 has almost single-handly completed

the manuscript for the book "FAITH AND TOIL", the

History of St. Joseph's Boys High School 1858 - 2008.

In-spite of fall ing victim at a critical juncture to

Bangalore's chaotic traffic Chris is trying his level best

from a hospital bed to complete the layout of the book

and ensure its publication in t ime for the

Sesquicentennial Celebrations in September

The book is fully sponsored by his Batch which is the

Batch of 1976 as a tribute to their Alma Mater. It will

consist of about 350 pages richly illustrated with over

250 photographs and cartoons. Old Boys Mario de

Miranda, Paul Fernandes and Ryan Lobo have freely

contributed their talent to this endeavour.

Material for the book has been obtained by the author

from sources across the world. The archives of the Paris

Foreign Mission that run the school till 1937 provided

rare manuscripts and photographs never published

before. Some old letters pertaining to the construction

of the Old School on St. John's Hill (now St. Germain's)

dating back to the 1880's were sourced from the State

Archives at Vidhana Soudha. A great deal of information

has been obtained from School Annuals from 1910

onwards as well as from issues of OBA Calling. In

SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATIONSAs mentioned in the last report we started the

Sesquicentennial celebrations in December 2007 with the

Inauguration of the celebration by His Excellency Shri.

Rameshwar Thakur Govenor of Karnataka. The inauguration

function was jointly organised by the Staff, Parents and

Old Boys of St. Joseph's. A number of prominent Old Boys

and Parents were on the dias some of them being Rahul

Dravid, Robin Uthappa, Sandip Somesh, Jimmy

Ankleasaria, Sabeer Bhatia, Mohandas Pai,

A.G.Krishnaswamy etc. While Robin and Sandip released

the New Logo, Jimmy, Mohandas, Sabeer and Rahul along

with the Govenor addressed the gathering. The school

children organised the Cultural Programme.

In December we had the Christmas Dinner. Unfortunately

Jimmy could not attend due to ill health, but all those who

attended had a good time. Fabian White an Old Boy

provided some excellent music to keep the tempo alive.

In March we celebrated the Feast of St. Joseph with Holy

Mass followed by Breakfast and Lunch. We also conducted

an Inter School Tennis Ball Cricket Tournament for Old Boys

of four schools namely Baldwins, Germains, Cottons and

Joseph's. The Tournament was won by St. Germain's with

St. Joseph's as Runners Up. Murari N. and A. Franklin

were the sponsors for the Breakfast, Lunch and

Mementoes.

This year the Secretary and Joint Secretary were invited

to Kanjirapally in Kerala where a meeting of Old Boys of

Kerala was held at the Kanjirapally club on the 26th of

June 2008 (Photo at the end of annual). This is the second

meeting in Kerala. The first meeting in Kerala was held

exactly fifty years ago when Mr. Alvarez the then Secretary

went down to Kerala for the centenary celebrations and

started the Old Boys Association of Kerala. The association

was revived again and the office bearers that were

nominated were Thomman J Karimpanal as President,

Dr. K.E. Eapen as Vice President, Mr K.K.Joseph as

Secretary and Mr. K.S.Thomas as Treasurer. We wish OBA

Kerala all the very best. They have promised to organise

an Old Boys Day in Kerala every year.

addition Principals, staff and Old Boys from as far back

as the late 1920's have been interviewed and have

contributed their memoirs.

The entire manuscript has been vetted by

Rev. Fr. Hedwig Da Costa and Mr. Alec Alvarez who

have spent long hours reading the manuscript and

making suggestions and corrections.

On behalf on all the President, Managing Committee

and all the Old Boys we thank Chris Rego for the time

effort and money that he has put in for his Alma Mater

to bring out this History Book.

OBA ACTIVITIES 2007-2008The committee places on record the excellent work

done by the previous committee in conducting the Blue

and White Ball in the Catholic Club and the OBA

celebrations in September last year. Like the previous

year the out going President Dr. Bryan Nobbay identified

nine Old Boys to contribute towards paying the pension

of nine retired teachers for one year. We are extremely

grateful to the Batch of 1993 who sponsored the

Breakfast on Old Boys’ Day last year.

Once again this year the OBA contributed 75%

(Rs.2,76,000) of the total insurance premium paid towards

Medical Insurance for Serving Staff and 100%

(Rs.1,27,000)of the premium for the retired teachers. With

a total outflow of Rs.4,03,000 and over 50 new teachers

yet to be covered it is becoming extremely difficult to

manage paying of the premiums. Sumir Hinduja the brain

behind the Insurance Scheme is still supporting us but

we need a lot more Old Boys to chip in and take the corpus

past a Crore to be able to continue paying the premiums.

AUDITOR’S REPORT

We have examined the attached Balance sheet of Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society A/c

the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the institution’s management. Our

responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We have conducted the audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in

India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material mistakes. An

audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosers

in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles

used and significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall

financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for

our opinion.

We report that:

a) We have obtained all the information and explanation which, to the best of our

knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purpose of our audit.

b) In our opinion proper books of accounts have been kept so far as it appears from

our examination of the books.

c) The Balance Sheet and Income and Expenditure accounts dealt with by this report

are in agreement with the Books of Accounts.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and explanation given to us, the said Balance

Sheet and Income Expenditure account gives a true and fair view in conformity with the

accounting principles generally accepted in India:

1. In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs as at March 31, 2008.

OBA CANADA

For 2008, sad to say, there is not

much to report on O.B.A. Canada.

From mid-2005, when some of the

senior committee members

encountered various health issues,

there was a lack of spirit to keep the

association going despite attempts to

do so. Newsletters went out to members trying to conjure up some enthusiasm but the fortitude was not there.

We continue with a start-of-the-year newsletter and our annual picnic but that's about all.

Later this year we hope to have a lunch, as we've had in the past, so we will wait and see what transpires when the word gets out.

From 1993 to 2005 our annual sold-out dance was at the top of our community's social calendar but with the present

situation, no one seems willing to take the helm to organize the event that used to generate some funds to help our

needy retired teachers.

The fact of the matter is, as of today, O.B.A. Canada is in a state of inertia.

Dougie Peters

President, O.B.A. Canada

OBA USA

The highlight of the 2007/2008 year for OBA USA was the Reunion held in Northern New Jersey during the last weekend

in May. The Organizing Committee put on a terrific two-day event with a dinner on Saturday evening and a picnic and cricket

match vs St. Aloysius, Mangalore the following day.

The dinner was a lively affair with old boys from the 60's to the 90's reminiscing about their principals, teachers, staff,

sports teams, Widi's etc. One old boy, Natesh Mohan ("Mo"), shared the story about how his Dad got him admission by

dropping him off at the School grounds and insisting that he be admitted after he was turned down a couple of times. The

principal eventually relented because Mo and his Dad were not going to take "no" for an answer. Today, Mo is one of the

most active Josephites in the OBA USA Chapter and a real inspiration to some of the younger boys. Jimmy Anklesaria kept

things lively with his many stories and recollections of his days in school while Leslie Abreo and Lester Saldanha took some

great pictures and videos that were later posted on the OBA website.

The picnic featured great food and games as well as a limited-over cricket match against St. Aloysius College in which the

Joseph's squad prevailed thanks to outstanding performances from old boys such as "Choton" Basu, Samir Stewart, Sanjit

Menezes and others. Besides the cricket match, everyone seemed to enjoy the tug-o-war and sack races as well as the

visits to the park attractions such as zoo, train ride etc. All-in-all it was a great weekend and a terrific warm-up for the

Sesquicentennial celebrations planned for early September in Bangalore.

A special thanks goes out to the Old Boys in the US

who made pledges towards the Sesquicentennial Fund

as well as to those who took time out to visit the School

and speak to the students. Old Boys in the US are keen

to establish The Innovation Lab, a project designed to

encourage critical thinking, leadership, and social

responsibility, as well as a deeper engagement between

the OBA and students. This project had a few starts

and stops over the past year but we fully expect that it

will be pursued with newfound vigor and excitement

as we look to the future.
