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. Krishnaswamy Brian D'Lima

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
St. Joseph’s Boys High School Old Boys Association, Bangalore as at March 31, 2008 and
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.
2. In the case of Income and Expenditure account, the excess of Income over
Expenditure for the year ended on that date.

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.
