THE PRIZE GIVING DAY AT OUR SCHOOL

The prize giving ceremony of a school is always a thrilling event to the students. It was the month of February. The names of the recipients of prizes and medals on the result of the last examination had been announced.

A day was fixed <or distributing prizes to the prize winners. The D.C of our district himself had consented to preside over the function. So, we set about decorating the premises of the school. The flowers and festoons, artistically laid out, give gala appearance to the whole scene.

By 3 p.m. the invited guests began to come in. The volunteers -with their distinctive badges were all attention to the guests. They guided the distinguished citizens of the locality to the seats especially reserved for them. Punctually at 4 p.m. the President came in. The students provided him with the guard of honour. A loud burst of cheering welcomed him as he took his seat.

The proceedings began with the singing of our national song with all of us standing. The President then read out his report. At one stage he made, a moving appeal to the government and the public not to treat education as a subject of lesser importance than any other subject for depending the fate of the future generation and the welfare of the country as a whole.

Then the main function began. The Headmaster called each recipient by name, announced the subject in which the award was made and the place of honour, he occupied. The winners of the topmost awards were vigorously cheered by all, while there friends shouted words of good humoured encouragement. The sportsmen, I could see, were by far the most popular. When the colours were awarded, the cheering was loud enough to be heard for miles.

Finally, the President rose to speak. He congratulated the institution, the teachers, the students, and in fact, everybody on the good work done in the past year, and observed that all this could be dene because there was co-operation all around.

With the customary vote of thanks proposed by the senior most teacher and seconded by the most brilliant student, the function drew to a close. The national anthem was then sung by all standing, and the President was taken to his car. 

The cheering were tumultuous; and slowly as the evening faded into darkness, the gathering broke up and dispersed. It was quite an enjoyable evening.
