Class of 1962 - Bangalore Reunion



Some of the 1962 batch met for a reunion in Bangalore in January 2008. Some of them flew down from other continents (Europe, Australia!) for this! Thanks to Celia and Gail for the pictures! I think they were taken on school premises. They had a great time and even managed to fit in a surprise visit to Miss Suares who was thrilled to see them all.
