Farewell Party

The day when I was free from my school for appearing in the Higher Secondary examination will be remembered throughout my life. As ours was the outgoing class, so it was bidden farewell by class X. The Principal fixed the responsibility for making arrangements. The farewell party was given on Sunday.

When I arrived at the school at 3 P.M. I saw that all arrangements were made by the host party. The school hall was beautifully decorated with charts. Buntings, flowers and placards. The main table. On which the Principal and the Inspector of Schools were to sit. Was beautifully decorated with flowerpots. There ere many chairs for the outgoing students. staff and student of class X.

After this speech, I, on behalf of my class, thanked the host and got blessings from my teachers and worth Principal. In speech. I lauded the good arrangements made by the host and accepted their good wishes and feelings for all of us. When I was delivering the speech. I was deriving a mixed pleasure; I was feeling sad because of the separation from my old and august institution in whose lap I got education and training of my mind and body. To me my school was an embodiment of knowledge and learning whose sacred atmosphere is a part of my memory. For me, This was not merely a school which imparted knowledge. But it was a cradle of culture and civilization.

We parted after taking the blessings of our teacher and good wishes of our friends. While going, we cast our longing and lingering looks at this great and noble institution in whose lap we spent the most formative period of our life and living.
