Nurungukal..cntd.

                                When I look back to my school days first thing that appealed me was the setting of the campus. About three acre cmpound, cotaining 3 to 4 old buildings and a vast play ground and assembly ground. The buildings were named viz; LONG HALL, CORONATION HALL, NEW HALL etc. There were tiled sheds also. Higher standards were housed in buildings and the lower ones in sheds.The laboratary and teachers room and craft room were fairly big when compared to those ones in other schools. The craft teacher tought us hand loom weaving .  Every student had to spin yarn with help of a spindle { THAKKILI }                         We had a peon named Kunhiraman, who was in charge of sports and games. The dexterous way in which he filled air in a foot ball was a sight to watch. Others would frequently damage the neck of the bladder. Similarly the speed at which he used to draw lines with lime powder for track and field events , I think nobody can attain. I can even now visualize the way he walks with a peculiar gait and his hair style KUDUMA.  There was another peon named Gopalan. He attended to office work always  putting up a smile, and  dear to all.

                                Many of the teachers  put on coats. Among them Achuthan master was the most harmless. Some naughty boys used to steal chalk pieces from his pocket and he pretended to have not seen it. He wrote on the black board with a beautiful hand. Such a hand writing I am yet to see. Madhava Warier, tall and fair walked in long strides was elegant and grace full. I heard that he has now crossed 100 years. Sekhara Warier who was the head master was a personality we all fear. He wuld go round the corridors with a cane and used to punish severely those who does mischief.Cicaly and Anandavally teachers were so loving and good in their profession. I am proud to be part of that legacy.
