Former students of Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Thammampatti, underwent nostalgic moments when they met at a reunion on the premises of the school on Sunday after a gap five decades.
All of them were students of the SSLC batch which passed out of the school in 1965-66.
With emotions running high and tears rolling down their cheek, the students who had gathered at the school campus evinced keen interest in recognising and embracing each other. A majority of them had come with their family members and took time to introduce them to their friends.
Kamal Pasha, Principal, Government Engineering College, Kumbakonam, presided over the re-union function. Many of the old students spoke recalling their good old days they spent in the school and the active role played by the teachers in moulding their career.
The old students felicitated their teachers Abdul Khader, Chandrasekaran, Krishnan, Nallappan, Narayanasamy and Raju who had come to attend the function from different parts of the State. They were honoured with shawls.
Rajalingam, Headmaster of the school, Kannan, a doctor at the government hospital, and Krishnan, a serving teacher, offered felicitations.
