Dear Loyoleans,

As we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Loyola, we have many things to thank God for:

we have had very good results in the past, our past students have done well in life, we have had full cooperation from the parents, good interpersonal relations between the teachers and the students, teachers and parents, staff and administration. Other educational institutions look upto us for leadership in the field of education and innovative approaches to teaching and guidance of the students.

It gives me great joy to offer congratulations to the School — the students, the teachers and the administration on the occasion of its Golden jubilee. A school is a place where the God-given talents in the students are recognised, nurtured, and led to flourish and fructify.

Dear Friends of Loyola,

Congratulations on the Golden Jubilee of Loyola!

Congratulations to the teachers, the parents, the benefactors, the Tata Company and my fellow Jesuits who have made it all possible!

My first experience at Loyola was my period of Regency, 1950-52. Fr. Carrol I. Fasy, S.J., our “Father Superior” and Rector, set the tone for those days. We loved to watch him stand on the stage of the old clubhouse which was our school and with dramatic flair address the Assembly: “The Loyola boy is known, not so much for his uniform of cloth, but for his uniform of behaviour”.

Remembering Loyola

A tiny back room, entered through a back door, was where I first met Fr. James McGinley, S.J., Principal of Loyola School, in October 1952. His chair, a modest desk and two chairs, ranked in front of the desk, filled the room.

Within a few weeks I learned that Fr. McGinley was to leave for Rome to prepare to teach young Jesuits Sociology in Pune (then Poona) and I was destined to take his place behind the desk. Any qualms which I felt were quickly dispelled by the wise counsel of Fr. Carroll Fasy, S.J., Superior of the Jamshedpur Jesuits, and the ever present support of Mr. Narasimha Rao.

Personal Reflections

I was associated with Loyola School for forty-one years and it seems like only yesterday that I arrived there in 1954 on the Bombay Mail at about 2.00 o’clock in the morning, while the Jesuit Fathers were still in the arms of morpheus. Fr. Dincher picked me up at the Tatanagar Railway Station. The date was Feb. 22, George Washington's birthday. I had embarked on the S.S. United States from New York on Feb. 12, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Therefore, both days were blessed by the two greatest presidents of the United States.

I was welcomed by the bright city lights of Jamshedpur and the brand new, spick and span, dazzlingly bright Loyola building. It had just opened for classes in January 1954, but some work was still going on in cleaning up the building and putting the final water-proofing surface on the terrace.
