The arrangements made, the Music provided by a lively Band
and the Food laid out were all excellent. Acceding to popular
demand, Lakshman Seneviratne once again gave a superb rendition
of Baila in his smooth velvety voice to keep the guests entertained
and enticing them to dance. Mahen Ranasinghe, Senior Vice
President of the OBA, needed no persuasion to climb the Bandstand
and give his own brand of song. A very enjoyable evening was
had by all apart from the much looked forward to Fellowship
by the majority of Old Boys attending who belonged to a particular
era at College. The main topic of discussion was of course
recent developments at College and the upcoming AGM of the
OBA and Re-Union of Old Boys at Guru during the weekend 15th
-17th February, in respect of which Mahen Ranasinghe expects
a record turnout in view of the fact that he is tirelessly
making every effort to ensure that the weekend is a grand
success to enable Old Boys to have a good time.
