M J Thomas (class teacher for Div B), Mr. M M George (Chemistry teacher) and other nonteaching staff. Mementos/ gifts were presented to the staff. There was a lot of networking followed by a class session where every member (staff and students) spoke of his/her 25 years after school. Those not present had their profiles read out. This was followed by a sadya, a cricket game between Div A and Div B and then a soccer game against the Loyola 2000 team. After the day-long programme at school, the group met again at Jas hotel in Trivandrum for dinner and further networking.

1991/1993 (Jayanth Sankar)

Ajith Mathew's plush Hotel Residency Tower played host to NOBLES Reunion 2001 on April 14. Twenty people participated in the Reunion. On registration, participants were given a copy of the Nobles Directory - a compilation of addresses, email IDs and other details. Bimal's brother Benoy (1986 ICSE) visited us and spent a few minutes. From 6.30pm to around 7.50pm, people trickled in and had a field day cracking jokes, exchanging light-hearted barbs, inquiring about 'missing' friends. This time, we deviated from the greeting-eating style. All of us sat together for a group session. On behalf of Nobles, the most distant participant Rennie Sreekumar (who had come from Bangalore) presented gifts to Ajith&Smitha and Manu&Indu. After the felicitation, we played passing the parcel for a brief while. This was followed by a Nobles quiz modelled on 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' - and some of the Nobles took home discounts on the registration fees. It was Rennie's birthday - we sang and wished him "Happy Birthday." Sanjai Basheer led the chorus. Around 8.50pm, Nobles started attacking the food with gusto. Eating and chatting till around 10pm. We once again came together - this time for a group photograph. By 10.30pm, all bid goodbye to each other.

Vijayaraghavan V (at Dr.Reddy's Labs) moved to Mumbai in March 2001.
