6 DIVULGING THE INAUGURAL CEREMONY OF JUBILEE The word Golden Jubilee Jaws the volume for the aura of glory in which our school lies submerged. For a period of five decades, it has unfailingly sent out students who are capable of being good citizens on whom the nation can count for help, guidance and the upliftment of the downtrodden. SMIC corroborated the start of something novel, which would never be rubbernecked again but left on the pages of SMIC s history. The Lighting of the Lamp by the honourable guests and dignitaries on the stage, along with Rev. Dr Joseph Mundakathil marked the official beginning of the Golden Jubilee Celebration Programme, signifying the passage and progress from darkness (ignorance) to light (knowledge and enlightenment). And... Then came the most awaited and important moment of the celebration, with the chief guest formally inaugurating the Golden Jubilee Celebration with a declaration to the effect and releasing colourful balloons in the sky spreading the message of gaiety and good cheer. The celebration continued in the evening. The evening part began with a Holy Mass at Christ The King Church by His Grace Most Rev. Dr Albert D Sousa, Archbishop of Agra along with priests from sister concerns. Soon after the Holy Mass, a colourful get together tagged on.

Today will give place to tomorrow and tomorrow will dawn into a day after and yet another 50 years will fade into oblivion.
