OBITUARY – MISS IMOGEN MEL (STAFF) – Peterite Global Network FAREWELL TO A BELOVED TEACHER Miss. Imogen Mel, a beloved teacher who dedicated almost the entirety of her adult life to teaching at St. Peter’s, moulded many a student to do better than they thought they were capable of. She was ‘confidante’ to several of the vast numbers of students who passed through her at College and her influence extended beyond the classroom to cover English drama, the literary association and debating, etc. Perhaps one of her last acts of loyalty to St. Peter’s was shown in her tribute to College (see below), in the Centenary Publication on which she spent many selfless hours helping edit it. Her remains will lie at A.F. Raymond today, 22nd May, from 6.15 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. and tomorrow, (23rd) from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. May her soul rest in peace beside the ...

St. Anthony’s College Kandy – Rugby in the 50s onwards Anthonians took up to rugby long after the schools introduced sports like cricket, boxing, hockey, football and athletics. Only in the ‘1950’s did the Anthonians take the oval ball to Katugastota, and Bruce Winter became their first rugby captain. A big hand should go to their great coach in that era, old Trinitian Bobby Jayaweera who spared no pains to teach the Antonians how they should handle the Oval ball. Later Maurice Perera helped in coaching the Antonains. From the day, they touched the ovalball, the game became very popular. In the early days, it remained just an introduction of the game for quite some time, with no signs of attracting the enthusiasm of youthful Antonians.

THE GLORY DAYS OF ANTHONIAN CRICKET – BY Bernard VanCuylenburg It seems that we are reliving the glory days of Anthonian cricket thanks to Tilak and now Frankie Amerasinghe, who have taken us back to that great College by the mighty Mahaveli where “we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun” to quote the lines from a hit song of yesteryear. Recently Tilak and Frankie sent me interesting information of cricket in the mid fifties which I am forwarding to you. I am sure it will be appreciated by cricket enthusiasts and all true blue Anthonians. ...
