4th January evening witnessed a unique gathering of ex-students of St Xavier's High School, Fort hosted by Mr Vijay Chhabria ( 1975 batch alumnus ). Prominent among them was the Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Ashok Rao Chavan ( an alumnus himself ), Mr Adi Godrej, Mr Deepak Parekh, Mr Ajit Gulabchand and a host of other eminent Xavierites who have made a mark in the nation building process. The program was held to felicitate the honorable Chief Minister and to share thoughts on the 140th anniversary of St Xavier's High School.
The Principal Fr Baptist Pinto briefed the gathering about the present day situation and the projects undertaken to restore the past glory of that great institution. The Chief Minister won the hearts of the gathering with his enthusiasm, his generosity and down to earth approach in all things. Mr Adi Godrej stressed the need for forming an advisory committee and move forward. Xavierites of various batches ( some from the 1940's ) shared fond memories of school days and thoroughly enjoyed the companionship of fellow Xavierites. All this happened in the delightful ambience of the Sea Side Palace hotel terrace ( near the Taj ) owned by the Chhabria's. It was a truly memorable event that certainly provided a new dimension and vision to create Xavierites who shall be the future legends of the country!
