St. Mary's High Schol, Mt. Abu


'A' div. with the chapel and Plumy in the backdrop.
Br.Foran entertainment center! Was my class teacher in grade 7. Got my first and last 'Benders' from him. Got them for getting lost with a bunch of classmates on a Wednesday 'Walk'. He called all of us to his room and auctually apologized for wacking each of us. "Oh! Here's another nice lad making me do this!!, I'm sorry" he said.
The Senior and Junior dorms. Notice the goalposts of 'A' div and 'B' div!!
'C' div and Plumy Rock that is hidden in the picture (just above the steps) where the 9 and 10 year olds would gather with their 'tuck'! It really was a throne!!
The refectory across 'A' div and of course the classrooms too!!
The pictures are borrowed from the St.Marys site until I can get my pictures scanned in.
You an Abuite!? Please do contact me if you even find my face a tad bit familiar!!
some Abuite jargon (a lot of B'bay in it, i guess?)
'Tuck', 'boos cock', 'boffs', 'guchas', 'piddi', 'sock', stick jaw
