The St.Joseph's vs St Mary's football matches..

Its been 33 years since I bid adieu to St. Joseph's Academy, Dehradun.
Since the days when a walk on Rajpur Road was incomplete without a dekho of the school.
When the football matches with St.Mary's, Meerut or a Mussoorie school were more exciting than the Russia-Netherlands Euro 2008 quarter final match played today early morning.
When the cries of "Academy, Academy............" and the celeberations off the field matched the ones on the IPL cricket matches, in excitement, if not in glamour.
I wonder who first coined these lines........"Who needs Bournvita - St. Mareeeeeeeeeez", when the football matches went into extended time.
Those were the times, those were the days...................

Would like to know how the school & students are doing now. How was the recent ISC & ICSE 2008 result? Was our school result among the best in Dehradun / if not in Northern India ?

Looking forward to some news from fellow Alumni or current students and teachers.
