The college was cleaned and a dais was raised at the farthest end. Two beautiful chairs, one for the chief guest and one for our worthy principal, were placed on the dais. Sofa and chairs were arranged in the front row for the teaching staff and the distinguished guests. Behind them sat the students who had to receive their degrees. All the teachers and graduates looked impressive in their academic gowns.

Our vice-principal announced the arrival of the chief guest who entered the pindal with the principal and the members of teaching staff.
