ALEXANDRA SCHOOL AMRITSAR

ALEXANDRA SCHOOL AMRITSAR formerly, ALEXANDRA HIGH SCHOOL, AMRITSAR. ALEXANDRA HIGH SCHOOL, AMRITSAR also known as AHS, and later named ALEXANDRA SCHOOL was founded by the REV.

ROBERT CLARK of the CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY (CMS), London on 27 December, 1878. He projected the school to the forefront of everything in the land so that the Christian women should receive the highest and best education. It was originally founded for Indian Christian girls, but since 1907 it has admitted children of other communities as well. Bishop French of CMS said, " I regard this school as

one of the very Pillars on which cod's work in Punjab will shortly rest." In 1881, the Metropolitan wrote, "This school probably has no parallel in North India." The Early principals Miss A.F Wright, Miss M.J Price and Miss G. Robinson all worked hard to maintain the standard set by the founder. But in 1939 Miss Irene Marr, the first Indian Principal, and her dynamic personality, infused into the school something of the fiery zeal with which it is believed to have had its start into the heart of Punjab. A separate wing for boys was started in April 1996 and is doing well.

Dedicated to my Alexandra Days aur kujh dost, jo kabhi dobara nahi aaye

Main yaadon ka kissa likhu to,
kuch dost bahut yaad aate hain,
maine gujare pal ko sochu to,
kuch dost bahut yaad aate hain,

ab jaane kaun si nagari me,
aabaad hai jaaker muddat se,
main der raat tak jaagu to,
kuch dost bahut yaad aate hain,

kuch baatein thi phoolon jaisi,
kuch lahaje khusbu jaisi,
main sehar me kabhi jo tahalu to,
kuch dost bahut yaad aate hain,

sabki zindagi badal gayi,
ek naye sere se dhal gayi,
kisi ko naukari se fursat nahi,
kisi ko doston ki jarurat nahi,
saare yaar gum ho gaye,
tu se tum aur aap ho gaye,

dhire dhire umar kat jaati hai,
jeewan yaadon ki pustak ban jaati hai,
kabhi kisi ki yaad bahut tardpati hai,
aur kabhi yaadon ke sahare zindagi kat jaati hai

Kinaron per saagar ke khazaane nahi aatey
phir jeevan mein dost pooraney nahi aatey
jeelo in palon ko has kar ae dost
phir laut kar dosti ke guzre zamaane nahi aatey
phir jeevan mein dost pooraney nahi aatey
phir jeevan mein dost pooraney nahi aatey....

- Harivansh Rai Bachhan

Aao phir school nu chaliye,
ose peepal de hethan baithiye,
mezan kursiyan te pher kujh likhiye,
pher madaman te kade Head of Department nu sataaiye,
pher Gopal Bhaiya kade Meena Aunty nu sherhiye,
Canteen vali Aunty kolo pher noodles kade Samosey khaiye,
ever hot and never functional water coolers to paani peen lai pher to larhiye
pher ground saaf karan to lukiye
classwork na karan to ik vaar pher to bachiye
morning assembly ch khadan to ik vaar pher bahaana laaiye
koi geet ya boli paa pher annual function vich nachiye
gaalan khaa teacheran di pher chori chori hasiye
luko ke pehle lecture ch pher to tiffin kholiye
paperan de vich pher to roiye
mil jaan jad result, bhangra phir to paaiye
library vali madam to pher jhirhkan khaiye
Chapel vali pichli gali da fer gerha kadiye
kisey madam nu glass paani da pher de ke aaiye
pher to Independence Day te Band vich shaamil hoiye
vekh kisey nu pher to hauke bhariye
dil hi dil ch galan do chaar kariye
parking stand ch kisey da scooter pher digaiye
aa jekar oh, vekh ke uhnu nathiye
jaande hoye ik vaari pher galey lag roiye
ek aakhri vaar sab kujh pher jee laiye
aao ik vaar pher schooley chaliye..

Well its a very proud moment for Alexandrians - a dear friend, Swati Kundan - batch 2003, has made us all very proud by bagging 35th rank in Punjab Civil Services, and would be joining as Sub Divisional Magistrate shortly after training. I am not aware of any other Alexandrian going into the civils, if any one amongst us is aware, please mention and let us share this happiness. It is a moment of sheer pride and joy for Alexandra

School Life:
Wo Big gang of frnds
Wo boring uniforms
Wo cycle se school jana

Wo Rocking annual days
So many hands in a single

HORRER XAMS
Remarkable marks

Lovable trips
Wo bachpan ka pehla pyar
Wo Summer holidays ka intezar
Wo Aakhri board Xam
Wo Farewell
Wo sab ka bichad jana..

Remember your school life
