Of late, I have been unpacking, and releasing into the light of day, parts of my life that have been boxed up and stored away for years!
One of the gems I discovered were the old issues of our high school magazine The Godavarian! The Jumbo Issue of 1986 contained the “Senior Biograhphies,” those of my classmates and mine. We completed our tenth grade that winter and took the SLC examination in January, 1987.
The biographies were interesting reading!

What does your senior biography say?
