Thomians Class of 62 and O/L 70 Group celebrate 60 year nexus-by Rohan Mathes Once again the old boys of the Class of 62 and O/L 70 Group of S. Thomas’ College Mount Lavinia gathered on January 22 under one banner to celebrate their sixtieth anniversary of their association and loyalties with their prestigious Alma Mater. The long relationship between these Thomians began in 1962 when they were admitted to the school. This rendezvous was of paramount importance to the membership near and far, inclusive of those domiciled overseas, who had turned up in their numbers to enjoy the long-awaited fellowship, with their comrades, despite the prevailing Covid pandemic restrictions.

Tribute to Joan Vyvette Atukorale (nee Arnolda) – by Alix and family My aunt Joan Atukorale, the third youngest of 12 siblings (nine girls and three boys) who passed away this month grew up at “Aintree”, 42nd Lane, Wellawatte to a very happy, loving and exuberant family. She turned 90 years young on November 22, 2021 and enjoyed Christmas with immediate family. With the closure of borders and COVID restrictions, we were unable to help her blow out the 90 candles. 1931, the year she was born, was the era of the “Silent Generation”. Contrary to the name, children of the Great Depression (born between 1927 and 1946) were expected to be seen and not heard! Having revelled in the highs of the Roaring Twenties, parents faced great economic hardship and struggled to provide for their families during the economic instability of WWII. Parents tended to be very patriotic and ambitious ...
