I was in Ms. Tinars Avari's class in 1979-80 (I was in class 4) and absolutely adored her. She and I corresponded for over ten years after I left school and somehow I lost touch. I would love to contact her again and see where she is these days. If anyone has her contact information, please let me know. I wanted to contact the school but it does not appear they have a website or a contact email. Thanks! Aarti Sharma

Hello! My name is Sandra Winfield. I attended Pratt Memorial between 1956-1959. I was in Mrs. Phillips class, and had a very good friend called Shoova Mukerji or Mukherjee. I would like to know if she is still around and if she remembers me. There was another girl in the class whose name I can remember, she was called Janet MacKenzie. Also my favourite teacher was called Mrs. Baletti. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, My name is Renuka Ernst. I attended at Pratts during the years 1975- early 78. My family migrated to Sydney Australia in March 1978. My friend kanika mathur and I have been in touch since and I was wondering if anyone who was a boarder knew of the following friends I had - Pricilla Hopkins (fantastic athelete) Sandra & Cheryl Fitzgerald, Shanti (I can't remember her family name) Nancy Pradhan and Shashi. Reena Wheeler and her sisters Veena & Susan....
If you do place a blog or email me at my email address - renuka.ernst@gmail.com

My name is Susan George. I finished ICSE from Pratt's in 1977/1978 and ISC in 1980. I would love to hear from any of my contemporaries at Pratt's, especially Monisha Bose and Nivedita Bhat.
It is so wonderful to hear from old Prattlers.

Hi Susan, Renuka Ernst here.
I was very good friends with Kanika Mathur - don't know if you remember her - she was a boarder and passing through Pratts about the same time.
Well I do keep in touch with her regularly - but I also am good friends with Priscilla Hopley - surely you'd never forget that lovely girl.
Anyway, by way of assistance, try ORKUT.COM and go to the communities - you'll find Pratt Memorial School there - join and have a great time reuniting with mates you find..
All the best
Renuka

Reply to Renuka,
Good to hear from you, Renuka. I remember you so well.
Where are you now? I'm in the US now.
I remember Priscilla Hopley too ... She was a super athlete.
Kanika Mathur does not ring a bell. Maybe Radhika? She finished ISC in 1980.
Any news of Nivedita Bhat and Monisha Bose, anyone?
Best,
Susan George

Does anybody remember the time when Veronika Bithika Ghosh was the principal of the school? She was shabby at her job and however sentimental we want to get, she took our school on a downward spiral. Isn’t it shocking that even today, when social media is the buzz, PMS still does not have a website?? It buggs me to no end to see how our school just refuses to change/upgrade itself with time.

Anyhow I was a classmate of Sanchari Choudhury, Antara Choudhury’s (Salil Choudhury’s daughters) younger sister, I would love to touch base with Sumana Mitra, Kakoli Bannerjee, Papiya Sirkar, Sanchari and Sharmisthat Gupta. I passed ISC from PMS in 1990.

Hi I passed out in 1995. My name is Larissa and Mrs Sen was a teacher I liked though she could be quite hot-tempered at times. She taught me English in Class 9-12. I also liked Mrs P. Kocchar. She taught me Hindi from Class 1 all the way through to 12. She would have retired by now. Any way I could get in touch with her? I also liked Mr Conrad Mathews though he never taught me but taught my father at Bishop's School, Pune.

This is a blast from the past. I attended PMS during the last 1940s. Ms Lawrence was the Principal and I spent a great deal of time under the clock in the hall opposite her office. At the time, this was the punishment for bad behavior so that passersby could be duly shocked at your shameful presence. Is this still so?

Hi

I studied at Pratt from roughly mid/ late 1950's to end of school 1967. My first class teacher was Mrs Watkins and I had a friend called Dorrigen Nock and we both got a double promotion from class 3 to class 5. I would love to contact her and any other compatriot too. Sylvia Bose? Rupa Nagarajan? I used to be Aditi Chatterjee.

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to
be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say
to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about
worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
