Request for material for the DS-75 Publication-‘School’
As part of The Doon School’s 75th year celebrations acronymed DS-75, the Doon School Old Boys’ Society is bringing out a book titled ‘School’.
The book will tell ‘School’s’ story from its inception in 1935 to the present day through a collection of anecdotes, letters, articles and photographs. The attempt is to capture the Dosco spirit and ethos and what goes into producing a well educated, responsible Dosco and include:
The building of character (also the humourous side of it).
Nurturing the free spirit and lateral thinking of the Dosco.
The commitment to larger social issues by working with the disadvantaged.
The boys’ striving for excellence in whatever field or career they choose, with a reference to show how School inspired/played a part in their successes.
The participation in games and emphasis on a diversity of extra-curricular activities ranging from fine arts to mountaineering.
The exposure to the outdoors (7 day mid terms, etc...)
Humour and grit in the face of adversity.
The changing nature of education, which earlier, in The Doon School, was to meet the needs of the young nation. Today, when statistics indicate that young Indians are at least 17% of the world’s population, it is essential we bring in a global perspective to education.
We need a sense of social belonging on a global scale to address critical issues of pollution, global warming and the west’s carbon footprint. The world today is a global village and our country’s political boundaries and personal wealth will not isolate us from impending worldwide climatic disaster.
Material for the book may be in the form of:
Anecdotes
Articles/essays
Letters
Photographs (in school and away on Mid Terms, etc)
These should reflect the above and:
We are looking for constructive criticism as well, constructive articles that are not all “Ra Ra Dosco” but look to discuss/address the problems faced by a schoolboy, are welcome.
The free spirit of the Dosco
Life in school
Changing times and environment
Projects undertaken while away from school-Mid Terms and holidays
