Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!

When we talk about the most established schools of Udaipur, we come across several names. In these, the only girlsโ€™ convent school in Udaipur is St. Maryโ€™s Convent Sr. Sec. School. It is the school where every parent in the city wants their daughter to be educated, and as mentioned above it is the only girlsโ€™ school in the city and yes, undoubtedly this is the significance of this school.

โ€˜St. Maryโ€™s of the Angelsโ€™ as they call it! There are certain things only and every St. Marian can relate to.

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!
When they ask us? Are you a Marian?

โ€˜St. Maryโ€™s we Love Youโ€™ โค

This is the school anthem of St. Maryโ€™s and this anthem is something that every Marian has learned by heart.

Here it goes: โ€œโ€ฆAnd now we give you thanks,

For all we have and are,

We know youโ€™ll guide us well,

Until we have crossed the barโ€

Tying the โ€˜Blue Ribbonโ€™ย ๐Ÿ”ท

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!Daily checking of the Blue Ribbon in the assembly was something every Marian was afraid of. And let me add, more afraid than being caught for riding without a helmet! Tying the Blue Ribbon on pony-tails and braids was a part of wearing a perfect uniform!

Late Comers Making a Separate Line!ย ๐Ÿ˜’

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!Making a separate line and standing until the assembly got over and then listening to the yelling PT Sir; filling the latecomersโ€™ remarks in the diary, who can forget it!

Sick Room and the Green Curtainsย ๐Ÿ˜

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!The sick room is where all of us (I mean we all Marians) have been to once every year; some coz of being really sick and some coz of skipping physical training periods!

Games Period Shenanigansย ๐ŸŽพย 

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!Not playing and hanging out with friends and talking about life- yes, literally life, was the motive behind going for a Games Period.

The Fear of the Term โ€˜SISTERโ€™ย ๐Ÿ‘€ย 

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!Shouting in the class and enjoying would suddenly come to an end as soon as we heard: โ€˜Sister is hereโ€™. Even the teachers used to scare us taking their names! Mostly it was referring to Sister Principal.

Do you remember how many times you were caught by sister principal!?

Preparations for the Assemblyย ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘งย 

Have you ever come across a St. Marian preparing for her assembly? Oh no, you would like it haha. The brainstorming to get an apt topic for assembly, the rehearsals, the selection of musical instruments and making it as top-notch as possible was something I did until my end years at the school!

Houses at the Schoolย ๐Ÿ ย 

Why am I in Shastri House this time? I wanted to be in Pratap! Goshโ€ฆ! I know you people can easily relate to it!!!!

Cultural week followed by the 25th December Celebrationย ๐ŸŽ…

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!The cultural week was one of the biggest events in my school time. And a great escape from studies and a way to showcase our talents.

That Craze of Wearing a Saree on the Day of Farewellย ๐Ÿ‘ธ

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!The best part of being in the 12th class was wearing a Saree (with a lot of restrictions back then in school) on the day of farewell.

The Random Bag Checkingย ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, I still mourn over my lip-balms and combs!

The Ego Issue, as they say!ย ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!In our lives, we have always listened to this- โ€˜St. Marians have an Ego Issueโ€™! Havenโ€™t you ever heard this? :p

Things Which Every St. Marian Can Relate To!
EVERY MARIAN

And how can we forget our domestic staff, office staff and all the teachers and PT drills and parade practices? We have all gone through this to become what we are today. Kudos to us and to St. Maryโ€™s!

Tell your memories of being in St. Maryโ€™s Convent; I shall love to read โ€˜em all ๐Ÿ™‚ย 

PS: I’m Also a Marianย ๐Ÿ˜‡

    Oh how much I relate to all these things. I remember one of my friend was apt in cutting the ribbon with teeth to share with ones who forgot. And yes, the cultural week and preparations were the best time to connect with seniors and juniors as well. So many memories, always bring tears. St. Mary’s we love you
