fit the occasion as requested by the Organisers . The General
Manager of the Hotel Ravin Gunawardena , Consultant Milinda
Hettiarachchi , Engineer Angelo Wanigasekera , as true Thomians had
gone to great extent and depths to make this event " *very special*
" , in many ways . It was well appreciated by all present .
A cocktail party was held before the dinner by the Pool Side in
tropical setting , well lit with a Thomian touch about it . It was
followed by a grand five course dinner with professional attention
to detail in culinary & service expertise , good music by Kumar
Molligoda on the Saxophone , a lady singer on solo with another well
known Thomian in the recent past Dayan Fernando , who did the
honours . His version of " My Way " finally as a tribute to Warden
was exceptional . The lighting inside the hall and the decor was
attention to detail and state of the art , especially brought for
the occasion .
Excellent speeches were made by a lady member of staff , Gen Lohan
Gunawardene , PTA Sec Ramesh Wannakuwatte and the compere was Viran
Corea, the
son of Vijaya Corea who contributed well thro' out . Many
presentations were made to the Warden , which included a latest HP
Notebook, a plaque as a momento and a large bouquet of flowers for
Mrs Ponniah . It was preceded by a film clip depicting Wardens
school days and his rise to the highest seat of professionalism .
His century as a fresher at the Big Match , College days, University
days here and abroad , his meeting with Mrs Ponniah , his approach
to STC and his genial ways were indeed well edited and represented .
A copy of it was presented to him as a souvenir .
Dr Ponniah in his speech brought about many memories of his
schooldays , Varsity time , decision to come over to serve as Warden
and his rewarding stay here etc followed with class and character .
He thanked the Sub Warden in particular and wished him good luck to
take over at some stage and as a suitable candidate even now , the
Head Masters and staff of STC . He thanked the students , parents
and the PTA . He did not forget to mention that his opening partner
dashing Ajit Jayasekera deserved a century more than him at the Big
Match in 1967 . The College Anthem was sung and many fell in line to
bid farewell to Warden David individually ~ an emotional moment for
many present ........... Warden David a classy cricketer , Thomian
hero , distinguished academic and a gentleman.
