A WORD WITH THE COMPETITORS
It is the first time I am participating in Ataraxis.
For me, Ataraxis has been really refreshing. I am
a former Martinian and it's been like a walk
down the memory lane meeting all old friends.
The best event was Modern Shakespeare as I
took part in it. Some schools pulled off a really
hilarious performance which had the audience
in splits of laughter. One of the things which
sets this apart from the other inter school
events I have been to are the pink t-shirts of the
organizers, they are really cool!
-APARITA SAXENA, MODERN ACADEMY-
Being in the Shakespearan play, it turned out to
be the most fun filled activity at ataraxis for me
because I love to act and have a special interest
in Shakespeare. Some of many memories
include dressing up in the costume of a judge
which included our school principal, Mr.
McFarland's very own robe (ikr omg). I
remember how we wandered about the campus
searching for an isolated place to practice but
failed of course. Kudos to the 'Sister school; for
such a successful event. Try to better your
catering game a bit though.
-UTKARSH LAL , LA MARTINIERE COLLEGE-
Ataraxis has been an enriching experience for
me. I even got a chance to meet with my friends
from other schools- it was like a mini reunion.
The most fun filled activity was the dance
competition. the different schools came with
amazing dance steps on groovy songs. The
audience went crazy. It was as if the
performance were going on not only on the
stage but in the balcony also. there were boys
dancing in the entire auditorium. I've never
witnessed a more funny sight. As for my
competition, I was really nervous about my
performance. I hope I win. It is really difficult to
win at Mart being a Loretoeirite( winks).
-APARAJITA SHAH, LORETO CONVENT-
La Martiniere Girls' College organized
'Ataraxis' on 12th August, 2016 as a part of the
three days long event called "Entente”. It saw
the enthusiastic participation of more than 15
schools. Ataraxis- which translates to the
absence of mental stress or anxiety aims to
encourage participants to display their talents
outside the field of academics.
Numerous competitions like Fantasy
Land – fancy dress competition for the
preparatory students; Creative Play, Collage
Making contest for classes 7-8 and Salad
making competition for classes 11-12 were

Stage' in which the teams had to enact any one
of Shakespeare's play with the setting of the
play in the 21st century and "Dance-a-Step' in

FEEDBACK:
The risk of increased cardiovascular diseases has
become a very concerned topic in the recent years. Thus, an
awareness exhibition on the topic 'Listen To Your Heart' was
set up in the AV room with the help of Mrs. U. Pant, Mrs. F.
Rashid and the student representatives of Gandhi Corner.
More than 300 posters were prepared with the immense hard
work of the senior school students and Gandhi Corner
Prefects/representatives which were all reviewed and edited by
Mrs. P. Khanna, the teacher in-charge of Gandhi Corner.
Children from Classes 9 to 12 painted posters on the
mentioned topic. The exhibition was seen by all the participants
of Entente and all students from Classes 9 to 12 of the College
between 11th-17th August, 2016. The efforts of the students
bore fruits since the exhibition was witnessed by zeal and
enthusiasm by the participants and thus the motive of
spreading awareness among the youth was accomplished.
The third day of Entente, 13th August, 2016 was marked by the
Gandhi Corner Inter School Skit Competition on the topic
“Listen To Your Heart”. The judges were Ms. Taru Saxena, Mrs.
Bina Krishna and Mrs. Tazeen Hussain. The skits were very
informative and enlightening. Mrs. U. Pant, Mrs. F. Rashid, Mrs.
P. Bose, Mrs. S. Rodricks and Mrs. P. Khanna need to be
thanked for their immense help in the preparation of the event.
The Gandhi Corner Skit Competition was won by La Martiniere
Girls’ College, the First Runner Up was Loreto Convent and the
Second Runner Up was Modern Academy. Mrs. Archana Kapoor
was the Chief Guest for the event. The Vice Principal, Mrs. A.
Dass in her vote of thanks, thanked the heads of the five Clubs
of the College with their team of students who made Entente-
2016 an enormous success.
It was a very
thoughtful idea to
spread awareness
about the various

really well designed and planned. I look forward
to coming to La Martiniere Girls' College and
participating next year as well.

organized an IT-related event and it was pretty
amazing to see the vast variety of contest that
the IT Club had prepared. They had truly put in a
lot of effort into making the event a success.

memorable, (not only because I came first!) but
also because I had a lot of fun! During the prize

their lungs for their schools. The most fun event
was watching the quiz. Even though the
questions were really tough, the competitors
were still able to handle them!

a variety of items which
began with a welcome
dance, ‘Vighnavinayakstuti’,
dedicated to Lord Ganesha.
It was followed by the
English play ‘Seven Bride for
Seven Brothers’ which was
an adaptation of the 1954

round a backwoodsman,
Mrs. A Sinha
Adam Pontipee, who marries
a girl who works in the
village restaurant by the

her about his six rowdy, ill
mannered younger brothers.
The play showed how Milly
gradually changed their ways
and ultimately they were
able to win over the six girls
with whom they fell in love.
The Hindi play ‘Mantra’, was
adapted from the story of the
famous Hindi writer, Munshi
Premchand.
The other items included the
presentation of a fast paced ‘Mexican
Dance’, the rendition of two French songs
– ‘Mille après Mille’ and ‘Quand tu Seras
Grand’ as well as an English song ‘Pray’,
originally sung by Justin Bieber.
A group of Class Eight girls presented
a song, which was written as well as
musically composed by them called
‘Swadeshi’ which was declared as
the ‘Song of the Year’ in a national
competition. It was about the Swadeshi
Movement that affected the war for
Indian Independence and how the
principles of ‘Swadeshi’ need to be
followed again to improve the economic
condition of India.
The last item of the concert was
a dance performance by the students of
Classes Six to Eight. They presented the
different dance forms of India like Odissi,
Kathak, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi with
a finale dedicated to the doyens of the
Indian Dance forms. The evening ended

CAROLSERVICE
THE BLUE & GOLD | 2016-17
La Martiniere Girls’
College ushered in the Christmas
season with their annual
worship service on Saturday,
10th December, 2016. The
worship service was dedicated
to the loving memory of our
Lady Principal, Late Mrs. F.
Abraham. The Carol Service,
comprising hymns, Bible
readings, recitations and the
nativity, was first instituted by
Mrs. Abraham in the year 1999.
Over the years, Mrs. Abraham
ensured the continuation of this
sacred tradition to celebrate the
birth of Christ. Today, the Carol
Service is a regular feature and
a prominent annual event at La
Martiniere Girls’ College.
Among the notable
dignitaries who graced the
occasion were Chief Minister,
Mr. Akhilesh Yadav, and Member
of Parliament, Mrs. Dimple
Yadav.
The theme of the
Carol Service was “Christmas
Blessings” and the evening
began with the staff and the
choir singing “Born That We May
Have Life”. This was followed
by the recitation of Christmas
poems and readings from
the Gospel, interspersed with
Christmas songs and hymns
sung by the choir. Songs like
“Call His Name Jesus”, “Breath
Of Heaven”, “God Is With Us”
rendered by the senior choir
in their mellifluous voices
enthralled the audience, while
the junior choir, too, participated
with enthusiasm by singing
“He Is Born” and “Christmas
Is The Time To Love”. The
junior boarders enacted the
nativity, depicting the divine
prophecy and the humble
birth of Jesus, thus recreating
the magical charm of the holy
eve when Christ was born. The
congregation joined in with the
singing of “Hark! The Herald
Angels Sing” and “Mary’s Boy
Child”, while the staff choir
entered into the Christmas spirit
with their sonorous rendition of
“We Have A Saviour”.
The highlight of the evening,
however, was the combined
choirs of La Martiniere Girls’
College and La Martiniere
College presenting “Sing We
All Noel”, a beautiful medley of
Christmas songs, which kept
the audience spellbound. The
candles and lights along with
the nativity tableau on the
stage, provided an enchanting
backdrop to the choir as it sang
“Silent Night”.
The anthem “Christmas
Angels” was followed by an
acknowledgement given by
the Vice-Principal, Mrs. A. Dass
and the benediction being
pronounced by Reverend
S. Moses. The recessional hymn
“God Bless Us Everyone” brought
the festive evening to a close.
We are grateful to
Mrs. S. Jeyakumar and Mr. V.
Gupta for training the choir, and
Mrs. S. Rodricks and
Miss J. Camphor for training the
readers and reciters.

Rise Up and Rejoice
The Beats of ‘Gidda’
‘Jambo Habari’
The auditorium
resounded with claps as
the curtain came down
on the Grand Finale of
the Senior School Concert
on the 23rd November,
2016. Sighs of relief were
audible as the teachers
herded their students back
to their classrooms. It had
been a gruelling fortnight
of practices, run-throughs,
freyed nerves and panic
attacks. However, the grand
success of the show made us
The Prayer Dance
Miss. R. Ali
proud and every moment of
stress was worth it.
The evening began
with a beautiful and graceful
prayer dance by the senior
school boarders on the
theme, ‘God is Faithful’.
The next item was a
mega presentation by two
hundred students of Class
IX. They enacted the musical
comedy ‘ Annie’ and stole the
hearts of the audience with
their story, songs, dances, and
beautiful stage setting.
The evening saw a number of
dance performances. Class X had chosen
the theme ‘Unity in Diversity’ based on
communal harmony and patriotism.
They entertained the audience with
lively ‘garba’ and ‘gidda’, a graceful sufi
dance and an act on the resurrection of
Jesus Christ on Easter. The dancers came
together for a patriotic song and dance
which stirred the hearts of all for the
finale.
The Classes XI and XII performed
lively foot tapping dances that ranged
from African tribal to a fusion of hip hop
and contemporary dance forms.
The College Section also performed
the dance drama a ‘Battle of Dreams’
that told the story of children suffering
from stress and parental pressure. The
message given by this touching dance
was that parents should support their
children in fulfilling their dreams.
The items that stole the show were the
Hindi play, ‘Prayashchit’, a comedy with a
message, and the spine chilling, murder
mystery and suspense drama, ‘Wait Until
Dark’, performed by the students of
Classes XI and XII.
The concert also included a number
of front curtain items in the form of songs
and dances and included a touching
tribute to our Late Principal, Mrs. F.
Abraham, who was missed by every
student and staff member.
At the end of the evening’s
entertainment, Mrs. A. Dass, the Vice
Principal, praised the girls’ performances
and thanked the teachers, staff and
support staff for training the students
and helping with all the arrangements.
The evening ended with the School
Song followed by the National Anthem.
