Dear All,
It gives me immense pleasure to congratulate each of you for a wonderful showing in the Alsoc Quiz on the 27th of November 2011.On our maiden effort, one of the two teams put up not only reached the final 8 stage, but managed to score enough to be ranked 6th at final bell. To have done so brilliantly well against the cream of professional & amateur quizzers of this city in one of Kolkata's most prestigious open quizzes, is quite astounding. And to have been the only team to carry the St.Xavier's tag on the dias, made it doubly sweet for & of immense pride to all of us.
The greatest credit for the showing surely goes to the senior members of the team, Kaushik & Soumyarup. We are so proud to have them as our alumni!! And for that we owe sincere thanks to Souvik for helping bring home the stalwarts!! One cannot overlook the enthusiastic contribution of the young guns from Durgapur - who spent almost 9 hours on travelling back & forth for just 3 hours on quizzing in one day!! And that was amply rewarded by the most gracious words of praise and encouragement received from the dignitaries from the podium, including past headmaster Fr.Devasy.
This, of course, followed from the Alumni Association at Durgapur informing us about the quiz and ably coordinating the student participation. Sincere thanks to them, specifically Mr.Sandip Guha Roy, for that. And to Fr.Arockiasamy for giving the kids a chance to learn from the best in the field.

We also like to thank Mr. Dey, father of Arunabha Dey, who volunteered to escort the Durgapur team in his own vehicle. Leaving Kolkata, after the function, he reached Durgapur little before midnight and ensured dropping all the kids to their respective destination.
But a huge chunk of the kudos must go the Kolkata chapter of the alumni association for both the individual efforts of each of the core committee members (not only were they there to support the teams, but also participated to ensure that all the kids from the school got a first hand shot the quiz) and the brilliant teamwork in making all this possible. Fantastic showing, guys. Although it means more responsibility on us to retain the tempo and do even better in the days ahead.
With warm regards.

Sir, it was a great experience for us and we hope that we have greater success in the following years. It would be delightful for us to represent St. Xavier's School, Durgapur next year also.
