The objective of Jesuit education is to assist
in the fullest possible development of all God
given talents of each individual person as a
member of the human community. The kind
of transformation that Loyola wants to bring
about in our students rests on four pillars :
Social, Intellectual, Spiritual and Personal.
It seeks to engage students in the
teaching/learning process and encourages
personal and collective responsibility.
In other words, education at Loyola aims for holistic development.
Holistic education is a philosophy of education based on the premise
that each person finds identity, meaning, and purpose in life through
connections to the community, to the natural world, and to
humanitarian values such as compassion and peace. Holistic education
aims to call forth from people an intrinsic reverence for life and a
passionate love of learning. It aims at helping students be the most that
they can be.
Consider your life's greatest challenges. What did you need to know to
overcome the obstacles you faced? Consider your greatest successes.
What did you need to know in order to achieve those successes? Then
ask yourself, how many of those things that I needed to know did I learn
in school?
At Loyola we try to delegate responsibility to our students wherever
possible. With activities and competitions taking place every other day,
students are provided with ample opportunities to develop their soft
skills and thereby broaden their perspective. They are encouraged to
go beyond class room learning. Team work teaches them about
themselves, about healthy relationships and pro-social behavior, social
and emotional development and resilience.
The recently launched movie Partly Right made by the Dramatics
Club has attempted to provide a platform for the students not only to
hone their talent and try their leadership skills, it has also helped create
awareness about a burning social issue that of student suicide.
I am sure Loyoleans realize how privileged they are to be studying in an
institution which gives them so many opportunities and challenges
which will ultimately prepare them for their true calling in life. We hope
you make the best use of the golden opportunities that are being
provided to you.
With best wishes,
Fr Victor F. Misquith, S.J.

THE LOYOLEAN, JAMSHEDPUR, NOVEMBER 11, VOL 19/2 THE LOYOLEAN, JAMSHEDPUR, NOVEMBER 11, VOL 19/2
The greatest sense of fulfillment comes when you live up to
expectations. The Loyola Press Club had promised the readers
and patrons of The Loyolean, a cartoon strip that could bring
to life commonplace events that happen in a school.
The inside covers carry the first three cartoon strips designed
by our Illustrators. It may not be the most striking creation in
this domain, but it is definitely something that the LPC is very
proud of. It has been a complete year since the idea was first
thought of by our extremely gifted illustrators. None of this
would have been possible without their skills.
When we first introduced the seven cartoon characters in the
school assembly, some genuine faults were also pointed out.
For instance, there was no proper mode of presenting the
cartoon strips. If we produced one cartoon every issue, the
idea would never survive. Initially, we had thought of
introducing a fortnightly. However, this too didnt materialize
because we werent very confident of its communication
ability. Any magazine/mode of communication works only if
there is a connect with its readers/viewers/users. The team
hopes to work out an alternative by next year.
A talk with Mrs. Leela Ghose, the first moderator of the Loyola
Press Club, brought to my notice a very interesting aspect of
life; tradition. Mrs. Ghose, who is a beautiful and inspiring
woman and teacher, was overjoyed to see that we had
preserved the symbol of the Club and had continued the
serialization begun by our seniors. She told me that the logo
was conceptualized by a Loyolean more than a decade back.
While it does weigh us down, tradition also prevents us from
faltering. Also, a lot of value has been added to the magazine
only because we retained what our seniors had passed down
to us.
While we are certain that our idea will strike a chord, there is
this lingering fear of losing the cartoon characters. This is one
fear that will only be subdued with time.
The Loyolean is a true reflection of what is happening in our
school. We introduced this cartoon strip not because we
intended to show-off our expert artists. Our purpose was to
depict everything that a student encounters through art. By
doing this, we wouldnt need to rely on heavy articles that
dont have a wide audience. On the other hand, visuals are
something that all of us can relate to easily.
We have left a few aspects of the cartoon strip open for
suggestions. The LPC sincerely requests all its readers to fill in
the Feedback Form available on the last page of the magazine
and submit it to the school office. This will ensure the
involvement of a large number of people. This, in my opinion,
will contribute a lot to the ideas preservation.
The Loyola Press Club humbly presents to you, our most
ambitious creation: the cartoon strip. We hope you like it!
A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms
We are left awed by the gallantry, the
steely determination, and the raw
courage of the survivors around us.
We are daunted by the
hardships they had to
face. Be it a war survivor or
an earthquake survivor,
we are numbed by the
losses they have had to
endure. But in the midst of all
this, we forget that we too
are actually surviving we too
are SURVIVORS.
Not a single one of s merely
'lives'. Each one of survives,
survives in their raw, harsh
wilderness we call LIFE. The problems
differ, the pain varies, the survival tactics
are different, but, at the end of the day,
each one of us 'survives'.
The human mind and the human
heart that are more delicate than
the leaves of touch-me-not, yet
stronger than any Kevlar coat, are
put through innumerable battles in the
course of a lifespan.
Surviving death, loss, grief, heartache, pain also surviving
happiness which knocks you off your feet, love which makes
the world go round, fun, which can get you giddy. All our lives,
we are surviving broken bones & broken promises, surviving
the highs & the lows, surviving success & failure, love &
hatred, friendship & enmity, grief & happiness.
And of course, the teen mind, vulnerable and susceptible, the
teen heart, overexcited and gullible, are faced with a
numerous other daggers which they need to dodge. Some
such poison arrows are dodged successfully, while others
strike and leave behind a scarred mind and a torn heart.
We are surviving low grades, scarce marks, strict teachers,
expectant parents, 9 O' clock curfews, innumerable
deadlines, and pressures of peer groups and fanatical
volumes of books.
We survive intense insecurities, deathly depression, the
drunken high of a tender first love, the devastating pain of a
hideous first heartbreak, the dark lure of booze and drugs, the
stupefying metamorphosis of some of your best buddies.
You and I will survive the confusion called puberty; survive
overactive hormones and crazy mood swings and most
importantly the transition from childhood to adulthood.
We will be surviving new responsibilities, heavier
expectations, bigger decisions, maddening schedules and
before I forget, SURVIVING LIFE.
Look inside yourself, do you now see the SURVIVOR?
DEYASINI BISWAS

Then he stood up, took out the bottle of potassium cyanide
from his breast pocket, looked up towards the sky, and sent
up a prayer for forgiveness, salvation, redemption et al. He
knew well that he would not have much time before he would
perish after consuming the fatal potion. So he looked down
upon the grave and blurted - "I love you." It seemed the
sentence did not end and loomed in the air. He consumed the
poison. The unadulterated poison started to work.
Mr. Fernandez felt a choking sensation. He knew the time had
come. He spoke aloud the last word he'd ever speak: 'jenny'.
There was hardly a three second gap between his
penultimate verbal action and his last word. So it sounded as
if the dying man had uttered a sentence - "I love you, Jenny."
He collapsed and fell on the hard stone of the grave, in such a
position that his lips embarked on a word he uttered and
cherished the most in his lifetime - 'Jenny'. To a layman, it would
seem as if the dead man was kissing the word he loved - 'Jenny'.
Jenny was dead. And now, Jenny's father also died, lying above
her grave. He was a dead man. Both from inside and out.
KSHITIJ ANAND

After this, Mr. Fernandez could not pull himself together. A few
days later he was found nearing a chemist's shop, the same his
daughter Jenny bought the fatal potion from. This was the
potion that killed both Jenny and her father. Jenny died
physically, but her father morally, emotionally, spiritually and
mentally. He knew well the kind of chemicals the shop
displayed on its shelves. So he paid a few extra bills to get the
pure unadulterated potassium cyanide, the deadly poison
which could kill within seconds. He certainly didn't want to die,
suffering like his daughter did. He had suffered much and now
it was his time to relive himself of all his sufferings.
Mr. Fernandez got back into his car, brought back the engine
to life, and drove towards the cemetery. Reaching there, he
killed the engine and came out of the car. Mr. Fernandez
traced his steps down the paved way to the far corner of the
west wall of the cemetery, where Jenny lay in her grave,
peacefully or not, Mr. Fernandez did not know. He only wished
to. Reaching the grave, he found no one there. He thanked God
for it. Kneeling before the grave, his hands caressed a word,
which was chiseled on the grave - 'Jenny'. He cried for a full
eight minutes, his hand still caressing that word.

oftheJOGGAfootballtournament. Hereishowtheeventsunfolded.
Our first match was against St. Mary's whom we beat 3-1 having come
from a goal down. Southpoint won their first match against KPS mango
10-0. We faced Southpoint the next game. It was a difficult and an
interesting match. The matched ended in a 1 all draw. The next day St.
Mary's then gave Southpoint a walkover. It was here that we came to
know that only one team would progress from our group. If we beat KPS
Mango, we would have been level on points with Southpoint. On such
situations, the team with a better goal difference ( i.e. the difference
between the no of goals scored minus the no of goals conceded)
qualifies for the next round. In the final match, we needed to score 9
goals to go through on goal difference rule. We had to face KPS, Mango
in our third match. Beating them was not the difficult part, beating them
by 9 goals was. Our team stepped up and at the end of a 30min long first
half, we had pumped in 7 goals. We needed just two more to qualify. It
didn't seem all that difficult.
When we entered the pitch, we saw that only 7 KPS players were on the
ground. A minute after the second half started, one playerlimped off.
The referee said that the match will have to end because a side cannot
play with less than 7 players and that the final result would be 7-0. That
meant we had been knocked out. Apparently NO player was available as
replacement. Here is the surprising part; there hadn't been a single foul
in the entire game. How were the players injured then? It wasn't bad
performance that led to the defeat but factors that we couldn't
influence. The team hopes that the tournament is regulated in a better
fashion next time.

Captain CLOSE - UP
RAHUL ROBIN OF C H EET A H S
How do you feel being the captain of a house set to score a
hat-trick?
I am proud to hold my post as captain, at such an important
time. I am fully focused on bringing the cup to our side for the
third time in a row. It would be a memorable victory.
What is your game plan?
The house is preparing for a clean sweep over all awards.
Personally approaching athletes is on top of my agenda. This
helps them perform better since they know that they are being
trusted. On a more personal account, I am certain of clinching medals
in the long jump and triple jump events.
Whom do you consider your strongest asset for the sports day?
I consider all athletes to be strong assets. In my opinion, the final day would itself reveal
who our important pillars are. Yet, I do not rule out the possibility of dark horses.
Where does your house need corrections? Why?
The house has missed out on the march-past and discipline awards for a long span of time. I
want this to change. It is essential to clinch these awards along with the Championship since
discipline is the key to every achievement. The march-past is the prime display of the day. So,
both cannot be ignored.
How are you anticipating Sports Day?
The Sports Day (DECEMBER 9, 2011), as always, will be a grand event with intense
competition and surprises that will thrill all of us.
JAIRAJ SINGH OF J A G U A R S
The post of a House Captain is very coveted. How do you feel holding it?
I have worked very hard for this post. It represents the trust of my teachers and my
companions. I take great pride in holding this position.
It is not surprising to see a Jaguar win the 'Athlete of the Year' award in the prime category.
What do you say?
Our members have performed very well in the ISC/ICSE Athletic Meet. It won't be wrong to
say that we have an edge over others. We are armed with prior athletic experience that we
will capitalize on.
You are an ace badminton player. Unfortunately we do not have such an event category. Do
you consider it to be a disadvantage?
No! I have no rebellious thoughts about that. I do not see any disadvantage
but only an aim to convert all available opportunities into
victories. I believe that demanding a sport that personally
favours me would be very selfish and I do not intend to do it.
Do you thing Jaguars would perform better under your
leadership? Why?
A year is a very short span of time in which a House Captain is
expected to perform. It is a very difficult job. Nevertheless, I
am a sportsman and I feel I can understand the athletes and
demands of Sports Day very well. I think I can instill a spirit of
sportsmanship in the members of my house. It is a very
essential component of anything to do with sports.
How are you anticipating Sports Day?
I see it as a day with the perfect balance of sports and style. It is an
event that the entire school carries off very gracefully. And in all of this is
this latent spirit of competition that is very intoxicating. I am looking forward to it completely.
ZEESHAN AKRAM OF L EOP A R D S
What will be your strategy for the Sports Day?
I will capitalizeonour strengths. I will trytoget as manypeopletoparticipateas I can. Whoknows?
Wemaydiscoversomenewathletes. Thiswill alsoincreaseourchancesofwinninganevent.
You are the captain and this will be your last Sports Day. How are you feeling?
It is an unparalleled feeling. I am one of the leaders of the Loyola Family and that itself makes
me really proud. It has always been my dream to lead this house. Since this will be my last
Sports Day, I just want to make it very special for the house, especially the 12th standard
members and myself.
What do you think are the strong areas of your House?
We have a pretty talented group. I feel we can really excel in the team-sport categories.
Usually my House is the best in Marching and also one of the most disciplined houses. We will
try to get maximum points for Marching. Also, the senior members in my House co-ordinate
with each other very well. The juniors and the girls show a lot of promise. I hope we can make
the most of these things.
What are your expectations from the girls' squad? How will you deal
with them?
I amhappy I have a very good girls' squad. They are pretty good in
most of thesports. Theyareslightlylowonthedisciplinefront. I am
goingtobestrict about this, after all expectationsareveryhigh. And
notjustthegirls'squad,Iamgoingtobethesamewitheverysquad.I
don'twantanybody'sactiontoreflectpoorlyonthehouse.
What impression do you want to leave on the members of
your house?
I am going to try and be very approachable. For some unknown
reason, there are many juniors who fear coming up to me.
I want this fear to go. I am open to suggestions from
everyone. I want them to see me as a friendly but
passionate guy. I hope that when I leave school, Leopards will
remember me as fondly as they remember our previous captains.
SANJAN PARIDA OF P A N T H ER S
What do you have planned for Sports Day?
I want to let everyone participate, not just the regulars. I will try to
convince those who are good and still not participate. By doing this,
I hope to churn out as many new gems as possible. We may not have
the best squad but this won't deter us from working on our strengths
and maximizing returns.
What type of captain are you going to be?
I am going to be aggressive. When needed, I will be casual when
needed but then again, I will push everyone to the limit. No
compromising when it comes to the House.
And what are your strong areas?
I am personally a very good marcher. I hope to instill this quality in the House. I hope we win
the title for Best Marching. Sadly, we don't have many athletes this time, but the few that we
do have are really good. We will be relying on them to lead the different teams and also to
train the others. We have decent teams and with hard work. I don't see why we can't beat the
others.
How will you deal with indiscipline?
As i said earlier there will be no compromise in the name of the house. Those who mess up or
cost the house points because of their indiscipline will be dealt with severely. Athlete or no
athlete, anyone who is undisciplined will be dealt with severely. Also, I feel that the girls'
squad of the Panther House is full of delicate darlings. Most of them don't take part in the heat
and dust of Sports Day. They also don't march well. This is unacceptable. I am going to change
this. I don't want our squad to lag behind. It is a tough job but I will do it.
How do you regard your captaincy and this year's Sports Day?
I wanted to lead this House ever since the fourth grade. Today, I am living my dream. I can't ask
for anything more. I hope to make the best of this special occasion. It will also be my last
Sports Day and I have so many mixed feelings about it. I think this year's Sports Day is going to
be very special.

The Grand INDIAN GRAND PRIX
All cars this year used two versions(hard and soft) of Pirelli tyres.
Engineers prefer to use soft tyres because after running on
tracks for some time, the friction generated starts burning up
the tyres and thus allowing it to stick on the tracks. This
increases the stability of the cars tremendously. Telemetry
machines and Accident Data Recorders (ADRs) were installed on
the cars along with cameras to keep track of the driver. As usual,
the survival cell of every car was designed in accordance with
FIA Regulations. In case you are new to F1 and are wondering
how a driver fits in, all you need to know is that engineers are
instructed to make the survival cell/cockpit large enough to
allow a driver to fit in with his legs stretched. Regulations state
that his legs must not cross the front wheel axis. This ensures his
safety in the event of an impact. The fuel used in Formula One
cars is very different from regular petrol. Fuel includes blends of
Nahphtenes, Olefins, Di-Olefins and Paraffins. If you are
learning Organic Chemistry, then these terms are easy to
comprehend.
This year's season began in Australia with Vettel winning it. After
Australia, the race progressed to Malaysia, China and then to 13
other countries. India was the 17th host of the 2011 Formula
One World Championship. Three names are reigning the
Formula One circuit. They are: Sebastian Vettel (11 victories),
Jenson Button (3 victories) and Lewis Hamilton (3 victories).
Vettel won the Indian edition very comfortably. He leaded every
lap of the race and comfortably finished ahead of Jenson Button
(2nd position) by 8.4 seconds. Vettel represents Red Bull Racing
(RBR)-Renault, which is currently leading with McLaren and
Ferrari in second and third positions. Coming in second and third
were Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso. Our very own Narain
Karthikeyan who drives for HRT-Cosworth completed at
position 17. Racing icon Michael Schumacher finished fifth. A
total of 12 teams had participated.
Sadly, Vettel couldn't recreate this Indian magic at Yas Marina,
Abu Dhabi, where he had to retire after a tyre difficulty. So, in a
way, India has been very special for Vettel.
The race was witnessed by well-known faces like Sachin
Tendulkar, Arjun Rampal, Shah Rukh Khan and others.
THE COMPONENTS WHO WON?

This is one question that the youth of our country must ask. The
future of Formula One in India depends on how they answer it.
Champions like Lewis Hamilton and Schumacher started their
racing career with go-karting. Do not underestimate this sport
because go-karting is much more difficult than driving a car. This
is because a kart lacks a differential. A differential is a set of gear
attached to the rear axle of a vehicle enabling the rear wheels to
rotate at different speeds.
My personal experience with go-karts has been terrible. It is very
difficult to keep up speed at turns and finding the right braking
points is essential. Also, the kart tends to skid because of the
centrifugal force.
Vijay Mallya owned Force India has recently started the 'One

We know that a number p is called a prime if it is greater than
1 and if its only positive divisors are 1 and p itself. Euclid first
proved that every number greater than 1 is either itself a
prime or can be written uniquely as the product of primes
apart from the order in which they are written. For example,
260 = 260 = 2*2*5*13. This fact, called the fundamental
theorem of Arithmetic, states that the primes are the
fundamental building blocks out of which all numbers are
constructed. Among the small numbers, primes are very
common. There are 8 primes between 2 and 20 ( 2, 3, 5, 7, 11,
13, 17 and 19). As we look at larger and larger numbers, the
primes thin out. While there are four primes below 10, there
are only 25 below 100 and just 168 below 1000. The density
of the Prime Numbers is given by the formula : D=P(n)/N,
where P(N) is the number of primes below a particular
number N. Refer to the chart of densities of primes for
various ranges.
function that provides information about the exact pattern of
primes, how one prime comes after the preceding one. Swiss
mathematician Leonhard Euler introduced a function called
the Zeta function in 1740. This Zeta function is given by
(s) = 1/1s + 1/2s +1/3s+.
where s is a real number. If s is equal to or less than 1, the sum
becomes infinite. But if s is greater than 1, the sum has a finite
answer. One may ask: what does this Zeta function have to do
with the primes? Euler proved that the Zeta function is equal
to the infinite product
1/ (1 - (1/2)s) *1/ (1 - (1/3)s) * 1/ (1 - (1/5)s).
where 2, 3, 5 are prime numbers. The Zeta function is a real
function. Although it is linked to the primes by Euler's infinite
product, it does not have sufficient geometrical structure to
help us uncover the pattern of the primes. To do that, George

In 1791, Gauss at the age of just fourteen noticed that the

the number N, the better is the approximation. But Gauss
could not prove his own conjecture in his lifetime. Hadamard
and Poussin proved his conjecture in 1896. Their result is
known today as the prime number theorem. This theorem

PARTLY RIGHT BUT ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL
Harsh Vaibhav
Director
The idea first germinated in my mind when I was researching
about what leads to student suicide. There are three pillars on
which a student's life is based. They are his family, friends and
the society around him. This is what the film had to show. The
difficulty was in translating the idea into a script and then into
images.
Our original script was completely changed once we started
shooting. That was when we had to think on our feet. Our
teachers and students chipped in and made this task easier.
The technical aspect of the film was where all our skills were
tested.
I remember a time when we had to almost shut our shooting
down due to lack of equipment. Father Principal and other
patrons saved the day by arranging for equipment to be
transported from Kolkata in trucks. Trolleys and cameras were
all brought in from Kolkata. This did add to the superior quality
of the film but also added to the costs.
I must thank my patrons for trusting the abilities of Loyolean
students and for never having complained about the financial
aspect. Also, Mr. Amitava Ghosh, of Biponi, helped us all
through the journey. He provided even when we needed
equipment in the dead of night. Words won't be enough to
convey our gratitude.
After we shot the entire film, Tr. Shaon Mitra and I had to
shuttle between Kolkata and Jamshedpur countless times to
wrap up the editing process.
All our hard work has paid off and we have already screened
our movie in six cities, which includes Jamshedpur, Dhanbad,
Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and New York.
We will be screening our movie at Confluence, an event to be
held at IIM-Ahmedabad. Efforts are on to get it screened at
Symbiosis, Pune and Christ College, Bangalore. As of now, we
are awaiting censorship.

School to stand up for such
activities. Loyola has been, is and will continue to be
part of such activities.
As far as the issue is concerned, I would not pinpoint
on just one aspect of why students commit suicide.
A lot of factors contribute to it, and that is what the
film tries to show. Making the cast available when
required was a problem that I had to deal with. But
then I felt it was for a larger purpose and made the
required adjustments.
I even enjoyed acting in the movie. Yes, it was very
difficult too. Especially when I was asked to give
retakes. Now, I have some more sympathy for the
actors and understand why they charge so much!

Snakes are possibly one of the only things that are both worshipped and
feared. However, in these times of development, snakes are facing
extensive loss of habitat, which isn't natural. Also, we must keep in mind
the fact that if human activities lead to an extinction in snake species, it is
going to create a host of other problems. As we all know, the extinction of
any species will lead to a population explosion of their preys.
If this happens, then our future generations will have to face extreme
infestation of rodents, insects etc. From my experience of catching
snakes and keeping them as pets, I have learnt that they are very calm and
harmless. In the supplementing photo, I am holding a rat snake, which is
common in these regions. I sincerely hope we humans start preserving the

She Makes Me Smile
On a hot midsummer night,
I couldn't see any birds in flight;
The Moon was shining just above the horizon
And I could hear only a single person's orisons.
The moon had lit up the place
But I still couldn't see her face
Below us was a hay pile
And I knew on her face was a heavenly smile
We saw the stars shooting across the sky
Even I smiled and She asked me ,Why?
I looked up to the sky
And I didn't want to lie
I told her Nature shows special things only to special souls
I told her I wanted both of us to enrol
Together into the Society of lovers
I expected a reply having 'nevers'
And the reply , Yes it came
With the 'nevers'
But the tone wasn't the same
'Never shall we part, she said
And I knew a bond was made
A smile Spread on my face
Under the Moonlight which had lit up the place!!

You don't feel so tall
With your back against the wall
All you feel is fear and pain
Flowing through each vein.
She's only five foot five,
And you're begging her to
keep you alive.
But she's got a gun to
your head,
And she wants you
dead.
Eyes gleaming with
cruel emotion,
Scarlet nailed fingers in
motion.
Trigger pulled back twisted smile on her
face,
Just then your heart stops to race.
There is no flashback, no memory train,
Numbness takes over before the pain.
Less than a second, longer than forever,
Time stops, but it can never.
Bullet through your brains,
Blood is all that rains.
It splatters on the walls, drenches her dress
What a bleeding mess, oh what a bleeding mess
They say there's a lot more to life than money,
But death follows the words 'Goodbye, honey!'
Body slumps down to the floor
You can't breathe any more
And silence follows that one last breath,
As moonlight washes the face of death.
In love and war, they say all's fair
But she never loved you nor did she care.
Cold, calculating, without a heart,
No psychotic break; it was planned from the start.
She just straightens her hair, wipes the gun clean
Turns her back and walks away from the crime scene
A note with your name and the gun in your hand
What other evidence will the cops demand?
