3rd September 2015 Rishi Valley School Day 1 Declaration of the Dazzling Day A fter a heavy sumptous tea the crowd moved toward the games field for the most awaited event : SPORTS DAY 2015. In Rishi Valley the 9th standards and above take part in the march past. This year the march past was led by Captain Shravan followed by Prakruthi and Manjeet beating the drums. Bhavya led class 12 with Rakshit holding the placard. Class 11 marched to the commands of Aila holding the flag and Abizer holding the placard. 10A was followed by Prithvi and Spruha holding the placard. In 10B it was Smitha who took the lead with Subam holding the placard. 9A and 9B who were new to this event were lead by C.S.R.Sharada, Pradnayan, Nivash and Riti respectively. The Oath We, the athletes gathered here today, Do solemnly swear to take part In the annual sports meet To the best of our abilities and In the true spirit of sportsmanship; For the honour of our school Sunil Sir hoisted the flag. It was a solemn movement when Shravan of class 12 was joined by all class captains as they took the oath. After the oath taking all eyes turned towards cave rock hill and all the juniors ran down the stone steps eagerly to catch a glimpse of Sruti and Sanjana, the twins of class 12 who were to bring down the torch. This was first time in the history of R.V. sports day that 2 girls are bringing down the torch since it is always a boy and a girl from the 12th. As they lit the torch with Reddy Sir's help, a round of applause came up and Sports Day 2015 was declared open by Jyothi akka! -Sheetala and Tanmay And for the glory of sport. For when the great scorer comes To score against our name He seeks not whether We’ve won or lost But how we’ve played the game. Breaking or Making? This year the torch bearers are Sruti and Sanjana, the identical twins. So far in Rishi Valley the torch bearers were always a boy and a girl, but now all of a sudden, two girls! Now here the question lies : are we breaking an old tradition or making up a new one? We asked Rajan Sir on what he thought about this and this was his response: ''We are more of making a new tradition than breaking the unsaid one.'' When asked why Sruti and Sanjana were chosen, he said that the twins were highly atheletic and have had outstanding records. The twins said they had no clue about this till Rajan Sir had come into the class and announced that the teachers had already decided that Sruti and Sanjana would be the torch bearers this year. They say that they are extremely excited and had been eagerly waiting for the torch bearing because Sruti has always wanted to be the torch bearer since 9th grade. To Sanjana this is special because 30 years ago, her father too was the torch bearer in Rishi Valley and would be there to watch them this Sports Day. Apart from torch bearing, Sanjana says she is looking forward to the class relays and 100 metre run. This year though Sruti will not be able to participate in many events because of an injury. She says that she will be participating in cricket ball throw and perhaps sack race too. - Shruti, Sanjula and Adhuna 3rd September 2015 Page 2 Logon Ke Logos W e interviewed the students who have designed the logo for their class T-shirt in senior school this year for Sports Day. When asked how they came up with the idea of their logo the responses were typically vague. Their common starting point was 'Um... basically',... and they generally did not proceed any further with the sentence. However, it was evident that for their design to be chosen as the class logo, there had to be some special significance to it. We decided to probe further. The 9th standard logo, designed by Aura Guha and Gouri A. Nandana, is an eagle with wings spread out and merging into a flaming background. The talons of the bird are taut, ready to face challenges. Their slogan is “Infinite Possibilities, One Chance!”. The significance of this slogan, Aura told us, lends itself to multiple interpretations. Some believe that the slogan implies that we should be able to make the right choice with the many available possibilities. Others choose to focus on the fact that opportunity does not come knocking that often hence the necessity to make the most of it when available. Either way the logo focuses on opportunity. The 10th standard logo consists of rings of the elements. Water is represented by Fish. Earth by Plants, Air by Birds and Fire by Flames. One single gear takes pride of place. Their slogan is “Elements of Excellence”. When asked, the designers, Diya and Subam, along with their classmates, gave rather diverse answers. There were enlightening theories about how it represented some of Ptolemy's ideas and how many elements when combined make the world. As you can infer, this logo is subjective and open to interpretations. The 11th standard logo is a pole vaulter jumping and a high jumper in mid air. Dixsha the designer told us that she wanted a logo related to sports and thus drawing a jumper made sense. The slogan “Leaping Beyond Limits” came into their minds because in the logo the high jumper and the pole vaulter are shown literally leaping for their lives. This logo is simple and self explanatory. The 12th standard logo is the only logo which uses white on a dark background. Rahi, Sanjana and Prakruthi decided to stick to the tradition of writing names of all classmates. This time their unique touch was to draw something that represented each person in a humorous manner. They wanted the logo to be a poster on the wall. When they started to think about walls, the Pink Floyd song “Another Brick in The Wall”, came ito their mind. That was how their slogan “Not Just Another Brick, We Are the Wall” came to be. ― Aman, Uditi and Shravani 3rd September 2015 Movie Corner 42: The True Story of an American Legend The film tells the story of Jackie Robinson and, under the guidance of the team executive Branch Rickey, Robinson's signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers to become the first African-American player to break the baseball colour barrier.The story focuses on Robinson's 1947 season with Brooklyn Dodgers and somewhat on his 1946 season with the Montreal Royals, which emphasizes his battles with racism. Chadwick Bosman stars as Jackie Robinson and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey. This is true life story based on Jack Roosevelt 'Jackie' Robinson (January 31 1919 -October 24 1972) who was an American major league baseball(MLB) second baseman who became the first African American to play in the modern leagues in the modern era. Robinson broke the baseball colour line when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. The Dodgers, by playing Robinson, ended racial segregation that had relegated black players to the Negro leagues since the 1880s. Robinson was inducted into the baseball hall of fame in 1962. 42 emphasises the fact that his shirt number was 42. - Vivek and Gughan Page 3 Chip the Bottles and Bang the Plates!! 5.

Hanuman's tail : Queue for sugar cane juice Four Generations Together 4 th September 2014 Page 4 REC Drills and Drum Beats REC displayed an ecxellent drill on rainfall. It was choreographed by E.Ramu Sir supported by Srivalli Akka, Chalapati sir and Sushila Akka . In their traditional attire it was a spectacular event. E.Ramu Sir has composed the song too with help from Sudha Akka and instrument accompaniment. Characters of their Drill 8 Bulls 8 Farmers(Boys) 8 Farmers(Girls) 1 Goddess 10 Old People 6 Youngsters 7 Singers And a few others Story of the drill: There are a few farmers who are done with ploughing the seeds and are waiting for the rains. When the rain does not come, the old people come and tell them to pray to God for rain. They even offer a sacrifice for the gods. When the rain does not come this time the youngsters explain that cutting trees and burning plants will stop the rain from coming and that we should stop doing that. The old people understand this fact and stop cutting trees and then there is rain. By T.Rohit and Yashvardhan Rana The most awaited display of sports day is of course the drills. While the seniors do the march past the juniors perform drills and this tradition has been there for years. The students of class 6 have used lazemes in their drill. They showed perfect coordination and rhythm. Sumita akka and Paritha akka had made this drill. The seniors of junior school, students of class 8 displayed a wonderful drill. Their hands and feet moved to the beat of a spanish song called 'Bailando'. Students of class 8 had choreographed the drill by themselves. The junior most of the school the 4ths and 5ths wowed the audience with their bamboo dance by clapping, hopping and stamping. They showed much expertise as they moved to the drum beat. This was choreographed by Venugopal Sir. The preppies too joined the dance. Sheetala and Saranya The students of class 7 swayed beautifully to a Brazilian song in Portugese. Sonali akka has choreographed the drill. It was a visual delight. Power Yoga This year after a hiatus of 3 years, the yoga tradition in RV starts again. This also coincides with the Indian Government making yoga a sport. It all began with the fifthies badgering Ramola Sir to display their yoga on sports day. When he agreed they started practising earnestly and aimed for perfection. They were quite excited. Their yoga was divided into 3 parts : standing ; surya namaskar i.e. the sun salutation ; sitting and lying down. In standing they did hanuman-asan, bamboo pose, tree pose and triangle pose. It was all well synchronized. They did four rounds of surya namaskar. In sittng , they did gaumukh-asan and a variety of others. In lying down, they first did lying straight way up and then upside down. Lying straight way up, they did fish pose. When they turned upside down they did a few poses. After this they did child pose while Jigmet did head stand. It was spectacular. They ended with the 'om' chant and prayed for peace and sat completely still and quite. Everybody marvelled at the great control they had over their bodies. - Atharva 3rd September 2015 Page 5 Olympic Chariot M eena Akka and Sita Akka decided to conduct an assembly with the fourth grade students as an introduction to the Sports Day. They gave a variety of facts on ancient and modern olympics and presented this by showing the audience a series of tableaus. The assembly started off with the olympic anthem which was followed by an English translation of its motto. After this the first tableau commenced. The fourthies, in their class T-Shirts and with paper wreaths on their heads, showed a scene from the opening ceremony of sports day. The Rishi Valley oath was partaken. The assembly moved on to other aspects of the olympics and the origins of various events. There were facts about the lighting of the torch and how the ritual is performed. The origins of the marathon, the legend behind the name, and the tug of war which originally meant 'the real struggle' - a contest for supremacy were all conveyed in this part of the assembly. They also talked about the origin of the relay race (a much awaited event) which, surprisingly, started with the aborigines relaying messages across great distances. The assembly ended with a classic rendition of “Chariots of Fire”. -Atharva, Siddharth, Durga and Uditi Inch Missing To Rewrite Sports History Students through the years have set and broken many records. Every year several records are being broken. This year some have come remarkably close to breaking records but have missed it by an inch or few milliseconds.

The first record of the day was set by Maya. The new B-Girls 400m record is 1 min 12.41sec. Less than six hours later she also smashed the 5000m open event for the A and B-Girls. The new record is 22 min 53.80sec. Sanjana of A girls broke her own Triple Jump record set last year. third time in a row by Darius setting a record of 11 seconds. Mehul set a monstrous record of 12.10 meters in 'B' boys shot put . CSR Sharada broke the B-Girls Triple Jump Record in spite of an injured ankle. The new record is 9.05m. Chinmayee set a record in the D-Girls Open Event 500m. The new record is 1 min 57.87 sec. There was a jubilant atmosphere all around. - Uditi and Maqbool Uditi set the record for the C-Girls Triple Jump beating the previous one by 5 centimeters. The new record is 8.48m. Later in the day she also broke the C-Girls Long Jump record by 14 centimeters, making the record 4.18m. The longest standing record of today, D-Girls Cricket Ball Throw, was broken by Mishka of class five by a staggering 6.35 meters. The new record is 35.65 meters. The D-Girls Obstacle Race record was broken by Sreeja. She set a record of 12.06 seconds breaking the previous one by just 1 second. The C-girls record for Obstacle Race was also broken by Durga. It was set at 11.65 seconds. The D-boys record in obstacle race was broken for the CLASS RELAY HATRICK BY CLASS 12. They have won in for a third time in a row. Lightning Thieves T he A- boys 100m run is one of the most awaited event. This year too, they were true to their form as they stole a march on the viewers. Varkey finished in 11.94sec and had a staggering lead. He was followed by George and Rakshit. Another really exiciting event was the A-girls 100m. Sanjana had a huge lead and she finished within 14.41sec. She was followed by Koyna and Arti who finished really close with a timing of 16.40sec and 16.44sec respectively. Neck to neck, Yash Suhas and Aditya Pandav bolted for the first place and though it was a close finish Yash won. Aditya Pandav finished second with a timing of 13.66sec and Yash finished with a timing of 13.41 seconds, just 0.25 seconds ahead of Aditya. - Aakarsh & Maqbool UDITI & MAYA BREAK 2 RECORDS EACH 4th September 2015 Page 2 Sports of Sorts 4th September 2015 Javelin Jabs and Shot putt Shots B-Boys Javelin record was almost broken today. Mehul from class 10 gave some spectacular perfomance. Despite the javelin hurting his back in the first throw he did very well in his third attempt by throwing a distance of 33.56m and the record being 37.86m. Rajeev Sir, Anoop Sir and Sumitha Akka decided to give him one more throw but Mehul couldn't close the distance. Nivash came second with a throw of 29.48m followed by Aakash with 23.23m. Page 3 Do or Die: Class Relays T he class relays have been a tradition of the annual sports day for a very long time. This event is one of those special ones which almost all of us look foward to. Even though it might seem to us like any other ordinary 'fun' event, it matters a lot to the graders of senior school since it holds up their reputation. Everyone wants to achieve victory. During our talks and interviews with the relay runners of ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth we found what was playing on their minds. From ninth grade there were nine people short-listed for the relay out of which four were chosen. “Everything is fine, but there is scope for mistake” they say. The ninth graders had also thought they'd beat the tenth graders but nowthey are not so sure. After all, its their first time and they are looking foward to it. In the eleventh, who have their fresher stars Vishnu, Aarthi, Ria along with Daanish who has been running the relay since his ninth. The elevenths seem to be doing pretty well but since they were involved with drama they have been pressed for time to put in regular practice. They expect third place and aren't scared of anyone! Lastly, there is the senior most class in school, the twelfth with their key runners Sanjana, George, Varkey and Sahitee. They seem to be doing great but are working on their baton pass. They aspire to win the 100m relay since they've been winning for the past two years and want to get a hat trick. The twelfth are a bit scared for their 200m but they want to win it, for its their last year in school. Hope all of you do well! BEST 'O'! Coming to the tenth graders, we have Mahitha, Spruha, Subam and Prithvi. They are doing well and are trying their best although are scared of the twelfth. Something similar happened with the A-Girls shot putt. Vennela of class 12 just missed the record by 0.32m. She threw the 10lb shot putt to a distance of 8.4m. Even Vennela got an extra chance but even she could not cross the mark. Sanjana and Laya won the second and third places throwing 7.9m and 54.9m respectively. - Abhinav Sports Day and the Seven Champs A s always the second day of our annual sports meet kicked off with the preppies events. Their first event was 75m run for the senior prep kids. The victors of this race were Nachiket, Bilva and Sanjeev for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places respectively. The second event was the obstacle race with Nachiket coming first,Yasaswini coming 2nd and Shresta coming 3rd. The 3rd event for them was potato gathering in which Raghuveer came 1st,Yasaswini 2nd and Shresta 3rd . Their 2 X 25m race was won by the duo Bilva and Yasaswini. Ruchi Akka was their along with the parents to cheer them all the way through. The track judges warmed up to the events as they prepared for the long day ahead. -Prahalad and Pratyush. - Tanmay and Gamya 4 th September 2015 Page 4 Junior Jottings Little Legends W hen ever you go to the games field you will always find these little champs there.These three kids together form the legends of the junior school.

Sruti of grade 12 who was one of the favourites in the A girls 100m was suffering from an injury, else one could have expected a photo finish between the twins. C.S.R.Sharada who ran the B girls 100m was out of form due to an ankle injury and could not replicate her earlier feats. It was particularly heartbreaking for Nanditha in C girls 400m race. She ran a spectacular race with a huge lead over others but was disqualified because of changing tracks earlier than permitted. - Maqbool and Aakarsh OMG Records There have been a lot of records set and broken in the long history of RV sports day.

Today amongst us is one such example who refuses failure. Last year CSR.Sharada had an injury but despite that she ran. Even though she came last she kept up the spirit of a good sportsmanship. However, this event has left her daunted. This year too she experienced a similar injury. This time she unhesitatingly decided to run again. What brought about this change of mind? solo. However this year I am on my class relay team and am getting a lot of support from my classmates. I am hoping that the team performence will encourage me to perform well too. Me: How do you feel about running with an injury again? CSR: I am feeling very nervous but I'm sure I'll get over it. Me: Who are your inspirations? Me: Last year you had a hurt leg and could not run properly. So what made you run this time when you have a similar injury? CSR: My inspirations are my classmates and teachers. CSR: Last year I was on my own as I was running - Siddharth.N Me: Thank you for your time, hope you get well soon. 4 th September 2015 Page 6 A Tale of Two Girls T here are two girls. They both run very well. They are so similar that they could pass off as twins. Both C.S.R and Marian started running only after coming to Rishi Valley. They have really enjoyed sports since 8th and as a result are very good at it. Marian is quite confident and believes that she can touch the B girls record, but C.S.R on the other hand has lost most of her hope and believes that she won't be able to do it. Both C.S.R and Marian have series of records and have proven their speed to the entire school. Expectations this year are quite high, C.S.R and Marian both seem to want to beat each other and come first. They are good friends despite competing with each other. - Harini No Obstacle for Records S ession 3 of day 2 of the annual sports meet 2015 saw 3 records being broken in the 5 obstacle races. D boys obstacle race record has been consequently for the past three years . In 2013 Vivek Bagai broke Vairag's record, followed the next year by Aniketh Majety who in turn had broken Vivek's record.

Special thanks to Rajeshwar sir for his help and guidance in layout and printing Rishi Valley School September 5, 2015 CALM AFTER THE STORM T It has been an intense two days of sports with meaningful participation, and a sense of achievement too. The achievement does not draw just from a good haul of records but is also to do with the earnestness with which each participant has taken part. The meet has also reaffirmed the place of many stars in the firmament of Rishi Valley sports. Maya, Subam, Sanjana, Uditi, Rohit, Mehul amongst others have given some spectacular performances. Siddhartha Sir declared the sports meet closed. Before that he said that when RV is searched for in a satellite map, it is the small square games field which defines it. For these few days of the year this small field becomes not just the centre of our world but a vast space in our lives because so much happens here, the events, the experiences, coping with emotions whether of victory or defeat. He emphasized that when everyone takes part with the kind of joy that we get to see here, the question of defeat or failure does not arise. He spoke of the tremendous joy and the spirit of comaraderie which was evident across classes during the sports day. He ended with the hope that we will cherish these precious memories for a long time to come. After all the intensity, the audience were excited by the traditional tug of war between staff and the students. As the sun went down the horizon, it was time for the silent march past and torch drill. The whole valley seemed to be immersed in the moment as the sports meet came to a close. The vote of thanks was given by Ruchi Akka to Reddy Sir, Sharad Anna, Baganna and Venkatramana, to the art department, especially Prabhakar Sir, to the carpentry and building department, the dining hall and staff, parents and students. The torches were lit and Shravan for the second time led forward the senior school as a captain of the school. The difference between the moments encapsulate the spirit of the Sports Meet 2015. After the silent march past the flag and torches were handed over to the elevenths. The evening lights threw a curtain on the big event of this year as the students trooped out of the big square field which once again went back to being a small square on the satellite map. he rain gods have been merciful, raining enough to wet the ground but not to spoil the sports. In fact, many youngsters have been playing in the small puddles that have formed here and there. - The Team Teachers lose on Teachers' Day E very year, the teachers always win in tug of war due to the fact that they outnumber the twelfthies 2 to 1. This year the twelfthies finally beat the teachers[and parents]! They were helped by a fair amount of seniors who gave enough firepower for the victory of students. We hope that we the twelfthies win every year! - Vivek and VP HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY! Deshpande Sir completes his 25th sports day! HIP HIP HURRAY! Day 3 Page 2 September 5, 2015. On a Winning Spree September 5, 2015 What should we run in? T his is a question which has puzzled many of us. Some people prefer to run barefoot; some prefer shoes. The good athletes use spikes but we have also found out that some people love to run in socks! Page 3 UNDISPUTED LORD OF THE GAME OF THROWS E veryone was banking on Mehul to win the 1.5 kg discus throw for B-boys as he had already come first in shot put. His opponents could hardly reach the cricket nets. So when Mehul had already got his two tries past the nets everyone expected him to break the record. As Mehul stepped up silent whispers of ''GO MEHUL'' were audible. However Mehul's third throw missed the pennant marking the record by centimetres. Though Sunil Sir gave him another try he could not equal his earlier throw and the discus throw ended with: 1. Mehul:27.00mts; 2. Vineeth:20.58mts; 3. Sujan:18.93mts. - Siddharth.N Praneeth of class 9 likes running in shoes as well as spikes. When questioned he said that he preferred spikes for 100m, 200m and 400m. According to him spikes are good for short distances because they give a push at the start of a race. However, shoes are more comfortable for 800m and more. He has never tried bare foot running. Prithvi of class 10 also prefers spikes for short distance runs because they give a good grip and are light weight. Like Praneeth, he prefers shoes for 800m or more. Rohit of class 8 likes to run barefoot. He said “I always run barefoot because that has been my practice since childhood”. We asked him if he had tried running in spikes or shoes and he replied “ I have tried them but they slow me down”. We asked him if the stones on the tracks hurt him. He said that he was used to them. Then, we met Mr. Anonymous of class 8 who is one of the few people who runs in socks, two pairs at a time! He said “I run in socks because I don't think spikes are useful for me and I don't like running in shoes. The only remaining option is to run barefoot but stones hurt me, which is why I have started running in socks.” We can safely assume that his consumption of socks must be on the higher side. He also has a suggestion for everybody who wants to try running in socks. He says, “Never run in white socks!” - Indraneel, Rehan and Aditya H. Challenges of a Different Sort S porting events all over the globe and throughout history have celebrated outstanding sporting icons who have broken through the barriers and explored new horizons. But what about those everyday ordinary humans striving hard to gain respect without talent? Hard work does not always beat talent, contradictory to what people think.This is why we interviewed a student who wishes to be unnamed. Q1: How many years have you competed in Sports Day? Ans:- Three years but once I had broken my hand, so unfortunately I couldn't participate. Q2: How many times have you been chosen in an event? Ans:- Zero times. That's very sad as I have seen you work very hard in practice time. Q3: What are the events you are weak in? Ans:- Runs and Jumps But I have seen you participate in every running event. Q4: Why do you strive hard in events that you are weak in? Ans:- I believe that hard work always helps you succeed in fulfilling your goals. We wish you luck for the future! - Vivek and VP Page 4 September 5, 2015. Fast Track 800 T oday's 800m run was very exciting since there were two people from class 10 who were extremely close to breaking the record. Prithvi ran an outstanding 2mins22.18secs which is just 4.25 seconds away from the record set by Dinakar TN in 1985. He maintained a steady pace throughout the first three rounds and unexpectedly built up speed in the last one. Maya, who has been breaking several records this sports day, was a miniscule 1.80 seconds away from the record set by Mallika Talwar in the year 2011.The record is 2mins59.26secs and Maya ran a mindblowing 3mins1.06 secs. - Shruti and Gamya Built For The Best E ven though events like 100m and long jump are serious events, they are some of the most popular events which sees 30 to 40 athletes vying for 8 spots. This is not the case for Triple jump. An exclusive sport, only the very best participate in heats. It is not an easy sport and lesser athletes shy away from it like no other sport. This year brought three new records for triple jump. 2015 has seen many more athletes participate in this aristocratic sport. In C Boys, Rohit T. Came first with 10.12m, Aditya P. Came second with 9.82m and Arnav came third with 9.1m. In D girls, Sreeja came first with 6.68m, Varshini came second with 6.34m and Rachna came third with 6.15m. In D boys, Darius came first with 7.9m, Shrivar came second with 7.04m and Sanan came third with 7.02m.We hope that next year we see many more! THROWING IS GOING (Seniors are favoured ) Why? - Vivek I n 2011, Riggyal of class 10 equalled the shot putt record of 11.61m and on the same day came first in all the jumping events and 100m. However the latter events were given more coverage than the former. Why was coming first favoured more than almost breaking a record ? It has been observed that during the heats of C.B.T and Shott Putt, the field is swarmed by spectators. However, on sports day hardly a fraction of them visit the events and prefer flocking at the running track or jumping pits in the sweltering sun. Why is it that running and jumping are given more preference than throwing events among juniors? Some reasons given are that it is their favorite 'sports haunt' and close to the juice tent. There are more friends and peers taking part in races and jumping events. Reddy Sir has forbade sitting near the throwing fields for safety reasons. Often the only people frequenting the throwing fields are the teachers who are conducting the events and the participants. It is also true that Javelin has also been given more attention than C.B.T or Shot Putt. Why do the seniors' sports fascinate us so much when our own peers are performing equally well in their own ways? - Siddharth.N September 5, 2015 Page 5 SPEED THRILLS BUT DOES NOT KILL R elays hold a great amount of thrill for everyone on Sports Day. The 4 x 200 metre relay simply doubles up the excitment. This years relay was no exception. In the relay this time the athletes were ; in twelfth: Varkey and George, Sanjana and Sahitee; from eleventh: Daanish and Vishnu, Aarti and Ria; from tenth: Subam and Prithvi, Spruha and Mahitha. From ninth the athletes were Nivash and Praneeth, Anjana and CSR Sharada.They were chosen for their speed and ran their very best to provide a scintillating display of agility, stamina and coordination. The first leg was run by Varkey, Danish, Mahitha and Nivash. As expected Varkey got a sizeable lead before passing the baton to Sanjana, paving the way for a victorious run for the twelfth. After the first leg, The tenth were lagging behind but Prithvi ran an extraordinary leg to overtake the eleventh and ninth and almost the twelfth to give the tenth the second place. The most tense moment was when George and Subam battled for first place before George steamed past the finish line a mere 1.30 seconds ahead of Subam. Praneeth also overtook Vishnu at the 100m mark to give ninth the third place. The relay proved to be more exciting than the shorter version. - VP, Sanjula and Vivek Back tracking through the years... S ports Day is an integral part of Rishi Valley School. Students have come and gone; records set and broken. Everyone is eager for the big day to come. Every year students go on stretching the boundaries and breaking through barriers . Even though the records are everchanging, the main structure and events of the sports day have remained the same. Around the year 2010, Cockfight, a major event in the sports day had been banned. This event was for students above ninth grade. Other than this no other major events have been stopped or banned. There is however, a change in the attitude of the students participating in the sports day. Some of our seniors tell us that there were many more participants in the events earlier than there are now. “People participate only if they can win”, says school captain Shravan. “This is slowly spreading to the juniors also,” he says. Reddy sir has also noticed this change and says that he sees most participation among the fourth to eighth graders. Reddy Sir has tried to increase the participation in the races by adding two extra tracks to the six tracks that were there earlier . The sports day has also become more elaborate. Earlier, it used to be a 2-day event; however, now it has extened to 3 days. Some other things in the sports day like the photo display and the musical chairs have stopped. The tabloid has been active for the last seven years or so. Small things keep changing in the sports day – some for worse and some for better. - Ashani, Purna and Aishwarya. Lilt Before The Storm T he senior shool students performed a 'join-in' dance for the joy and celebration of the annual sports meet. They danced to a Tamil song called 'pista' and later to an English song called 'watch me whip,nye nye'. At first they all stood in a circle and Revanth and Shravan went in and danced in a typical Indian celebration dance style. In the middle of the song, the beat changed as Rakshit and Shravan gave a spectacular and very unexpected dance performance to a Telugu song right before the relay. The whole of senior school was assembled in front of the podium to watch this dance performance.They displayed a series of very diverse moves, from a robotic style to flexible manoeuvres. They perfected the moves as they danced along with the song.Their movements were pretty synchronised in spite of lack of practice.Their partnership and coordination was quite flawless.They created an atmosphere of exhiliration which calmed down the relay runners' taut nerves. - Durga, Gughan and Shruti Page 6 September 5, 2015 INTENSITY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME Fun Corner Who's Who?
