My Last Day At School (A Farewell Party)

I shall remember my last day at school throughout my life. It was 2nd of March. We were bidden farewell by class IX.

It was Sunday. We reached school at 3 P.M. The school hall was beautifully decorated for the farewell function.

The party began at 4 P.M. For about an hour we ate to our hearts content, ( جی بھر کر )gossiped ( گپیں لگائی )and laughed very much.

The farewell function started at 5 P.M. Mr. Salman, a student of class X, made a moving (جذباتی )speech in which he mentioned our long and deep association (تعلق )with the school as well as the class. He wished us every success in future (مستقبل )

After this speech, I, on behalf of ( کی طرف سے ) my class, thanked the host (میزبان ). In my speech (تقریر ), I lauded (سراہا )the good arrangements, (انتظامات )made by the host and accepted their good wishes for all of us. I was feeling sad because of the separation from my old and august institution in whose lap (گود )I got the education. For me, it was not merely (محض )a school, but it was a cradle (گہوارہ )of culture (ثقافت )and civilization (تہذیب ). In the end, the reverened ( قابل احترام ) Headmaster made an impassioned ( جذباتی )speech in which he appealed us to build our mind and character on sound lines. He advised us to adhere (چمٹنا )to the glorious (شاندار )traditions of this institution (ادارہ ).

After his encouraging ( حوصلہ افزائ )speech, the function came to an end. We left our school with heavy hearts casting our last looks at this great institution.
