This Eid was an exceptional one for the former students of Noakhali Zilla School as they spent some delightful hours reminiscing the good old days with old friends at school.

The most exclusive feat of the get together on last Thursday was the vibrant presence of the three most senior students — Md. Abdul Hannan from 1946, Bashir Ullah from 1949, and 1954’s A. F Rahman Bahar — of the 166-year-old high school.

Arranged by the former students’ forum of Noakhali Zilla School, all the discussions and activities at the event were evolved around these three veterans.

Hosted by former students Iqbal Khorshed Jafar, and Razwan Nabin, spoke at the event were forum member Engr. Mohammad Shahjahan, Noakhali Sadar upazila chairman Advocate Shihab Uddin Shahin, Noakhali Municipality Councillor Zahidur Rahman Shamim, Syed Ahsan Habib Hasan, and Nazmul Alam Manju among others.
