PRIZE DAY AT MY COLLEGE
Introduction: The prize day ceremony is an
occasion of great joy not only to the teachers and the students but also to the
guardians and the general public. The school wears a festive look. On this occasion
prizes are given to the students for their good results and proficiency in
different subjects. Some students get prizes for their attendance and some for
their conduct. Again some students who show special skill in various games and
sports and in athletic activities receive prizes.
Decoration: Almost every college holds a
prize day to distribute prizes among the students. The last prize day of our
college was held on 2nd April last year in the college compound. We decorated
the college building very tastefully. Green leaves, flags and festoons were
freely used to enhance the beauty of the school. A big hall room was erected to
hold the function. There were two tables neatly decorated on which the prizes
and medals were arranged in proper order. On one side was a platform nicely
carpeted from where the speeches were delivered. There was also a victory stand
from where the recipients received their prizes and medals. The president's
chair and table were placed in the middle with flower pots and bouquets of roses.
The function began just at 10 a. m. The invited guests began to come in. The
volunteers received them cordially.
Arrival the cheap guest: The D.C. was in the chair.
He arrived at the gate just a few minutes before the ceremony was due to
commence. The students offered him the guard of honor. The Principal, some
teachers and some distinguished persons gave him a rousing ovation and conducted
him to the seat of honor.

began with the recitation from the Holy Quran. Then the Principal read out his
report which showed all round improvement of the school. Then the main ceremony
began. The Principal called each recipient by name and the president gave away
the prizes. Finally the president rose to speak. He delivered his speech. He
