Old Issues of The Columban

Click on the cover or link to download the PDF of the complete issue, or right-click / SAVE-AS to save to your hard drive..

Careful, these are high resolution scans, so they will take a while to download!

Even though the content apart from the cover is black & white, I have scanned the issues in color so the “feel” of the original is retained as far as possible.

1968 Columban (300dpi, 35MB)

1970 Columban (300dpi, 31MB)

1971 Columban (300dpi, 47MB)

1972 Columban (300dpi, 39MB)

Yes, this the issue where you’ll see Shahrukh Khan in his class photo in I-C, named “S. Rukh” 3rd row.

1974 Columban (300 dpi, 26MB)

1991 Columban – Hardcover Golden Jubilee Issue with lots of background info (300 dpi 63MB)

If you can’t quite remember how your school diary looked like, here’s 12 pages of mine, warts and all, from 1966, II-D class of Mrs. Smith. So were you “The Type of Boy Your Parents and Teachers Want You To Be”? Also check out the rules and regulations, fee structure, list of school books, prayer, and monthly report. LOL. (PDF @ 300 dpi, 7MB, click on the picture above to view). Can’t help thinking this looks like some ancient Pharaonic relic but I swear I’m not quite that old, haha.

While I was oblivious at the time that one of these ladies was causing some hearts to flutter (lol), I find this photo in the 1973 Columban cool because it looks so different from the usual crop of  stiff n’ posed images. Click on the image for a larger version.
