Hi Themistocles
Many thanks for your kind reply. I am now getting a clearer picture of the
Matriculation issue in the 1940s. Asking people around at that time has been
my strategy and it has paid off.
Regards
Cornel

Hi Cornel
Loyola H. School started under the Jesuit management from 1944. As you have
read from postings on the subject from others, that before before this time
it was called Dom Teotonio Union High School, which had failed to attain the
necessary university recognition and was faltering. I joined Loyola in
1944, as I indicated before, starting at grade 2 since I had earlier studied
at the Portuguese primary schools and had attained the required 2o grau.
One graduated at that time after grade 7 (matriculation), and I was 17 years
old when I finished. I would say that the average age for completion was
around 17-18 years. I am not sure if students appeared for matriculation the
very first year, unless they were previously enrolled with Dom Teotonio
Union or were transfer students from other schools.
Best,
Themistocles

Hi Themistocles
Unfortunately, I received no response to my question about the age when
students successfully completed the matriculation exam. As the
'historical
period' is important for some work I am doing, please can you tell me at
roughly what age students passed their matric around 1942 or so?
Many thanks
Cornel

Fr. Jorda S.J. was my first Principal at Loyola High School, Margão in
1944-1945. He was an admirable individual, a great soul and I have vivid
memories of that tim
