1991-07-06 - More Summer Course Notes

These are probably from the talks in the school assembly which gave a condensed version of the Summer Course talks to all the boys of the Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School (VIII to XII). The school assembly in those years used to be in the lobby area as soon as one enters the school building, with students seated in a T-shape along the corridors to the left and right as well as in the centre, facing the staircase.

This is a later photo of the school lobby. In 1991, the murals and sayings were absent, and the chairs were of a different type.
