A National Solidarity

this end in view a national solidarity week has been observed every year since
1947. There are many official and public function held in the course of the

v In my school the preparations to celebrate it were taken in hand
a. few weeks before the solidarity week was to be launched. Our art rooms
became virtual workshops turning out placards, posters, and slogans for display
in classrooms, in the hall and in other important sections of the school. The
class with the best solidarity poster was promised a picnic by the seaside. In
addition the poster would be entered in the state solidarity week poster
competition. I am glad to say that the poster designed and painted by my class
was adjudged the best entry not only in our school but also in the whole state.

v During the week, my school held daily assemblies instead of the
usual one held only on Friday. At all of them, the national flag was unfurled
and the national anthem was sung.The school choir led the gathering in the
singing of patriotic songs like a Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan. The headmaster read
the Solidarity day message on the first day and spoke on the need for national
solidarity. On the remaining days of the week some leading personalities
including the state Chief Education Officer addressed us.

v As suggested by the Chief Education Officer, many boys and girls
in our school invited their classmates and schoolmates of communities other
than their own to visit their homes and stay with their families. The
'Operation Little Cultural Exchange', as we called the movement, contributed
tremendously to good will and understanding among the pupils concerned. All
'visitors' were required to make a report each to their classes. Many admitted
that before visiting the homes they had visited, they had looked down upon the
communities of their hosts. Now, however, they had changed their minds. In
future they would invite their friends of all communities to their homes and
visit there if invited.

school magazine. Besides, the writers of the best essays were given the honor
or reading them at a weekly assembly each.
