Introduction Vernon Regis (VR) joined the College around 1954. The first thing we noticed about him was that he was extremely polite, had pleasing ways, and made friends easily. Like Aloysius Peiris who had joined a few years earlier and had chosen to be a priest, VR too appeared to be of priestly material. Our priests had the knack of infusing new blood to the College from time to time, and they invariably turned out to be 'gems'. VR soon became a hero both in the cricket field and the football field. He was a match winner both with bat and ball. Fr. Vernon Regis S. J.
