Ello Samsara ... and phoenix...well samsara the term "spadgie" is actually not a derogatory or an offensive name given to North Pointers, we actually use it even among ourselves when we meet during reunions...This name has a long history behind it...way back in the 20s and the 30s...our Upper Divison field (the main field where the Independence Day Celebration takes place)....had wooden fences on the hilly side where the spectators sit...and during any local or inter school competitions...the boys used to sit on these fences..and from below we would look like a line of sparrows...Hence the name spagies.... I came to know about this from Fr. Forestell..who had spent many decades at NP.. unfortunately he died a few years back...He used to tell us many stories..and many about our beloved King Birendra and the more hated Gyanendra and the more unknown Dhirendra..and also about the King of Bhutan...he used to tell us how these two royalties would compete with each other..They even competed on who had more foreign chocolates....He described Gyanendra as being more notorious..on one occasion he was caught drinking rum during a private party among the Jesuits fathers....
