ReplyDeleteI want to find more information about Pennathur Subramaniam High School. I went there in 1955. I cannot find a lot of information about the school from back then. Everywhere, it states that the school started on 9th JUNE 1976
ReplyDeleteI would also love to get a copy of the 100 Year Book of P.S. High School.
