In order to keep old Nabhaites informed about one another as well to keep them in touch with School (and vice versa),  a medium for flow of information was necessary. Thus was born ‘The Eagle’ as an initiative of Dr Jashanjot Singh Bhangu (S-52,1967). He was also the Founder Editor. It was initially called the “ONA News Bulletin” when it was started in early 1980s from Nabha. Its printing and postage costs were met by advertisements from Old Nabhaites on the last page . Later in a meeting the name ‘The Eagle‘ was adopted because of its presence on the school emblem and its sheer symbolism of ‘Onward and Upward’. With its advent, the dormant feelings of Old Nabhaites for the PPS were aroused and the response was enthusiastic. ‘The Eagle‘ contributed greatly to bonding within the ONA.

There was no issue after 1985 as Jashanjot left Nabha. It was restarted by Dr Jashanjot (S-52, 1967) and Ashwani Aggarwal (J-144, 1974) as active co-editor from Jalandhar in late 1990s, with an initial contribution by the then President Vinod Kashyap (J-65,1967).

Initially it was brought out  in print format. The printing and postage of almost three thousand copies at one stage cost money , hard work and time. The physical part involved repeated visits to the printer and multiple proof readings etc. Getting printed envelopes, folding each copy of The Eagle to fit the envelope, making address stickers, printing them, cutting them and pasting them on envelopes, sticking postage stamps on every envelope (imagine doing it almost 2500+times) and finally taking them in bunches to the post office for posting  was indeed a laborious and tedious process. The rewards were the compliments and highly appreciative wonderful responses that poured in from Old Nabhaites , which were very gratifying. Without touching ONA funds, “The Eagle” was managed with donations from generous Old Nabhaites.These donations were mostly fifty or hundred rupees, sometimes few hundred rupees  and occasionally as high as sponsorship of an entire issue  (routed through ONA).  The sponsors’ names were mentioned in the particular issue itself.

Later, with internet technology, The Eagle was gradually converted fully to an E zine which could be managed on personal computer with internet connection. This led to freedom from any financial support. Dependence on donations was over. Still later , photographs were added to E zines as there was no cost addition. However, a lot  more physical effort and time were essential.

Reading the issues from the beginning will give the readers an idea of how ONA was evolving.  The effort  was made to send out positive vibes only and always. The issues around Golden Jubilee were attributed mostly to recording history of the school after a lot of personal research by Dr Jashanjot as well as  collecting articles from different personalities.

Now the time has come for the baton to pass and some talented fresh Old Nabhaites to take over the mantle of running it. Initial guidance can be provided.
