IN THE NAME OF GOD THE COMPASSIONATE THE MERCIFUL
And God will raise up in rank those of you who believe and have been given knowledge, and God is aware of the things you do.5holy Quran 58-11).
At the initiative of the association of former students of the Mustapha Ferroukhi high school in Miliana and on the 06th of September, 2014, a pleasant meeting was held in the arms factory of Emir Abdel Kader near Miliana, having taken part in this distinguished gathering for the first time, my joy was indescribable to see such components encompassing prestigious Alumni students of the forties to those of the seventies.
Sooth to say that this Respectful association continues to reap the sympathy of the public and even the local authorities, also to mention the presence of The Mayor of the city of Miliana throughout the day.
In a bid to reflect the genuine aim of this association, a lecture by Dr. Mohammed Cherif Ghebalou held in the factory during this gathering of the 06th September 2014 on the theme of the great historical figures of Miliana thereby the notorious Speaker made tribute to these great figures in the history of Algeria such as Ammar Ali (Ali la pointe), Bouras Mohammed Mustapha Ferroukhi ... etc..
After the conference of Mr. Ghebalou, the Miliana manufacturing has hosted poetry, so guests had the pleasure of listening to a poetry reading hosted by Chantal Vincent, a French citizen of Miliana, indeed, everyone was fascinated by the magic words that were spoken by the this lady.
Also taken part in this paramount meeting, a strong presence of quality of doctors, senior state officials, lawyers, retired and former teachers, however the whole seem to give vent to their memories that were raised in an environment where emotion vied with good humor, we have noted People from Algiers, Cherchell Djendel, Ain Defla and Khemis -Miliana, they all found themselves among former classmates, and luckily they exchanges views and jokes under the friendly wave of reunion, and youthful adventures.
Paradoxically as it may seem, and being a student in my final year in 1974 in this notorious high school, we must note that there was no high school in my native city of Khemis-Miliana , but Thanks God and after 40 years it is both beautiful and comforting to see more 10 high schools and a University within this city sheltering more than 14,000 Students in the various sectors of this Knowledge seeking centre!!!!
However , we have noted mobile phones and other cameras in hand, as not to miss this meeting, each in his own way wanted to keep a souvenir of the meeting, before being cordially invited to enjoy a delicious couscous offered by the respected Organizers of this laudable initiative, indeed the initiative itself was strongly applauded by all present in the hope of turning it God Willing into tradition.
At the end, it is true to say that this honourable grouping will surely contribute to renewing contacts and strengthening the links between all former students of this National widely known high school.
