Class of '64 RI boys...

Front page news on old RI boys who gather together to publish a book "Under the Banyan Tree" and talk about old times. Noteworthy is not all get good results. There are boys who get zeros for their exams. The reason is because many were poor and have to help out their parents and so do not have much time to study. It is also humbling for many to see others who scored top scores.

The other noteworthy the group consist of a taxi driver and a few millionaires and everything in-between. So going to RI is no guarantee for success. However the norm curve leans to the more successful. Simple - there is only one taxi driver but a few millionaires. The odds of becoming a millionaire is higher for RI boys.
