Dear Departed: Dr. Jupiter Moonemalle
Dr. Jupiter Moonemalle is someone who needs no introduction within the St. Anne's College family. His dedication to our cherished alma mater spanned his entire lifetime, marked by active and enthusiastic involvement. As a former President of the Old Boys' Association, he embodied the true Annite spirit.
Dr. Moonemalle was a distinguished alumnus and the second Medical Doctor to emerge from our College. His contributions to the field of medicine were marked by honor and commitments to improving the lives of others. His contributions to the wider community didn't stop there as he tirelessly used his gifted intellect to address various social issues through enlightening awareness programs.
Among his many exceptional qualities and achievements, Dr. Moonemalle's humility and down-to-earth nature despite his elevated status truly set him apart. His life was firmly grounded in his faith, and his way of living and conduct earned praise even from spiritual figures of different faiths.
Yesterday, Dr. Moonemalle was called to his heavenly abode. In diverse faiths, we say, may his soul Rest in Peace in heaven; may he attain the Supreme Blessing of Nibbana. While our Annite family mourns his loss deeply, his memory will forever remain in our hearts and minds, an inspiration for generations to come.

Good deeds, big or small, should not be left unrecognized.
They were just a few pupils from one small class. They collaborated to donate a laptop to the College. Rather than waiting for miracles to happen, they gave the best of the little they got. That's the Annites spirit. Good work from our brothers of the 11D class of 2005.
