I am not sure whether this tradition is followed these days, but the Final Year Trip was a fun event of male medical students some decades ago. Those of us who entered the Colombo Medical Faculty in June 1962 set off on this trip that covered Kegalle, Kurunegala, Hatton, Badulla and Ratnapura some time during the long vacation in 1966. Our seniors in those duty stations lavishly hosted us. We on our part, did whatever we could to entertain them.
These few selected pictures tell the story. Off to a start from near the clock tower on Kynsey Road and the stops on the way. In the picture taken in front of the old HO's quarters named  "The Igloo" in Badulla, the central figure in white is Dr. K.M. Saravanamuttu who was two years senior to us. In another picture with the CTB bus in the background is another senior Dr. S. Chitsabesan (in tie). "Marker" of the Men's Common Room who accompanied us and the bus driver too are in the same picture. In Kurunegala, among our hosts were
Dr. Titus Perera and the late Dr. R.S.B. Wickramasinghe.

I am Premalatha Balasuriya (nee Ranasinghe)- 1959 batch, Colombo Medical Faculty
During the period I was in the faculty, there were 2 Buddhist Brotherhood trips per year- a 1day trip and a 2 day trip
Prof Rajasuriya, Dr Jayatillake (Jacko) and wife Dr Soma de Sylva, Dr Malini Silva (all in Prof Rajasuriya’s car) used to accompany 2 bus loads of students on these trips.
I am sending some old photos from these trips taken during the period 1960-64.
