Jaipur House, Doon.

Jaipur house, originally known as Thomas House, moved into its present buildings on 27th of March 1937. Mr. C.L. Howell was the first housemaster. He stayed in the house till 1941, when he joined the Gorkhas and went on to be ordained as a priest. Twenty boys were transferred from the three existing houses as 'Pilgrim Fathers'. They formed the nucleus of which the forty new boys were rapidly organized to form the new house. Mr. Lovraj Kumar, who later became the chairman of the board of governors, was one of those twenty. In 1947 Jaipur House held 69 boys out of the total strength of 300 of the school.
