Mr. Wesley Mohan Roy's  Educational Track and His College Days :  Mr Wesley Mohan Roy  was  a studious and intelligent  student since his Primary School days .  He did his Schooling at the then Corley High  School [ Methodist ] at East Tambaram. After having passed his S.S.L.C , Mr. Wesley  joined the famous Madras Christian college to do his P.U.C in the year 1959.  After having passed his P.U.C he pursued his B.A [ Economics] in the Madras Christian College and successfully completed his B.A[ Economics].  During his College days  at Madras Christian College, Ms Wesley  was a popular student and  he was an avid and efficient Footballer. He played for the Madras Christian  College Team and was a Local hero for his fans and many local Football teams vied to get him to play for their Team. He also played League Football,with Ashley Bitts 11 Div and with  Sporting Youngsters a 1 Div team. He was known for his enduring stamina active throughout the game from the start to finish off the field . He was known for his impeccable sense of dressing within the limited means he had and most importantly for his impish franks.  His friends till this day cannot resist a smile when they reminisce about Wesley and his  mischievous adventures in College. One of his favourite pastimes was to entertain his friends with funny lyrics set to Baila tunes. The very cosmopolitan makeup of the M.C.C campus played a pivotal role in shaping his outlook in life and in imbuing a sense of confidence and leadership quality that he exhibited later in life

After his fascination for Football he had a great love for flying  and  so Mr. Wesley Mohan Roy joined the Air Wing of the National Cadet Corps  [ N.C.C] unit of the M.C.C.  He loved Gliding also so much and frequently he was absent from the classes on account of his Gliding practices.. So one of his Professors told Wesley's friend " Tell Wesley not to glide in the examination " .After graduating in Economics he longed to take up Flying as his career but his impecunious condition and the impending compelling need to support his parents in running the large family forced and convinced him to abandon his cherished dream ..
