Looking forward to meeting old classmates, kababaryo and ka-eskwela
sa Rizal Institute. God willing I will be there. . . See you all there!

What I like most is my participaton in drama play and been directed by Salesian Sisters, that Sister Ana Maria would slap gently my face to make me cry which is needed in my role at that moment.

Was a writer contibutor in the school paper and regularly asked to write in the paper's nook, I forgot the name.

I enjoyed much also the weekend assignment of feeding the pigs and some of the boys would help us in doing it. I won't forget the banana cue time during recess time which we buy from a house near the school.

I will always treasure the teaching prowess of Mrs. Rodriguez (HIstory) and Mrs. Garaza (English), they were really so good.

The Saturday night escapades, parties with Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, I like that.

High School Life is unforgettable!
