Dyaran! Ayan na ang mga Cowgirls & Cowboys!

3:00 p.m. Registration at Arnevel's Le Jardin. Motiff was Western so semi-casual attires were worn by our Kabatch '73. Registration pa lang, grabe na ang sigawan, tawanan, kodakan! Imagine 35 years ago pa ang huling pagkikita ng marami sa atin. Kaya yung excitement na nagsimula sa misa nung umaga nadoble/triple nung gabi na.

24 from the Boys and 48 from the Girls attended the evening program. Syempre kasama ang mga asawa at anak.

Evelyn Duran and Evangeline Yumang were adjudged Best Cowgirls by our teacher-judges later that night.

Napagod ang Girls sa kasisigaw at katatawa with Kabatch
na matagal nilang hindi nakita.

Klaro sa tindog pa lang nila Evelyn ug Cef nga cowgels gyud sila (bakang ba?)

Gi-demonstrate ni Glyn kung unsang tamang pagsakay sa kabaw (ay! kabayo diay). Dapat daw pa-demure (de-kwatro) ug patakilid.

As usual, the boys are at the side, quietly watching the girls go by. 35 years ago, sa plaza ni sila gakaon og banana cue samtang gahulat mogawas ang girls sa gates sa NDD Girls Dept.

Cowgirls na busy sa registration. Ang asawa ni Bong Cruz na si Grace nagvolunteer na maglettering sa nametags sa mga Kabatch.

Moments of Sharing with the Orphans of St. Gemma

Batchmates distribute gift-bags to the wards.
Gilbert: Paano ba pakainin ng fried chicken ang batang ito? Hirap nitong walay praktis puro theories.

St.Gemma wards welcome Batch '73. Ate Paz Salazar: Maraming maraming salamat sa tulong at panahon na binigay nyo sa aming mga ward.Toto Soguilon, Nonoy Dolorosa, Nante Santos, Cesar Aranas, Julio Firmalino, Pons Amo & Rosenie Tupas: Unsan man, ibagliya nato ning motor ug idonate ang halin sa St. Gemma's?

One of the major beneficiaries of our solicitation efforts from advertisers for our Souvenir Program is St. Gemma's Orphanage which shelters, feeds, clothes, and sends to school wards aging from 2 - 16 years old.

Sonia Garcia-Lauzon and the rest of the Girls Alumni core group packed gift-bags of personal necessities for each ward. Batch '73 distributed these to the wards. One boy upon opening his gift-bag cried out: Yay! Now I have briefs!

Bong Cruz brought a big box of used clothing while Kristan Bookstore donated school supplies. A 25-kilo bag of rice was also given to the Orphanage.

Packed lunchboxes filled with spaghetti and fried chicken and fruit juices were also given to the kids. Our batchmates also helped feed the children.

St. Gemma's directress, Ate Paz Salazar thanked Batch '73 profusely for the assistance extended to the orphanage.
