Do You Remember???

Mon (Mr. Amnesia) Salas probably don't but we will keep reminding you the memories that you might have had in high school.

We'll have retro pictures not only of the batchmates but some of the older batch.  The "atbp" on our website name would qualify the other batch and we will try to offer our services to find their/our buddies no matter what batch their in.

As we continue to make more memories, we will share them with you as they unfold.  On top of the list is the BIG ONE in Manila.  The Meeting-Fr. Erick's Birthday Celebration was graced by 39 of our finest batchmates.  As big as it was, it's only a prelude to the bigger family day in November.  The Cajiuats and Abads are making memories in Vancouver.

Let us remember our late teacher, Mrs. Fernandez.  And Terry Javier-Abad share some of the memorable moments in E-3 in Class of the Month.

 

THS BATCH '78:
Hirit Muli

The second batch meeting/fellowship turned out to be the mother of all meetings.  The Manila core is getting bigger and better.  Read this vivid narration from Fr. Erick and you will feel like you were a part of the gathering.  Will definitely make the Americans and the Canadians go back home.

Dinner in Vancouver

It was a great reunion for the Vancouverites when Ruben & Fenchie invited  our Richmond couple...Terry and Julius and their family for a delightful dinner.

Goodbye AfterMath '78

     After 8 months of continuous monthly updates, the organizers of AfterMath '78 decided to pull the plug in the name of unity.  It was unanimously voted that the Math group is now a part of the bigger family, the Batch of '78 and we will continue to do the updates with the rest of the batch in KaEskwela, atbp.
    It was a successful venture and we were able to get updates on about 70% of the class in 8 months.  We believe that AfterMath has served it's purpose. 
     We want to thank Nell & Evelyn, Lex & Tess, Riz & Dana for their unparallel help and support in keeping the updates.  We also want to thank Dante (our CIA/FBI agent) who help us find a lot of our old buddies.  Thanks so much to everyone who sent their updates and pictures and stories.  You all made AfterMath 78 possible and successful.
     We will track down the rest of the batchmates and we will all be under one main group.  The subgroupings in the Infopage is just for convenience in organizing the information. 

     Thank you Math Group for all your initiatives !!!
