Alumni of Sagay National High School celebrated their 57th Foundation Anniversary on the theme “Onward for More Laurels,” May 2 to 4. The anniversary was well-attended by alumni now based in other countries all over the world.

The three-day affair featured fun, frolic and nostalgic memory from alumni of all ages. They looked and felt young once again in getting together with former classmates, groupmates, and even sweethearts, from way back then.

There was no dull moment for the revelers, inspite of the heavy downpour, later followed by scorching heat. The climax of the occasion was the torch parade by alumni.

The crowning of the alumni Queen Phoebe Nichols Maravilla, of Class 60, the book launching of Evelyn Miranda Feliciano of Class ’57, programs, sumptuous dinner, and the get-together lunch hosted by Mayor Freddie Maranon II, were some of the highlights.

For their Golden Jubilee, three of their mentors were present: Angeles Katalbas Piccio, Anita de Leon Katalbas and Esther Tupas. The classmates offered a silent prayer for their departed classmates and teachers. God bless SNHS!

Remember: Stop wishing for things you complain you have not, and start making the best of all that you’ve got.*
