Editorial Departure

By: HELEN MAGAMPON

The day has dawned at last! Nothing is greater in a man's life than the day of his triumph. After four long years of waiting and hoping- years marked with sleepless nights of struggle with books, we are to realize the fulfilment of our undertakings.

This day of triumph has been much awaited day—GRADUATION DAY—a day which fills us with both happiness and sorrow. The moments fill us with joy because we have won what we strived for. On this moment too we feel sad due to parting with our friends and beloved teachers, with whom we have shared countless days of happiness.

But we should remember that the triumph which we have accomplished is not ours alone nor is the pride! There are others behind to whom real credit belongs. All that we are now we owe to our parents and teachers who exerted efforts to make this event possible.

To our beloved teachers, we express our sincerest gratitude for your valuable guidance, for your efforts that you have led us to this day of triumph. We thank you for everything you have imparted to us—the struggle for existence. We shall never forget the unselfish devotions you have show to us.

With our dear ALMA MATER, the PADRE VICENTE GARCIA MEMORIAL ACADEMY we share this glorious moment. To you we owe mostly the realization of this important event in our lives, the maturity of a dream come true.

We are proud to be called your sons and daughters. We feel that we are part of you, the years we have spent in your presence have taught us to respect you.

Now we must depart, and in leaving, we shall strive to be worthy of your examples. We face the future with hope and fortitude, certain that God who guides the destiny of men and nations never abandons whoever follows His guiding hand.

Faculty.. Joined the Intramural

By: MA. LOURDES EVANGELIO

The month of January turned out to be a month of sports. The male faculty members headed by the principal, Mr. Rodeo Gatdula, formed into an instant team participated in the basketball games.

However, their first encounter with the teachers' pet, a senior selection team, proved one thing: they are not yet ready for a championship match.

On the other hand, the game displayed by the female faculty members headed by the assistant principal, Mrs. Macaraig proved to be a very exciting game. They won their initial game in volleyball. The much needed support of the following: Mrs. Pangilinan, Mrs. Salazar, Mrs. Ramos, Mrs. Andan, Mrs. Magadia and Miss Ebite tipped the balance on their side.

What a way to trim down—a real physical fitness on the part of the faculty members! Looking forward to see more exciting games participated in by the administration and all the faculty members.

Rizal Day

By: NERVA AMADA

Last December 30, 1981 the town of Rosario headed by our able and kindhearted Mayor Felicisimo H. Luna with the cooperation of our dear Alma Mater, P.V.G.M.A and other schools within the town, held a simple but colorful and worth remembering program and parade to commemorate the death anniversary of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

The program consisted of the speeches of the town officials, poems, songs and folk dances which were participated in by the teachers and students from different schools especially the P.V.G.M.A. The highlight of the program was the presentation of the drama entitled "The Last Farewell" of Dr. Jose Rizal.

There was a parade participated in by town officials, teachers, students and members of barangay brigade and muses who rose in colorful floats. Representing the Academy was Kronwyn Katigbac with her escort, Rolando Casao. Officers and cadets from our school also joined the parade.

This year's affair was a successful one and everyone is forward for another presentation next year.

Reminiscences of PVGMA: Rosario, Batangas

I've been looking around my old things a week ago and I got across three issues of The PAVIGAMEAN, Official Organ of the P.V.G.M.A. Student Body published around 1982-1983.

Memories my of high school years in Rosario, Batangas came back to mind like something that happened just recently. Time and space were inconsequential with imprints of the past you want to refresh once in a while.

Friends, flames and fires of old come back to life. Ahhh, high school days! Some may have their own ideas. But perhaps, high school days really are among the most treasured days of our lives.

In the succeeding posts, I will reprint excerpts from the above sources so that you will see how we looked at things, how we interpreted the world and what were the things that mattered most for us back then.
