La Carlota High School, 65th Homecoming!

Another momentous high school life would be reminisced when the members of Class 1970 be together again and joined the 65th alumni homecoming at their alma mater on the 19th day of May this year 2012.

La Carlota High School Heritage Building

"High school life, on my high school life
Ev'ry memory, kay ganda
High school days, oh my high school days
Are exciting, kay saya

"There are times, may problema ka
Kung ang homework, left undone
Pray ka lang, 'wag tawagin ka
Upang di pagtawanan."

Sounds familiar?

This is Sharon Cuneta's song which is very typical of what we're doing during our high school days.

"High school love my one high school love
Not infatuation or crush
Tunay 'to s'ya ang buhay ko
Di n'yo lang alam ako'y nagba-blush

"Bakit nga ba ang first love ko
Ay di serious, so it seems
Kung alam lang ng first love ko
He is always in my dreams"

We're back again to our Alma Mater after 42 long years of absence to join with the 65th general alumni homecoming on May 19, 2012.

This could be a momentous event in the life of those alumni of La Carlota High School/La Carlota City High School/Doña Hortencia Salas Benedicto National High School to be together again and renew their camaraderie, friendship among themselves. This could also be a great reunion in the history of La Carlota High School.

Ang saya ng high school
Same in yours and my school
Di na mapapantayan
T'yak ganyan ang buhay na sadyang makulay
Alaala kaylan man

High school life, on my high school life
Ev'ry memory, kay ganda
High school days, oh my high school days
Are exciting, kay saya

High school life, ba't ang high school life
Ay walang kasing saya?
Bakit kung Graduation na'y
Luluha kang talaga?

Along this forthcoming historical event, the class of 1970 which graduated under the name of La Carlota City High School had finalized Sunday, May 13 their plan in joining this memorable happy-get-together not only of their own respective classmates but with their schoolmates too.

Class 70 President Christine Layson-Guerra ironed out those plans this coming Saturday. While vice president Jose Tionsay distributed the prescribed T-shirts for the class to be worn during the grand parade in the morning of Saturday.

Sorry for those I fail to mention.

High school life, ba't ang high school life
Ay walang kasing saya?
Bakit kung Graduation na'y
Luluha kang talaga?

Ang saya ng high school
Same in yours and my school
Di na mapapantayan
T'yak ganyan ang buhay na sadyang makulay
Alaala kaylan man

High school life, on my high school life
Ev'ry memory, kay ganda
High school days, oh my high school days
Are exciting, kay saya

High school life, ba't ang high school life
Ay walang kasing saya?
Bakit kung Graduation na'y
Luluha kang talaga?

Elisa Gargantiel provided the snacks of delicious lasagna and softdrinks after the metting. While Gaudencio Lingamen distributed his favorite local desert, "bucayo" (sweetened gritted coconut meat).

Let's bring back our best high-school-day memories. See you on Saturday, May 19.
