ACD in the 80s
The following is an excerpt of some of the details of the ACD history being written:
An alumna was asked by the staff of The Assumption ’95 to write about her batch in the 80s, and this was what she shared:
Memories Do Linger (an excerpt)
A Class Reunion
Circa ’80 is unique in a sense that it was one of the last few batches that catered exclusively to girls. Admittedly, there is a difference in growing up in this environment compared with a coeducational curriculum. Others say it is a bane while others declare it a blessing. Whatever the opinion may be the following are to be considered as facts for easier recall:
- physical sizes always mark one off as unique anytime;
- athletic prowess makes one popular;
- academic accomplishments get one recognized;
- singers, dancers and actresses find themselves with a name;
- romantic ones get queries; and
- uncooperative still do not show up.
Ma. Erlinda P. Gaanan, Ph.D was former news editor of The Assumption (SY 1979-80). When she wrote the piece above in 1995, she was news editor of Davao City-based magazine The Fox.
It's good to know that not a few Alumni are so enthusiastic with the idea of getting together and joining the upcoming Golden Jubilee celebration. The 1980 batch with the leadership of Ms. Judith (Joy) Puyat-Magnaye are so into it and are so infectious that other batches are catching on up. Mabuhay!!!

Countdown to ACD Golden Anniversary
Softdrinks like the one the child behind a nun was drinking was long a thing of ACD's early past.
Nowadays, security guards on duty stops the entry of any artificial soda drinks on sight.
The NO JUNK FOOD policy of the Assumption College which started sometime in the 80s had set a precedent that was emulated later by other sectarian schools in the City.
