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!!!
