Class 63, 61, and 55.

Zeno, Marlo, and Heidi.
Thanks Rudy for correction on earlier photo. Yes, Class 63 members were freshmen when we were juniors.  Irene Dacumos-Meneses of Class 60 used to accompany us on the piano for our practice dances and presentations.  Then, she graduated, and so Zeno was recruited to play the piano for us!! A belated thank you, Zeno.  (photo courtesy of Zeno's FB)

High school building - at the back

When we go from the main building to attend an event at the Auditorium, we would use the back stairs and then walk a few meters towards Burnham Park.  We would walk, run, or slide  along pine trees and pine needles and pine roots jutting out at the reddish clay soil which stuck to the shoe soles just after the rain.  On sunny days we sometimes sat at the foot of the tree trunks cushioned by the pine needles, and did our H.E. projects: sewing, crocheting, knitting, or reading, or whatever. We even had an overnight Girl Scout camp there, but moved on to one of the classrooms when it started becoming too cold and damp to sleep outdoors!  Those trees are long gone, and replaced with more annexes and more classrooms.

BCHNS Anthem

Being unfamiliar with the tune, I just listen to the singing and to the maroon and white City High Band, as they go through the lyrics and music of this BCHNS song.  It does not bring a lump in my throat.  It does not stir in me some pleasant thoughts.  It does not soar my Inner Self to heights. But here it is...
