It was the first Golden Anniversary that was marked in the 72 year existence of the high school run by the La Salette Fathers in Santiago, Isabela. The small acacia tree in the parade grounds has grown tall, their branches now provide a wide shade, according to one of them who also recalled that Santiago City was then a sleepy town. They came from Palawan, Ilocos Norte, (my townmate Marshall Cruz who owns Namnama Trading housed in a 3-story building along Bacarra Road) Guimba, Nueva Ecija, The US Mainland, Canada. There were 120 graduates then, 20 have died, 60 have come for their golden anniversary. That shows how close and connected you are to each other, said Fr. Frank Picio, president of La Salette University, who celebrated the morning mass at the high school chapel.One of the advisers, Sister Esrtrella Ner, was also there, still sprightly at 76.
