To my co-Alumnae and Chronicler readers, The second issue of the year is always a pleasure to prepare . This is when we feature the July Homecoming Celebration Week -- so much material available to work with, mostly pictures making the newsletter largely a pictorial. But the pictures of happy faces, depictions of enjoyment tell their own story making for not much need for words.. The coverage of the Institutional Welcome on Friday takes on more pages as it gains a more significant role in the re-igniting of the Theresian Spirit. A week before, the Silver Jubilarians led the Alumnae outreach actiivity. Then came the traditional components - the Eucharistic Celebration, the evening programme of dances. the dinner. And underlying all the activities was the warm camaraderie of friends who shared the Theresian upbringing. Loyalty for the school was re-awakened by a brouhaha and a legal battle the school got embroiled in this year -- this loyalty theme we hope to have depicted well in this issue’s cover.
We thank Tonette Pañares for her valuable input on the background and meaning of various Homecoming activities, We also thank all who sent in enjoyable stories and pictures of minireunions -- in this issue, from as far as Belgium, New Zealand, and Hollywood! Enjoy the issue!
