PINKY REMEMBERS

........Pag-asa holding up three fingers and saying, "she had fifteen operations!"

.......teaching ourselves the cheering routines for the Sportsfest competition and winning the much-coveted top prize

.....our male classmates gallantly escorting us to Junior-Senior Prom after the Juniors claimed not one of the Senior girls would be able to get dates

...the formal dinner that showed the class disparity, between the "guests" and the "servers".

.....preparing fried chicken at the homes of Miss Lourdes Villaluna and Mrs. Nellie Aquino, for our Christmas festival dinners

.....Dean Abelarde surprising us just before Chemistry class, demanding to know who brought a transistor radio (now it can be told: it was actually a tiny turntable brought by Tita Sabandal!)-

......Tita bringing her long-playing record of "West Side Story" everyday for a year, it seemed.

.......Going en masse to see a Tagalog movie at Dalisay theater; and reciting snippets of dialogue from said movie many years hence. (Noel's favorite was: What? Kapatid? She - our sister? Oh no! Grandma, Grandma!)

.....Playing "spirit of the glass" and scaring ourselves silly

......Creating our own short-lived newspaper entitiled "The Daily Ewul-ewol"
