CSR at 75: With Renewed Spirit, One Dream, New Hopes

Tiring.. The Diamond Jubilee Celebration of our school was really tiring but very fun! (:
It was a 4-day celebration. And everyday we hear Mass then lots of activities are conducted.
On the first day was the Opening, Parade, Ribbon Cutting, Band and Bugle Exhibition which was joined by all HS bands here in San Carlos and with the special participation of Saint Augustine Academy of Bayawan (also an A.R. School), Street dancing (Hinulawan festival which was rendered by the Consolatrician Dancers of Toledo City, still an A.R. School), Field Demo Competition and the Student's Night. On the 2nd Day was the Literary Musical and Academic Contest, Dance Drama (CSR goes International) featuring the UNO-R Dancers. On the 3rd Day was a Parade, the Coronation for the Prince and Princess, and the search for the Diamond King and Queen.
On the 3rd Day was the Grand Alumni Day where there was a parade, Get-together by Batch, Games, Dinner by Batch and Disco.

This BIG Celebration is really unforgettable & I cherished every moment. Because of this, I was
able to get to know other Ritarians (unlike before just like a smile,hi & hello) but now I get to know them especially the Freshmen :D And of all the Girls in our class, I'm the only one who joined the Field Demo that's why I gain freshmen friends (1st yr and 3rd yr students were partnered while the 2nd yr and 4th yr as well.. All the remaining girls in our class joined the Dance Drama).

The Field Demo competition was between the HS and College Department and we're so happy that we (with the freshmen) won 1st runners-up while the 2nd yr and 4th yr emerged.
Though we were not the champion, there's still gladness in us because all HS group had beaten the College Students. ahaha.. (no offense! :p)

I'm very happy too, that finally, I am able to attend the school's affair at night.
Hahha.. the smell of total freedom.. :)
I go home at around 12:00 to 1:00 am. Can't blame me, I'm an Usherette and is in
for fun!! (:

What Sister Isis said to us before the Celebration was really nice:
"If you miss the Celebration , you'll miss half of your life
because this happens once in a life time only."
Just telling us to keep us from being absent on the activities. haha (:
But it's true, CSR will never celebrate the 75th Anniversary again.

Thank God we have our rest day on Monday (:

-I'll be uploading all the pictures as soon as the Provincial Meet is finish (:
Papa brought the cam..
