Staying AliveA Don Bosco Homecoming

Sponsored by Batch 81

It has been 25 years since the best days of our lives…

…our high school life in Don Bosco.

BACKGROUND

It was the era of Annie Batungbakal, the Hagibis, and Vilma loves Bobot.

It was also the time of the high pitched Bee Gees and John Travolta.

CONCEPT

Don Bosco Batch ‘81

Now, let us make our presence felt again in these hallowed walls…

Let us show them that we had been…

And that the same school spirit still lives within each of us…

CONCEPT
