2007 Annual Homecoming

The XU-AAA Annual Homecoming held last August in Cagayan de Oro City was something of an eyeopener. I had the impression that moving the annual homecoming from December to August was good and appreciated by all if not most of the alumni. Notable on Saturday, August 18 dubbed "Barbecue Night" was the special appearance of the Cascades courtesy of Lito Cruz, XUHS 1967. Too bad very few alumni attended the final night of the homecoming.

Everyone remembers the famous Cascades who gave us the "bye-bye" tunes like Rhythm of the Rain to dance to. Unfortunately, no one seemed to know they were coming, at least that was the impression I got. Anyway, they gave a spirited performance, a prelude to their Limketkai concert the following night. They had just given a memorable performance the night before in Cebu City and it was Cagayan de Oro's turn on Sunday night.

A long line formed at the food table and I somehow got the feeling something was amiss with so many people lined up holding empty plates. Was the XU-AAA charging for the food? I know they were charging for the beer because our class, XUHS Class of 1966 paid for some beers.

There is a page on XU-AAA on Ching's World and if anybody saw it, they might have liked to keep it and probably make it grow. Ching's World will not be keeping that section for very long.
