Golden Jubilee: A Look Back

Grandeur and ecstacy. Exciting words. It is as though obnoxious problems were atleast nonexistent and pressing matters were left behind, nonetheless, nervousness came lurching around my stomach as to what would likely be the comeout.
People were frolicking under the scorching heat of the sun. Coupled with great excitement, each was extravagant to make this illustrious event a success - indeed it turned out one.

Sweats and tears were invested through the months. Productivity was honed as each threw a helping hand to make th biggest preparation possible. Ambiance is taking its time to a massive growth before the final date - October.
Communities around the globe, especially in social networking sites such as Facebook, seemed to be already preoccupied with nothing else but the feast before it was even framed.
Such organization upheld all the activities to make the three-day celebration last long. I seemed to have found the statement a fact - the Association of Cateel Maryknollians, Inc. (ACMI) was indeed behind the success of my Alma mater’s fiftieth anniversary, or should I say Maryknoll Academy of Cateel’s greatest milestone to date.

CORY FOR THE WIN?
It was as though another People Power Revolution materialized around the vicinity of Cateel Centennial Park as thousands of men and women paraded in yellow during the beginning of the Golden Jubilee celebration.
October 26 marked a yellow day as people in every aspect applauded in cheers for the institution’s golden harvest. It was as though late former President Corazon Aquino has visited the place for democracy campaign.
The Drum and Bugle Corp. members have showcased a spectacular series of performance in all-new outfits that fitted the occasion (dressed in a combination of black, blue, and gold).

THE FUN BEGINS
Cries of applause shuddered at every respect as Performing Artists from the well-anticipated MAC Dancetroupe showcased a hundred and ten percent performance, leaving the crowd astonished.
The Golden Jubilee cauldron was lit by the great fire ablazed in torches beared by ACMI officers after the well-rehearsed MAC Boy Scouts have successfully presented their Fancy Drill Exhibition.

FIESTA 101
Globetrotting was simply the word to describe in the exceptionally well-built kiosks which stood a mini barrio inside a school ground.
The scenery appeared to be a smaller version of the renowned Kadayawan Festival of Davao City - vivid, truly one of a kind.
Forty-six batches Maryknoll has produced tried to outshine each other as the spirit of competitiveness has mingled with the atmosphere.
