The Golden Jubilee reunion of the United High School Class 1958 in May, 2008 is the focus of gradual but steady planning and preparation by members of the class even as they are now scattered all over the country and even abroad.
Retired Caramoan Municipal Treasurer Gregorio Recto who has been requested to act as coordinator by members of the class made up of two sections said he has personally contacted already a number of members of the class all of whom have shown great enthusiasm in the coming get-together which actually will be the first since their graduation nearly 50 years ago.
Recto said he hopes to reach more than half of the surviving members of the class before the end of the year and expects to gather in a meeting the core group within the first quarter of 2007.
