My friends in high school consisted mostly from our OLSHA class known as Batch '61.
It was also in high school that gangs became very popular. We formed our own gang which we called the "Buswaker Gang", a corruption of the words "bush whacker" which one of our group, Dante Riodique picked up in one of the old western movies.
The members of the Buswaker gang were:
1. Dante Riodique (deceased)
2. Alfredo Ang
3. Nonito Cristobal
4. Gil Fernandez
5. Reynaldo Leyda (deceased)
6. Romeo Dubal
7. Daniel Rondon
8. Daniel Vigilia
9. Marciano Urfano
It was during 3rd year high school that one of our instructors, Mr. Pantaleon ordered our group to form another line in the class formation during assembly time. He claimed that we were noisy and unruly!

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION
Our batch graduated in 1961. OLSHA'S director then was Fr. Reinier Van Glansbeek, MSC and the principal was Sr. Angeline Atabog, SFIC. I particularly remenbered during our graduation when Sr. Angeline approached Mamang and whispered to her, "salamat Mrs. Cristobal at naka-graduate na din si Nonito!" I was quite naughty in high school particularly in 3rd year that my mother was called several times at the principal's office! But in the 4th year I studied hard and I ended up with the 3rd Honorable Mention Honors, the highest among the graduating boys' section.
OLSHA in those times had the boys and girls in separate sections. The members of the graduating Class 1961 were:
