As we look back, we stop to think why that year now past means so much to us. What made it memorable, exciting? Often, we find that only the happy, joyful moments remain unforgettable, only the new experiences come back in reverie. Forgotten are the monotonous regularities of Prepian life. Left only are the memories of . . .
    The most expensive and uproarious elections ever held . . . a year notable for the numerous suspensions, reprimands, disciplinary action . . . An exhilarating tour through five provinces to Baguio . . . a four-section freshman class . .  A district meet hosted by our local Interact Clubs . . . An inter-school chess tournament . . . an active and reorganized newspaper . . . "South Pacific" . . . The Glee Club Concert . . . A piano for the school . . . A caroling group of Prepians and their bookshelves for the library . . .  The nine NSDB scholars . . . New clubs . . . The new Alma Mater Song of U.P Prep . . . The Vice President and his promise of a lot for a future Prep site . . . The third floor flood . . . Students selling Juffru and chocolates . . . Roses for girl crushes . . .
    These were the things that made 1965-1966 distinct. One did not simply have to exist during these times -- one had to live. It was a terribly exciting year,  made even more so by the character and attitudes of the Prepians themselves.
    Clashing between one another when in discord over certain matters, working together for the common interest, these prepians gave much to the making of a memorable year.
    Ultimately, as we gaze in retrospect at that year, 1965-1966 had meaning only for those who had "lived" it.
    To each and every Prepian, 1965-1966 was memorable for his own personal reasons, but most of all, because he had a part in the making of that year.
