The monthly meetings are held on schedule with increasing numbers in attendance. With three months to go and the gymnasium project now fully operational, all systems are almost ready to go for the eventful 2008 STCS Diamond Jubilee celebration.

The STCS Class of 1975 is one of the core planning teams actively supporting the preparations for the Diamond Jubilee. Right after the Nov 11 2007 alumni meeting, Class 1975 proceeded to the residence of batchmate Noli Bautista in Gueguesangen, Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan to celebrate his birthday.
