Right now, Class 58 is pursuing a fund-raising project for assistance in the rehabilitation of the UPLB DMST headquarters.
For the purpose, Class 58, represented by the officers led by Frank Eala, Class President, are accepting donations. Also, Class 58 is preparing a book on Class 58 to include a brief history of UPLB Vanguards, a list of Corp Commanders, reminiscences of class members about the class and their professors, achievements or accomplishments, brief write-ups of families of Class 58 and such. To help raise funds, the book will accept advertisements. If plans do not miscarry, the actual work on the book begins February 1 this year.
For a sample entry the book, the brief history of UP Vanguards will include the fact that it was established on March 17, 1922 with 3 objectives: (1) to develop patriotic, physically sound, upright and disciplined citizens, (2) to create a Corp of Trained Officers for the Reserve Force, and (3) to take the lead in fostering the University Spirit.
Those 3 objectives have withstood the test of time; they are as relevant today as they were in 1922. (More on book next time.)
