This blog was created as a tool to help the IHS Class73, Iloilo High School Alumni Group locate as many members of our graduating class 1973 as possible. This is my way of saying THANK YOU to all of those who work tirelessly in bringing us all back into the fold. Please enjoy the reminiscing, the tour down memory lane, and be updated with the latest news from home and other parts of the world.
