To all former Ateneo students:
Hi. This is Mr. Tamidles. If you still remember me - I was at AGS from 1979 until my retirement in 2002. Those of you who were under me - please keep in touch. I just want to know how you have been through these years and how you keep up the real world in the real life.
I am right now here in New York City (since 2002) and I am teaching at a Catholic School. I used to tell my students how Ateneo students were during those years and how brilliant they were.
My students here in New York could not believe that Ateneo Grade School is located in a sprawling campus complete with amenities like big auditorium, big cafeteria and a swimming pool. They are amused of the 16 basketball courts that we have at the grade school with all students playing basketball at the same time and passing the ball and knowing their playmates. I was also amazed of that kind of skill! Those were the years.
And of course the many contests that we were very much involved - elocution, pagbigkas, choral recitation and the pressure and the tense moments of the judging - and how we won, defeated, walked out (he he he he he) and all those beautiful and wonderful times we shared together. Of course the intramural games and the class nights and the campings (for all the boy scouts who were with us), etc. etc. etc. Those were really the years. Missed all that.
Please get in touch.
Mr. Tamidles
