description: “What a fascinating collection of colegiala’s memories! It is interesting to note the nuances of language, the cultural forces, the forms of discipline, the passions and issues, that defined each generation of colegiala—from Mila Enage of prewar Holy Ghost College to Eunice Noelle Lucero of post-People Power St. Scholastica’s. So different one from the other, and yet, in essence, so unchanging from one generation to the next. Whether or not we want to admit it, much of what we convent-school alumnae have become can be credited to—or blamed on—the American, Belgian, German, Dutch, and Filipino religious women who formed us. That is the happy—or bitter—truth.” – Lorna Kalaw-Tirol, writer and 16 years a colegiala
