Why is it that the Alumni does not have a body that represents the interests of both NESHS and JRLMHS alumni?

Based on my Internet search findings, there are, presently, alumni
groups representing the following Classes;

NESHS Class of 1958
NESHS Class of 1959
NESHS Class of 1962
NESHS Class of 1967
NESHS Class of 1985
(No JRLMHS alumni web site found to date)

It is not known if other classes have web sites of their own or have a
formal or informal organization of some type. It is also not known if
there is a "NESHS-JRLMHS Alumni Association" anywhere. If there is no
"NESHS-JRLMHS Alumni Association" anywhere, is there a need for one?
What are your thoughts on this matter?

A COMMENT ON THE NAME "NESHS-JRLMHS WORLDWIDE ALUMNI COMMUNITY"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No offense meant to the alumni of "Gapan National High School" (or
"GNHS" for short). No exclusion of GNHS alumni is intended in this
community board. In the process of setting-up this board, a name for
the group was needed, and the shorter and more appropriate the name -
the better it is. The "best", "shortest" and appropriate name that
this writer was able to come up with was "NESHS-JRLMHS WORLDWIDE
ALUMNI COMMUNITY".

Looking at the name now, and now knowing that the school was at one
time named GNHS, the board's name is now recognized as not truly
appropriate. But we will go with the given name for now and until such
a time that more input -- on the most appropriate community board name
-- could be obtained from other alumni.

(A side comment: This "naming" problem is one that the school's alumni
inherit when the school's identity is not respected; and the school is
re-named -- without regards to the alumni's preferences or sentiments
-- a number of times).

NEW NAME OF THE COMMUNITY BOARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following a policy of inclusiveness, the name of this board was
changed on February 12, 2009 to ""NESHS-GNHS-JRLMHS WORLDWIDE ALUMNI
COMMUNITY" (from the original "NESHS-JRLMHS WORLDWIDE ALUMNI
COMMUNITY").

The name change is for the benefit of alumni who attended the school
when the school had the name "GAPAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL".

Thanks \ Horatio L. (NESHS Alumnus)
