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).
