Sister Bernadette Marie Leon Guerrero says a few words on the 65th Anniversary of the founding of the Santa Barbara Catholic School, of which she is the former principal and amongst the school’s pioneer teachers. The school was founded on September 5, 1950. Accompanying her are, from the left, Sister Mary Cecilia Camacho, Guam Mercy Administrator, and Sister Jeannette Marie Pangelingan, School Principal. Students surround the SBCS Courtyard for the school-wide event, which is commemorated with the planting of the Gausali, a shrub endemic to the Marianas Islands and known for its white flower and branches that contain flammable elements, thus the plant’s common name, Torch wood.
