Abstract

Delano A. Tecson
Dalisay P. Salgado

Fulltext

Delano A. Tecson does not have the name of the late President Delano Roosevelt for nothing. He too has greatness in his own right. This future attorney was bom on May 10, 1939 in this Queen City of the South to Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Tecson, a well-known radio commentator of a local airline. Delano's first love is politics and to prove this, he has been in the University Student Congress for three consecutive terms. During the council sessions, he never fails to draw the rest of congressmen's attention when he speaks. He goes for Shakespearean play and once acted in a USC Dramatics Club play. An avid basketball enthusiast, he is captain of the College of Law Intramural Team. He is an orator and, he can mimic famous orators. Delano has been winning oratorical contests since high school days. He was only six years old when he recited his first declamation piece, Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" His favorite actor and actress are Marlon Brando and Rosanna Podesta. Paul Anka and Joni James are his favorite singers. Delano can also boast of a singing voice. Girls who have a know-how on the fundamentals of good cooking captivate his heart. Going steady is of course alright, depending on the parties. In the near future, "if fate would not be too unkind," Delano hopes to travel all over the world and then look for a companion for his life. Perhaps. DELANO A. TECSON DALISAY P. SALGADO oroF.'les by ERLINDA M. TALAID Already a member of the College of Commerce Faculty at twenty-one, Dalisay enjoys teaching. But if made to choose between home and career, she would gladly give up the latter. "But the best would be to mix both without neglecting either of them," she said. Dalisay is the fifth in the family of seven children of Architect and Mrs. Ignacio Salgado. She was born in Manila but lived in Cebu city all her life. She has been active in extracurricular activities without neglecting her studies. She graduated last March with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce majoring in Banking and Finance, Magna Cum Laude. In college she found time to be an ROTC sponsor for two years, SCA officer for four years, treasurer of the SCA and Supreme Student Council in her senior year and vice president of the Finance Club. A lover of children, she taught cathecism to children in public schools. Fiction and a little philosophy and poetry sum up her reading tastes. Movies; native delicacies; songs of Mathis, Sinatra, and Day: they are among her likes. Dalisay is at present taking Master of Arts in Economics. That is why she still graces the Council sessions of which she is a representative. Her students say she's strict. Actually she's not, she just can't stand students who sit in class the whole hour only to say, "I don't know Ma'am," when called. SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1961 Page 17
