There has always been a close relationship, camaraderie and bond,
among the students of the Class of 1974. Even over 30 years after graduating
from this noble institution - Holmwood Technical High School, the friendships
continued to be strong and have grown stronger in many instances, so much
so that many of us meet for birthday parties, at our children's christening,
graduation and reunions.

It is out of this need for continuous communication and a lasting friend-
ship that the formation of Holmwood  Class of 1974 was born. When some
members of the class met at HOLMcoming 2004, they knew they could not
wait for four (4) long years to meet again. It had to be sooner. So with hearts
and minds all united we planned for a 2006  reunion and a 50th birthday
celebration to highlight the occasion, since many of us would celebrate our
50th birthday that year. Holmwood Class of 1974 knew the importance of
having friends for a life time as Michael W. Smith aptly puts it “Friends are
friends forever, until the end of time….”

For many members of this class, their high school friends still remain
their best friends today, whilst others have extended the group to include
fellow classmates. This is one of the unique traits of the Class of 1974, a trait
that symbolizes pride and loyalty. Because of this bond among us, we often
outnumber other classes when “Holmwoodites” meet at functions for
Holmwood past students.

OBJECTIVES OF THE CLASS OF 1974
As a means of enhancing the group friendship and in keeping the kindred
spirit alive, Holmwood Class of 1974 has purported the following as its
objectives:

1.    To rekindle good relationships among ourselves, hence the need to
meet biennially for a reunion with our families and friends.

2.    To provide a medium through which we can communicate, help each
other as well as celebrate our growth and successes. Thus enabling us “to
stay together.”

3.    To help needy students by fostering a lunch program that provides them
with nutritious meals while they are in school, in addition to other projects
from time to time.

4.    To give general support to the Holmwood school population both past
and present  through a close association with the various chapters of the
Holmwood Past Student Association (HPSA), the principal, staff and present
student body.
