This
is 4-43, the cradle of future leaders…

It
all started Wednesday Morning, June 6, 2001, 7:15 AM at the used to be
Covered Court # 2 of San Beda College Grounds. Back then, San Beda
didn't have those gorgeous chandeliers, old-rose tiles, awarding of
Cups in replace of "banners" during Quarterly Convocations, 5-star
comfort rooms, Dom Felipe Cafe, the Enchanted Kingdom Entrance
Gate, air-conditioned science laboratories, the St.
Placid Sports Complex with a flooring worth P100,000,000, and Pentium
IV powered computers at the computer lab with Windows XP as the
operating system. During those days, you will not see Ronald McDonald
at the 1st Floor of La Residencia Dormitory of La Consolacion College, not even the various food franchises at the Snack Bar.
Everything just eventually grew and developed at the sacred room "23D" at the 3rd floor of St. Benedict's Hall [which is now occupied by the Nursing Bldg] with a tag attached at the upper part of the door "43 St. Bernard".
The story of 4-43 underwent many challenging yet fun and memorable chapters,
with unpredictable plots. The story still
continues, having the 100th Commencement Exercises as the most recent
chapter. Nobody knows what will go on with this story and what will be
the ending.

However, one thing is certain: before
year 2027 comes, everyone in this class wil be able to reach the stars, for
this class is a rare breed.
