How would it be when classmates meet again after a decade? Last Wednesday (Dec.10), Department of Banking and Finance held a party for the graduates of the year of 1997, titled as “December 10, The Class Reunion after a Decade” in Chueh-hsuan Chinese Garden in Tamsui Campus. There were some forty graduates accompanied with their families to join in the party, and the scene was very warm and touching.

One of the conveners, Min-feng Chiou, indicates that it was really exciting to see the classmates whom he has not seen for a decade. Besides talking about their current situations, they also recalled the past with joy. It happened that the day was just one classmate’s birthday; therefore, it reminded them a Tamkang’s tradition—the birthday boy/girl has to “receive baptism” in Fu Yuan.

Min-feng Chiou was impressed by the recently established Gymnasium. She said, “The newly-built Gymnasium offers a quite comfortable place to the clubs, and it is different from the former environment of the club-offices with iron-sheet roof.” The party ended with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone agreed that they will hold the party in Tamkang every year to sustain their friendship.
