your classmates names or whereabouts, please contact us as soon as
possible. Furthermore, if any member of your family, (mother,
father, grandmother, grandfather, sister, brother, aunt, uncle,

A
great loss for education..
 Rafik
El-Hariri was a bright star in the skies of Lebanon, the Middle East
and all the world. His philanthropy, vision, and development plans
were responsible for rebuilding that part of Beirut that was
devastated by the fruitless war. He was a politician of a new
caliber, and was the sponsor of education which resulted in opening
the way for thousands of Lebanese youth to reach higher education;
because he believed that education is the only solution that will
relieve Lebanon of its ills.
with all the high posts that he
held, he never forgot his modest past and sought to help anyone who
asked for his help. It is a great loss for Lebanon, the Arab world
and all the area. It is not easy to replace such an impressive and
active figure. We, The T.E.S. alumni greatly mourn this great loss
although we had no direct connection with this great man; But we
certainly feel the great loss for education, educated people and the
poor and needy who found in him their hope and refuge.
May god bless hid soul.
Rafik
Al Hariri
Rafik Al Hariri was a rich, generous
man
That had a dream and had a plan.
He changed Lebanon after the war
And made it balmy unlike before.
It’s unpalatable that they
assassinated him like that
Is it because he’s good or just
because he’s fat?
This will loom the future of our
country
Much more than a haunted foundry.
Detectives have to assess further
To find out who has caused the murder.
They must search meticulously the
place he died
Even if it takes day and night.
Citizens must make the ominous villain
concede
And it will be the only thing they
need.
Give the killer what he deserves
Maybe by malfunctioning his nerves
So he can’t walk nor run
And surely not use a-bomb or gun

Remembers :
Mr.
Jirji Nakhoul used to sign the top of the first page
for the "Al-Insh'a" test. I was the one who could forge it best
and almost all the class depended on me. However, he used
different color each time, so I had several colored pencils. He
insisted on leaving the large study-room to practice the 'honor
system'. In those five minutes, I felt like honey and 40 bees
buzzing around. Each student had an identical copybook with the
"Al-Insha" was
already written and I signed each one.
PS: The story about
Mr. Andari is very true. In my days we used to write the dicte on
a wooden ruler. Always Zero Fault.
Mr.Musallem, while supervising a study period in 9th grade,
noticed a student whose eyes were too open and was blushing. It
turned out he was looking at Fru Fru magazine, a French nudes
tabloid. He was sent to Mr. Abu-Rustum's office. One hour later I
was called to the office to find my parents there.
Later my Mom questioned me if I had funny feelings while looking
at the pictures. I thougt of telling her that I was trying to read
the French text, so I told her that it was the 'anatomy' which
interested me since I plan to become a doctor in the future!!
That day I went to bed without dinner.

"Stories
from my school time"
How we always got A+ in French
It was the best time, hilarious.
Everybody adored the French lesson with Mr.Andari. No body failed.
Always the same story.. Mr. Andari specified a text
to be memorized by us and we were supposed to write it as
dictation. All the students in the classroom had the text written
in advance and ready in the pocket. Mr. Andari started to dictate
and we wrote anything but French. When the dictation was over ,
the papers in front of us disappeared and everybody pushed the one
in the pocket and presented to Mr. Andari . Do want to know how he
never discovered? Mr. Andari was a very elegant man. His suit,
shirt, tie and shoes were
always impeccable. Every week we had a volunteer who was
responsible to step onMr. Andari's shoes. That was enough to let
our beloved teacher disoriented, trying as fast as possible to
clean the shoes. The result was obvious .. We only learnt to say
"bonjour monsignor Andari".
The Biology test also was fun. Mr. Sartan used to choose the most
difficult
questions for us. The same multiple questions were used in TGS
and later in
TBS. Baria Maknas used to pass for us the questions immediately
after they
finish and we used to study well the answers. Mr. Sartan , for a
long time ,
thought that he was a teacher of a group of Geniuses, until the
day that he
managed to hire a spy and thus "the party was over".

Dear Alumni
On his latest visit to Tripoli-Lebanon , Dr. Hanna A. Saadah,
gifted us with his latest book of Poetry.
Dr. Hanna Saadah (son of Dr. May Saadah, our eldest female
graduate) graduated from TBS in 1963. He then studied medicine at
AUB and went to the USA. He is an acclaimed internist in Oklahoma.
He is currently married and is father to three young men. His book
"Four & a Half Billion Years" is his latest publication. It is a
collection of long poems, sonnets,and short poems "Passionately
written, in small increments, slowly, carefully, tediously like a
painting where every brush stroke is deliberate, calculated and
significant".
It is "an artist's message, hewn from life,
charged with emotion and wrought into beautiful words that dance
to our inner sacred music".
