BELEN JESUIT

PREPARATORY SCHOOL

YEAR 1972-1973

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to up root the plant.

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.

A time of love, and time to hate; a time of war, and a time ofpeace

This year's issue of Echoes is dedicated to Armando Rodriguez. As a rookie teacher he has helped many students in many ways. He is an inspiring example of a Christian man. We all thank you. Keep it up I

Gracefulness! !

It's a matter of opinion

Georgie feels at home.

Ripoll's backhand I want you!

I'm watching you silly boy!

You have to steal.

Guess who?

Am I bored man !

Foreword

The Academic Year 1973 was another year of education in the history of our school. Every day of the calendar year was like a step forward in the trodden path of education: a road which your parents and your teachers traveled along.

When you will turn each page of this yearbook and look at its they will remind you of every step taken along this way.

Belen rejoices - this was our goal- contemplating the progress made by all of you. We all became a little more feeling closer to each other. We also became better feeling nearer to God.
