In Memoriam
Letters to the editor
I carry with me tons of fun memories from IC. In the
classroom, I think French was the most enjoyable class. We
were always trying to put words together, and I’m sure every
sentence was a complete disaster! The greatest memories
though were with the football team. I really enjoyed the
tournaments and practices, especially the ones where no one
felt like playing and coach Rabih went crazy. I still recall our
trip to Egypt and how fun that was … Great times!

Roger Valla, then Director of the Secondary School French
Program, used to often participate with our 1ère and Terminale
daily “excursions.” I recall one day when he had told us we’d
be walking a gentle slope around a hill to get to the top; I had
decided as an athletic young man and senior scout to take
the short cut and escalade the rocks. Some five minutes later,
upon reaching the summit simultaneously, he had exclaimed
‘mi-figue, mi-raisin’ with his old sense of humor: «Monsieur
Sehnaoui, la ligne droite n’est pas toujours le plus court
chemin!»
