Kaya naman, sa pagpili at pagbili ng mga aklat, ito ang laging isinasaalang-alang. Gng. Noemi Reyes Katiwala ng Aklatan sa Mataas na Paaralan For some, this means long trips to the province or lengthy flights abroad. For many, it means as well as visits and stops at the cemetery. Still for others, it may simply mea spending more time at home with the family.

As Xavier continues to exert effort at offering the best programs for your sons, we have recently tied up with ROS Music Center in developing music related courses for this school year. On my way home yesterday, I met two High One students playing basketball in the High School who simply had to do the ritual thing High School students do to me – ask me what their names were. In the sea of names and faces, I, of course forgot one of them. Therese Pelias, Grade 5 Guidance Counselor/Grade 7 Mentor Why does it seem to be more difficult nowadays to make our children understand what we say? It is almost as if we speak a language alien to their ears!!!

Since the beginning of SY 2006-2007, I have been eagerly anticipating the Grand Reunion of faculty and staff as part of the Golden Jubilee Celebration. When July 28, the red letter day came, I was immediately overwhelmed with a sense of nostalgia, loyalty to the school and a bubbling excitement to renew friendships. 
Last July 15, 2006, the HS Principal’s Office was peculiarly closed for the entire morning. This seemed odd for some, since Saturdays are as busy as the weekdays because of the many concerns of the office. 
Last Tuesday, August 1, 2006 , the first batch of books that were recommended by the Library Development Committee (LDC), headed by the High School Assistant Principals, was approved by the High School Principal, Mrs. Jane Cacacho. 
We all experience changes in our lives and more often than we realize it, these changes are usually for the better. This is no exception: the grade 7 has a new level coordinator. She is Ms. Teresita Fainsan. 
What is the job of a head librarian? This person’s function is to be in charge of the whole Grade School Learning Resource Center (LRC), which includes written materials like books, periodicals, magazines; audio-visual library that houses the movies and learning resource tapes for students and teachers; and the Information Technology Laboratory that houses the computers, data banks and files. 
It is indeed impossible for someone to enter fully into the mind and spirit of Ignacio de Loyola. But it is necessary that the legacy which he left to us, the Church, and the Society of Jesus be made to live on with all the passion and power that he gave to it. 
Aside from the more complex curriculum and new facilities, there are other additions to the growing XS family: the arrival of our new shotis from the grade school and, of course, fresh teachers to meet and greet. For those with teacher blues, here’s a look at the new faces of the XS Faculty. 
Last July 19, 2006, all high school teachers, staff, and guidance counselors elected their new set of FACAMPA officers at the lobby of the High School Faculty Workroom. 
Everyone knows that this school year, we have a new principal. We see her during assemblies, in the corridors and even in the canteen. But what do we really know about her? Well, through this article, we hope that all students will know a little bit more about our new Grade School Principal, Mrs. Jane Natividad. 
Once again, we’re back in school. This isn’t just a regular year; it’s the 50th Anniversary of Xavier. There are once again new things to talk about. More changes have been made, but though our school is expanding in terms of academics, curriculum and many others, very few can say they have been all around Xavier in their career. 
Sr. Lourdina Lanying Liu, the new HS Chinese librarian went back to the convent last July 5, 2006 after a long tiring day of transferring books to the new Information and Technology Center (ITC). The other sisters learned about the task of setting up the new library and they offered to come and help. 
More than four centuries ago, a nobleman and soldier from Spain, St. Ignatius of Loyola, had a heart conversion and committed his life to serving not earthly kings but The Eternal King, Jesus Christ. 
I am in a reflective disposition once again, as I have the propensity to be, most of the time. As a parent, it is imperative that I always appraise and evaluate the value system that I espouse, the role I play in the upbringing of my children, and the manner by which I carry myself in all dealings that pertains not just to my personal development but to my family as a whole.
And true to its motto – be prepared – the Grades Two and Three Class Advisers had their KAWAN Leaders Orientation and Workshop last June 6, 2006 at the Grade School Learning Resource Center.
It may not be Mt. Everest, but Mt. Pulag at 2,922 meters (9,610 feet) in Benguet Province is still one tall, tough mountain to conquer as eleven Xavier School faculty and staff, an alumnus and three guests found out reaching the “roof of Luzon” in a climb dubbed “XPedition” at dawn last June 3, Saturday. 
Last April 22, 2006, Sarah Joy Ocampo and Monico Cabanos, staff members of the Xavier HIgh School unit tied the knot at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine in New Manila. After the wedding, the newly weds were joined by their guests at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Reception Hall. The Xavier community congratulates Sarah and Mon Cabanos. 
His Holiness, Benedict XVI, granted an Apostolic Blessing to the Director and the Xavier School Community: students and their parents, faculty and staff and the alumni, on the occasion of the school’s 50th year of foundation. 
Xavier School is proving to be fertile grounds for Jesuits. In a singular blessing for the Jubilee, another Xaverian, Harvey Mateo (’91) is entering the novitiate at the end of May. 
The Jubilee Year is great opportunity for all members of the Xavier School community, past and present, to renew ties and deepen their fellowship with one another.
