The Last Flower
The year has pused. [0 lhIs
yev many things have happen·
ed. Happy times and sad times
have COtoe and gone, times o(
growing and learning_ Ti=e
are times that we will always
remember. There are a few
things that we should lAke sway
l/'Olll this erperie.nce end use iD
Out lives.
The most imporl8JlI thlog \ Ie
lAke away from Nazareth is an
education, Nol only our
acadelllic education but our
education lor Ii(e. The quest
and excilemenl for learning is
somethlog that should imbue
ow whole life, Our se<lrch lor
knowledge should Dot end
when we leave IChool hUI
should be a continuing, driving
(OIU io Out daily life, The mind
thai h.as sloppcrl questioning
and searclUng (or trulh has
oeased 10 exi5t_ H opefuUy, Our
education here bas merely servo
ed to whet aUf appetites for the
search that will continue fur the
rest 0{ our li ves.
Another impOrtanl thing we
have learned or practiced in our
~cadeonJc career 'in respoDsibili­Iy
_ The responsibility o( acoep­ling
a job and secit>g il through
to c¢mpletioD and the acoompa.
Dioning sense o( pride in a job
weU done, Nol only doing whal
we are lold but seciDg wluol
oeeds 10 be done and taking the
initiatiYe to do whal needs do­ing.
RespolL!ibility is seeing
everyoDe has an importanl job
and ooone can sli back and take
a <pecUltor posinoo In life.
Respon&ibility is action aod Our
response 10 the call 10 action.
Acceptance is probably the
most important thing we have
learned at N az.areth. We have
Dlct and inleracled with many
differenl people and learned to
like the variety. We've had 10
learn how to adjust our outlook
10 aU ow people thc right to ex·
press their individuality, We've
been dIp()$ed 10 • multitude of
differenl slluatlons and have
had 10 eope In ways we n~er
dreamed possible before coo­lronting
the silU'lion. One 01
the purposes o( college is In in
crease our crposure 10 variety
and. hopefully. stimulate a taste
for trying new experien~, U
th.al', QOI possible. we can at
leasl say I tried it and I didn't
like iI.Experiencing new situa,­tions
and opening our minds 10
them hel~ us grow and in·
creaseS our tolerance_ Not
evel)'onc ha< to be just like us_
[n out expanding world, we
will meet UlAny, rna.oy people,
all o( whom are dllferent. We
will be able to look at Utero as
individuals IUld accept their dil·
fereoces bcc.ou$C we have
learned thot variety is what
makes Iilc intaesting. We have
Issled the spice o( iiie and Dot

should also try to have the besl

Basically what I am ~ to
say i5 thai many of lbose who
are in prisons today are there
because they really had nO
other options left. So why
shouldn'l we help them?

As human beings. we have
the reopoDSibility of doing
whatever we can to preve-nl

whether they be from our

pul.S it, "kept on the fringes 01

As Tom'. compoSltioos
ranged from percussiOll selec­~

innovative character became

pu lsi \Ie percussion piece.
" Prel~de and Fugue for Percus­SiOD,"
employed traditional in­struments
and rhythms. Three
