Be honest about chan

My young friend was
crying a bit as she said: “I'm
ashamed of myself: It’s like
I'm a traitor to my own
mother and father. They are
so sincere and dedicated to
what they believe and now
even though they did
everything in the world to
pass on to me what they
stand for, here J am, their
daughter, finding I can no
longer hold to what I was
taught. I feel like I'm letting
down the team.”

I asked her if her parents
taught her to be honest. She
smiled, wistfully and = an-
swered, “Did they ever! It
was ternbly important to
them for me to be honest
about everything. Why did
you ask that?”

I told her |

had just

. her,

assumed they would be keen
on truthfulness and was
wondering if she felt they
would want her, now, to be
dishonest about her
changing beliefs. She
hesitated, but said she was
sure they would not want her
to be dishonest.

We saw, together that
they were trying to teach
first of all, to BE a
certain kind of person. The
“creed” they taught here,
although very important to
them, was really secondary
to the quality of life they
wanted for her. She saw that
by sticking to the “creed”
(but setting aside her in-
tegrity) she would certainly
be letting down the team in
an area of experience that is
of utmost importance to her

folk and of paramount
importance to herself.

As she was leaving the
office, I remembered from
highschool memorization
days. “To thine own self be
true and it follows as the
night the day, thou canst not
then be false to any man.”

If we were together in the
same room, I think I could
win a bet with you. I'd bet
that there's something
you've been putting off and
putting off and putting off.
And I'd also bet that each
lume you put it off, it gets
harder to NOT put it off
anymore. Right? Harder and
harder it gets. So?

So do it now — today —
and give me credit for

A showcase for jazz

FROM PAGE C1

Jazz Band at the recent New
Westminster Jazz Festival.
Last year it was the best
band all around at the
festival.

“We're very proud of our
kids and what they're
doing.” Kart says.

It can only get better, he
feels. Next year the school
will have a junior jazz band,
giving so-inclned students
more years to develop their
jazz talents.

The festival is partly
designed to “show off and
showcase jazz music” to
students and parents, so they
realize there is a place to go

The bands will be well

The Chaffey College band
has been named best jazz
band in California, and in
the past has played Mon-

trants, including Carson
Graham, have nothing to be
ashamed of, he says.

“We're not talking high
school stuff.” says Karr
proudly.
