Abstract
Events come and poss! Some events
become bygone history while others
become a living history. But the fact that
some events leave behind memorable
traces, is yet another .timely truth.
Such was the 2006/2007 Tangazo
inaugural moss that took place on the
21 th Aug, 2006. Someone would rightly
claim "this was just like any other Ton
gaza annual event!" Sure it was! But I
believe there ore some aspects of lru~h
in what the author of Animal Form
claims, "oil animals ore equal but some
ore more equal than others". This could
apply to events like the one we describe here.
The day was graced by a bright
sunlight since we hove not had that kind
of sunny day since about two months.
By 8.00am, students from various institutes begun to arrive. Yes, oil looked
cheerful; indeed it was a meeting ofter
a long break. Indeed the inaugural
function began with exchange of news
and views from all corners of the world.
To the first years especially myself,
everybody seem familiar at a point,
and. this mode me to. tell myself that
Tangozo will surely be a home for me
in the next 4 years, keeping in mind the
words of the DPA, "study and socialize
in Tangaza".
The apex of the day wcs the Holy
Eucharist, by 8.30 om the procession of
more than 30 priests approached the
altar. Fr Tim Redmond the Principal welcomed Fr.Maurice Schepers, 0.P the
Chairperson of the Board of Governors,
who was the main celebrant. Everything
was really well prepared, thanks to the
school choir. Their melodious songs were
lively and added life to the hole liturgy.
The student body also participated very
well in the whole celebration.
At the end of the celebration many
headed towards their various classes to
catch the first lesson of the year which
began by 1 0.35orn.
Fist impression they say, lasts longer,
and the good impression I got the first
day will linger in me. There is a common
saying "leave the place better than you
hove found it" this is my wish for you.
The second wish is to leave a legacy
behind' Robert Sharma in his book "who
will cry when you die" expresses more
beautifully "when you were born you
cried while the rest of the world rejoiced, live your life in such a way that
when you die you will rejoice while the
world cry.
May all who dwell here become proclaimers of the mystery of faith.
