The second semester closing ceremony address
2023-12-23
Good morning, everybody. In last year, I was affected by the new coronavirus infectious disease and was a closing ceremony by the broadcast just after the school closure. I can reach today and am glad that all the students gather in a hall in this way safely in this year very much.

Mass of the 60th anniversary of star Elementary School foundation of the dawn than 9:00 was held today, and I attended it, too. It is done kaesaten in this September, and it will be new in memory of that the meeting which Mali Francis deragarude remembers Sr in this hall on November 14 was performed. I looked the time for 60 years since I visited Japan in October, 1948, and she contributed to a mint for the opening of a school of our school and was made an effort for the star elementary school opening of a school in dawn of April, 1964 as the second director, and the Principal star elementary school first generation in dawn was acted as. In addition, today's mass was held by the Bishop Shirahama of the Hiroshima parish, Father Frederick, Father Mikhail, and our school came over. (here, I introduced bishop and father of two to a student.)

Well, do you remember students, the next words?

Let's use "the tongue" to say words and the words of thanks to encourage people…

Let's use "the ear" to listen to a person's words till the last…

Let's use "the eyes" to look at someone's good place…

Let's use "the hands and feet" to help people…

Let's use "the heart" to know a person's pain…   (Yuto Koshizuka)


For this semester, what kind of growth would be an accomplished term? It was the second semester when I started by the picture of "the class of the life" of Koshizuka and these five words. It will be that people who made an effort who can use the "mouth" "ear" "eyes" "hands and feet" "heart" like these words approach "the sympathy" that is aim this year namely "the ability to put own body in the position of people, and to understand a pain and pains, a feeling, and to be able to share" (I can share it). In addition, it is proof of the growth of individual that many people played an active part in a wide variety of fields for this semester and is glad very much as commended some time ago.

It was a very happy time to feel a school festival of September, the power of everybody and the volunteer of the student council executives when I looked back on this semester. I had I could hold the memorial festival bazaar in an original form after an interval of four years, and more than 2600 people visit a school and had consideration and a feeling of thankfulness of put the voice of an impression, thanks from many people. It was foreign countries, domestic hope system in raw school excursion, this year for 4 or 5 years of October, but was able to realize the trip for conventional 5 days and 4 nights. I enlarged the field of vision on each trip and was able to deepen the bond with the friend. In last year, I postpone it right in front of a graduation ceremony and carried it out, but "the ceremony of transmission by the 5 or 6 years student performed on this month 19 of the light" is the important event that I continued without shutting it in a corona evil alone. It is a mysterious fantastic instant at all and, at the moment when the flame of the candle which I received from Maria namely "light of the love" "ray of hope" "light of the life" is inherited from a sixth grader to a fifth grader, is impressed every year. In Father Katayanagi who had praying this year "is a wonderful traditional event. This was the first time to have mentioned such an event, but was impressed by a very silent event. Saying is good; as for saying is it; said. And as the hallelujah chorus had been forced to cancellation for these four years, for me, deep emotion was much more, and the yesterday's Christmas society and homage were a time impressed by a performance beautiful at all among other things. For second semester, memorial service, Advent, excursions whom the event was carried out for, it will be that there were surely learning or a meeting, the event that felt an impressive event and activity to remain for the memory, growth of the self.

Until sixth graders, the university entrance exam common test, it was three weeks. It is finally the time of the last spurt. In an incantation of the other day Father Katayanagi of the Gospel (11:9) by Luke "demand it. Then, I am given. Look for it. Then, I am found. Come to study. Then, I was introduced opened o and instructed the importance of what I carried out with faith till the last without giving it up. Please continue making an effort till the last. And, with an opportunity of the learning such as special curricula of the voluntary school attendance day and third semester, even home learning uses the time with a feeling to value one second effectively, and, not to speak of physical condition management, please plan the last step-up.

13-day from everybody, tomorrow of all the students; become absent. Indoor orchestral music and all of korosuterura throw away the Fukuyama Station sun each, and they play it leisurely this afternoon in "Christmas concert" in Takagi. In addition, during this closure period, people who are going to participate in China district representative camp or a meeting commencing with a performance in the Maebara Hospital of everybody in guitar mandolin part are. I am glad by each achievement, but there is the person who is absent by influenza today. After self-regard, I spend closure significantly enough in the winter season and I pray, on 6th, to attend school with a cheerful figure and do it with an address in January.

※ After an expression, I had Bishop Shirahama, Father Frederick, Father Mikhail hear the hallelujah chorus that I played yesterday and had a voice that I was impressed by a chorus fantastic at all.
