FATHER LOPEZ Father Lopez students are rejoicing at the prospect of summer fast approaching and cringing at the thought of final exams. Today on campus, Scott Klusendorf, president of the Life Training Institute, will be addressing students on the topic of abortion.

Graduation is at 11 a.m. May 19 at Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center, Daytona Beach. Over the past two years I have reported about Lopez purely on the objective level, but in closing, I would like to make a subjective statement. At Lopez, I have gleaned many things but the lesson that I learned over my four years is worry but don’t stress, trust others but depend upon yourself, work hard but don’t fear imperfection, and most importantly, get up every morning and warmly greet those around you.
