Uke friend" who died ーn
their youth, they riain as
theズwer®. when I thlnズof
them,ョy response is from
the p-ersでective of a17.year-
old. Memories evoke tvvinぬes
of envズand contempt for the
rah-rah crowd, feelinぬs of hu-
miliating inadequacy for the
ぬym class suでer jocks, and
an all-round feeーinぬof self-
conscious awkwardness for
the entire hjぬh scfiool years.
When the invitation to the
20th reunion arュved earlier in
the year,1f,ぬured I wouldn、t
ぬo. I had lost touch with all of
mズclassmates. They were as
irrelevant toョy current life
as my grammar schoolauto,

were sp-eciai then. I thouぬht

ぬrudぬes and deのでwounds.
Even though 20 years had
p-assed, I lDeぬan to realize
that events that haででen in
adolescence leave deeでim-
pressions.
The other day, 一 looked
throuぬh my hiぬh schoolズear-
lDOOk and was surでrised at
how dated the p>eop>le looked.
Dated andズounぬ,very yocnぬ.
jt、s always an eズe oでeコer
to revisitでlaces from your
でast, because nothing is ever
as larぬe as it seemed then.
Occasionally you see some-
thing that you cherished then
and st三dp Other times, you
realize that a crisis trier- was
really nothinぬafter all.
I decided I wanted toぬo to
the reunion のcause wantのd
to let my classmatesぬrow up.
I vvaコtのd to b>e in anひdult

I finally unewrthのd my in-

TORONTO——Once upsn a time, the Jaでanesのcommunity
in Canada was a cohesive, tiぬhtlズl^nit fa milズwhether it was CTズ
desiぬn or through necessity. Those days afforded theズouth
the oplでortunity to interact amoコぬtheirでeers without the fear
of prejudice from the "outside". Social CIUCTS,びaseb-alー teams
and t5ズscout trooでs flourished within the community.
A generation or two later, we find ourselves in Ca5ada、s
--Far East",living in a city that is reでuted to have the highest
dのnsitズofしaでanese Canadians, yet most children of those
who immiぬralted to Toronto find it strange,仁nusual and some-
times even uncomfortaCTーe to t>e amoコぬthose of the samの
ethnic CTackぬround. It is unfortunate that the community is
so widely scattered and integrated that we count so f边w
memtjers of our own heritaぬetomonぬour friendひ.
でride in commcnitズ,a search for self-esteem tond identity
are issues that all V5unぬでeoでle must resolve, with the CTjess-
