Christensen, James Kauwe and Noah Koon, the Dance Committee has proven itself very successful this year. Consisting of forty hard working members they raised a gross profit of $2,000 for the student government by the year's end. Preparations for the ten dances throughout the year consisted of many different tasks. Printing and selling pre-sale coupons, contracting the bands, and acquiring security and chaperones are just a few of the many tasks involved in the preparation for a single dance. Through their hard work they have provided another fine social year at Damien. 17 Winter Ball provides long lasting memories Matthew Foo-Nancy Matsuoka Robert Mendonsa-Jani Muldar Good feelings were generated in the Kamehameha Ballroom at the Surfrider Hotel, on Monday, December 20, 1976, the setting for the second annual Damien Winter Ball. Over eighty couples arrived at the informal event, the first Sweethearts affair of the school year. Barry Jay and the Arrangements provided the sounds for the evening. Guided by the theme, Some- times in Winter, the Winter Ball Committee set out to mold the mellow mood for the night. The Christmas spirit added to the LEFT: Winter Ball Committee (L. TO R.): N.

The teams consisted of the various English classes on the junior and senior levels-the freshmen and sophomores did not have enough participants to establish teams. But despite the loss of the underclassmen, fierce competition was evident at all the games. But in the end, of course, there can only be one winner. Mr. Alejo's third period class was the junior champion and for the seniors, Br. O'Hare's fourth period class ended the program with a first place trophy.

Combine and mix thoroughly in the Pub- lications Room. Stir in a few nights of work in the darkroom. Garnish with a few cockroaches. Yield: an efficient, organized Photography Staff. 23 Putting it all together Punahou twice. RIGHT: Thanks to Bobby Heaukulani's block, Mike McGovern rambles upfield.

RIGHT: Ray Agustin's block frees Bobby Hcaukulani for yardage as Joe Hussey observes. Despite the not so super record the '76 Monarchs did have their moments, both offensively and defensively. Using a strong running game complimented by a timely passing attack, the offense had it's best games against rivals St. Louis and Punahou. Like the offense, the defense re- sponded to the call. Stunting out of a 4-4 set up, they kept opponents guessing. Averaging one hundred yards in penalties per game the Monarchs had trouble putting consistent games together. With twenty-eight returning lettermen, it wasn't supposed to be a rebuilding year, but if the last four minutes of the season are any indication, the Monarchs will have some promising years ahead. The 1976 Varsity Football Team came into the year with high hopes. Coming off the school's best record in '75 the team got off on the right foot by knocking off Kahuku and by giving Waianae, the 0.1. A. 's perennial powerhouse, a run for their money. The Monarch Machine opened the season in the same style but soon hit a large ditch. As the season grew older the team's preseason sixth ranking statewide was replaced by mental mistakes and costly penalties. St. Louis once—do not a season make ARSITY MONARCHS-ROW 1 (I. TO R. ): R.

Piecing together a 3-2 rec- ord, the freshmen gridders made their mark in the I. L. H., taking an impres- sive second place, just un- der Kam. Led by Pete Ma- chado, the coaching staff consisted of Brad Cook, David Snakenberg, and Rick Ortegero. Together the four of them put the freshmen through rigorous practices in the afternoon sun. Even from the very start they displayed to the other schools the potential that our Monarchs are building.

With leadership especially from the seniors, the varsity cross country team posted an impressive third place finish in the I. L. H. season, com- bining finishes in mostly first, second, and third positions, including some in which they had lost by only one or a few points. The harriers also scored a sixth place in the Punahou Invi- tational and a fourth place in the State Meet, which included teams from thirty-eight different schools. The I. L. H. race was very tight, because all of the teams had improved vastly. But daily practice runs of 8-10 miles upped our teams' hopes along with inspiration from captains Benny Ching and David DeRego who, individually, placed fifth in the state meet. Both gave their best all of the time as did Kelly McKcague and John May, a junior, who both gave stellar pcrfonnances throughout the season. 37 TOP LEFT: David Yap sprints past the opposition to the finish line.

Sporting an undefeated sea- son with a 4-0 record, the junior varsity cross-coun- try team defeated such powerhouses as Punahou and iolani. The team was led by Mike Tiwanak and Tommy Myers, who were dangerous threats in every meet. Varsity Soccer team posts Proving themselves one of the best teams in the 1. L. H., the varsity soccer team won the Fourth Annual Prep Academy Tourna- ment Championship which was held at Hawaii Prep Academy on the Big Island in December. With such returning lettermen as captains Ben Ching and Mike McGovern, the team put together a winning season. Due to the determination, spirit and pure hustle on the part of all players, the soccer team ex- hibited various new plays making it more difficult for opposing teams to score. Coached by the experienced Mr. Kelly, the team began playing a fast conservative game combined with a strong defense which was a key factor'in producing victories.

Coaching the team were David Snakenberg and assistant coaches Bill Roach, Wade Souza, and Rick Otergero, while Mario Noveloso, Mark Bauknight, and Mark Souza were the team captains. Because they were a young team composed of twenty-six sophomores and freshmen, of which only five had previous ex- perience, the team had to rely first on speed and endurance and later, on ball handling. Team spirit was extremely high and even if behind by several points, the team still played with fiery deter- mination. Although they did not have as many wins as they would have liked, the players were glad that they could share and par- ticipate in those special moments that only a team can have. 42 spirited season TOP LEFT: Clayton Young stretches to save a score under the watchful eye of Marty O'Brien.

Always improving upon itself, the varsity basketball team showed some fine talent in competing in this year's ILH com- petition. Boasting such returnees from last year's squad as David Heaukulani, Dominic Bareng, Kevin Castillo, Lawrence Akiona and Rodney Alvarado, the team provided some exciting action and displayed a never-say-die attitude on the court. The squad included three sophomores and four juniors from last year's freshmen and J. V. squads. Through a dismal 2-10 regular season record marred much of the glory the team should have enjoyed, the cagers exhibited the pride and spirit that men of Damien are famous for. Beginning this year's season, the team traveled to Maui where it participated in the St. Anthony's Tournament. Playing a fine series of games against St. Anthony's, McKinely and Parramatta High School, a team from Australia, Damien captured the consolation trophy. arsity cagers experience growing pains OPPOSITE PAGE-TOP RIGHT: David Danielson attempts the perfect shot-all alone under the basket.

Coach Bareng was faced with the problem of breaking in many players coming from two freshmen teams with quite diverse records. The team is led by Harold DeMello, the team's highest scorer and rebounder. He was assisted by such players as George Helenihi, Jerome Kim, Pat Kau and Kirk Masuda. The team used the man-to-man defense and a passing con- trol offense. Despite the team's major weakness, the J.V. performed brilliantly, winning several games and losing others to top ranked teams such as Punahou and St. Louis by only a very narrow point spread.

Made up of three seniors, one junior and two sophomores, the varsity golfers posted wins over teams like St. Louis, Mid-Pacific and Kamehameha. The future for the var- sity team seems hope- ful. With three returnees, along with several players coming from the junior varsity squad, the Damien golf team could be top contenders in the I. L. H. again next year.

Brother Popish, the coach, believes that this team was the best Damien has ever had. Consisting of two juniors, three sophomores and four freshmen, theJ.V. golfers established a new golf record, scoring impressive victories over St. Louis and Pac-5. These were the first matches that have been won in Damien history on the junior varsity level. Practices were held at Makalena, Pali and Ala Wai golf courses. Most of the players, however, practiced whenever they could, in the spirit of a true golfer. 55 Putting it all together Student Government provides a Although most students are involved with school projects, they sometimes fail to realize who is responsible for organizing them. The last people they would guess are their own fellow students. These ex- ceptional students are Damien's Student Government. They are exceptional in the fact that they sacrifice their own time in order to represent and voice the opinions of their fellow classmates. This year proved to be no exception in the quality of leadership possessed by the Student Government. From Reggie Dolfo and his executive associates, to each division officer and homeroom represen- tative, all possessed that something extra needed to be a leader. Meeting during and after school, the government dis- cussed issues and upcoming events. These men proved to be leaders in the best example. Tomorrow's leaders were here this year, proving themselves, if not only to others, but more importantly, to themselves. learning experience in leadership TOP LEFT: Executive Board (L.

Mr. Suesz, returning for his second year, directs this mass of musical geniuses along with the help of Br. Reeves, who holds the new position of Band Moderator. The 1976-77 student officers were Dean Arashiro, President; John Wong, First Officer; George Jacang, Second Officer; and Daniel San Miguel, Third Officer. Steve Van Sciver was librarian. Providing the music which is the backbone of Monarch spirit, the band could easily be spotted at many of the foot- ball and basketball games. In addition, Christmas and Spring concerts highlighted the year. At the Thirty-first Annual Hula Bowl Damien was represented by Ian Bourg, Jeff Chung, Keith Kaya, and Jay Masuda, all of whom were considered experienced enough to play in the Hula Bowl Band. Damien also participated in the Parade of Stage Bands, a state-wide musical competition. During the sec- ond semester it was felt that with the increased size of the band a dynamic new idea could be incorporated into the program. So, for the first time in the school's fifteen- year history, a marching band was begun here at Damien. It is a great step and a meaningful one because being able to keep in step and play harmoniously takes a terrific amount of self-discipline.

Pep Club keeps school spirit high We showed as much spirit as we could, to patch up the school's lack of spirit, stated Vernon Stacy, chair- man of the Pep Club. Stacy, along with co-chairman Randy iMatsunaga, who headed the committee of fifty-five members, boasted ninety-five percent attend- ance at games. Among the events sponsored by this club were the sale of basket- ball and football ribbons, which were designed by students who participated in last year’s ribbon design contest.

James Kauwe was the chairman of the club and serving under him as co-chairmen were Warren Balasbas and Noah Koon. The Com- mittee was made up mainly of seniors with the remainder made up of willing underclass- men. As usual, the Homecoming Dance was the biggest and probably the most profitable event the Dance Com- mittee sponsored this year. TOP LEFT: ROW 1 (L. TO R.): H. Pong, M. Tasaki, C. Young. ROW 2: D.

One of the tasks facing the club was the arduous work of planning the Homecoming Week. A few of the suc- cessful activities included a special field day, costume contests, and a pep rally. The coveted Spirit Trophy was awarded to the class of '79, making it the first time that sophomores have won it. The Sister-School Spirit Trophy went to St. Francis. The club added a new dimen- sion to this year's assem- blies by featuring all the teams in their seasons. TOP: FRONT ROW (L. TO R.): S. Aiu, J. Silva, G. Sitar. BACK ROW: C. Tavares, I. Bourg, A.

And if the first year can be any indication, there should be many more good ones ahead. Instructed by Mrs. Russell, a full-time teacher at Sacred Hearts Academy, the club performed for select groups such as the Mothers Club and for the varsity bowlers at their banquet. This year's Interschool Relations Com- mittee was the biggest ever, both in the number of members and in the number of schools involved in student exchanges. Fifty-five members strong, the committee visited or escorted visi- tors through Damien from twenty-five different Oahu schools. Set up as an exchange medium where schools and students can see and share ideas, the I.R.C. members found that even learning can be fun. 66 A girl in class is the I.R.C s doing OPPOSITE PAGE-TOP RIGHT: Brack Jaskey, Walter Koanui, Herb DeAguiar, Louis Kcaloha keep step with Carlton Young as they perform Kawika for the Mothers' Club.

The N.H.S. is all this and more, for they perform many other services for the school and community. Ushering plays at the U. H. and the Parent- Teacher Conferences, guiding visitors through the campus at the Open House, singing Christ- mas carols at Waimano Home, proctoring the entrance examinations and raising funds for the American Cancer Society represent the diversi- ty of activities of this group. People join the Math Club because they enjoy math and the thrill of academic competition with other schools, commented John Wong, chairman. Assisting Wong was Jeff Chung, co-chair- man. With strong performances by Wendell Ching and Thomas Hashimoto, combined with depth from the underclassmen, the team improved considerably. The members practice regularly enjoying direction from Mrs. Mary Bertrand. This year, the new and exciting event for the Math Club was a mini-meet held at Damien in December. TOP LEFT-ROW 1. (L.

Determined to produce an annual of the highest quality, the twenty-five member staff commenced their project in July, 1976. Working two to three hours daily and on Saturday mornings, the staff endeavored to reach the fifth and final KAMIANO deadline by February 28, thus enabling a spring delivery. For the sake of efficiency and quality, the staff members were divided into four working groups. Every detail in the yearbook was examined again and again to eliminate costly errors. An infinite se- lection of photos were carefully examined and the best were chosen. Special effects and color photos were inserted to enhance this unique annual. Every year the goal of the yearbook staff is to create an annual better than the last. In the fall of 1977, a sixteen page supplement covering the spring activities will arrive to augment the infor- mative quality of KAMIANO. Kamiano Staff: The men who got it done.

Keeping an up-to-date expression of Damien 1976-77 was a constant challenge facing the fourteen members of Brother Keane's News writing Class. After study- ing fundamental journalism theory and techniques during the first quarter, the Publications Room and Room 223 were transformed into a floating press room as student journalists scurried about frantically meeting the ever-present deadlines. The twelfth volume of KE ALII covered every aspect of academic life both on and off campus. It was not uncommon to find the staff remaining after school, finishing page designs and pasting up articles. It is not easy to please all, yet the writers sincerely attempted to cover all aspects of the news. Long hours of researching, interviewing, writing, rewriting, typing and headlining were found to be both gratifying and frustrating. This invalu- able experience of teamwork and shared responsibility was one learned many times over. Increasing numbers show interest in speech and debate teams The competitive Speech and Debate teams are the first solid teams to appear in recent years at Damien. Mrs. A. Kimura of the Speech Department coordinated all activities. The twelve Speech Team members were given a choice of topics that included competitive speeches, dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, story-telling, poetry reading, original oratory, impromptu speaking and dramatic speaking. During this year about eight speech festivals took place. To obtain a superior rating in a festival, the student must win two of the four judges in his favor. Tournaments, on the other hand are based on rating as well as ranking. This year's topic for the eight Debate Team members was penal reform. All participating schools debated the same issue at numerous festivals held throughout the year. Mrs. Kimura feels very optimistic about this years teams and hopes to expand both of them. Thirty-two aspiring artists participated in Br. O'Hare’s eight period art class. During the year the students learned the fundamentals of lettering, sketching and painting. Master- ing the silk screening process allowed them to design and print their favorite slogans on T-shirts. Field trips were also enjoyed by all as class members journeyed off campus to paint scenery. Creations were displayed throughout the year in room 324 and at the end of the year a special showing was pre- sented to the student body.

O'Hare looks for signs of originality. Poster and Chess Clubs Little is really known about one of our more inter- esting clubs, the Chess Club. The procedure of a regular chess meet goes like this. Each player brings his own chessboard and timeclock when he meets his opponent from another school. There are specific rules to follow, such as making thirty moves within an hour or else forfeiting the game. Schools throughout the league are put into flights according to strength. Consisting of four members each, there are four seats for eight players in a match, ranging from the first or best seat, to the last seat. Scores of meets could turn out to be 4-0, 3-1, or even 3-J—J, since draws count as a half point for both teams. At the end of this round-robin season, points are tallied up, and trophies are pre- sented to the teams with the most points in each flight. The Poster Club, headed by Harry Pong and Timothy Reagan, try to lift spirits of the school by creating posters which are used to advertise dances. These posters, drawn by Matt Mendoza and Raul Perez, show great originality and reflect the spirit of Damien. Br.

To further student in- terest in the German language, the German Club regrouped for a third year with new faces and activities. With co-presidents Michael Yap and James Phillips, the club aimed to make the Ger- man language something fun and enjoyable. Ad- vised by Mr. Thomson, the club gathered to con- verse and play games in German. In its first year, the Spanish Club's plan of action was to enhance the Spanish program by playing Spanish games and by attending parties with Maryknoll's Spanish Club. Advised by Dr. Roldan and Mrs. Honea with Edwin Walters as president, the club met once a month in separ- ate junior and senior groups. Language clubs aim for fun TOP LEFT: GERMAN CLUB-ROW 1 (L.

Both groups are trying constantly to improve home-school communications and the quality of campus facilities. Fun and fund raising were the means used to achieve tills end. Led by Mrs. Barbara Mclnerny, president, and an executive board of talented, hard-working women, the Mothers' Club sponsored a luau in the spring with proceeds being invested toward a complete landscaping program which will considerably enhance the campus environment. Headed by Dr. Tasaki, the Fathers' Club directed their efforts toward the construction of a long-awaited gym which is planned to be completed by January, 1978. The first step was taken on December 17, 1976, when bulldozers began the excavation for the parking lot and gymnasium. With invaluable support and coopera- tion of these parents, the quality of education at Damien was in- creased a hundredfold. ffsSs vnJA JV, Varsity cheersquads ignite Monarch spirit The junior varsity and varsity cheerleading squads pro- vided the Monarch spirit with talented routines and rous- ing cheers. Under the guidance of Mrs. Darlene Yama- shita, sixteen young ladies from three sister schools began their season in June with a candy sale and struc- tured practices. Proceeds from the sales were used to purchase stunning new uniforms and to accompany the varsity basketball team to the St. Anthony Tournament on Maui in December. During the football and basketball seasons, the cheerleaders practiced on Monday and Wednesday. TOP LEFT: Mike Downes resets the dunk booth target as Jolene Liu crawls out from the makeshift pool.

ALICIA FUCHIGAMI PRINCIPAL'S SECRETARY Behind every great school is a great staff and Damien is no exception, for we have the best in Hawaii. What they may lack in numbers they compensate for by their daily effi- cient operating of our school. Filing books and assessing library fines, Mrs. Braz, our librarian, has been serving Damien for twelve years. She commented that Damien is the best school in Hawaii. Typing detention and absentee lists, and aiding the Dean, NIjs. Chang has proficiently served Damien for half a decade. Damien is terrific, says Mrs. Chang, adding, I find working for Damien to be most rewarding and 1 shall cherish the great times that I shared with the young, intelligent men. Mrs. Fuchigami has been serving Damien and enjoying her job for five years. Her main responsibilities are carried out daily in the principal's office. Damien has really grown, commented Mrs. Chung, our registrar. She has been involved with Damien since it's doors opened in August, 1962. She is responsible for maintaining all the records and transcripts and muses, I only wish that I was twenty years younger so I would be able to see the sons of our graduates come to Damien. I see a great future ahead. There arc also cafeteria women and maintenance men who work diligently to insure the smooth daily operation of Damien. Under the guidance of Mrs. Quinata with assistance from Mrs. Undo, the cafeteria staff produces nutritious hot lunches each day. This year, Mrs. Maunupau, Mrs. Kuamoo, Mrs. Rente and Mrs. Higa are enjoying the surroundings of brand new, expanded cooking facilities. Mr. Kau, his son, William, Mr. Kim and Mr. Hammond are chiefly responsible for the general upkeep of the cam- pus grounds. These arc the faces behind the scenes. Without them, Damien could not function. 173 Cafeteria staff and Maintenance MRS. VIRGINIA KUAMOO MRS. MILESIA QUINATA MRS. GERALDINE LINDO t MRS. CAROLINE RENTE MRS. BERTHA MAUNUPAU MRS.
