Each lunior homeroom was asked to have two speakers prepare an as- signed phase of the topic. A Talent assembly was scheduled for April. The Social Committee was responsi- ble for this enjoyable program which pro- vided entertainment for the Whole school and brought forth lunior dramatic as Well as many other heretofore unknown talents. Not having as many large semester socials Tempting dishes are prepared by future homemakers in their own kitchenette. as We ordinarily would have had during nor- mal times, We concentrated on making the lunior-Senior Prom held at the Nuuanu Y. M. C. A. Auditorium on May 28, the one out- standing social event of the year, The diligent and conscientious service of every class member made each sacrifice a pleasure, and the class as a Whole Was a force which made every activity a success. We are confident, at the close of this lunior year, that We have done our part to further the War effort. N Cafeteria girls sell sandwiches and ice cream during recess to hungry students.

SOPHOMORE DQINGS Our first class activity led us to team up With the Iunior Class and play San- ta Claus to the Tripler General Hospital Patients. Together We voluntarily and generously gave Christmas gifts and radios. In supporting the school labor pro- gram, students over sixteen years found jobs to lessen the problem of labor shortage. Others supported the War effort indirectly by taking over duties at home thereby releasing their moth- ers for war Work. Even those under sixteen Worked in vegetable gardens to lessen the shortage of food. By buying War bonds and stamps regularly, the Sophomores did their part in financing the War. Each home- room had its own War bond and stamp chairman who carried out his job suc- cessfully and efficiently. The Welfare Drive and the Bed Cross and other organizations received splen- did donations from the class. Many Sophomore students joined the Farrington High School Victory Corps. ln the future, the Sophomores have aimed to live up to their motto, We Build the Ladder By Which We Rise. 50 MITSUYUKI KIDO Adviser
