tf A-: ¥ p i.huiii w., Hawaiian Missionary Academy MohoIuIu, Z. M ' 7i m ll FOREWORD The road to success is not to be run upon by seven- league boots. Step by step, little by little, bit by bit, we have won the battles of academy life. Like Julius Caesar of old, we can report: Veni, we came; Vidi, we saw; Vici, we conquered! Herein is the record of our victory, from the first be- wildering days of freshmen activity to the final, thrilling adventure of senior graduation. We have followed the Master General, serving Him with our hands, our minds, and our hearts. The smile of Cod has made each day vic- torious. That these days may never be lost to our memory in the years to come, we present your 1953 KA LAMAKU We Dedicate We the students of H. M. A. proudly honor a person who as a TEACHER — accomplished the true purpose of Christian education — not only in theory, but also in practice ... as a CHRISTIAN — practiced what he preached and lived an exemplary life ... as a SOCIAL LEADER — displayed a captivating sense of humor, a sympathetic understanding of youth needs, an ability to arouse enthusiastic group par- ticipation, and a constant influence for good sportsmanship . . . and as a FRIEND AND COUNSELOR — was constantly sought after for his sound advice. To PRINCIPAL JOHN F. KNIPSCHILD — understanding and thoughtful teacher — lov- ing and lovable Christian — untiring and in- spiring leader — true friend and wise coun- selor — with all affection and sincerity, we dedicate this 1953 Ka Lamaku.

T Ik mmm ) r Came to KM- A i AS r H tt Henry Ward Beecher, dynamic preacher of yesteryear, once said: The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going in that way, too. As cur- rent history unfolds in great mental, spiritual, and moral question marks, as it becomes increasingly apparent that the one thing youth and age can really be sure of is an insecure security, and as it appears more and more evident that the textbooks with the answers today are outmoded tomorrow, I ' m thankful that the foundation text of Hawaiian Mission Academy — the Bible — has not been, is not now, and never will be out of date. Through this avenue, youth can tap the boundless resources of the Author of all knowl- edge, and by so doing can answer the $64 questions and problems of every phase of daily living. This is the only secure foundation of real education. This is why character build- ing is our business — not incidental, but primary. Deepest of thanks, students, parents, friends, for your confidence in HMA ' S program. Most cordially yours, Knipschild, principal THE ACADEMY BOARD: First row — M. Millner. |. F. Knipschild. C. E.

This well-regulated, smooth-running organization has much to do with our life at H.M.A. Regular meetings, well-planned and well-attended socials, and thoughtful little extras per- formed for visitors, sick members, and others are just a few of the many things that keep ASHMA a first in our school life.

Life at H M. A. includes much more than study- ing and attending classes. Physical labor, class activi- ties, socials, and just plain relaxation will ever stand out as clearly in our memories as will cramming for tests and slaving over term papers. All of these as- pects of H. M. A. are reminders of a full and satisfy- ing school year. For the seniors, class presentation will ever remain the symbol of a wonderful school year with an ex- tremely co-operative class. Yes, life at H. M. A. is lots of work and lots of fun, and memories like these will help to keep H. M. A. alive to us — always. ' King Mopper in his frequently disturbed domain. Did you come all the way from there?

Would you have liked to wander hand in hand with a well-loved friend through the grandeur that was Egypt and the glory that was Rome? Would you have cared to catch the beauty in the Australian Alps at dawn, or to watch the changing colors on the columns of a long-forgotten city in old Persia? Would you have enjoyed traveling through the exquisite little city built by the late Eva Peron for the little people of Argentina? Would a trip through the never-never land of the antipodes, where a mighty glacier grinds its slow way down to a restless sea, have pleased you ? With but little expense to you, all of this and much more you might have enjoyed had you at- tended the excellent lyceum series presided over by our gracious and wise host — Mr. Elmer Herr. Preceding each travelogue, the atmosphere of the chapel changed from Japan, to far-off China, to the Philippines, to Portugal, and, of course, to Hawaii, Under the sponsorship of the ASHMA Lyceum Com- mittee, each racial group represented at the school took its turn in conducting its own program of en- chanting songs, music, dances, and social customs, typical of the original homeland. Thus, from month to month, was re-created separate segments of that famous Aloha spirit, outstanding blend of the world ' s melting pot and distinctive to Hawaii, paradise of the Pacific.

An understanding and ever-cheerful group, they will never be forgotten or erased from the memories and hearts of their pupils. They stand as excellent examples to the students in the social, intellectual, and spiritual phases of life. Patience, piety, understanding, courtesy — all rolled into one — truly describes each mem- ber of the faculty. To these honored few, we, the students, express our heart-felt appreciation.
