Masques, Mail And Memorials Under Ronald Beers, the Program Com- mittee which included Richard Chalmers, Wilma Ednie and Anita Ramona Carter, made a plan for a series of programs that kept Hilo High students entertained the whole year round. f'The First Dress Suitf' given in coopera- tion with the Student Playhouse, started the merry-go-round of amusements. Chronologi- cally they were: October: Squaring lt With the Boss, The Ghost Storyg November: 4-5 minute radio skits, Father Talks Turkey: De- cember: The Birds, Fliristmas Carol: Janu- ary: The Migration of Races to Hawaiig Feb- ruary: Spelling Contest, And the Lamp Went Uut, Come Rain or Shine. At Christmas, over 40,000 postcards were handled at Hilo High School alonel That's the splendid record of the Postal Committee. Headed by Goro Endo, the committee sold over 45,000 student association seals at a penny apiece which meant that some S400 was added to the student accident fund. Three weeks before Christmas, gay umail boxes appeared on the campus in three of the buildings for student mailing. Each day, members of the committee made the rounds and emptied the contents in their post office in the basement of the auditorium building. Does Hilo High have unsung heroes? Yes, dehnitelyg especially in the Vllai' Service Corn- mittee. Equipped with information blanks, Wah Sung Chun and his associates recorded a thousand names of former Hilo High stu- dents serving in the armed forces. They can- vassed the school and town to fill information blanks and cut out newspaper clippings for their scrapbook. But their work was by no means through. Besides this work, the committee also ob- tained a service tlag for the school and pre- sented gifts to boys inducted while in school.
