mmm m m m m tifiJbioduudtUm September, 1897, marked the beginning of Kahuku High and Elementary School with on enrollment of 19 students ten girls and nine boys, on five acres of land purchased for one dollar from a man who saw the need for an English-speaking school in the area. The one-room building was then located where now stands Kahuku Super Market. In 1914, the school was relocated across the street to its present site. It has gradually grown from a two-room building to a thirty-two classroom school, where 1,069 students now study and play on twenty-three acres of land. One wonders what the reaction would be if Mrs. Pauline Hookano, Kahuku ' s first principal, could see the changes sixty-eight years have brought to the school, the community, and the surrounding areas. Her nineteen plantation students have been replaced by Hawaiians, Caucasians, Ta- hitians, Maoris, Fijians, Filipinos, Japanese, Australians, and Samoans. Each morning, from Kualoa to Waimea Bay, these students come on every conceivable means of modern transportation. What a far cry the little engine-pulled cane cars are from the automobiles and buses that the students ride to and from school today! Mrs. Hookano would marvel at the improved roads indeed. The only things she would find unchanged today are beautiful Waimea Bay, the majes- tic mountains of Punaluu, the sun setting at Shark ' s Bay, and the lush green Kahana . . . These are as beautiful and familiar as they were when the roads we now pass on were only lanes of crushed coral. Yet have we become so accus- tomed to them that we are oblivious? Here is an invitation extended to you by the Class of ' 65 to recapture the charms and enchantments of these vistas through pictures we have included within this Year Book. Come!

M,ppi!ipi|i ipj5ii5|fi g TMfm Mr. Harold David Naud DeAcofeon It is with a sense of honor and re- spect that we dedicate the 1965 KE KOOLAU to Mr. Harold David Naud, the Senior Class adviser. For five eventful years he has unselfishly giv- en his time, services and unfailing cooperation to our school and com- munity. Born in Springdale, Arkansas, Mr. Naud later lived in San Diego, where he received a B.A. degree in geog- raphy from San Diego State College before coming to Hawaii in 1959. After a year on the faculty of Laie Elementary School, Mr. Naud became the American Problems teacher at Kahuku where he has also served as Baseball and JV Football coach. Ac- tive in our community, he is a rnember of the Kahuku Golf Club, vice-presi- dent of the Koolauloa Lions Club, and chairman of the Lions Club Scholar- ship Committee. We con never express our gratitude for the help that he and other teachers like him, have given us in laying the foundation for a higher education, a greater appreciation for sports, and a more confident step into the future.
