mr, t ,i f,. 1qv- - --V-no +V- f In various functions we contributed the services of Consolacion Dela Cruz and Gladys Smith, songleadersg and Benjamin Baldonado, cheerleader. Then before we had realized it, we became Jolly juniors. It is undoubtedly true that the most memorable event that year was our Junior Prom. We can still picture ourselves, many of us in our first formal, dancing under the lights of the Bernice Hundley Gym. Yes, we had fun as juniors, but we are also proud to recall names like Barbara Tsunehiro, Robert Ueoka, Jean Yoshida, Arthur Fujita, and Hideo Koigawachi who stood out academically. There was Jeanne Nakamura, our oratorical representative who did an excellent job in the JCC oratorical contest. Our thoughts, too, will still be able to focus on stars like Gilbert Tanaka, Henry Hashimoto, James Valdez, Arthur Fujita, Ernest Lovell and many other athletes like these who gave up their time to bring honor and victory to our school. What we considered our most enjoyable year came to an end much sooner than we would have preferred it. We remember how proud we' were when we became seniors and were considered the mighties g and we did everything to live up to our standards. The first few months of school passed slowly, but as each day advanced, it made us realize that soon we would be leaving. During the year we did our share as seniors in setting examples for those below us to follow. We had many diliiculties which presented the enjoyment of some things. However, with the cooperation of the class and under the able leadership of President Barbara Tsunehiro, these barriers that con- fronted us were over-come. Brightening our year after long hours of studying was first of all, our banquet. How it makes us happy to think of that night enjoying a hearty meal, all the seniors chatting together. Then followed our picnic, out social, our prom and then the final step, graduation. Yes, graduation. As each name was read we recognized as our well-known seniors Barbara Tsunehiro, class president, Arthur Fujita, student-body president, john Kaauwai, co-captain of the foot- ball teamg Gladys Smith and Catherine Ornellas, songleadersg and Robert Ueoka, Chief justice of the school court. Then last of all, words of We are born not for ourselves but to do good for others echoed in our minds. That motto which led our class to' success will continue to guide us onward in serving our community as men and women. Prexy Tsunehiro reads report to class. .

Yes, that is our motto, the motto of the class of 1951. After four years of strenuous work we have finally reached, the saddest moment for which we eagerly awaited 4-graduation. Yet, clearly in our minds are recollections of those days gone by, and it is with both pride and sadness that we carry these memorable moments with us. . It seems only like yesterday that we entered our fresh- men year eagerly awaiting to go forth to serve our school and to adjust ourselves with our new surroundings. As freshmen, with Jeanne Nakamura, president, Harold Kojima, vice-president, Barbara Tsunehiro, secretary, and Elaine Urabe, treasurer, our Thanksgiving social was held in the auditorium. Amidst noise and gaiety this galaalfair brought out many hidden talents. Along with our excel- lent record in the scholastic field, the freshmen were not left our of other activities, for lovelies like Edith Takeshiro and Agnes Cummings reigned as attendants during the May Day coronation. As all good things come to an end, our freshmen year ended in june, 1948. We were now to become sophomores so we solemnly vowed to study more diligently and become better students. This vow was not in vain, for, as sophomores, we tackled many new and unfamiliar things like biology, geometry, and typing, but we worked and worked hard for perfection. Living up to our distinction as suffering sophs, we still found time to become active socially. Our class social was held, and with the cooperation of all, it proved to be a successful affair. ls
