GLEE CLUB Kwdaa 404194, , Adlah Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-doY These notes with their accompanying flats and sharps, were constantly heard at the beginning ofthe school year from the quonset hut which housed the chorus class. Gradually these notes were put into songs. From these elementary beginnings, the chorus class was molded into a tulltledged Kauai High School glee club which partici- pated in assemblies like the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. The man most res- ponsible for this remarkable transformation was instructor, Mr, Albert Rapozo, assisted x by Nancy Fujii, pianist. A varied repertoire of songs like Kentucky Babe, Little Boy Blue, Sing Along, Praise God the Lord, and April Showers was learned during the year, Row l, left to right: T. lzawa, M. Yamaguchi, F.

BAND z.Mza,ig.Wfz1,41,,.my- Mzzwawzmw That a conglomeration of advanced and be- ginning students, mostly without instruments and prior training was harmonized into a smooth Kauai High School band attests to the ability of Mr, Albert Rapozo, our new band instructor, and the hard work of the small, but enthusiastic group of aspiring musicians. After a few weeks of constant practicing, the students surprised the student body by making an auspicious debut at the first pep rally. Thanks to the band, student participa- tion at pep rallies and football games was increased tenfold. Although handicapped by lack of funds, the band made itself a major fixture in school. Meet the professionals, trumpet artist Henry Rente, trombone specialist Charles Hirata and saxophone soloist Julian Villapania, who sparked the band's spirited performances. Ro-w I, left to right: Y.
