Q'-l7Ir:1g.'1 3 Football 9 Field goals. open-running. intercepted passes The faithful Leilehua Mules, under the coaching of Bill Smithe and his associates, never failed to give the spectators plenty of excitement. Although the Mules finished the football season with a dismal record of 10 straight losses and failed to equal the attendance record attracted by last year's eleven, the team and the students succeeded in achieving a higher degree in loyalty and in spirit. We quote Waipahu High School's Paper, The Cane Tassel- Leilehua may not be the champion this year, but the encouraging cheers they yell out to their team are all from a champion heart. However, the future seems very bright as next year's team should be much better and more experienced which should give Leilehua a chance to be one of the leading contenders for the coveted Rural Interscholastic League Championship.

M. L. Chappell as P. Virgeniza G. Masuda 'More fight and on fhe Kini Papo M. Barnard A. Johnston Hit 'em Again-HARDER!! Auwe Kahuku! Rough time during football season only gave the girls more pep, and when our basketball team won a few, their good humor mounted. Q Our basketball victories were due for the most part to fine coaching and good material but who knows? Perhaps our cheerleaders' jazzy Bermuda shorts gave them that extra spirit responsible for victories! Many thanks for their unflagging enthusiasm and never- say-die attitude-next year's squad has a hard record to beat. M. Lee G. Hirano P. Nugent

In the first quarter Kailua scored their first TD. on a 93-yard march. But Lei- lehua came back to score in the second quarter on a 20-yard march sparked by a' touchdown pass from Francis Noguchi to Herbert Dela Cruz, The first half ended in a thrilling 7-7 deadlock. But in the second half it was a different game. Kailua's line and back- field were too much for the outfoxed Leilehua Mules. The Surfriders from Kailua scored three T.D.'s in the third quarter and two T.D.'s in the fourth quarter to wrap up the ball game. Outstanding for Leilehua were Phil Miyashiro, Contrado Ascierto and Thomas Nomura. Kahuku Downs Leilehua 22-fi The Leilehua Mules lost to a powerful Kahuku eleven 22-6 which left Leilehua spectators wet and dismayed. The Kahuku Red Raiders added a touch- down in each of the first, second and third periods and capped the evening with a safety in the final quarter when Dexter Choy was tackled in the end zone. Leilehua tallied its lone T.D. in the fourth stanza when Francis Noguchi topped an 88-yard march with a spectacular pass to Phil Miyashiro in the Kahuku end zone. Outstanding for Leilehua were Larry DeRego and Francis Noguchi.
