U U., Wlo Centet For years there had been a demand for the estab- lishment of a school of college level on the island of Hawaii. The Board of Regents and President Sinclair decided to do something about it and thus the Uni- erslty of Hawaii, Hilo Extension was born. Dr. Albert J. McKinney, Director of the University Extension Division was responsible for getting the college into operation. The school opened at Lyman Hall with Dr. R. Ray Scott as instructor-in-charge. After a successful year, it was decided to offer campus credit at Hilo and the name was changed to University of Hawaii, Hilo Center. Mr. John H. Splawn, Jr. succeeded Dr. R. Ray Scott as instructor-in-charge in September, 1948. He was assisted by both full-time and part-time instructors including Susan Hayashi, Rae Kai, Eiko Oshima, James W. Griffen, Yoshito Saigo, William Lavy, Paul Ralley, William Weber, Doro Takeda, Enoch Brown and Robert Shimoda. A few weeks following registration a representative Student Association began with Roy Yogi as Presi- dent. The school paper KA LEOIKI (the little voice) was published twice a month. Two basketball teams were formed this year, the Varsity and the Frosh teams. The girls also formed a girl s ' basketball team, the Colleens. The students formed their own ping pong, Softball, bowling, tennis, and swimming teams with the help of James Griffen, faculty athletic direc- tor. Miss Eiko Oshima organized a chorus, while Mrs. John Kai took charge of a radio group. As for social activities, the students at the Hilo Center have been busy despite the heavy scholastic schedules. These included a picnic held at Oneka- hakaha Beach, a dance to help raise money for the basketball teams, a trip up to Maunea Kea, an over- night trip to Kawaihae Beach and the April Frolic, dance late in April.
