zz, s. AM As a basketball coach he was and is unsurpassed . . . carrying the Viks through thirteen BIIF victories and ten Territorial championships, Beans made history with an amazing .928 winning percentage -192 victories against only fifteen losses-creating an interscholastic basketball dynasty. Farewell . . . one of basketball's eminent figures. As an educator he is truly outstanding . . . Re- tiring after forty years of dedicated service, he leaves behind a blazing trail of educational accomplish- ments. Commencing his career at Hilo High in 1935 as one of our P.E. instructors, he unexpectedly switched from the noisy ruckus of the gym to the quiet solitude of his one-room office to counsel stu- dents in 1950. As both a teacher and counselor, students discovered a true and understanding friend. Farewell . . . Vik's own mentor. As an individual he is remarkable and well- rounded . . . Enjoying outdoor sports, he can often be found at the Hilo Municipal Golf Course teeing off for a good game of golf. Given an ukulele he can serenade you for hours. Admired and respected he is cm outstanding member of his community and an ambitious worker who has proven that one can be successful in whatever he undertakes. Always to be remembered . . . Ung Soy Afook, the man who made history!
