ix A.M. in Kaleiopapa. The clock of the light switch rudely echoes down the hallway as the feeble lights struggle to ba- nish the darkness. Instantly the dorm is a beehive. Metal beds screech on concrete floors, doors are thrown wide open, and bare- chested young men tumble out of their cells, eager to stake a claim at one of the basins in the central latrine. In the air there's an excitement born of new toothbrushes, new razors, new pajamas, new cadet officers, new seniors, ju- niors, sophomores, and even new high-schoolers: the freshmen. It's a new day, the first of the school year, 1962-63. And for Kamehameha, it will be a break from tradition. For the first time, coed classes will com- mence, if only experimentaly, for the incoming freshmen class. Right: A mixed class of honors math students in a 1966 Konia classroom. From left to right: Ted Blake I '67 - Ted was a self-styled 007 back thenj, Wanda Enos f'66j, Wynne Morrison I'67j, and Ray Chun K'67j. Members of the class of '66, see Kawilca Ma- lcanani 's copy on these pages, were the Hrst Kame- hameha High School students to experience the joys of mixed classes. At the time of this photo- graph, all 9 through 12 classes were in their first year of co-education. After breakfast and work squad, I slip into my new khaki uniform: pants starched and sharply creased, long sleeved shirt top- ped with a black tie tucked in- to the shirt at the chest. I look in the mirror, and I see a guinea pig in RCTC uniform. I'm a freshman assigned to take part in the experiement. Feeling spiffy, I step out to Boys' Road and start to climb the hill, dodging the down flow of older cadets from 'Iolani and Kapuaiwa Dorms. Eh, Makanani, you lolo, you going the wrong way. In- timidated, I play deaf ear and adopt an interest in my shoes, each taking reluctant steps into history. Right and below: We aren 't sure of the dates of either of these pictures, but two thoughts come immediately to our minds: 12 Look at all those books! The 80's student prides himself in how little he can carry around. And 22 No one slouched! Our parents' horror stories of both feet on the floor and hands on the desk-top weren 't stories after all. -is-Mvww By: Ola Souza, Muriel Kuroda, and Glori Kimokeo
