Committees Are Integral Parts 0f Student Government SOLONS The future leaders in the making get a taste of study- ing the budget, ratifying laws and policies, listening to the committee and adjourning the meetings. As usual, the senior table this year seemed the most obnoxious in their actions, and the freshman table the most sub- dued. Leading the underclassmen on the floor was Sophomore President Bobby Davis and the upperclass- men were led by Student Body Vice President Mickey Karimoto. The 40 seats in the Senate are traditionally occupied by the student body president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, chief of police, chief justice, edi- tors of school publications, class officers, and four sen- ators from each class. The advisor was Miss Matsuda. EXECUTIVE Bo.qrRn X -4 I disagreev . . . I think that , . . Well, maybev . . . Butl', These phrases were not taken from social studies debates but from the meetings of the Executive Board, for this group of enthusiastic students, compos- ed of student body officers and the four class presidents undertook the task of drafting the Student Association Policies. In an attempt to start the ball rolling, mem- bers and Miss Matsuda, advisor, rose out of bed before the other Christmas vacationing students and journeyed up to Hamakuapoko in the early morning breeze which incidently helped to stimulate their minds for HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE Mildred Miyaskiro, Peter Leong and Chairman Mixao Hamamoto the task ahead. In addition to this, members juggled the annual budget and handled various constitutional changes. STUDENT COURT This year for the first time the Maui High School Student Court had a prosecutor. This position was created by the request of their advisor, Mr. Masatsugu, and was held by Mickey Karimoto. Impartial Chief Justice was Kathleen Ikeda and her associates were Joseph Domingo and Fukuichi Kusakabe. Edward Sa- kaida was clerk and Flora Pojas, stenographer. SB COMMITEES Appointed by student body prexy, Nobuo Miyahira, with the approval of the Senate, the student body com- mittees were formed with freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors as members. The Point Award Committee was supervised by Allan Matsunaga with Mrs. Mounce as advisor. This committee semesterly records the students, school ser- vice and leadership points and they also make out the eligibility list for the honorary clubs. The Program Committee is a new committee formed this year for the purpose of planning student body assemblies on special occasions. The Thanksgiving pro- gram, one of its accomplishments, was a radio play planned by Beverly Silva and her assistants.

SCHOOL SPIRIT COMMITTEE Stanley Ooshi, Mrs. Crane, Veronica Tavares, Chairman Sally Murphy, Patricia Cabral, and Bobby Davis. Honor Roll Committee members are considered fortunate by others because they get to see the grades sent in by the teachers, but luckily, they see so many of them that they usually donit know which grade belongs to whom. The honor roll list was made by Misao Hamamoto and her members who figured the grade point average of each student. An evidence of their work is the honor roll list hung in the main corridor. The School Spirit Committee flashed through a successful year with peppy Sally Murphy as chairman. The pep assem- blies, the Night Rally and the election of new song and cheer leaders were planned by this group. This committee also initiated the school spirit council, consisting of four high schools, which has as its purpose the promotion of good sportsmanship among sports fans by voluntarily eliminating songs and yells which were unsportsmanlike in nature. The Constitutional Revision Committee was formed this year with the project of revising the constitution. This com- mittee was headed by Kathleen Ikeda. The Decoration Committee members displayed their artis- tic talent at the Fair and at the Inaugural Ball. The Maui high school booth placed second in the annual contest for the prettiest booth at the Fair. Working closely with the social committee, Susan Moon and her assistants helped to make the Inaugural Ball a memorable one with their decorations. The Social Committee had the delightful duty of planning all student body dances. These socials required hard work from Edward Sakaida and his members. The Welcome Dance and the Inaugural Ball, both student body dances, were the responsibilities of this committee.
