Government was to choose the finest candidates. Of this we were hope- fulwhen the results of the election were announced, and of this we were assured now that the year has come to a close. Our very able and keen-minded president, Kenneth Yoda, besides conducting meetingsand representing McKin- ,ley at various activities, served as an inspiration to the rest of the student body. His presence at many McKinley proj- ects and gatherings increased his popularity and served as an example to us all. Supervising the various standing committees and assist- ing our president whenever necessary, Lillian Lee as vice- president,accomplished muchthat added to the success of the year. And, ofcourse, we can neither forget nor overlook the splendid performance of an often unseen actress on the stage of our school government. She is Mrs. Mary Suther- land, friend and advisor, under whose guidance the entire staff performed a job well done. OTHER OFFICERS EQUALLY EFFICIENT Well-trained and accustomed to her duties as secretary, Lillian Koga displayed a degree of efficiency and prompt- ness hard to surpass. Very accurate and neat minutes and records were kept and her deadlines were constantly met. Her assistant secretary, Shinobu Okami, was a very neces- sary addition to the executive staff. Tooru Hara, an old-timer at the job of handling money, served as the treasurer and in applying his mathematical skill, helped us to enjoy a very prosperous year. In his job as assistant treasurer, Hiram Hironaka proved to be worth his weight in gold. Our four officers, their assistants, and advisor all con- tributed their time and energy to being an' effective and alert executive committee. To them we looked for and re- ceived the right kind of leadership necessary in any fine school government.

The attractive campus that manya Honoluluan has complimented was kept in top condition through the combined efforts of Jessie Taku- shi and Richard Kato, co-chairmen of the Campus Improvement and Beautification Committee. McKinley students would not be properly indentified were it not for the conscientious work of Ruth Komuro and George Tanaka, who iistributed our indentification cards. Providing McKin1eyites with inspiring and educational films zhroughout the year was the task of Beverly Nakama, Movie chairman PARTICIPATES IN COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Mary Chang and Gladys Hoo were our representatives to the Oahu Youth Council, which has done much for the benefit of youth. The success of our Lima Kokua Drive and other worthwhile cam- paigns in which we actively participated was due to the work of Mar- garet Tao, Community and World Relations chairman. The public's main link to the goings on as M,H.S.was made pos- sible throughworks of June Doi and Janet Inoue, Publicity chairmen. Representing McKinley at the Inter-School Council were Judith Asato and Warren Ishii, who strove to promote a closer feeling among :he various high schools. Our Alma Mater extended her helping hand to many this year. Spurring us to do this were Red Cross chairmen Sylvia Amioka and John Shinkawa, who proved that all you send into the lives of others :omes back into your own. Jean.
