We Are Eager Stanley Kawaguchi President Mis: Violet Chuck Adviler Jane Kaneshiro Secretary Beginninganew life at McKinley High School, 733 sophomores started this school year with enthusiasm. How different things were! It was like going from sixth grade to seventh grade, only on a much larger scale. There were many new students to meet from all the different schools and we found the teachers very helpful. It did not take us long to get settled and very shortly we were able to call ourselves real students of Mc- Kinley. SOPHS SHARE IN ACTIVITIES Assemblies were given to honor and welcome us. McKinley's first canteen, Getting To Know You, held in our own Lanai Limalau, was the welcoming dance for us. We participated in all of the school's functions just like the old timers. We contributed to the paper drive, joined the skating party, joined various clubs, helped in filling Red Cross boxes, and attended dances and had a lot of fun. In the October election, four very reliable students were chosen to head our class. We also learned a lot about government, for we were ab- sorbed into an already fine student government system here at McKinley. Special class assemblies were conducted by
