C922 5.427 izcefx ty The number 60 reminds us of many things and brings to mind the important role it plays in our lives. Among others, we remember that this year is 1960. The 60th year in the Twentieth Century isa significant year for it marks the end of a decade and the beginning of another. The 1950's are now history and memories, the 1960's are yet to be, uncertain, yet chal- lenglng. To sophomores, junio r s, and seniors, 1960 has held a sp e cial meaning. Sophs have experienced their first bewildering yearg s e n i o r s, their last important year before facing the adult worldg and juniors, a year that was without the youth of the sophomores nor the pressing future need that the seniors faced. Fo r d e c ad e s, hundreds of Americans believing in the value of the islands and in thepeople of Hawaii, have fought for a place in the Union. The fight was finally won in 1959 and the people of the new-born state will celebrate, in 1960, its first birthday. We are closing our books on the long, te- dious struggle for statehood and our life as a territory of the United States. Now, as leaders inthe next few years, we face 1960 and the years to come with our lives in our hands, eager and anticipating the future. This, then, is the first facet of 60. Throughout the yearbook on the section pa- ges, the other facets of 60 will be presented. We hope that you will find pleasure in the ideas that are emphasized, and that you will enjoy the 1960 Black and Gold. THE NEW SOPHOMORE CORE BUILDING opened this year, accommodates five hundred eager, underclas men. This modernistic, concrete building, comprising l4 ro0ms,is a striking addition to McKinley's campu
