How can it be, for instance, that so many actually killed each other for this hill where our school stands today? We ' ve been told about it by our history teachers, our parents, survivors, but it se ems to distant, too awful to believe. Here we are, loving and learning together in a place where men once bombed and burned each other. Surely, Lord, it must be a sign of Your Power - a Power far greater than bombs - that Okinawa Christian School stands today on a former battlefield. Hacksaw Ridge, an ugly name for a once ugly place. Children at play still find rusted, thirty-year- old cartridges that may have pierced a man ' s heart. Lord, we are thankful that You are able to pierce our hearts with your love and bring us together in your Spirit . . . Courtesy of U . S . Army Today, those who come to Hacksaw Ridge are bombarded not with deadly shells blasted from American and Japanese-made guns, but with lots of grinning faces, some with dark Oriental eyes and hair, some with pale Occidental complexions, and some with both. The names that go with the faces are just as varied: Hitoshi, Susie, Hyun Hee, Hajime, Henry, King Huen. Our parents and our grandparents remember a time when they were taught to hate each other; today we share our books, lockers, pens - in fact, our lives. Lord, thank you for loving us all and helping us to be one in You. We dedicate this yearbook, our CITADEL, to You, Lord. In doing so, we ask that you arm us not with the implements of war and hatred, but with the power of Your love. i psnF In Appreciation We, the CITADEL staff, on behalf of the OCS student body, wish to express our thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Pound for always caring and listening and helping and understanding. Our memories of them will extend far beyond our days at OCS.

We didn ' t like to admit it but in a way we looked up to the seniors. And now we ' re seniors ourselves, and we realize that we haven ' t really arrived at all - we ' ve hardly begun. All of life is ahead of us. It ' s exciting, and a little scary. And no matter what we ' ve said before - we ' ll miss OCS.

All in all, lots of us will chalk up this year as one of the best.

What a neat thing just to sit in chapel together, sing together, study together, try to work our each other ' s problems, even be frustrated together.

You get to choose your own subjects and make your own decisions. Even the horrible initiation makes you feel part of the group. The only time you really regret being a Freshman is during the initiation. As a Freshman class we participated in a lot of class activities. Thanks to Mrs. Morris, our advisor, we had a successful Christmas party. No one but great Mrs. Morris wanted to be our class advisor. I wonder why? ! . . .

We made a good showing in the Walkathon, spent a nervous Christmas Banquet evening with our dates, and mastered A Song in the Air, which may very likely become our class carol. In Mr. J ' s English class a rewarding project was writing self- portraits. In Bible we studied the Gospel of John and appreciated more fully the gift of God, His only Son.

Our new status allowed us full use of the high school library and science lab. And finally we could wear the uniforms of the ' ' big kids . ' ' Among the things we enjoyed most were participation in the Student Council and the Walkathon. We also had good times with class sing- alongs. The ' 75- ' 76 school year was a pleasantly surprising one for us.

Our teacher told us, we must have success here in order to have success in future years. Our Bible study subject, The Life of Christ gave us a practical pattern for our lives. All was not study, though. Highlights of the year were field trips to Expo ' 75 and Foremost Dairies. FIFTH GRADERS MAKE CLASS MAGAZINES Susan Ivey Terressa Jafari Richard Kawamura Akemi Kinjo Mark Lacanilao Kako Lee Susan Claxton Joanna Flach Cathy Flynn Patrick Flynn Michael Hintz S i8 A XZ J££ k muJ Learning to exp ress our thoughts in complete sentences - both orally and in writing - has been a goal for us this year. We also visited Fort Buckner Museum and wrote reports on Okinawan history for social studies. Later in the year we divided into groups of three and made class magazines. In Bible, our favorite class, we studied the life of Elijah, a man who loved God with all his heart and had courage to stand against the evil of his day. Christ becomes more real to us as we learn about being disciples and showing Christian love in our lives.

V 4 h One of the courses studied by the fourth grade this year was Living in the Land of Jesus. This study has given the fourth graders a greater respect for God ' s Word and the men God used to write it. When asked why he thought OCS was called a Christian school , Curt Viola answered, because we love God. In answer to the question why are people happy at OCS, Tommie Ledbetter answered, because we learn about Jesus.

Their studies ranged from memorizing the multiplication tables and reading about the Life of Christ to discovering some of the mysteries of space and learning about the molecule. Even though they were studying these fascinating and sometimes difficult subjects, the peppy third graders consider good, old-fashioned P.E. their favorite class. SEOND GRADER8 ENJOY ART CLASS Johnny Carrillo Ronald Couey Debbie Hageman Clifford Kino Meng Yeng Kwan Lisa Patterson Shwu-Jin Peng Richard Seaman Aya Toyama Kei Wall This year we enjoyed something new - going to Mrs. Johnson ' s art class, along with the fir st graders. One day we made pictures with yarn! Another time we drew pictures outside. In Bible we learned about some Old Testament people - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. In the Christmas program we enjoyed singing about the Friendly Beasts. Karen Allen, a senior, helped us a lot with our reading in the afternoon. It was a good year for having fun and learning. FIRST GRADERS HEAR BIBLE STORIES Linda Aragaki Alfred Carrillo Rodney Couey Joann Flynn Ronald Greninger Jason Jerome Sally Lewis Tamara Morris Andrew Seidenberg Akari Yamakawa One day Lisa Stetler, our helper, made up a play about a butterfly for us to put on. That was a lot of fun. Also, we had Bible stories about Adam and Eve and Noah ' s Ark. Sometimes Mrs. Hageman read stories to us. We went to the zoo and saw alligators, crocodiles, snakes, bats, deer, rabbits, monkeys, a lion, a camel, horses, bears, elephants, an ostrich, a cow, and a zebra. Whew! It must have been crowded on the ark. KINDERGARTENERS GRAPPLE WITH BASICS Eric Lee Chitwood Noelle Flach Richard Johnson Caroline Kino Toshihiko Kuwano Shonobu Miyagi Saori Nagamine Tamiko Oshiro Linda Spargur Hayato Toyama The kindergarten class this year was made up of six Japanese speaking children and four English speaking children. Language differences, however, proved no barrier to their sharing and learning, as together they grappled with basic primary readiness skills.

For one thing, they were the first in OCS history to have a male elementary E. teacher. Also, this year, for the first time, they participated with the rest of the elementary students in their chapel services and Christmas program. As one of their special projects, the whole class grew bellpeppers, and everyone except Mr. Morris was successful ! - - fe - ' § w ft ■ tt ' : r $ w i. 1 FACULTY 9TAFF ADMINISTRATION ' 1 { 1 $04 ' ' ' '  ■ • • A. - Teaching is . . . MR. CAPPER Teaching is so much more than content. What a thrill to hear one of my students say, T think because of you I believe skoshi bit of Christianity ' . - BASIC ENGLISH MRS. HAGEMAN The fun of teaching comes in helping a person - five years old or fifteen - understand an idea or grasp a principle. - BIBLE. BASIC ENGLISH MR. HINTZ I have found teaching an awarding experience. Though sometimes frustrating , it has always been a stimulus to mutual improvement, both academically and spiritually. - HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE MRS. HINTZ True Christian education will have as its goal Bible-oriented teaching . . . academic excellence will then naturally follow. - FIFTH GRADE MRS. HORN BECK The actual visible progress of each student entrusted to me is deeply rewarding. I would like to think I have given the guidance that has contributed to this . ' ' - SIXTH GRADE MISS ISHIDA Being in God ' s will makes every experience at OCS satisfying - even the occasional unpleasant ones. - KINDERGARTEN, READING MR. JEROME I ' m glad I had the experience of teaching in the states. I wouldn ' t go back for anything. I guess OCS has spoiled me. - ENGLISH MRS.

RAMOS I As a total rookie it was a comfort to know the veterans have gone through the same trials I have . ' ' - BIBLE, ART MR. RUDY Teaching is snowball fights with the seventh graders . ' ' MISS RUSSELL The students I ' ve taught at OCS are the brightest, most interesting students I ' ve taught anywhere. Most are open and eager to learn, which makes teaching them really enjoyable. THIRD GRADE, ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL MRS. SEIDENBERG Essayes d ' apprendre le franqais, quelque difficile qu ' il soit - ou que vous fassiez quoi que ce soit, faites tout pour la gloire de Dieu. MR. SEIDENBERG Teaching at OCS means being free to talk about Jesus Christ, the One who works wonders in people ' s lives. It means seeing children change into young men and women. - SCIENCE, MATH MR. STEBBINS After all was said and done, there was more said than done. - BASIC ENGLISH. MUSIC MR. TOYOSATO What a satisfying experience it is to relate to people with various nationalities . ' ' - JAPANESE MISS WITTE This is my sixth year of teaching at OCS and it is rewarding to watch the progress of those who started in my first or second grade class. I am thankful for the influence of OCS in their lives and thankful for the small place I have had in it. - FIRST AND SECOND GRADE MR. ZOSEL What I really like about our students is that I can demand a lot from them, and get a lot from them. - P.E.. SOCIAL STUDIES MRS. ZOSEL The only reason I teach is because I enjoy students . Learning, discussing, laughing and playing with students makes teaching fun. - P.E. . BASIC ENGLISH BOARD OF EDUCATION AND ADMINISTRATION FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Bob Greninger, Mel Duke, Shelton Allen. STANDING: Carl Johnson, Bill Quisenberry. NOT PICTURED: Dick Johnson, Richard Flach. Don Hageman Business Manager Edd King Director of Promotion Education is a cooperative venture. The goals of learning are best achieved through the united efforts of parents, teachers, and students. Optimum learning results when concerned appreciative parents , trained conscientious teachers, and active inquiring students join together in the endeavor of education. We at Okinawa Christian School add yet another dimension to this learning - growing process. For we recognize the activity of God in the universe and in the individual. Okinawa Christian School ' s purpose is more than providing for an acquisition of facts. It is more than aiding growth in skills or social development through interaction and experiences - though these are necessary to be an educated person. The taking on of Christian morals and spiritual values through learning about and joining with God through Christ and His purpose are at the heart of our school . We believe this togetherness with God becomes a foundation for personality coordination and for choices and ethical behavior now and in the future.

BIG BROTHER PROGRAM Our Big Brother Program enabled some of our younger students to have an older pal to go places with and share experiences with. Not only did the little brothers and sisters have fun, but also they were exposed in a unique way to wholesome Christian values. ATHLETICS p i £ . . . THEY WERE CHALLENGED The girls ' varsity volleyball learn had a rather disappointing season. We started off with a bang, winning our first two games, and it looked as though we would be at the top of the league. From then on, however, losses were more frequent than victories. The major weaknesses seemed to be inconsistent serving and poor service returns. Also, the team was fairly young, with two of the starters from the eighth grade . The team participated in an exciting, first-ever Far East Volleyball Tournament after the regular season . In the first game against the Wagner Falcons from the Philippines, the team was stunned by hard spiking. The Wagner team went on to win the tourney. Although the girls were not successful in the tournament, they were challenged to improve their skills by playing such tough competitors. - MRS.

They are no longer rookies. With valuable on-the-court experience behind them, they should have a fine season next year; they have all the potential to be a top-notch squad. - MRS.

Though we lack in physical size , I feel it is made up for in skill, speed, strength, endurance, and, in this sport, these qualities are critical . They share my respect for the sport , and they ' re teaching me a few things about it as well. I can say with confidence that the opposition will have their hands full ! - MR. RAMOS, COACH NGipS CMS-ieS . . . ON THESE LA8T FEW PAGE9 . . . Lord , somehow it seems very important that we talk to You again on these last few pages of our 1976 CITADEL. Publishers tell us that a yearbook ought to be a memory book. We hope ours is. But we hope it is more. Our prayer is that CITADEL 76 glorifies You, Lord , and what You have done for us at OCS As these pages are turned , as we look at ourselves and as we get looked at , help us to see how special we are. Not special in an ego-trip way, or special because of who or what we are, but special because of Who made us . With our laughing and crying and yelling and singing and praising and praying , in our creative times and in our blah times, on those super great days and on those depressingly dumpy days, Lord, may we never take for granted the fact that You are always there . May we never take for granted the fact that You designed us and that each of us is Your very special creation . . . And finally, Lord, thank You for bringing us at OCS together in Your Spirit, where - if we choose not to settle for less - we can experience the fullest kind of inter-personal caring, appreciation, and sensitivity - and be refined in the bond of Your perfect Love.
