Inauguration CRADLED beside the green round hills of Manoa, the amphitheater served as the scene of the formal inauguration of ge- nial, white-haired Gregg M. Sinclair as pres ident of the University of Hawaii. Although dwarfed in interest by spectacular events in the Pacific, the simple, dignified ceremony was not without significance. Despite war- time haste, the importance of the university's part in a nation at war was keenly felt by the presence of community leaders, notably mili- tary heads of the armed services Leading universities of the United States and Eng- land, because of the effect of the war upon transportation facilities, were represented by prominent local people who are alumni of the various institutions. The significance of this battlefront university s operation was noted by the messages received from both President Roosevelt and Lord Halifax Re- cently-inaugurated Governor Stainback pre- sided at the inauguration ceremony Fifty-two-year-old, Canadian-born Presi- dent Sinclair is the fourth president in the history of the University of Hawaii. A grad- uate of the University of Minnesota and Co- lumbia University. President Sinclair has spent several years in the Far East, mainly Japan. While looking back with pride at the thirty-five-year history of this university, he feels that its greatness lies in its future . . . a future pregnant with potentialities in a Pa- cific-centered civilization. . By its unique location this university has the best opportu- nity for the intelligent understanding of a changing Pacific-area. It has possibilities of becoming a ranking university.'' President Sinclair feels Hawaii needs no apologies for this university. The quality of our future ci- vilization will depend largely on our stu- dents. and perhaps the greatest part in mold- ing leaders will be played by President Sin- clair.

Sinclair, Seq., Oliver a it? ef Wmmlt, President Sinclair's Inaugural Address (An Excerpt) THIS ceremony symbolizes the spirit ol America. Though besieged by external dangers, we show by our presence here an appreciation of and a belief in education. We Americans have at all times acted on the thesis that education is an essential to our way of life. . . This ceremony, therefore, is in keeping with our American heritage Despite the war and its dangers and hardships, we meet to re-dedicate ourselves to democracy's greatest agency ol self-perpetuation: educa- tion. America is great not alone by virtue of its natural resources and its political ide- ology; in part at least, its greatness has rc suited from universal common schooling and accessible institutions of higher learning. Education has enabled our people to dis- cover natures laws, to work in harmony with them, to utilize them to our advantage We shall see a new world, in which what we have known will be as outmoded and as strange as the life in the gay nineties seems to us today China and India have the masses of people, the resources, the intellec- tual and spiritual vitality to become domi- nant in their own right. We can see the be binnings there of the coming Industrial Revo- lution. but the common people do not yet have the education necessary to a utilization of the harnessing of power This point of view will come with the introduction of edu- cational systems adequate to the needs of modern life By its situation in the Pacific, and by its cosmopolitan attitude and racial complexion. Hawaii will play a part in this movement of the centuries, East and West, Occident and Orient. This is true, whether v e will or no . . In its thirty-five years of history as col- lege and university, the University of Hawaii has, indeed, made a worth-while beginning as an institution of higher learning—and I would here like to pay tribute to my three predecessors who have laid the foundation upon which we shall build—but its greatness lies in the future, a future pregnant with po- tentialities in a Pacific-centered civilization. V e must, therefore, be ever alert to our pos- sibilities both in interpretation and in ad- vanced research in the sciences and the hu- manities. . . . A university, to be worthy of the name, has three major functions, it should pass on the social heritage; it should prepare its students professionally, it should concern itself with graduate work and research. The college graduate in Hawai. to be an effective Ameri- can citizen, must have had the joy of explor- ing the social, the physical, and the natural sciences, philosophy, literature, and the arts. By contact with the best that has been thought and uttered in the world, the student may not make more money in his eight or ten hours of daily labor, but he does live a richer, more intelligent life Good American citizenship is predicated on knowledge and understanding; the college graduate should not be in much danger of being swept away by isms, the nostrums for current sock.. evils, he should have the perspective of the ages to guide him. With research, scientific and cultural vistas open out before us, and the continued progress of the arts and sci- ences. is assured. The University of Ha waii, therefore, should serve these needs with increasing effectiveness. The presidency of a state university is a position of honor and trust. In accepting leadership of the University of Hawaii, I do so with humbleness and with sincere appro ciation of the confidence placed in me by the Board ol Regents. I regard my service as a challenge, not alone to myself, but also to my associates ... to the many students. . to our alumni . to our legislators ... to the entire community of Hawaii . Let us look back with pride over the relatively short history of this, our University. Let us deter- mine to make this institution in the present a fortress of strength in our country's time of need. Let us look forward to a future of ex panding usefulness to Hawaii nei, to the United States of America in which we so proudly share a place, and to the world at large in an era of peace and prosperity when man again shall be free 20 Reviewing Past Administrations President Gilmore A KINDLY man who tolerated student oranks and understood student needs was John Washington Gilmore, first president of the University of Hawaii Being a practical teacher, he placed the emphasis on the need of getting down to fundamentals. Students called him a kindly and friendly counsellor. John Gilmore was thoroughly convinced that the security of democracy was based upon the education of youth. Out of a legislative measure passed on March 25, 1907, arose the land-grant College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, which later came to be known as the University of Hawaii The Second Morrill Act of 1890 provided the territorial legislature with an incentive for establishing a land grant col- lege because of its provision that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of public lands would go to the more complete endowment and support of colleges for the benefit of ag riculture and mechanic arts. It was under this act and succeeding acis of a like nature that the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Ar!s benefitted In the summer of 1908, John Washington Gilmore was appointed by the Board of Re- gents to be the president of the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Aits and also Pro fessor of Rural Economy and Agronomy. A small student body, a limited curriculum, and no student activities characterized the first year of the life of the college. About the year 1910, football, the never failing sport of a college, found its way into the spirit of the campus, leading to the formation of a football team. President Gilmore resigned in 1913. With his faith, vision, indomitable energy, and cense of humor, he had laid the founda- tions. I. v as during his administration that the faculty increased from twelve to tweniy, the student enrollment in regular courses s.eppod up from five to twenty-four, the Col- loro of Hawaii evolved out of the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, the college moved to green Manca Valley and occu p:cd Hav aii Hall. ( A farmer at heart, Professor Gilmore loved the soil, and knew the value of Hawaii as an agricultural country. He was a true agricul- luiis. and farmer. Since Professor Gilmore's first and real love in education and occupa tion was agriculture, the university made a filling gesture in honoring his memory when it named the agricultural building Gilmore Hall ai a special dedication ceremony on March 25, 1943. President Dean WITH THE resignation of President Gil- more. the College of Hawaii faced a critical academic year during 1913-14 because during this time the college was without a president. Professor John H. Do- noghho carried the load as acting dean until relieved. Dr. Arthur Lyman Dean, a member of the faculty of Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University, was selected by the Board of Regents as the second president of the College of Hawaii Leaving behind a campus. Dr. Dean ar- rived in Honolulu and found a pasture. The roads were impassable in wet weather. Although finances were in a deplorable condition, he did not give up his job but in- stead vigorously attacked the problem This prompted the legislature of 1915 to appro- priate twice as much money as had been allotted in 1913. At the same time, sport en- thusiasts were surprised by a donation presented by Mr. J. P. Cook to clear and grade a portion of the wild lands of the campus to lay out an athletic field. A man whose diversified abilities included that of being a business executive, scientist and educator, was Dr. Arthur L. Dean. A no- table revelation of his talents as a business executive occurred when a movement for establishing a college of liberal arts to join with the College of Hawaii came from the people of Hawaii. With swift efficiency Dr. Dean dralted and worked out most of the details of the plan for the organization of this new institution. In the field of science he did much toward improving the labora- tory methods of refining chaulrnoogra oil into specific uses as a palliative in the treat- ment of leprosy. And, always and foremost the educator. Dr Deans administration brought to our university an increased pres- tige as an educational and scientific research center. Dr Dean's capabilities and resourceful- ness made themselves manifest throughout our institute, and growth and development followed. When he came to us we were a small college, when he left us we were a university with an ever-mounting culture Perhaps as time passes, some of our presi- dents will be remembered more than oth- ers; if this proves to be true there is no doubt that Dr. Dean's accomplishments will be felt. Behind him he has left the College of Ap- plied Science and the College of Arts and Sciences—living tributes of his untiring ef- forts on our behalf. Long shall we remem ber our benefactor -Dr. A L Dean. 22 President Crawford DEVOTION to service is an admirable trait for those engaged in the teaching pro- fession to have, but when devotion is coupled with energy and vision it becomes more than admirable—it becomes memora- ble. Writers have penned great stories about teachers possessing these qualities, stories recording their lives, their optimistic striv- ings, and their personal happiness at help- ing those who yearly pass before them to a fuller, more meaningful life. And always, when teachers like these leave a universi- ty, they also leave behind them a feeling of deep regret at their departure, with mem- bers of the faculty and student body alike. Such a teacher, inspiring just such a feel- ing, is Dr. David L. Crawford, third president of our University of Hawaii Coming to Hawaii in 1917 to join the uni- versity faculty as a professor. Dr. Crawford later directed the extension service as head of its department of entomology, finally suc- ceeded Dr. Arthur L Dean as president. With characteristic vision he foresaw the latent possibilities of our university, its necessity to expand and achieve cultural significance and its place in the community. Under President Crawford’s administra- tion, growth and development of the univer- sity was rapid. All over the campus build- ings were erected Up went the Charles H. Atherton House for men (a private endow- ment), Dean Hall, the Engineering Ouadran gle, the Aggie ’ building. Farrington Hall, the gymnasium. He also augmented the faculty staff. Research work and extension service progressed constantly at the Ha- waii Agricultural Experiment Station, the Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture, the Oriental Institute, the Psychological and Psy- chopathic Clinic, and the Adult Education Division. He made our university a going concern Leaving our Alma Mater to answer the call to a larger service, that of serving our country in war, Dr. David Livingston Craw- ford left behind these heartening words. The prospect (of the university) for the coming years seems to be one of larger growth and greater usefulness to Hawaii . . It is with a great deal of pain and sorrow that I. leave this campus 23 24 A S U H CHANGES, changes, and more changes characterized the 1943 government of the Associated Students of the University of Hawaii. For the first time in its history, the ASUH had three sets of officers in a year When the University opened in September, Douglas Brier, president, Andrew Ikezawa, vice-president, and Nobuko Kosaki, secre tary, took office. With the resignation of Brier and Kosaki at the end of the first semester, the ASUH faced a critical period with only one officer. Temporary administrative ofiicers were -n stalled with Ikezawa as acting president and Marian Chun as acting secretary In March, a new set of officers was elected They were Henry Nakamura, president. A1 bert Wong, vice-president; and Mary Ima- fuji, secretary. Not only did three groups of officers come and go, drastic changes swept the entire set- up of the government. Reduction in enroll- ment and war conditions necessitated a re- organization of the entire program of activi ties. The Board of Publications and the Board of Athletic Control went out of existence. The Board of Debale and Forensics was chos- en but v as short-lived. After the consiiiu- tion was redefined and the elastic clause stretched to meet the emergent -leeds of the day, Robert Chuck, sophomore, was ap pointed manager. 1 iowever, because of poor organization and le.hargy on the part of the students, the program of the debate commit- tee did not materialize. The traditional Thanksgiving Oratorical contest was forgotten until too late by the ofiicers and councillors, who v ere too busy making regulations to prohibit studen s from visiting the ASUH. AWS, and KA PALAPALA ofiices. A Christmas contest was sponsored instead, with Henry Carey, freshman, plac- ing first with his essay entitled A Christmas Message to Youth.” The ASUH was, however, not without meritorious achievements to its credit. It par ticipated in the now-historic inauguration of President Sinclair. The comfortable chair in which the President of the University of Ha- ASUH COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN—Top Albert Wong Alice Chun, Yoshio Higuchi Bottom Taicashi Noda.

The convocations committee, headed by Alice Chun, councillor, and Dr. Harold Wads worth, faculty chairman, presented to the student body and the community several outstanding convocations. The first, held on October 8. featured Mrs. Walter F. Dilling ham. Director of the Women's Division of the Office of Civilian Defense, who spoke on The Student s Part in War Work.' A special Navy Day convocation was held on October 27 at the amphitheater. Vice Admiral Ainsworth, USN, was the guest speaker, and the Royal Hawaiian Band pre- sented several musical selections. November 25 marked the third convoca- tion when Dr. Arthur L. Dean spoke on Ideals and Democracy, and a Negro quar- tet from Fort Armstrong thrilled the audience with several Negro spirituals. The Murder of Lidice by Edna St. Vincent Millay was presented at a convocation sponsored by the sophomore class. Also at this time, Elbert Yee gave his speech that placed second in the Christmas essay contest Jefferson Day called for the fifth convocation of the year ASUH COUNCILLORS (Counter-clockwise) Phyllis Tam.

Gradually more members were added to this body as the association expanded its community service projects. The association performed services for the university through its big sister programs, community service, and improvements of Hemenway Hall. Adapting itself to the accelerated school program, the big sister committee began work ahead of schedule to take care of the incoming freshmen girls at the Little Sister Rush held in June 1942 Louise Samson. Elsie Awai and Heather Todd were in charge. Over punch and cookies prepared by Betty Janssen, the “little sisters got acquainted with the women's organization Officers and committee chairmen were introduced Since faculty women were invited, the freshmen were given an idea as to what their pro spective women teachers would be like. The community service committee mem- bers cooperated with the Office of Civilian Defense and the junior Red Cross by spon- soring various individual activities. Mrs. H. A. Wadsworth was in charge of the knitting project for the Red Cross. To extend the Christmas spirit. Yoshie Hi- guchi and her committee joinsd in with the project sponsored by the Office of Civilian Defense. Merry Christmas from a Univer- sity Student was extended to service men with gifts donated by students and faculty. More than 500 gifts were sent to Mrs. Cady of the Red Cross, and from there forwarded to men in the outlying islands. Shaving sets, airmail stationery and cartons of cigarettes were among the gifts. In Hawaiian style, the women students sat on the floor of the womens lounge in Hemenway Hall, and saw The Lamp Went Out. a play directed by Yuri Takesue with the help of talented women. The program was a form of thanks from the AWS to students who donated Christmas gifts for the service men Abiding by wartime conditions, the social committee and the Victory Workroom com- bined their efforts for the Victory Workroom Jamboree.

The Victory Workroom, with Rosemary Tongg as its head, was our connecting link with Mrs. Cady of the funior Red Cross. All students were invited to participate in the activities of the workroom. A university rainbow seal was affixed to all scrapbooks made by the students. The following letter was addressed to the service men who were to receive them through the Red Cross: The University of Hawaii sends greet- ings to you. men of the Service, with the hope that, though far from friends and loved ones, you may find in our Islands new acquaintances and true expressions of Aloha- friendship. Since the life of our university depends upon your de- fense of our Islands, the students of the University of Hawaii wish, through this gilt, to express their appreciation of your sacrifices and your devotion to duty. On it is the rainbow, the University emblem, with its message of courage and faith in the future. The lack of socials was partly made up by participation in dances for service men on the campus as well as off the campus. Mari- etta Chong, Una May Zane, Rose Tan.

The girls found that it “did them good to learn to be good hostesses Fumiko Itakura of the house committee made people sit up and take notice when her committee, with the aid of the honorary advisers, made plans for re-upholstering pieces of furniture in the women's lounge in Hemenway Hall. The project was finally ex- tended to include all the furniture in Hemen- way Hall. The matter was referred to the ASUH Council. The Board of Regents grant- ed $1,000 and the ASUH $500 for the cost. With the Silver Tea fund, the house commit- tee purchased a koa punch-bowl for use in Hemenway Hall. It was the committee's job to purchase vases and other things to im- prove Hemenway Hall and the AWS office The Liloa Rise home of Dr. and Mrs A L Andrews was the site for a setting up confer ence Besides planning on activities for the coming year, the girls heard Mrs. Bruce White speak on The Organization of a Committee. The association turned its attention to cul- tural interests.

The outgoing council members gave way to the new council members with many sug- gestions for activities in the coming year. 33 Book Two Students r Class of 1946 ON SEPTEMBER 22. 1942, the history of the first war-time freshman class of the University of Hawaii began. It began by breaking one of the most significant tradi- tions attached to the initiation of freshman students. The flag rush was called off! War conditions demanded freshman energies for more serious and constructive activities. The relatively few drenched figures and mud- covered laces were also indicative of the changes in the campus spirit brought about by war. The class lost no time in getting itself or- ganized. Richard Kosaki was elected presi- dent; Rosemary Tongg, vice-president, and lean Oto, secretary. The freshmen, with the sophomores, cele- brated the close of the first semester by hold- ing a barn dance on February 6. Hemen- way Hall was strewn with hay. A1 Capps' Daisy Maes and Lif Abners cut the rug to the tunes of Alvin Isaacs' orchestra. Through the hard work of freshman chair- man Eugene Rabe, and sophomore chair OFFICERS (Counter-clockwise) President Richard Kosaki Vice-President Rosemary Tongg Secretary Joan Ono 36 man Charles Kagawa, and their respective committees, the dance was successfully managed The proceeds of the dance were forwarded to the World Students Service Fund to assist needy students of other coun- tries at war. With the second semester, came the Wednesday war work program. To help the students invest their Wednesday pay checks, the class conducted a war bond and stamp sale in the lobby of Hemenway Hall. Heading this project was Nora Saida, who alone sold over twenty-two thousand dollars’ worth of bonds and stamps. Prominent in sports, the freshman class was able to win sweeping victories over the upperclassmen in swimming through the per- formances of Charles Oda of national fame, Harry Kobayashi, Ace Higuchi, George Hi- guchi, Walter Watson, and A Miyasaka. Other outstanding athletes included H. Kuri- saki, G. Liu, S. Sasai, E. Yee, J. Ohtani. B. Nakamura. The women of the class also shared honors in athletics, taking part in vol- leyball, pistol shooting, jacks, bowling, bas- ketball. archery, and other women's athletic association activities. Rosemary Tongg won the women's tennis championship. The freshmens keenness in sports was further borne out by the large turnouts at the football games when the Rainbows, our unofficial representatives, played for the University. Song leaders Nyna Hamic, Rose mary Tongg. and Pearl Ho, and cheer lead- ers Lei Folk. John Mendonca, David Roy and William Valentin led the team through many games by invigorating singing and cheering. Freshman students who contributed to campus publications were Eugene Rabe and Yaeko Shigezawa to Ka Palapala, Rosemary Tongg, Caroline Silva, and Hazel Hokama to Ka Leo. Nyna Hamic. Pearl Ho, Carol Zane, and Frances Fernandez, beauties of the class, were attendants to the Pineapple Bowl Queen. V ith unflagging enthusiasm and esprit de corps the class of '46 will aim to improve upon this year’s meritable accomplishments through studies as well as through student activities during the coming years.

Bill McCracken 37 Class of 1945 WITH the magnanimous generosity of sultans, the sophs spared the freshies from hazing this year. Sophomore tradi- tionists could hardly bear such an atrocity, but the rule of the majority prevailed. The freshies were made to understand, however, that they were merely war profiteers the sophomores were complying with the exac tions of war time, and no benevolence was involved Official business began in September with President Dick Kuykendall pounding the gavel, vice-president Alan Walker sitting pretty, secretary Yoshie Higuchi writing one hundred eighty words a minute, and treas- urer Pershing Lo counting and recounting every penny to keep the sophomores out of the red. The officers were aided by the councillors Betty Kikawa, Mildred Doi, Una May Zane, Robert Chuck and Charles Ka gawa. OFFICERS (Counter-clockwise): President Richard Kuykendall Vice-President Allen Walker Secretary Yoshie Higuchi Treasurer Pershing Lo 40 In October, President Sinclair's inaugura- tion engaged the immediate attention of the sophomore class. Una May Zane was ap- pointed chairman of the sophomore inaugu- ration committee There was a solid sopho- more representation at the inauguration ceremony. Sponsoring the Christmas Convocation held in Farrington Hall was the crowning glory of the sophomore achievements. The feature of the program v as the radio dra- matization of Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem, The Murder of Lidice,' by students selected from the campus at large. So fine was their rendition of the poem that the radio voices of the players drew wonder, applause, and even tears from the audience. Betty Kikawa was program chairman. In January the V ar Council got under- way. Its chairman was Dick Kuykendall, sophomore class president On February 6. the sophomores and fresh- men jointly sponsored a barn dance at Hern- enway Hall. There were boys in faded over- alls with corn-cob pipes, and girls in pig- tails and big straw hats There were wisps of hay and stalks of grass, and Turkey in the Straw ! When it comes to sports, the sophomores preen their feathers They point with pride to Mike Hazama, Robert Chuck, Robert Kau and Pershing Lo The sophomore girls, too, were good athletes. Outstanding were Vio- let Motokane, Harriet Ewaliko, Yoshika To- rigoe, Lorraine Tanaka, Una May Zane, Mil- dred Iv anaka, Hester Kong, Judith Kubo and Hilda Matsumoto. On March 3, the sophomore picnic planned to be held in the outdoor theater was trans- ferred to Hemenway Hall because of the weather. The program as planned by Hes- ter Kong was filled v ith mirth and fun for everyone during the afternoon. At the end of March, the sophomores, as all other classes, lost many of its members to the U. S. army. Their loss was felt keenly, but the sophomores carried on with high spirits and finished the year successfully. SOPHOMORE COUNCIL—Let to right Dick Kuykendall.

I Class of 1944 IN ALL seriousness and intent for a less boisterous and more productive year, the class of 1944 opened the second half of their college career with a mass meeting in the chemistry laboratory hall. Class officers were nominated, and plans for the year were made Later, after the dust of the inevitable elections had settled, four officers were led to the grindstone. Elbert Yee was given the gavel. He conducted meetings with a maxi- mum of humor and a maximum of efficiency Hironobu Hino was chosen vice-president He volunteered with other Americans of Japanese ancestry and left for the mainland for training and combat service The freckle- faced red-head, Betty Janssen, became the class secretary Seiso Taniguchi was given the responsibility of handling the biggest bank account of all classes. Councillors were Aileen Ichijo, Kenneth Uyehara, Doug- las Takagi, Chong Sook Kim. Barbara Bown, Marjorie Macklin, and Andrew Ikezawa. The governing powers split into two fac- tions on issues pertaining to financial mat OFFICERS (Counter-clockwise)- President Elbert Yee Vice-President Hironobu Hino Treasurer Seiso Taniguchi Secretary Betty Janssen ters. One favored the pinch penny save for-graduation philosophy and the other the more epicurean, eat drink and-be merry while-we-have-youth-and-digestion policy. However, the latter group won and the re suit was the Junior-Senior Prom held on Ma 23 at Hemenway Hall. The dance, headed by Chong Sook Kim, was the last on the list of activities included in the social calendar for the year. On April 11, the class held a luau in the outdoor amphitheater. It proved a ripping’ success under chairman Yuri Takesue. There were poi, limu, pakai, laulau, lomilomi salmon, haupia, and even a kalua pig — a regular Hawaiian luau! The gaiety of the afternoon was enhanced by tropical sur- roundings, including free entertainment ren- dered by local mynah birds. To many of the juniors this will remain an affair hard to forget. In the field of athletics, the juniors had a large group of stars. Kenneth Uyehara, Hidemi Fukui, Elbert Yee, Haruyuki Kane- moto, Henry Fukuda, Roy Nakano, Hidetoshi Suyeoka, Louis Yamauchi, Koon Tuck Mu, and Kenneth Ing upheld the honor of the junior class on the football field The juniors point wiih pride to a number of star athletes who made up a large group in the world of sports. Those who added to the prestige of the junior class on the basketball court were Kenneth Uyehara, Louis Yamauchi, and Ken neth Ing on team B, and Hidemi Fukui, Roy Nakano, Hidetoshi Suyeoka, Shigeji Sato. Richard Ando, and Toshimi Sodeiani on team A Roy Nakano and Louis Yamauchi clinch- ed a berth on both football and basketball all-star teams. Richard Ando was an all- star back. Hironobu Hino shone on the all- star basketball team. The swimming team with Captain Kenneth Uyehara, Matsuo Takabuki, Roy Nakano, and Hidemi Fukui reaped more honors for the jolly juniors. Editor-in-chief of Ka Leo was efficient and scholarly Dorothy Jim, known as ‘’Dof by her staff members and colleagues. A special six-page junior edition of Ka Leo edited by Michiko Unc was a journalistic success. Hence, with confidence for a successful coming year, the juniors bring to a conclu- sion a worthwhile and jolly school year. JUNIOR COUNCIL—Loft to right: Chong Sook Kim, Aileon Ichijo.

The class was fortunate to have lived through the period of transition from peace to war. Flag- rushing days accompanied with plenty of over-ripe tomatoes and rotten eggs were but one of the features experience by the seniors during pre-war days Outstanding achievements of this time were the winning of the All-Hawaii oratorical contest by Harry Tanaka, the Berndt contest by Keichiro Ya- mato, and the interclass debate champion- ship by a team composed of Ruben Yap, Keichiro Yamato, Walter Goto, and Harry Tanaka during sophomore year, and a four- some of George Yamamoto, Walter Goto, Harry Tanaka, and a woman orator, Mae Sakamoto, during junior year. After December 7, some of the boys joined the Hawaii Territorial Guards, while others OFFICERS (Counter-clockwiso) President Phyllis Tam Vice-President Dora Sen Secretary Clara Higa Treasurer Lillian China 48 volunteered for work in the Office of Civilian Defense. The girls helped at the YWCA cafeteria and at first aid stations. When classes were resumed after two months, the enrollment had dwindled considerably, be- cause many stuaents remained with the HTG or took up defense jobs. The class was further reduced in size when a number of men students ,oined the Varsity Victory Vol- unteers in February. Second semester saw former classmates returning to school, but only for a short time; for they left in March for Camp Shelby. Miss., as AJA volunteers. Some of the seniors who have done out- standing work for their Alma Mater are Douglas Brier and Henry Nakamura, ASUH presidents; Mae Sakamoto, editor of Ka Palapala; Pearl Richardson, AWS president. Class officers and councillors have also con- tributed towards upholding the prestige of the class. Students who will long be remembered as fellow clcssmates. though they did not re- main to graduate, are Kenneth Chang, Ade lino Valentin and Ted Tsuyikama, freshman, sophomore, and junior class presidents re- spectively, Bill Kawato, sophomore vice- president. Maxwell lohnson. Rainbow and Varsity basketball star, Vernon Wong; Pat Smith, the song leader with personality plus, Mary Louise Cobb Adams, Rachel Leong, and Lilinoe Murray. In athletics, stars were Kazuo Takanishi. Ichiro Nadamoto, Henry Nakamura, Paul Tamura, Charles Oh, and Larry Kuriyama. In WAA, Laura Yemoto, Lai Seu Choy, and Beatrice Suiso held the limelight. Socials were not plentiful this year, but the ones held were successful and enjoyable. A picnic was held at the YWCA Beach Club on Thanksgiving Day. Paul Tamura's home was the scene of a farewell house party given in honor of the February graduates. A talent parade was sponsored by the class to raise funds for the WSSF drive An im- promptu picnic honoring the senior AJA vol- unteers will remain a cherished memory for many a senior. A wienner roast picnic was held in April at the YWCA Beach Club. Plans for Baccalaureate Service, farewell luau, and commencement exercises were in full swing as Ka Palapala went to press.

AH SUNG WRIGHT. HAROLD Book Three I I Ka Palapala KA PALAPAl.A certainly had its share of The Impact of War on the University of Hawaii! First it was finances. Decrease in enrollment and reduction in student body fee forced KA PALAPALA to work on a drasti- cally limited fund in the face of ever mount- ing costs of paper, printing, and photographic supplies. Making ends meet was a headache that is putting it mildly. Only the skillful managership of ’Pump Searle kept produc- tion cost at its minimum. When contracts with the Paradise of the Pacific printing shop and Williams Studio were drawn and everything seemed to be running smoothly, the Special Service Corps moved into Farrington Hall, leaving KA PALAPALA without a darkroom. This meant developing and printing pictures outside of school. Photographers Edmund Low and Sammy Mukaida had to work at home in their own darkrooms. Top to bottom Mao Sakamoto, editor Theodore Searle, graduate mar.aye; Yoshiaki Shimizu, associate editor 66 Then came the second semester, and with it the five-day week program. Staff mem- bers, already taxed v ith the accelerated cur- riculum, now had to work in the pineapple fields or help supervise at the cannery. And while the staff members were thus working under pressure, induction of Americans of Japanese ancestry into the Army whisked away several members of the staff, increas- ing the work of those who remained behind. These and many other handicapping im- positions did not prevent the staff from pro ducing a book. In fact, such changes as these, brought about by war on the life of the students and campus of the University of Hawaii were exactly what the staff wished to bring out in their book The aim of the '43 Clockwise: Yuriko Yoshimori Akira Tanaka Yuri Takosuc Doris Oshima 67 Norman Kikuta Ruby Dewa Eugene Rabe annual was not to be an elaborato photo- graph album, but to serve as an invaluable record book of the who's, what's, where's, when's, why's, and how's of the University's operation in a combat zone At the close of last school year, the ASUH council appointed Mae Sakamoto as editor of KA PALAPALA She and several en- thusiastic journalists made preliminary plans for the book dunng the summer vacation. However, with the appropriation unknown and the enrollment indefinite, specific plans could not be made School began on Sep- tember 28 In October, a staff was organized and KA PALAPALA went into production in the office back of the ASUH and AWS of- fices. In keeping with the economy of war. KA PALAPALA adopted simplicity as its style. Former yearbooks contained two hundred- odd pages This year, the size was cut down to 136 pages. An unexpired contract with the Molloy Cover Company enabled KA PALAPALA to get stiff covers at a pre-war price The old die, instead of a new cover design, was used to curb additional cost. Fewer angles were used in the layout; line cuts, two page spreads, and fancy engrav ings were left out. Colors were not utilized. Photography had to be limited to the barest essentials. Camera hounds tried to make the first takes' good so that valuable and ex- pensive films and sensitized papers were not wasted on retakes and reprints In so economizing, KA PALAPALA did not sacrifice its quality and workmanship. Nor did it forget that as an ASUH activity it must be a student publication. Student photographers snapped, developed, and printed the pictures Staff members con- tributed to the literary style. In more ways than one, student talents were brought out The division pages are the work of Yoshiaki Shimizu, one of the best art students on the campus The editor made it clear that KA PALA- PALA was to be a strictly extra curricula ac- tivity Staff members were required to ful- fill their share in the University's total war effort Work on the annual was accom plished during what little leisure time stu- dents had between classes. To some students, the 1943 KA PALAPALA may merely mean 136 pages of pictures and copies between two hard covers.

Former Editor Elbert Yee's copy, sent down to the printers on Saturday, De- cember 6, was never printed and the cam- pus newspaper automatically went off the press. But the year 1942-1943 was to see campus politics and socials once more on paper.' As soon as September rolled around, the new staff, headed by Dorothy Jim, went into a huddle, formed its editorial policy and straightened out its new hide-out for work. The old oiiice was leaned to the army and so the familiar round table and typewriters were moved to a smaller room across the hall. The new office was more cozy but too compact, the staff had to forego the rugged football games played in former years be- cause of lack of running space. Dorothy Jim Yuri Takesue Dr. Ralph Kuykendall, ad- viser and censor Cou nter-clock wise Edmund Low. Under martial law, added responsibili ties and precautions had to be taken by the staff. For the first time in its history, Ka Leo had to have all of its copy read by a censor. The man delegated to read the dirt written by newshounds was Professor Ralph Kuy- kendall Mr. Stanley Orne, who heretofore had given his professional as v ell as pater- nal advice to future journalists, was too busy with his new duties as head of the publica- tions department to remain with the staff But Stanley never failed Ka Leo reporters nor ed- itors when they ran up to his office for help.

The Optimist Stands Firm OFT have I heard this statement uttered with a sneer, “But you're too idealistic, you are not realistic.' I do not see how that statement holds weight. Does realism mean, then, that we should forget the best ;deas and conclusions men have made at great struggle and in its place use a method that is cold-blooded, selfish, two dimensional, so long as personal interest or special group in terests are satisfied and enhanced? Does it mean, then, that the feelings of the other fellow are to be disregarded in our subjec- tive calculations? I do not hold realism ic mean this. Realism as such is nothing but selfish, immediate shortsightedness. . . . True realism is farsighted. It is cognizant of the present, is contemporary, but is also aware of the future, it looks ahead into the future In its action, ideals are manifest. I firmly believe that the practical man, the realist, is the man with ideals. In this morning's Advertiser (April 4. 1943) I read Laselle Gilman's comment on the talk that Oren E. Long gave to the public. Mr Gilman comments thus Oren E. Long. Ha waiis educational director, speaks out against racial or national prejudice, dis- criminatory politics, misinformation, ignor- ance and hatred, urging broadmindedness, liberalism and the Christian procedure as a basis for winning the peace. With this there can be no quarrel, but we are concerned to- day with winning the war. We haven't yet won the war The realists of the United Na- tions are counting heavily on the racial preju- dice and hatred of the conquered peoples for Nobuyuki Nakasone their oppressors, and when the time comes millions will arise in cold wrath and destroy their enemies. In the purge there will be neither liberal nor Christian, but only hu- man. Mr. Gilmans attitude indicates several things. In the first place, it indicates ihe kind ol realism which is synonymous to shortsightedness I do not believe that those who deem themselves realists by con- cenuaiing on the immediate need of win- ning this war are true realists. Their perspec- tive goes not far enough. We should talk ol the peace that is to come. . . . Vital, un- forseen details will arise in the future. But I do believe that we must apprehend the general direction we want to go. Thus, we must think, we must discuss the future Else when the peace comes we shall be as un- ready for it as we were unready for this war If we do not accept this challenge, the men v ho have given their lives that a better world may result will have died in vain. . . In the second place Mr. Gilman would justify hatred, racial or national prejudice. . 1 believe that we, the United Nations, in the struggle for victory, will not be guided only by hatred and by a dependence on hatred. Else. I would feel that this war is not worth fighting, for no war is worth fight- ing if it is for a defense of hatred. The only hatred that is justified is the hatred for hatred. . . . That our enemies hate us is no excuse for our hating them. . . If we do not recognize this, then the German, Italian and Japanese people must go down. The Negro must go down in dejection and bitterness. The Jew must be forever persecuted. The American of Japanese ancestry must be de- nied his place in this government of ours be cause his skin is as yellow as Tojo's. I believe in the Christian philosophy be cause it defines a body of ethical idealism which teaches the humanity of humankind. Christianity is of great significance in that light It defines no more - indeed, it has never defined hypocrisy What has been committed in its name is not of it. Christi- anity as a body of ethical idealism works I do not mean to say that we will realize ihe ideals. I mean to say as in the words of Carl Schurx, Ideals are like stars. We will never touch them. but. like the seafarer on the desert of waters, we chose them for our guides, and following them we reach our destiny Honry Carey's ossay that won Nl • i K K i T 11 cssay ora' Christmas Message to Y outh THIS year it v iJI seem almost blasphemous to some to link Christmas and peace io gciher. For not since Christ was born have more people been unfavorably situated to carol the event than at this Christmastidc. Far rang ing bombers will find millions huddled n mod- ern catacombs In the cities of Britain, in � he great centers besides the North Sea, in the Hhincland and in Italy, and probably even in Hawaii, few households will gather together on Christmas day, to listen to compositions that the event has inspired They are beautiful hymns, but what a strange sound they oppose to the shriek and roar of guns and armies to- day! Should we be saying peace, peace, when there is no peace in this hideous world of 1942? For the sound of battle is heard the world around. Men and machines are locked in a monstrous death struggle on the bartered earth the sea entombs men whose ships are stricken at night, and death streams through the air on metal wings. The three V ise Men rejoiced with exceeding joy when they saw the bright star in the east. But no wise man in any nation rejoices today when he sees the red flame of battle leap into the sky. In spite of the chaotic condition of the v orld today. Christmas comes again, with its age-old story of shepherds watching their flocks by night, ol herald angels singing, and of Wise Men following a star to the birthplace of a king. As I am new speaking, there seems little hope of peace on earth for many months to come. Yet, despite the rumble of guns abroad, I have a Christmas message to offer to my own countrymen. And I wish to offer it primarily to the twenty-five million young Americans be tween seventeen and twenty-five years of age. To us young people what Christmas sym- bolizes is of the greatest importance. We are on the threshold of opportunity. By our lead- ership and by the ideals that are being instilled in our youthful minds, we will determine what our country, and, indeed, what the world will be half a century from now. Six million of us are in high school, more than one million in college; and eighteen million of us are now doing vital war work. V hether wc are in the fortunate group still pursuing our education, or have found our place in the war effort, Christmas still makes us the most fav- ored youth group in the world. Thank God this Christmas for the freedom that is ours and that the spirit of Christmas gives us —the freedom to think as we please, to do as we will; to get an education, to plan a career, to seek our fortune in high or low places, to have a home that is our castle, to worship or not as we desire, to rise or fall by our own efforts, to have complete liberty of conscience, to be the ruler of our own destiny, the sovereign of our own personality. These are some of the liberties in the oldest of the world's democracies. However, we have taken our liberties for granted, like the air we breathe, the telephone we use, the radio to which we listen. They seem automatic, as mat- ter-of-fact as if they had always been ours. Yet these very liberties have been acquired, and can be taken away. Christmas is the symbol of human progress, the keenest desire for which is manifest in youth, it stresses chanty to the poor, care of the underprivileged, a chance for all. The Yule season is electric with the spirit of good will It sometimes conquers even the hate of war There arc instances on record in the Civil War and in the First World War of enemy soldiers fraternizing on Christmas Eve. it is this spirit of good will, of charity, of sac- rifice, of service of search for truth, born of Christianity, that has given to the world the chain of hospitals and universities, the old peoples' homes, the orphanages, and the vast program of education and social welfare. There is no room for cynicism, for defeatism, nor frustration in the message of Christmas to youth. It stimulates visions of a better world. It gives to life a purpose and to every person- ality a destiny. Its resistless urge is that every- one should go forward, in spite of the turbulence in the world today. We can wish for youth today nothing better than a vital Christian attitude. I stress no doc- trine, for that is for the individual to determine for himself But I do urge our fellowship with God to be intimate let the beauty of the teach- ings, of the example, of the sacrifice of Christ grow upon us, let the relentless search for truth guide us: let the spirit of good will possess us.

Betty Kikawa, Prof Harold Wadsworth. War Council ON May 27, 1941, President Roosevelt called upon all the nation s institutions to defend the ideals of democracy from dan- gers within and without: ... an unlimited national emergency exists and requires the strengthening of our defence to the extreme limit of our national power and authority The nation will expect all individuals and all groups to play their full parts without stint, without selfishness, and without doubt that our democracy will triumphantly survive. . . . I call upon all loyal citizens to place the Nation's needs first in mind and in action to the end that v e may mobilize and have ready for instant defensive use all of the physical powers, all of the moral strength and all of the material resources of the Na- tion.' The University of Hawaii responded, but the full significance of this challenge was not realized until December 7. when the in- stitution suddenly found itself in a combat zone. School closed for tv o months during which time arguments as to reopening the University were meted out. Hence, when school opened in February, students and fac- ulty returned with a determination to prove that the University had a role, vital and essential in the war. Drastic changes took place The enroll- ment decreased tremendously, as ROTC men joined the Hawaii Territorial Guards, many others took up defense jobs, joined the OCD medical units, the WARD, and the Honolulu police force. Some who returned to school found time for education only on part-time basis. Faculty likewise suffered heavy loss. Readjustment in the use of building facili- ties had to be made as the army took over our gymnasium, Cooke Field, Farrington Hall and the Hawaii Hall basement. To the Army unit occupying Atherton House and Maurice Evans Special Service Corps mov ing into the newly constructed barracks, Mrs Reilly, cafeteria manager, extended the use of the cafeteria as the mess hall for break- fast, lunch, and dinner. An idle plot near the University farm was transformed into a temporary army cemetery. so Campus scenery too showed the atmos- phere of war. What once represented the spacious green lawns of the campus were dotted with bomb shelters. They, however, do not mar the beauty of the campus. In fact, they add color to our lawns for the morn ing glory vines planted over them are now in full bloom. Adaptations to war-time conditions neces- sitated the re-orientation of courses. War Aims and Policies, The Pacific Region in Modern Times, Morale, Chemical Analysis of Poisons and Certain War Gases, Route Surveying, Bridge Designing. First Aid. and Japanese Translation and Interpreation were but few of the war courses introduced Curriculum was streamlined and every college accelerated its program to hasten graduation of students who v ere preparing for responsible positions. Student activities were directed towards closer cooperation with the community and the military in Hawaii's total war effort. The Associated Women Students' community ser- vice committees, with June Suzuki as chair- man, organized a victory workroom, dancing groups for service men, a salvage committee, an evacuation committee, a blook bank, a volunteer job committee, and a placement Volunteer nurses take inventory of equipment Students register for Wednesday war work committee for the United States Engineering Department. The home economic students did their share by helping the Red Cross v ith knitting. The contributions of these committees were invaluable but it became obvious that Uni- versity war effort needed coordination. After considerable discussion between the ASUH Council and Pres. Sinclair, the University War Council, composed of four students chosen by the ASUH and three faculty members ap- pointed by President Sinclair, was set up to initiate, sponsor, coordinate, direct, and in- tensify all campus activities connected di rectly or indirectly with the war effort. Ap- pointed were: Dick Kuykendall, chairman: Andrew Ikezawa, Bill McCracken, and Betty Kikawa, students, and Professor Harold A. Wadsowrth, faculty chairman; Dr. Laura Schwartz, and Dr E. V. Sayers. Mrs. Delta Hanson YWCA adviser, and Dorothy fim, Ka Leo editor, were also asked to take part in the council. The War Council drew up a statement of policies and plunged into the job of material- izing their plans Dancing Co-cds on a jeep GREATEST task of the council came when the Board of Regents announced early in January that the University was to go on a live-day week during the second semester, leaving Wednesdays free for student and fac- ulty participation in alleviating the labor shortage on the island of Oahu. At registra- tion, each student was required to sign up for one of the nine categories of work. Stu- dents registered numbered 608: 249 for work in pineapple canneries, 142 for work in pine- apple fields; 34 for professional work; 29 for housework; 30 for day-care centers; 21 for hospitals and restaurants; 13 for miscel- laneous agricultural work, 48 for OCD work for women; 4 for OCD work for men; and 55 for Red Cross. A total of 226 students who had already secured their own jobs, con- tinued with their work. Among them were 47 full-time defense workers, 54 police o!- iicers and members of the armed forces, 25 nurses in training, 12 WARDS, 12 social case v orkers, and 14 practice teachers. Super- vised by Mrs. La Verne Bennett, the cannery workers at Libby's, California Packing Cor- poration, and Hawaiian Pineapple Company made trays, packed and trimmed pineapples, and worked in the chemistry department.

Armstrong and his field workers traveled to Kunia, Kipapa, Kemoo to gather cuttops. and pack the pineapples into crates. Professional service headed by Mr. Ernest Webster included draft work at the Hawaiian Electric Company. Miss Cenie Hornung helped many women engaged in essential war work by placing students to do housework. The workers with Mrs. Mary Bartow, being mostly home eco- nomics students well trained in child care, were a great help to the recently organized Day Care Centers. Hospitals and restaur ants, pressed for helpers, were relieved to some extent by students under Miss Virginia Jones. R.N.. and Mrs. Martha Reiiiy. Under agricultural labor, Mr. Roy Goff and Dr. Wil liam B. Storey provided work for students on the university farm. Mrs. Lucinda Bukeley supervised the Red Cross group and miscel- laneous work for women. OCD for men in Seedlings tor Victory Gardens. Volunteer nurses' aides. eluded rat control and first aid station work. This category was under Dr. Shunzo Saka maki's leadership. University's contributions to war effort through the Wednesday war work program were fully recognized by the community. The War Council received letters of appreciation from many prominent citizens of Oahu. Early in January. Dr. Sayers, representing the faculty morale committee, requested that Moku keeps loafers away from Homenway on Wodnosdays the War Council sponsor a series of lectures on the general topic The Situation Today.' The object of this series of lectures was to present to the students a broader view of the present war situation and to point out the problems that v ill exist in the post-war world. Participants and their topics were: President Sinclair, 'The University and the War, Mr. Charles F. Loomis, Problems in the Pacific Now and After the War, Colonel Kendall J. Fielder, Racial Problems and Military Strategy; Mr. E. E. Black, The Ci- vilian Defense Situation Today, Mr. Roy A. Vitousek, War and Post-War Problems Be- fore the 1943 Legislature, Mr. Robert W.

Av are of this, the military established an enterta nment center cn the university campus and stationed the Special Service Corps with Capta-n Maurice Evans, the famed Shakespearean star of the stage, as director The Special Service Corps is composed of professional entertainers, writers, poets, mu- sicians, and artists. After training and re- hearsing at Farrington Hall, these soldiers tour military outposts on Oahu, other islands, and warfronts to entertain men in uniform. To date they have presented two successful plays, “Hey, Mac!” and Boy Meets Girl.” Most unique and popular of this group are the Five Jerks in a Jeep and Sgt Dominic Peter's orchestra. Cpl.

LACK of time, equipmenl and men did not stop Ben Chan Wa and the severa! ath- letically inclined individuals from formulat- ing and carrying out a successful intramural program. The freshmen undoubtedly domi- nated the program this year, followed closely by the sophomores. The juniors and the seniors, because of the lack of manpower, were unable to keep up v ith the underclass- men but managed to offer some stiff com- petition in several of the events. FOOTBALL Inter-clacs touch football league opened its season on November 4 with six teams representing the various classes The fresh man class entered three teams, while the other classes contributed one each. Ail games were played at 4:30 at Wise Field. The relatively short season was marked with thrills and excitement. Most of the games played v ere close and hard-fought, each team fighting inspiringly lor its respective class Living up to pre-season predictions, the highly favored frosh A ' team emerged as undisputed champion. It culminated its brilliant campaign undefeated and untied. With a fast-charging line and a speedy back- field the freshmen uncorked too much speed and versatility for their opponents. The seniors finished in second place while the sophomores and juniors followed in that order BASKETBALL The interclass basketball games were divided into the elimination and round-robin series. In section I of the elimination series, the frosh A team led with four victories against no defeats to qualify for the final series. The soph A team was awarded the second berth in the round-robin series In section II the sophs won all of their engage- ments to fill the remaining positions on the round-robin roster together with the seniors, 98 MANAGERS (Clockwise) Hary Kurisaki. freshman; Charle; Kagawa, sophomore; Kenneth Uyehara. junior Kazuo Takanashi, senior. who came in second. The final series proved to be a very closely contested affair. The sophs, however, managed to stave off all comers and clinched the series by winning all of their games. The most potent con- tributor to the stellar performance of the soph team was. without doubt, Bobby Kau of Rainbow fame, who was unanimously chosen the most valuable player of the series and also awarded the utility position on the all-star team. Two of his team-mates, Pershing Lo, high scoring forward, and Mike Hazama, towering guard, also won berths on the all-star team. Harry Kurisaki, frosh center; Bert Nakamura, frosh forward; and Edwin Yee, fast-breaking frosh guard, filled the rest of the positions. SWIMMING The three-day aqua-fest held at the uni versity pool turned out to be one of the most thrilling events of the year. This meet ended in an easy victory for the freshmen, who churned and splashed their way to 79.5 points. Trailing them with 9.5 points were the seniors; while the sophomores and juniors followed wiih 9 and 2 points respectively. Four new records v ere established, every one of them by the frosh. Charles Oda of national fame created a new record for the 90 220-yard freestyle; while tean. mate George Uyeda toppled the 25-yard mark. Walter Watson broke the record for the 25-yard backstroke, and the freshman freestyle relay team composed of Harry Kobayashi, Wat- son, A. Miyasaka. and Uyeda clipped the old record for the 100-yard relay by six- tenth seconds TENNIS The all-campus open tennis tournament proved to be the main dish on the sports menu. Almost every match played con- tained in it some element of real tennis sportsmanship. Nobuyuki Nakasone, de- fender, and Robert Chuck, ace contender, lived up to predictions by qualifying for the final play-off. Challenger Chuck emerged victorious after winning three straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-1. The steady playing of the former champ proved to be ineffective in stopping the rugged slamming of the more aggressive sophomore lad. Other entrants included James Young, John Ohtani, lames Hamilton, and Ray Lum, all topnotch netsters. The 1942 all-campus novice tennis tourna- ment got under v ay in November with 22 enthusiastic male entrants and a single fe male contestant. After some interesting and thrilling matches, James Young and John Ohtani finally emerged victorious over all the others and were matched for the final play-off. After five sels had been played, Ohtani, the underdog, was proclaimed win- ner. The final score was 4-6, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2, 6-2.

VOLLEYBALL The volleyball tournament proved to be a short and snappy affair with only one round of play for each team The first game was played between the sophomores and seniors with the second-year men emerging victori- ous after three long sets. The sophs con tinued their winning spree and finished the season undefeated, which won for them the crown for this sport. The sophs encountered their heaviest opposition when they were pitted against the surprisingly resistant jun- iors. who made the sophs work for their victory. The pre-season favorites, the frosh, were set in the cellar position after losing all of their encounters. Outstanding per- formers for the sophs were Pershing Lo and Bob Chuck, powerful slammers. Charles Kagawa and Henry Yokoyama also dis played some ability in feeding the slammers S. Sato and Andrev Ikezawa were the stand outs for the juniors.

Basketball WITH the announcement by Bert Chan Wa. physical director, that the Uni versity would enier a team in the Junior Basketball League, a host of eager cage sters turned out at the first call for practice Most of these players had just finished play ing in the intramural league, which evidenc ed some stellar shooting and ball-handling, 'the squad siarted out with some twenty men, but the number was reduced to eleven with the team suffering heavily when Bert Nakamura, sharpshooiing frosh forward, Ralph Goya, another frosh star, and Sam Sasai, our manager, left us to join the AJA combat unit. Gordon Liu took over the reins of man- agership when Sam Sasai left and did a commendable job in keep.ng the team in- formed and in trim. The first encounter saw the team in rare form with Bert Nakamura, Chuck and Ohtani leading the team, which uncorked a fast- breaking offense against the Sheridan AC's. At the end of the first half, the score stood at 21-17, but unsatisfied with a four-point lead, the collegians roared back in the sec- ond half and continued to out-shoot and out- maneuver the opponents until the final whistle blew, at which time the score stood at 57-36. Every member of the team saw action and scored at least one point. Fresh from their original victory, the Uni- versity cagers again went on a rampage to slaughter the Kaipo Brats 75-29. Despite a slow start, the fast breaking ofiense began clicking as the team started rolling on a scor- ing spree with Chuck, Ota, and Yee, scoring 18, 12. and 10 points respectively, leading the attack. The substitutes were again used freely, and they did a splendid joo of piling up scores. The third game proved to be a disastrous one for the university cagesters as the Sham rocks, a civilian defense worker unit, out- played the collegians in the second half to overcome a 12-point lead, winning by the score 45-40. The final game of the season for the baby Rainbows was lost to the lads from Kalihi, 34-29. This loss kept us from the round- robin series, and was indeed a heartbreaker. Although the team started rolling slowly, they diminished the lead which the Kalihi Pharmacists held as the game progressed and by half-time were on even terms with them Our boys continued to increase the lead as the second half started but when the final minutes of the game came around, the drugstore boys started a spree about which our boys could do very little. Consequently, the game was lost in the last few minutes of the game Bob Chuck was the outstanding performer of the day, scoring 20 of our 29 points.

Top-notch stars such as Chin Do Kim, Mel Abreu, Louis Collins, Unkei Uchima, and Spencer Kamakana formed the all-important nucleus of the team. Nolle Smith and John Naumu also joined the team later after securing permission to play from the army authority. Experiencing an almost perfect season, the Rainbows gave a good account of them- selves when they went through the season with seven victories against a single defeat. This lone defeat was received at the hands of the Healanis in their last encounter of the year. Despite this defeat, however, the fact remains that the Rainbows were the out- standing team of the league and rightly de served the tilt title, the 1943 Honolulu Senior Football League Champions.

A crowd numbering well over 15,000 saw a Rainbow band and football team perform with old-time precision and color as parading, pageantry, and thrilling football combined to make Hawaii's third annual Pineapple Bowl classic an outstand- ing event. In the same tradition of previous bowl games sponsored by the ASUH. a Pineapple Queen was crowned and a marching band performed stunts on the field. Ever present, however, were the effects that wartime con- ditions have played in this year's game. The USO's Flying Squadron was delegat- ed the honor of electing the Queen and her attendants At a Yuletide Frolic for service- men, Harriet Shepardson, Roosevelt High school senior, was elected Her ladies-in- waiting were chosen to represent the various wartime occupations. Making up the queen's court were Grace Fern, Winifred Money, Har- riet Peterson. Sophie Fransen, Robelle Rob- inson, and Athalie Keough. Keynote of the program was the entry of the queen and her court in three army jeeps. Queen Harriet was crowned and introduced to the spectators by President Sinclair. The ASUH spirit and rally committee, headed by Takashi Noda, decorated the stadium and appropriately set up a ti-leaf covered throne for Queen Harriet. Against this background the Rainbow school spirit was fully evident as the grim aspects of war were momentarily swept av ay in the color- lul events of the afternoon. To top all this, the Rainbow football ma- chine dauntlessly marched on to victory, swamping the Na Aliis, 13-0. THE PINEAPPLE QUEEN AND HER COURT—Left to right Gro:o Tor '..

Varsity Victory Volunteers WITH Tommy Kaulukukui, former Uni- versity coach, and Ralph Yempuku, intramural czar, at the helm and scores of eager participants in its membership, the Varsity Victory Volunteer athletic teams pro- vided a program which was both varied and well participated. Modeled after our ov n ASUH intramural program, the Triple V's most popular after- working-hour recreation aimed at all-out participation and got it. At the half-year celebration of the organization, the Varsity Hall Tigers were awarded the team cham- pionship. Individual awards were won by Hiroichi Tomita, Stanley Wannabe, and Seicho Ono. Coached by Lt. Tommy Kaulukukui, the two football teams enjoyed an enviable sea- son. The 135-pounds team went through the season with four victories against three de- feats, while the 150 pound team finished a five-game season without a single defeat, leaving among its wake Roosevelt and Far- rington high schools of the local Interscholas- tic League. The VVV had a colorful basketball team that thrilled soldier-fans at the post gym with its fast play At the time of its disbandment the Volunteers had won five games and lost three. Proudest of all, perhaps, were the achieve- ments of the volunteers in the ring. From an inexperienced group led by Richard Chinen, former territorial AAU boxing champ, the VVV uncovered hidden talent in their own Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament, and cli maxed the year-round sport by v inn ng three championships and three runner-up berths in the Schofield boxing tournament. The champs were Wallace Nagao, Ank: Ho shijo, and Richard Kato, while Joseph Matsu- naga, Teruo Hiromoto, and Kats Taosaka filled the runner-up berths. And, of course, the opponents of the Rain bows in the senior league felt heavily the presence of Unkei Uchima, Wallace Doi, lyun Hirota, and Jimmie Nishimura, as well as the master mind.

A THE Women's Athletic Association brought a highly successful year oi women's sports to a close with its annual banquet at Hemenway Hall laie in May. Mistress of ceremonies was the WAA president. Bar- bara Bown, with the assistance of her offic- ers, Betty Janssen, vice-president. May Siu, secretary; Michiko Uno, eligibility chairman; and Mrs. La Verne Bennett, adviser. Nine women were awarded green and white mhenille letters for receiving 50 points or more in sports. They were Elsie Awai, Emiko Kodama, Dorothy Wee. Michiko Uno, Roseline Medeiros. Phyllis Tam, Charlotte Chun, and Hester Kong. Accumulating a total of 15 points, the fresh- man team captured first place for the year. The sophomore team with 11 points came in second, followed by the juniors with 7 points. The seniors were last with 4 points During the fall the sophomores and fresh- men tied for first place in the WAA volley- ball interclass competition after a hard-fought Counter-clockwise: Barbara Bown, Betty Janssen. May Siu. Michiko Uno. Mrs La Verne M Bennett. J Women athletes awaiting their turn in the court caid thrilling final game. Earning the name of most valuable and outstanding player, Yoshika Torigoe, sophomore, led her team to many victories. No less outstanding were Nyna Hainic, Mildred Iwanaka, Michiko Uno, and Lai Seu Choy, who were individual mainstays of their respective teams. Kikuye Sasaki was the manager for this event with Mrs. Bennett assisting in refereeing and scor- ing. A unique and new feature of the WAA was the Childhood Games Day. Digging up jacks, ropes, and safety pins, the women on the campus participated in a grand day of fun and competition in playing jacks, jumping rope, and jumping hopscotch. Many of the participants showed amazing versatility on this day of recapturing childhood memories, by performing wonders with their hands and feet Capturing top honors were Kikuye Sa- saki. jacks; Zoe Beveridge, jump rope, and Yuri Takesue, May Siu, Mutsumi Takamura, and Yaeko Okahata, hopscotch. Managing the whole juvenile affair was Marjorie Mack- lin, with Leonilda Kekuewa, Pat Miller, funia Kupihea. Carol Zane, and Jane Chun as as- sistants. In December, the WAA bowling tourna- ment was held at the Pla-Mor alleys, at which time Lotus Kau made the highest score and Roseline Medeiros followed closely for second place. Later in May. a mixed bowl- ing tournament was held under the cc-man- agership of Una May Zane and lohn Men- donca, Jr. Men and women were paired to- gether to form seven couples. Laura Ye- moto and Clarence Fong led all other couples with the highest scores; while Kumiko Usu- gawa and Ray Warnisher, USN, came in sec- ond place Individual highest scorers were Lotus Kau for the women and Ray Warnisher for the men. . . . Simultaneously with the other sport of the fall, the WAA shooting classes under the able leadership of Una May Zane began The girls v ere taught how to handle and shoot a .22 caliber pistol by Officer Russell Smith of the Honolulu Po- lice Department, who gave instructions at the police shooting range at Ala Moana. Una May Zane, winner of last year's shooting matches, again proved that she was the in Bathing beauties take a sun bath champion shot on the campus. At the com- petitive matches held in January, four med- als were donated by the police department. Una May Zane won the gold medal with a score of 190 out of a possible 200 points in the Class A division. Second place in this division was won by Beatrice Chong In the Class B grouping, Junia Kupihea placed first while Elsie Awai came in second place. Another big event of the WAA was the tennis tournament held in April under the leadership of Rosemary Tongg. After one week of hot competition, Rosemary Tongg beat her opponent Rose Takesue in the finals to become the women's tennis champ. In May. the sophomore basketball team, captained by Lorraine Tanaka, won top place honors. The junior team, led by Mar garet Takaki, was in close second. Maude Nishikawa s freshman team took third place. and the seniors landed the cellar position. In badminton, Dorothy Wee became the champ for the second consecutive year. Hester Kong, manager for this event, was the runner-up. Taking three months to finish, the ping- pong tourney, headed by Leoni Ida Kekuewa, came to an end in May. Chung Sook Kim and Rosemary Tongg were the finalists with Rosemary emerging triumphant. All of the matches v ere held in Hemenway Hall. The WAA swimming team placed second in minor Western State Division of the Inter- Collegiate Telegraphic Meet which was held in February. Hilda Matsumoto was consid- ered the outstanding swimmer. She partici pated in all of the events and placed first in the 40 yard back crawl. Her time was 34.5 seconds. This meet was handled by Rose- line Medeiros and Mrs. La Verne Bennett. 112 The freshman class walked off with the highest score in the archery tournament held in May. Louise Adams with a score of 249 points was the highest scorer in this tourney. Florence Arakawa came in second v ith 241 points. The touch football tournament with Lei Folk as chairman had a large, enthusiastic turnout, but because of second semester changes and Lei Folk's leaving, it had to be dropped. Realizing the need for sports in their cur- riculum besides academic studies, many wo- men students participated in events on their own spare time. The WAA recognized this need too and assisted by offering a wide range of events to suit all tastes All of the managers, captains, and advisers for the various sports are to be commended for their splendid work and cooperation that made possible a successful year for the WAA.

TO ENCOURAGE Victory gardening and home gardening, the University Agricultural Club un- dertook the Seedling Project as its major enterprise and distributed hundreds of seedlings. The ' Aggie Club, as it is fondly known, is com- posed of students carrying six or more credits in agriculture. The purposes of the club are to create a closer relationship between agricultural instructors and agriculture students, to foster fellowship among students in agriculture, and to cooperate with and assist the ASUH in all its functions. The members took time out ‘ from their daily tasks of milking Prilly Matadors and watering gardens to enjoy a picnic with the pre-nursing students. They also challenged the Agricultural Experiment Station personnel to many games. Activities were temporarily dropped the latter part of the year, because many of its members joined the ranks of the army. 118 How dce3 your garden grow? Row 1 (1. to r.)—John Rivera.

This gave the club members an opportunity to develop many friendships A gilt of the Atherton family to the YMCA as a memorial to Charles Henry Atherton, v ho was a prominent Christian leader, this boys' dormitory on the campus offers an environment wherein fellow- ship and cooperation are fostered. Its members worked part time in emergency medical units as litter bearers and ambulance drivers. Thus first aid knowledge became part of their trained equipment. For relaxation, they sponsored several informal discussions on college men's life and activities on the campus. With the enthusiastic cooperation of the two sorority houses of the campus, Hale Aloha and Hale Laulima, a number of dances were held in honor of the army men in their blackout hall. 119 YMC A President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser OFFICERS .............John Ohtani .............James Inaki Daniel Inouye ...............Harry Ishida Hung Wai Ching Row 1 (1. :o r.)—Jiro Sato.

Moore was a great contribution of the Young Men s Christian Association to students as a guide- post in discovering a wholesome way of life. To achieve their aim ol giving University students an opportunity to supplement their college education with some sort of religious life, members of the YMCA this year conducted study and discussion groups, participated in the World Student Service Fund drive, and held weekly campus worship services at Atherton House. They also helped their sister or- ganization. the YWCA, with its numerous and varied activities. They participated in the religious pro- grams of the community by working in close har- mony with many churches. Not forgetting recreation, the members partici- pated in school sports and sponsored several after- noon and evening dances 120 A picnic with their sisters 1 1 I Row 1 (]. to r.)—Hiromi Miyake.

To set the pace, every member obtained for himself a part-time job. This enterprise proved to be very valuable to the USED. and other vital war construction companies The club was disbanded at the outbreak of the war. but was reorganized in September with a big membership campaign, and its former importance on the campus was regained The aims of this organiza- tion are to promote fellowship among students, to orient underclassmen, and to create interest in en- gineering. This year, these aims were realized through guest speakers, movies, and group discus- sions at the monthly meetings. Social life unneglected, one of the most important activities for this year was a picnic at Hanauma Bay. 121 I Row 1 (1. so r.) — Nora Saida, Mabel Awai, Elsie Awai. Row 2 — Geraldine Tom.

The club's purpose of helping others was further carried out through talks and dis- cussions on pressing religious problems. Open to all students who are member of the Epis- copal Church and to those who are interested n Episcopalian teachings, the organization kept close touch with the Bishop and churches of the city. The club started the year with an initiation dinner in September. A house party at the Bishop s home, Holy Communions, and breakfast meetings all served to enhance friendship and understanding among the members. Their social activities were climaxed by a luncheon given in honor of the retiring Bishop and Mrs. S H. Littel as a tribute to their kind advice and help. 122 A hen session or. religion?

Through their club, they maintained self-govern- ment. Duties of black-out warden and hostess v ere assumed alternately by every member. Several changes were made this year. Mrs. L. Bukeley re- placed Miss Lucille Hodgins as house mother. New furniture was bought to brighten the lanai; the lounge was refurnished in a Hawaiian motif; a library was started; and the kitchenette was equipped so that the women could prepare their own Sunday dinners. Highlights in the field of socials were a Christ- mas dance held at Hemenway Hall for the army men and a farewell party for the AJA volunteers 123 Hale Laulima . . .

Busy as they were, these coeds did not forget that Hale Laulima. the House of Willing Workers, stands to promote cooperation, friendship, high ideals, and healthful living for those under its roof. This year, the members added to their chore of housecleaning and cooking, the task of cultivating in their back yard a Victory Garden, which was the source of the fresh vegetables on their dinner table. Socially, they were quite prominent The New Year s formal made a hit with the members of the VVV, Atherton House, and the Students' House.

Through a comparison of cost and food values, they learned how to make wise purchases of staple food, particu- larly cereals and canned goods. Care of clothing was also taken up. Towards its end of producing good hone makers, the club undertook several activities, which induct cd knitting socks and sweaters for the Red Cross, keeping a scrapbook, and decorating the interior of the home ec building. The traditional fruit cake sales were replaced with equally successful cookie sales, as necessary ingredients for fruit cakes were not ava lable.

Eta Lambda Kappa was founded in 1929 with the purpose of promoting interest in medicine among stu- dents preparing to enter this profession. This year, members conducted a survey of standards and re- quirements of all American medical schools to make these data available to students planning to matricu- late on the mainland. During Pre-Medical Week in February, the members went on field trips to various hospitals in the community. These visits were in- valuable in acquainting the potential doctors with actual hospital work Monthly meetings, interesting and informative, also met with a hearty response Along the social line, were an initiation picnic held at the YWCA Beach Club and a social at Atherton House, featuring Dr. C.

The timely talks by Miss Elflida Sprague of the Board of Health and Mrs. Olive Nor ih wood, honorary member on Public Health Nursing, and The Relationship of the Hospital and the University, respectively, gave the club a clearer picture of its responsibilities to the entire community.

An undertaking new and unique, this program intro- duced social case work to the University of Hawaii campus, and many students were able to profit by it. The club was organized in February 1943 by the fifth year students to promote a better understand- ing of the field of social work. Its functions of inter- preting social work and recruiting students for pro- fessional training were carried out through round- table discussions and panel discussions to which undergraduates were invited. A chop sui dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Tyson, with Mr. and Mrs. Melville Hosch as guests, served as a celebration for the formation of the club. The monthly luncheon meetings provided much en joyment to the student social workers. 129 Chemistry Club . ..

Open only to chemistry majors of junior standing or students who have completed courses in qualita- tive analysis and organic chemistry, this organization serves as a medium through which students are in- troduced to the chemical industries of Hawaii, and contact between graduates and students preserved. The club, always on the alert to stimulate among its members an interest in science by showing its application to everyday life and to the ever-chang- ing, advancing world, invited guest speakers to their meetings. Outstanding among them were Dr Charles J Engard, Assistant Professor of Botany, who spoke on The Mechanism of Photosynthesis, and Dr. John H.

Hanson WITH the heartfelt backing of President Gregg M. Sinclair and the ASUH, the Young Women’s Christian Association raised $1,500—$500 over the set goal—in their World Student Service Fund drive. This undertaking was in harmony with the club's objective of promoting fellowship; for the WSSF pro- vides assistance to students and professors in the war-tom countries. To meet special problems which confront college students, the YWCA sponsored an all-day Thanks- giving conference, centering the discussion on the various needs of women students here, their relation- ship to men students, servicemen, and the VVV’s. In keeping with the times, programs such as Informa- tion Please and talent parade were sources of en- tertainment for the membership Round-table discussions, community sings, and worship services enhanced the YWCA's reputation as one of the most resourceful clubs on the campus. 131 � m VARSITY VICTORY VOLUNTEERS JANUARY 25 ol this year marked the iirst J anniversary of the Varsity Victory Volun- teers which started out as a group of 132 young Americans of Japanese ancestry, who abandoned their classes and books to serve their country in labor battalions. By January 25, 1943, their number had grown to 162. Known as the VVV's or the Triple V's, these young men offered their ser vices to Uncle Sam's war effort to prove that their loyalty belongs to the Stars and Stripes. Personnel included young men from all over the territory — University students and graduates, high school graduates, engineers, teachers the VVV was truly a heterogene- ous group with a homogeneous purpose. The VVV had a well planned after work program with athletics as the chief form of recreation. Members of the organization kept trim for work by taking in sports and worked to keep in tip-top shape for ath- letics. On the literary side, they issued a two-page, mimeographed, weekly news paper. Besides this piece of journalism, they had a page or two in the Bugler, the regi- mental monthly magazine, and a column in Ka Leo. Ten magazines of all types and variety, gave the members ample reading material. Several good orators and debaters were also available, as was discovered in the annual oratorical contest. For those who desired to study, regular University credit courses in literature, mathematics, and physical education were conducted in the camp A few of the members attended the University as part-time students. Monthly dances held at Hemenway Hall often featured the Glee Club, and were very popular. Nothing, however, could surpass the an- niversary celebrations which were the result of much planning and organizing. A luau held in the amphitheater was a memorable occasion, but tops in VVV entertainment was the combination anniversary and aloha ban quet. The disbanding of the VVV and the accompanying ceremony will long remain cherished memories Captain Lum and his efficient office stoff Work while you work1 t I � • ► 1 t ‘ Shop No. 3 at the D.
