The class of ’55, having completed their first year in college, should he proud of the record they have achieved. With great enthus- iasm they plunged ahead taking part in student body activities as well as their own. Elections for class officers caused much excitement when over a hundred candidates were nominated for the various offices. The cam- paigning was hot and when the smoke cleared the victors were Allan Marutani, president; Alma Ishida, vice-president; Lila Ann Sucoka, secretary; and Thomas Shimabukuro, treasurer. Advising this group in the planning of their various activities was Dr. John N. Stalker. Freshmen representatives to the ASUH council were Etta .Marsh- man, Gordon Soh. and Allen Kajioka. The presence of other fresh- men was also felt in student-faculty committees. A Spirit and Rally committee composed of freshmen successfully sponsored rallies for the Portland and San Jose basketball games. Capturing the crown at the Pineapple Bowl was Queen Anne Martin. Her entire court was also composed of members of the fresh- man class. Outstanding in the field of sports were Edmund Ahlo, Evelyn Kawamoto, Walter Taguma, Richard Takasc and Waldron Chung. Other activities included a picnic to celebrate the end of the i: t semester, a camp during the second semester, and a prom at the end of the year. M ALLAN MARUTANI Prosidont
