ALUMNI WEEK 2000

Aloha käkou,

As you have followed the changes at Kamehameha Schools over recent months, you areaware that among our most urgent needs has been completion of the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) based management structure.

It is my pleasure to announce that with the July appointment of Eric Yeaman as ChiefFinancial Officer (CFO), that task is completed.

Eric Yeaman had held the post of director of KS’ Internal Audit Office since February ofthis year. He brings to the office of CFO broad financial experience, an intimate knowledge of Kamehameha Schools’ financial structure, and a desire to maximize Kamehameha’sresources to further our commitment to educational programs and services for Hawaiians.(See story on page 10.)

Throughout our year-long strategic planning process, you, our stakeholders, haverepeatedly urged Kamehameha Schools to expand educational opportunities for Hawaiianchildren, especially those living on our Neighbor Islands.

In direct response to our stakeholders’ straightforward feedback, Kamehameha Schoolshas determined that our Maui Campus will expand to include a high school component.Eighty additional acres of campus land have been purchased in Pukalani to support thisgrowth. The Maui campus curriculum will also expand from the current plan – kindergartento grade 8 – to include grades 9 through 12.

The decision to expand the Maui Campus, coupled with the groundbreaking at KS’ new300-acre East Hawai‘i K-12 Campus at Kea‘au, are among Kamehameha’s initial responses tothe input of literally hundreds of stakeholders during our strategic planning process.

Also during our strategic planning process, so many of you told us that the time hascome to give back to the Legacy of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi. To this end, I am pleased to announce thecreation of an Alumni Development Department that will develop and coordinate alumnigiving to Kamehameha.

Exemplified by the generous contribution to Kamehameha Schools from former studentMervin Thompson Jr. – on behalf of his father and mother, Mervin Sr. and Matilda VidaThompson, who also attended Kamehameha – alumni giving will further enable us tomaximize our resources in the education of young Hawaiians.

Through Mervin Thompson Jr.’s gift and gifts like his, Pauahi’s Legacy will grow andthrive in the teaching and training of yet another generation of good and industrious men and women.

I Mua Kamehameha!

Groundbreaking at KS East Hawai‘iCampus.

Aloha KS ÿohana,

Major construction is underway at Kamehameha! Indeed, there are a number of signif-icant improvements at various campuses.

First is the construction of the permanent East Hawaiÿi campus. Planned for a K-12day program, the East Hawaiÿi campus will greatly enhance Kamehameha’s ability toextend educational services to more Hawaiian children and youth in the years to come.

Small in comparison to the construction of the East Hawaiÿi campus, but big inchanging the landscape on the Kapälama campus, is the new athletic facility. By fall 2001,the huge mound of red dirt towering above Bishop Drive mauka of the elementarycampus will be carved into a regulation size track and football/soccer field.

The Kapälama kindergarten playground is also undergoing a face-lift. The site isbeing leveled and rock walls will prevent erosion of soil from a newly landscaped hillside.Multi-purpose play equipment incorporating slides, tunnels, bridges, monkey bars andother climbing apparatus will be installed on a special foundation with rubberizedpadding to prevent injuries. The spreading monkeypod tree and open grassy areas forrunning and playing games will remain.

Many other physical plant improvements are on-going statewide. Collectively, theycontribute to positive living and learning environments for our students.

Me ke aloha pumehana,

Michael J. Chun, Ph.D.President

At Kea‘au, a historic blessing and groundbreaking ceremonywas about to begin and a very special dream would

transcend imagination to become reality. This day, June 2, 2000,would mark the very first day of that reality.

Faculty, staff, trustees, chief executives and invited guestsplied their way into a clearing in the tall grass at Keaÿau. Soon thevoices and laughter of 300-plus children punctuated the morning’sstillness. Theirs was a joyful noise; a noise that will grow in yearsto come as Kamehameha Schools East Hawaiÿi Campus – with itsprospective 2000-strong student body – realizes KamehamehaSchools’ on-going commitment to extend the reach of Ke AliÿiPauahi’s legacy to serve ever more Hawaiians.

Oli, offered by KS East Hawaiÿi Interim Campus culturalteacher Moses Crabbe ’77 and Ulu Kanakaÿole Garmon of theEdith Kanakaÿole Foundation, sought and offered welcome toKamehameha Schools in the community.

Student representatives presented their grade level’s chosennative plant and explained the importance of each to Hawaiianculture. Native flora selected by the students will later be planted

Once owned by Ka Moÿ ı William Charles Lunalilo, W.H.Shipman acquired the 300-acre site, located seven miles south of Hilo along Volcano Highway, at public auction in 1881. InNovember 1999, Kamehameha Schools entered into a purchaseagreement with W.H. Shipman Ltd., to acquire the parcel.

“The Keaÿau site is well-suited for our campus,” said Dr.Chun, “and it is ideal for an expanded educational program thatcan include curricula which takes advantage of Hawaiÿi Island’sunique cultural and natural resources.”

Kamehameha Schools East Hawaiÿi Campus at Keaÿau will bebuilt in phases.Phase I construction – currently underway – will encompassapproximately 15 acres. On site, this phase includes two classroombuildings, a mechanical and electrical plant structure and an entryguard house. One 22,000 square-foot classroom building will con-tain six standard classrooms, two specialty science rooms, ateacher planning center and multi-purpose spaces.

The second 18,000 square-foot specialty classroom buildingwill feature an art and ceramics lab, a teen health center, facilitiesfor Hawaiian cultural and language studies, an industrial arts

drafting lab, a computer lab, a teacher planning center andsupport spaces.

Additionally, Phase I will include construction of an athleticfield, a campus roadway and a 63-stall parking lot.

Concurrent to on-site Phase I construction will be two off-siteprojects: highway intersection improvements at the entry to thecampus and installation of a new waterline upgrade on VolcanoHighway to service the campus.

“Completion of Phase I construction is scheduled for August 2001,” says KS Facilities & Construction Engineer WalterThoemmes III ‘84, “but this campus will progress on a continuousbuild-out cycle for the next five-plus years.

“Phase II – which will comprise nine new buildings – is indesign now and will go to bid by the end of this year,” Thoemmescontinued. “Construction should begin about January 2001 and beready for K-12 occupancy by fall 2002.”

“Rather than growing agricultural products, this land willnow be raising good and industrious men and women for thebetterment of the State of Hawaiÿi,” said Trustee Kihune.

As part of Kamehameha Schools’ new governance structure, oversight of day-

to-day activities has been transferred to an Executive Management Team (EMT)

whose members were, in large part, introduced in earlier issues of I Mua. In this

issue, we are pleased to introduce you to the two newest members of that team.

COLLEEN I. WONGCHIEF LEGAL OFFICER

Colleen Iwalani Wong entered Kamehameha Schools in the second grade.By the time she graduated, in the top two percent of the Class of 1975, she’ddecided on a law career. In fact, at a time when women constituted adistinct minority in the law profession, her avocation was already fixed.

“In the sixth grade we had a social studies teacher named John White,”says Wong. “He’s still here, as a media specialist with the Student ProductionCenter. He had a television set brought into class and showed us Judd for theDefense. From there we staged mock trials and I thought it was kind of fun.That was probably my very first exposure to law and it planted the seeds.”

Wong remained interested in law and her extra curricular schoolactivities – including the debate team and reporting for the schoolnewspaper – reflected that interest.

After her Kamehameha graduation, Wong entered Pomona College in Claremont, Calif. where, in 1979, she earned a bachelor’s degree ineconomics.

“I was always interested in the business and tax side of the law,” shesays, “and that’s why I entered the University of Santa Clara School of Lawand School of Business. They have a program where you can earn your lawdegree and a master’s degree in business administration at the same time.”

Returning to Hawai‘i, Wong passed the State Bar and soon began herpractice as an associate with a downtown Honolulu firm. Then, four yearslater, “I saw an ad in the paper for Kamehameha,” says Wong. “I applied,but I never thought I would be selected. I remember when I was finishinglaw school, I thought it would be wonderful to get a job at KamehamehaSchools. This was always my dream job.”

Wong joined Kamehameha’s legal staff in 1986. “Back then it wasNathan Aipa and I, just the two of us, and we serviced everyone that camethrough the door; helped all staff members at Kamehameha Schools thatneeded legal advice. I worked with the education side and the endowmentside and I was able to get to know virtually every department at thisinstitution,” she says.

As Kamehameha grew, so did demands on its legal staff and Wong,who rose in the ranks. Prior to her recent appointments, she was seniorcounsel for KS’ Corporate/Investment division. But, as she soon learned,even that responsibility could not compare with the workload she assumedthis past year.

“ This was always

my dream job.”

In May 1999, Wong was appointed acting General Counsel. “Then,when Hamilton McCubbin was appointed Chief Executive Officer this past February,” she says, “he asked me to join the Executive ManagementTeam (EMT).

“I feel very honored and privileged to have been selected. The EMTrepresents a real departure from the governance we have known – and notjust from the most recent trustees – but for a long while. If you look at thehistory of this institution, decision making has been top down. I thinkHamilton is used to a more collaborative approach and that’s what he hasimplemented in the EMT.

“The EMT meets every week,” Wong continues, “and we report onsignificant events within each of our groups. So we’re all up-to-date onwhat everybody is doing. We also advise and counsel Hamilton on the day-to-day operations of the institution, following policies set by the board. Heis very much a visionary and very team oriented, so the feedback is constantand that really helps the flow of communication and in accomplishing thegoals that the Trustees are setting for Kamehameha Schools.”

Reflecting on the transitions taking place in an evolving workplace,Wong says, “The last 15 months have seen more changes at Kamehamehathan in the last 100 years. And, change – even positive – can be painful. Yet,I see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’re almost there. I sense a rebirthwith the new board and the new CEO.”

Amid this rapid change, Kamehameha Schools’ first Chief LegalOfficer sees challenges ahead. “I think after going through what we wentthrough over the past three years, ” she says, “my biggest on-going chal-lenge will be to make sure that the abuses and conflicts of interest that happened in the past never occur again. It’s oversight. It’s compliance. It’schecks and balances.”

Among anticipated changes in KS’ legal group, she says, “We’ll likelyrely more and more on in-house staff rather than looking outside to retaincounsel. That way, staff accessibility will be easier. We’ll be able to provideservice to staff in a timely manner and that will help keep costs down. I’mvery much trying to keep my eye on the bottom line.”

But, it’s not all business with Colleen Wong. Her demanding careeralso presents personal challenges. “Probably my biggest personal challengeright now,” she says, “is trying to balance work with time for my family.I’m a working mom and I want to spend a lot of quality time with my twoboys and my husband. Working late hours and weekends takes its toll. But,I try to spend good quality time together with my family so I don’t missout on anything with them.”

ERIC YEAMANCHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

With the July selection of Eric Yeaman as Chief Financial Officer,Kamehameha Schools’ transition to a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) basedmanagement structure is complete.

Yeaman, a certified public accountant, comes to Kamehameha fromArthur Andersen LLP, where he was a senior manager in the Audit andBusiness Advisory Services unit and served on a contract basis as theDirector of the Internal Audit Office at Kamehameha Schools.

As CFO, Yeaman will be responsible for establishing and administer-ing financial policies, practices and internal controls, as well as managingall aspects of budgeting, forecasting and financial planning. Financialaccounting and reporting also fall under the purview of the CFO, with akey requirement being that complete and communicative financial state-ments be efficiently disseminated to Trustees, the CEO, stakeholders and allregulatory entities as appropriate.

“His extensive knowledge of Kamehameha’s financial and accountingsystem, gained through his experience as the Internal Auditor, his provenintegrity and reputation as a leader and financial officer make him a perfectfit for our plans for the future of Kamehameha,” said CEO Hamilton I. McCubbin.

“In my work as director of Internal Audit, I had the opportunity towork with the Executive Management Team, as well as management andstaff throughout the organization, in identifying and understanding thecritical risks and issues that needed to be addressed – includingKamehameha’s financial and investment reporting requirements,” Yeamansaid. “The director and Chief Financial Officer opportunities both presentedexciting challenges for me, but the key to my decision was really the mis-sion of Kamehameha Schools – to educate children of Hawaiian ancestry.

“After being involved for two-and-a-half years as a consultant, I grewto appreciate everything about this place – its mission, and the quality anddedication of Kamehameha’s staff.

“The purpose of this institution is so great, and the need forKamehameha is so great, that I almost get emotional when I talk about it.”

With Arthur Andersen LLP since 1989, Yeaman’s experience thereincluded extensive work in managing financial, management and internalaudits and consulting engagements in public, private, governmental andnot-for-profit organizations.

Yeaman is a member of the Hawaiÿi Society of Certified PublicAccountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He and his wife Melanie have two children, Lauren, 3, and Jake, 10 months.

Yeaman, who is one quarter Hawaiian, was born and raised in Kona.He is a graduate of Konawaena High School and the University of Hawaiÿi,where he graduated with distinction, earning a bachelor’s of businessadministration in accounting.

“It’s an exciting time to come aboard,” Yeaman said. “It’s a time of sig-nificance in the history of Kamehameha and a time of great change. I knowthere are lots of challenges ahead, but I’m exited about the opportunity tocontribute to the success of this organization in meeting those challenges.”

Feather kahili made by the Kekuewa family adornKS’ Bernice Pauahi BishopMemorial Chapel.

It’s been called the most spectacular and distinctive art of the ancientHawaiians.

Although a traditional part of many Polynesian cultures, Hawaiians are credited with taking the art of featherworking to the highest levels.Their fabrication of a variety of items such as feathered cloaks and capes(ÿahu ÿula), feathered helmets (mahiole), feathered images (akua hulumanu), feathered standards (kähili) and feathered ornaments for the headand neck (lei) were among the most intricate and complex designs ever seen.

Most of these objects, and the process of making them, wereconsidered sacred.

Today, there are very few practitioners of this peerless Hawaiian art. But, thanks to the dedicated efforts of master artists such as Mary

Lou Kekuewa and her daughter, Paulette Kekuewa Kahalepuna ’63, thisunique part of Hawaiian culture has not been allowed to die.

In fact, Kahalepuna was recently honored by the Historic HawaiÿiFoundation for her work in helping to preserve and teach the “ancientsacred art of featherworking.”

“As a student at Kamehameha in 1962, I asked my mom to teach methis featherwork because I needed to do some extra-credit work. That’swhen mom taught me, but she’s been doing featherwork since 1956,”Kahalepuna said.

Kahalepuna’s mother is not just any ordinary teacher. Mary LouKekuewa is considered one of the most important and highly regardedfeatherworking artists of our time.

And she has taught her daughter well.During her nearly 40 years of working with her mom, Kahalepuna has

represented their art in conferences, museums and galleries in Europe, NewZealand, the Cook Islands, Western Samoa, Japan and on all the majorHawaiian Islands. She has demonstrated her expertise at such prestigiousmuseums as the Peabody Museum at Harvard University and the Museumfur Volke Kende in Vienna. Paulette displays her family’s singular art.

Birds of aFeatherFollowing in the footsteps of her mother, master artist Mary Lou Kekuewa, Paulette Kekuewa Kahalepuna ’63is honored by the Historic Hawai‘i Foundation for helping to preserve the uniquely Hawaiian art of featherworking

P A U L E T T E K E K U E W A K A H A L E P U N A ‘ 6 3

She served for 12 years as a cultural resourcefor the Bishop Museum, and has provided educa-tional and cultural support to the University ofHawai‘i, Leeward Community College,Windward Community College, Punahou and‘Iolani high schools and Kamehameha Schools.

This summer, Kahalepuna will be teachingfeatherworking skills in Washington, D.C.October will find her in Los Angeles and thefollowing month she will travel to Florida.

Although she has toured the world topromote her art and help keep Hawaiian culturealive, Kahalepuna said she wasn’t sure theHistoric Hawai‘i Foundation gave its award tothe right person.

“It was very humbling,” Kahalepuna said.“From my viewpoint, I just thought that I wasn’tworthy. Maybe that’s not a good thought, but Icouldn’t help but think ‘Why me?’ when mymom is here. She is the master. I’m out thereteaching it with her blessing. Together with yourmother, you eat, sleep and breath it everyday.

“It was kind of hard to accept until I talkedwith mama and got her manaÿo back on it. Shewas very proud that I’m being recognized forwhat I’m doing. And that she can in fact knowthat the art is going to live.

“It’s very, very important to keep our culturealive. Most people say this featherworking is adying art. We say no, we don’t want it to die. To

me, this is my mom’s legacy and something shehas been unselfish about teaching and I’velearned that from her.

“It’s safe to say that mom and I have taughtat least 1,000 people over the years,” Kahalepunacontinued. “Mom started teaching in 1970 and Istarted in 1974. There’s a lot of people who havecome to learn but who don’t care to teach.There’s just a handful who are teaching.”

The two artists have combined forces tooperate a Honolulu business that caters to thefeatherworking enthusiast. “Na Lima Mili HuluNo’eau,” or the “skilled hands that touch thefeathers,” is a Kapahulu shop that offers feather-working classes, merchandise and supplies –including goose, pheasant, peacock and anyother feathers that are available on the market.

The name was given to the business byEdith Kanaka‘ole.

Kahalepuna said her interest in Hawaiianculture can be traced to her Kamehameha roots.“Dr. Donald Mitchell, a former teacher atKamehameha, was my mentor with respect to theculture and its awareness. Being a student atKamehameha, some of the classes we had backthen were in the back halls of the Bishop Museum.We got to work with Dr. Mitchell and Dr.Kenneth Emory and we didn’t even realize whatvaluable people they were and what they weredoing for us.”

Paulette KekuewaKahalepuna at KS in’63

“Our work is out there, and it’s admired enough that people

keep coming back.”

Mary Lou Kekuewa’s eyes mist when shespeaks about her daughter. “This award wasgiven to her because she is continually trying tofurther her knowledge. I’m so proud of what shedoes. You know, so many parents want their chil-dren to follow in their footsteps and they don’t.She does. And knowing that this art is going tocontinue brings tears to my eyes.”

“To my mother, I pledge my continual sup-port,” Kahalepuna said. “So that she can knowthat this art is not going to die.”

13

“This art is quite unique to Hawaiÿi.”

Kahalepuna, along with her mom and fatherPaul Kekuewa, created the 20 kähili that standtoday in Kamehameha Schools’ Bernice PauahiBishop Memorial Chapel. “Since most of the birdsHawaiians used are now either extinct or protect-ed, we used rooster, feather, peacock, pheasant,and goose feathers.”

Kahalepuna’s work graces many publicbuildings and is displayed in several majorresorts. She is often asked to create special piecesto be given as awards and gifts to business andcommunity leaders.

“Because my mom has done a lot for theState Foundation on the Culture and Arts and I was a lecturer at the University, we’ve beensought after,” Kahalepuna explained. “Our workis out there, and it’s admired enough that peoplekeep coming back.”

Featherworking is something genuinelyidentified with Hawaiÿi, Kahalepuna said. “Thisart is quite unique to Hawai‘i. The men with theircowboy hat with the pheasant lei – you’ll not seethat anyplace else. If you were to wear feather lei on the mainland, anyone passing you who’sbeen to Hawai‘i will watch you and come up andsay, ‘You from Hawaiÿi?’ And people are amazedat the artistry of the Hawaiian people.”

Kahalepuna’s students include her owndaughter, Mele Kahalepuna Wong ’84. “When I goto Kaua‘i, where she lives, she teaches with me,”Paulette said. “My granddaughter Leleae Wong,who’s now 13, has done six leis. Maybe one day,when my daughter is ready, she’ll be able to comeand work with me and keep it going. And then inthe future, there’s my granddaughter.”

“Kamehameha has graduated generations of outstanding singers,” said Fong. “Finally, aftermany, many years, there is a place for thesetalented and able alumni to sharpen their vocalskills and be a part of a choral ensemble that caneasily become one of the finest choirs anywherein the world. On the more casual side, for thosewho play instruments we’re even hoping to dosome kanikapila! And, who knows, maybe evenhula for those so inclined. It’s gonna be a blast!”

KS representatives were in D.C. toshare information about Kamehameha’s strategicplanning initiatives and its commitment to NativeHawaiian grant programs.

While in the nation’s capitol, the team metwith members of the Department of Educationand major legislative players including ourHawai‘i delegation – Sens. Daniel Inouye andDaniel Akaka ’42 and Reps. Patsy Mink and NeilAbercrombie – as well as the likes of education-advocate Sen. Ted Kennedy.

”The Native Hawaiian Education Act was onthe floor of the House while we were there,” saidShar Chun-Lum ’68, Summer ProgramsPrincipal, “and we were able to urge support forNative Hawaiian education grant monies notonly for Kamehameha’s administration but forother Hawaiian agency grants as well.”

Also part of the Kamehameha team were KS Preschools Operations Manager LindaCunningham, Safe and Drug Free Program’sTerry Kelly, Lu Ann Fujimoto of the Grants Office,and Edwin Ing, KS consulting attorney inWashington.

Tamarind Park/Bishop Square, at the corner ofKing and Bishop Streets in Downtown Honolulu,was once the home of a glorious tamarind treethat bore special meaning to the life of Ke Ali‘iBernice Pauahi Bishop.

Buried beneath it’s sprawling root systemlay Ke Ali‘i Pauahi’s ‘iewe, or afterbirth. “This tree was special to Pauahi,” says KS HawaiianStudies Institute Acting Director Kaipo Hale ’68,“because she would read and sometimes teachunder its branches.”

Cut down to make way for the BishopSquare development, the ‘omuku, or stump of thetamarind tree, was – by virtue of its historicalsignificance – housed and preserved with care atthe Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum.

On June 16, it came home to Kamehameha.On loan for one year, the ‘omuku will reside –and may be viewed – four months at a time in theKES Learning Center, the Unit 7/8 LearningCenter and, finally, Midkiff Learning Center.

BEST IN STATE

For innovative use of a computer program thatorganizes geographical data, KamehamehaSchools was selected as the Hawai‘i winner of the“Special Achievement in GIS Award,” bestowed atthe Environmental Systems Research Institute’s20th Annual User Conference in San Diego.

GIS stands for geographic informationsystem, a computer program that uses maps tocatalog data base information which, in turn,becomes available with the click of a mouse.

KS’ GIS has customized access to more than100 informational topics such as streams, wells,pumps, KS parcels, waterlines, shorelinemanagement areas, census information, stateconservation areas – even cultural and historicsite information.

Originally designed for KS land assetmanagers, KS has begun to expand use of theprogram to education. A pilot project currentlydetails a map of all the colleges on O‘ahu, howmany KS students attend, how many havegraduated plus hot links to the college’s ownwebsite. This project may soon be expanded toinclude mainland colleges and universities.

’40KS CLASS OF 1940Year 2000 is an important celebra-tion of 60 years as alumni for theClass of 1940 at Kamehameha. This wonderful week of renewingfriendships and mulling overchanged appearances, infirmities,surgeries and memory lapses(senior moments), at times wouldbring about howling laughter.Meeting again with classmatesBeatrice “Sarmi” Sarmiento Voightfrom Novato, Calif., Pauline “Mahi”Mahikoa Hadama of Kauaÿi andRachel Gonsalves Hussey fromMolokaÿi seemed like we were stillattending Kamehameha. Sorelymissed were many classmates tooill to join us for picture taking andthe päÿina poi. The more thanfilling lüÿau was so ÿono! Our classfelt honored to be given many freetickets for drinks from Neal Ernst’71, a member of the class responsi-ble for working the lüÿau. Neil’sfather Auvern, a 1940 classmate, isno longer with us. The most impor-tant event of alumni week wasremembering all the deceasedmembers of the Class of 1940 withthe reading of their names andlighting a candle in memory oftheir lives, in such a hallowed andmost beautiful chapel. The rousingand harmonious rendering of“Ring, ring, Kalihi ring, swell theecho of our song,” sung with totalabandon, brought an unabashedrush of tears. This reminded mehow fortunate I am – we all are – to have had the distinct privilege of attending Kamehameha. – Abigail Bode Gomard ’40

’45KS CLASS OF 1945A tremendously fabulous time wasenjoyed by members of the Class of’45, their spouses, family members,and friends during the recentAlumni Week Celebration. Alumni& Parents Advancement Center(APAC) and new influential

partner, Kamehameha SchoolsAlumni Association-Oÿahu Region,conducted an exceptionally well-planned week-long adventure weshall never forget. The ‘kick-off’activity, a boarder’s welcome recep-tion, was a hilarious impromptuentertainment experience involvingseveral classes. Six golfers from theclass participated in the golf tour-nament and a few of our ÿohanaenjoyed the ÿIolani Palace andMaunaÿala tours.

The KS’ Strategic Planningpresentation was extremely refresh-ing and informative. It appearsKamehameha Schools is headed inthe right direction now. Then theKINE-FM Luncheon/Broadcastshowcased a few graduates whodemonstrated their talents in songand humor.

The Fashion Show Luncheonoffered a sentimental journeythrough music and fashion.Subsequently, Talent Night perfor-mances proved most rewarding for our class since we captured twoof the four awards presented. Our a cappella medley of traditionalHawaiian songs won us the “tradi-tional” award. We also received the “participation” award for hav-ing the highest percentage of classparticipants. Kanikapila exposed us to a unique form of cultural andspiritual enlightenment.

On Class Night, we wereinvited guests at the Great Class of ’60 Extravaganza. They reallyknow how to put on a fun-tasticparty. On Saturday, we watched theKamehameha Day Parade and laterenjoyed a well-organized ÿAhaÿainaunder a gigantic tent on KoniaField. The Class of ’71 did a superjob at this successful lüÿau. AtSunday’s Memorial Chapel Service,our spiritual class reader ChrisHong identified 33 departed class-mates – 26 from KSB and sevenfrom KSG.

Mookini, George and Yvonne Cox.Mahalo to all Alumni Week volun-teers of who kept events flowing.

Headquartered at ÿIolaniDorm we shared accommodationswith KS ’70. We so enjoyed theircompany. Our boarders numbered40 classmates and spouses and weparticipated and enjoyed all theAlumni Week events.

A boarder reception startedour week with dinner, music, sing-ing and talking. James Aarona andAnthony Ohrt were Fashion Showmodels. Talent Night found uslooking great – either in our Yoyofashions or class T-shirt that wasadmired by many.

Among the highlights of ourweek was a step back in time, intoKahana Valley and to the lo‘i ofJohn Fox. A full-on lüÿau – as onlyJohn Hirota and crew can do –followed our work in the loÿi. Awayfrom buildings, people and cars,with only our classmates, there wasa feeling of specialness of place.

Class Night at the Hale KoaHotel was a great success. Heavypüpü throughout the banquet roomgave everyone a chance to mingle,to talk story, laugh, and reminiscewhile they ate. The ÿAhaÿainaunder the great tent at Konia wasawesome. The Class of ’65 waswell represented.

of Hawaiian hymns was naturallyspecial. As was the sunset when wegathered and scattered flowers ontothe waters in remembrance of our21 departed classmates. Some ofthe “girls” with “go for it” attitudesdove into the ocean fully clothed.

Class night was extraordinary:the “pinning” of the classes of 1935,1940 and 1945 as we embracedthem into our class; the specialhoÿokupu presentation to Dr.Michael J. Chun ’61, and thewelcoming of classmates who wereattending for the first time – HenryKaholokula of Puyallup, Wash.;Constance Puou Freeman ofTorrance, Calif.; Patricia OkadaSummers of San Diego; JamesSette from Colonial Heights, Va.;and, from Oÿahu, Tiare JamileMiyasato, Bonnie Apo Naluai, andSamuel Kaleikini.

In an emotion-filled moment,Dr. Chun surprised Isaac Lee bypresenting him with an academicdiploma. After his junior year atKS, Isaac moved to Germany withhis US Army step-dad and family.Being unable to graduate with hisclass created a 40-year void in hislife. With his diploma, Isaac’s life-long dream became reality.

The ÿAhaÿaina was superb.Mahalo to KS ’71 for all the hardwork and planning. To thecountless volunteers who madeAlumni Week 2000 a memorableevent for everyone – you are trulyappreciated. “KamehamehaHomecoming: KS Class of 1960’s40th Reunion” will be ingrained in our minds and instilled in ourhearts forever. Ho’okähi kealoha. – Gerry Vinta Johansen ’60

The Venus Fun Trap inJanuary warmed us up for theupcoming activities, and gave us a chance to familiarize ourselveswith each other again (where werethe nametags when we neededthem?) In March our Three-on-Three Wanna-Be-Basketballtournament was a huge success notonly in fund raising for alumniweek, but also in giving our guysand gals a chance at re-living theiryouth.
