Administration

The Black and Gold 1975

Administering the functions of a large high school with a student population of over 2,400 can prove to be a tough challenge for anyone. Mr. Young Yee Ko returned to his Alma Mater as principal, replacing Mr. Edmund Toma, who left on a year's leave to manage George Ariyoshi's successful campaign for Governor.

His first meeting with the student body took place the first week of school in a hurriedly called assembly at which he had to discuss the death of a student following a campus fight.

In an effort to increase communication between his administration and the rest of the school, Mr. Ko encouraged a dialogue between himself and the students and teachers of McKinley High School by setting up a coordinating committee which met weekly.

Aiding him in his period of assimilation and adjustment were First Vice Principal Loy Fook Leu and Second Vice Principal Hideyasu Fukuhara. These two men helped in running the school by performing functions ranging from administration paperwork to regulating parking decals.
In addition to the principal and vice principals, the counselors at McKinley played an important role by counseling and advising students on courses to take and by helping them to achieve their goals whether it be academic or vocational.

Guidance Counselor Gerald Miller returned from his sabbatical leave. In December, Counselor Walter Nozoe accepted a vice principal position at Nanakuli High, and physical education teacher Herbert Moriyama took his place.

40th Reunion Summer 2017

People, People, People

The Black and Gold 1975

A school would not be a school without its people, and McKinley fortunately did not lack its share of bright, youthful, talented persons.

 Always ready for almost anything, the people, faculty and students alike, enjoyed and coped with the everchanging events of their world at McKinley unique. National pressures, already well into recession appeared to lighten at McKinley and the people themselves settled down by mid-year and accepted things as they were.

 Although seniors welcomed the day of graduation, and juniors and sophomores looked forward to that hopeful day, many alumni returned, back to the scene where memories and friends could be found--where a portion of their lives would always be McKinley.

The Black and Gold 1975

Individuals, Intramurals, Females Gain Deserved Recognition To Round Out Sports Year

 Rounding out a full year of sports at McKinley were several sparkling individual and team accomplishments.

 Junior Tala Taito put on a strong showing in the State Golden Gloves Tournament before losing a decision in the finals. Despite the loss, Tala was chosen as one of the ten representatives from Hawaii to enter the National Tournament in Knoxville, Tennessee.

 In the world of surfing, McKinley's Pat King finished third overall in the Junior Men's division of the Haleiwa Surfing Championships in March. 

 Boys' intramurals under the direction of P.E. instructor Joe Tom and girls's intramurals under Mrs. Jane Schroder took on wide dimensions in such sports as volleyball, basketball and bowling.

 Increasing girls' interest in sports set a new definition for involvement. Playing in their own caliber, the McKinley girls developed unique skills and techniques.

Cindermen Develop Track Stamina

 Only the most devoted and mentally as well as physically strong survived the constant drilling and conditioning involved in obtaining necessary track stamina.

 A change in coaching staff affected the team's format as Coach Herbert Moriyama engaged the help of several graduates to assist as coaches. Kwan Young and Bernard Yuen coached the distance runners while Van Tomokiyo and Leighton Hirata helped the hurdlers. Neil Yamamoto trained the weightman and Jon Sakurada instructed the pole vaulters.

 Many of last year's Honolulu District Championship lettermen did not return this year to compete, which left an entirely young team.

 The cindermen developed very competitive spring and hurdle teams. Placing on top at the Kailua relays, the Tigers created an ever-looming threat to their contingents.

JV Baseball - Girls Track

The Black and Gold 1975

Jayvees Rank Second in OIA East Baseball

 Talent and experience plus persistence were the components which directed the Junior Varsity Baseball Team to its 9-4 record for the 1975 season and a second-place standing in the OIA East Honolulu District.

 With many returnees, first-year JV Head coach Ronald Kishimoto observed with satisfaction the improvements in the performance of the players.

 The season opened with two straight losses, but the Tigers then continued on a seven-game winning streak, even beating earlier encounters Roosevelt and Kaiser, before dropping games to Kailua and Kaimuki.

 The lack of wholeheartedness caused the jayvees to lose crucial games, such as the 1-0 loss to OIA champion Kaimuki.

 Contrary to the season's start, the junior sluggers ended the season on winning notes by scoring victories over Kalani and Farrington.

Young Track Recruits Reveal Hidden Potential

 After an initial year of nervousness and instability, the girls' track team seemed to have gained tremendous experience. But a turnover of coaching staff just prior to their season and an unexpected number of new recruits hampered the Tigers in their second year of competition.

 Last year's Assistant Coach Tom Marks became the head coach this season with physical education teacher Jane Schroder assisting.

 Surprising performances against their tough competitors created strong indications of hidden potential. With six returning tracksters leading the pack, the girls looked forward to entering the Punahou Relays and the OIA Championships.
