The Black and Gold 1977
Many hours of hardworking rehearsals were needed to put on three musical productions presented by the McKinley Theatre Group.
The whimsical musical, based on the comic strip "Peanuts" by Charles Schultz, opened MTG's melodious year in October with "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown." In time for the Christmas spirit, "Celebration" by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, shared many new skills with the audience. Then came the sparkling, colorful play of "Hello Dolly" in February. Also, in February, members rallied for the Carole Kai publicity demonstration in town and worked in the huli-huli chicken booth with adviser Mr. James Nakamoto at the annual carnival.
MTG closed its book with a children's show at the end of March and the annual Awards Banquet in May at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.
The MHS Speech Club has well represented McKinley at speech festivals and tournaments all over the state. Their aim was centered around promoting the importance of good speech and raising the speech standards here at the school and at competitions with other schools.
The club's adviser, Mrs. Fely Serra, has had many superior rated speech festivals, and received the high marks for their presentations.
Students took part in a number of categories including public speaking in which chosen or written material is utilized. They also participated in oral interpretation using humorous or dramatic interpretative reading, monologues, poetry and storytelling.
In May, the club hosted the State Speech Tournament here at McKinley. According to some of the members, "We work hard but it's enjoyable work. The results aren't always winning but always self rewarding."
