Club Wakai Nakamatchi, Mandarin Club, Chinese Student Club

The Black and Gold 1975

Individuals of Similar Cultures Unite, Socialize

 Awareness was the key word to the CLUB WAKAI NAKAMATACHI. New members were shown the ropes of the club, while older members furthered relations with the Japanese culture. Stronger relations with an understanding of Japan were a  joint venture for all.

 One significant cultural event was observed with the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival. The commemoration of this festival started with the heavenly and fragrant smells from the flowers of the Cherry  Blossom trees.

 Hard work and creative decoration marked their carnival food booth.  They served huli-huli chicken, Hawaiian and stew plate dinners. Their booth had colorful lanterns and handmade ornaments which added much to the festive atmosphere.

 All sixteen enthusiastic and gung ho members of the MANDARIN CLUB busied themselves with furthering and promoting traditional and cultural aspects of things Chinese.

 With good cheer and tidings for all, they displayed friendship to all the senior citizens at the Palolo Old Folks Home. Adviser, Mr. Alvin Nip, presented a Christmas cake to the residents.

 A highlight of their events was the preparation for and celebration of the Chinese New Year in February. Unofficially they helped Mr. Nip's Photography Club game booth at the carnival.

 Breaking the bonds of cultural barriers, the CHINESE STUDENT CLUB helped foreign students to acculturate to the ways and customs of a strange new country.

 Guided by faculty member Mr. Stephen Choy, they had two convivial socials at the Sheraton and Ilikai Hotels. A sandy and damp two-night camp at Hanauma Bay and a waterlogged fund-raising of a carwash at the Kaimuki McDonalds brought members closer together as they realized how friendly affiliations with their heritages sealed the cultural tie between them.

Samoan Club, Korean Club, Filipino Club

The Black and Gold 1975

Ethnic Clubs Nurture Friendship, Perpetuate Culture

 No other club can boast of having the school principal as an adviser as the SAMOAN FAALOFANI CLUB does. he co-advises with Mr. Toitu Solatai of the State Immigration Office.

 Faalofani means friendly and this is what the fifty students of Samoan ancestry had organized to be. They strived to encourage friendship and do projects which benefit the school. For many afternoons they could be seen and heard practicing dances and songs for performances at Kalakaua and Central Intermediate Schools. This culminated with a performance at McKinley's May Day celebration.

 Service projects undertaken were supervision of the cafeteria at lunchtime and clean up during the carnival. and a trip to Kauai was foremost on their agenda as they scurried about raising funds.

 Participating in the Aloha Week Parade was just one example of the many and varied activities of the KOREAN CLUB. Members kept active by going on picnics and meeting regularly each week with their adviser Miss Lynette Oshima.

 In December, as in other years, they made and donated burlap panels depicting Christmas scenes to the Festival of Trees. The panels were sold and proceeds went to the Queen's Medical Center Auxiliary.

 Open to all interested students, the FILIPINO CLUB kept in mind the idea of perpetuating the culture of the Philippines. Sharing their ideas and helping each other out with problems, the club tried to have a better understanding of Hawaii and what McKinley had to offer. With their adviser Mrs. Fely Serra, members--most of them immigrants--kept the culture they had brought with them alive with social activities and service projects.

 An interschool picnic brought the members into social contact with other schools.
