Promenade Harmonizes Activities

  The Class of 1976 entered into McKinley as frightened sophomores. A year passed, and this year’s juniors proved to have matured immensely.

  In taking on more responsibilities, the juniors revived the traditional “Ugly Bug Ball,” a masquerade party and sock hop.

  As the year progressed, creativity and dedication brought forth the much awaited junior prom, “A Song for Someone,” held in the Kam Ballroom on April 19. The incandescent glow from the candles reflected on sparkles of blue and white as this semi formal, floral affair climaxed a most productive year.

Juniors ‘Toast’ Second Place Honors

  Determination and spirit bound the “Jolly Juniors” together with an invisible string of unity, making their second year at McKinley a year of togetherness. Their responsibilities to McKinley increased in school happenings.

  Along with new and challenging ideas came a new junior adviser, Mrs. Meg Uehara. Full of spirit, exciting ideas and pride for the juniors, Mrs. Uehara always found time to help the juniors out in many of their activities. She was a dedicated, outgoing and fun adviser who kept the effervescence of the juniors flowing. Her guidance laid a strong foundation upon which the juniors built their trust and faith.

  The juniors exhibited their pride and spirit as they featured Kikaider, Hawaii’s new superhero from Japan, at their annual class pep rally. Mrs. Uehara was naturally a part of this class rally as she “spookily” moaned and summoned Kikaider’s monster enemies and stirred everyone’s enthusiasm.

  Enthused by their mascot, and cheering with all their hearts, the juniors walked away with the ever famous spirit stick.
  Banners, slogans and balloons were just a part of the vibrant junior spirit that was displayed despite a loss to Roosevelt.

  Homecoming was the next big event for the juniors as they worked diligently and ambitiously to create a float for “Tiger Celebration. They were much rewarded as they produced a brilliant second place float. Nightly workshops strengthened the bonds of class unity as fun and new found friends were shared by all.

  As a part of the Homecoming festivities, representatives from the junior class competed with the seniors in six class game competitions. With a small crowd of juniors to give encouragement, the Class of ‘76 proceeded to win the slogan relay, doughnut-eating competitions and the seven-legged relay to come out victorious over the seniors.

  These and many other events helped make the Class of ‘76 unified and one--an important step in becoming tomorrow’s seniors.

The Black and Gold 1975

Creating this rewarding year was the responsibility of two boys and two girls; elected in April the year before to lead the Class of '76.

The dismal loss of their October class game to Roosevelt drew the juniors closer together, as they expressed their pride and spirit in McKinley.

In requitement of their sixth place float last year, the juniors made a come back with a "Tiger Toast", capturing second place honors in the Homecoming float competitions.

Culminating the activities for December was a three-day camp, affectionately referred to as a "Junior Jamp" at Camp Pau Malu, which concluded Sunday, the 29th. Included in the activities were movies, a bonfire, games a dance, and a chance for juniors to be drawn even closer together.

The result of tedious planning was rewarded by a successful Class Day. Held on Friday, April 18, the schedule for the day included a play, special luncheon, and an assembly.

Amidst the backdrop of a romantic setting in the Surfrider Hotel on Saturday, April 19, was the Junior Prom, "A Song for Someone."

With the realization that another year had fleeted by, thoughts of becoming "Mighty Seniors" and graduating in a short while were envisioned by many as they looked back, while "remembering the good things."

Class Motto: "Live for day, hope for tomorrow and remember the good things of the past."
Class Colors: Blue and White
Class Song: "Just You and Me"
Class Flower: Blue Carnation
Class Mascot: Winnie the Pooh
