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.

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.
