Social and Service Boards

The Black and Gold 1976

Social and Service Boards Coordinate Awareness, Student Activities

 Dances, competitions, assemblies and various other class and student council social activities were coordinated by the Social Board. Comprised of a coordinator, social committee chairpersons, and the president and vice-president of each class, the board met regularly to plan and report on the various events.

 The year featured events such as Homecoming Week and dance, a successful Fun Nite where students were treated to a fashion presentation and make-up and hairstyling types, many entertaining and educational assemblies, "One Love" Winter Prom at the Ilikai Pacific Ballroom, a crazy time during Crazy Week, May Day pageant, the exciting selection of Miss McKinley to reign over festivities during the school year, and the individual class weeks and proms.

 With the emphasis on the Bicentennial, McKinley's students were treated to and participated in several events spearheaded by the S.C. Bicentennial Committee. There was a school-wide parade in January, followed by contests in such categories as pie-eating, kite-flying, singing; even the carnival had a touch of the Bicentennial with pig-calling and naildriving contests.

 Formerly the Academic Board, The Student Services Board included several committees which handled student needs. 

 Renovation of the bookstore and replacing the handbook with a similar guide in the form of a folder, were some of the modifications which helped in serving the constantly diverging needs of the students.

Student Council

The Black and Gold 1976

Student Council Board, Senate Initiate Planning For More Involvement

 Early in May of 1975, the new executive board for the 1975-1976 school year started to work and plan for the upcoming year. Six juniors with little or no idea of what they were expected to do, worked industriously to uphold their positions and to construct a closer knit McKinley. With all the changes evident in school, such as the new schedule, constitution and registration procedures, it seemed that the job of running a "different" McKinley would prove be some task.

 One major setback that also made success doubtful was the question of an adviser. Not until late August was and adviser appointed. Luckily, the new adviser, Miss Raynette Takizawa, a graduate of McKinley High School, knew a little about student government, so her experience proved to be beneficial in maintaining coherence and organization.

 Through all the confusion, the six board members and the new senate president elected in September, matured to a very close knit and competent unit. In their weekly Tuesday night meetings, problems were discussed and much planning of activities such as the carnival were made. This year also saw the start of the coordinating committee which was designed to coordinate the activities of the administration, faculty, students and parents. In addition, the reorganized Parent-Teacher and now, Student Association (PTSA) was started.
