The Black and Gold 1976

Ethnic Groups Share Cultural Traditions, Exchange Ideas

 To acculturate the Filipino students at McKinley, the FILIPINO CLUB centralized in Mrs. Fely Serra's room for discussions and meetings. Celebrating with a picnic at Ala Moana Park, the members joined other Filipino clubs from Leilehua, Farrington and Waipahu in October and exchanged ideas. President Alexander Redoble with officers Fatima Agamao, Perlita Cabras, and Fausto Aragon led the club.

 The Japanese Club, WAKAI NAKAMATACHI, began their festive year with a funfilled picnic at Ala Moana Park. Although they were defeated twice in a Korean Club challenge, the fun that they had surpassed the feelings of defeat. The gaily decorated chili and stew booth at the carnival showed the hard work the club had put into it. A bus ride in February with Leilehua's Japanese Club to Byodoin Temple and Spalding House brought both clubs closer to the Japanese cultures and traditions.

 As one of the best organized clubs on campus, the KOREAN CLUB wasted no time in launching plans for the school year. Guided by their adviser Miss Lynette Oshima, they kicked off the year with an initiation picnic and challenged the Japanese Club in volleyball and bowling. A close-knit group, they donated hanging pots and scrolls to the Festival of Trees and food to the Korean Old Folks Home. A sweet bread sale took place in October, and at the February Carnival, the plate lunch sale. The Korean plate proved to be a sellout with barbecue meat, rice, vegetables and kim chee.

 The POLYNESIAN CLUB brought together students of Hawaiian, Samoan and Tongan ethnic backgrounds. Participating in the May Day Program, the club performed the boy's slap dance and the "Sasa." Advised by Francis Afa and Mr. Larry Silva, the group also appeared at elementary and intermediate schools, performing dances and sharing their cultural backgrounds with others.

Language Associates Perpetuate Customs, Culture

 Cultural barriers did not hinder the 16 members of the CHINESE STUDENT CLUB as they tried "to really feel a part of McKinley". Led by President Richard Wong, the club engaged in a variety of activities to benefit the school as well as acculturate themselves. Bursting with joy, their first accomplishment came as their ingeniously designed float won first place for the bicentennial parade. Participating in the May Day program, planning a China Night, undertaking various money-making projects, and sponsoring Christmas and graduation parties all helped these Chinese students feel pride of their own culture as well as their school.

 Projects of the MANDARIN CLUB encouraged study of the Chinese heritage or served the community. In the Chinese spirit, the club presented gifts to the senior citizens at the Palolo Chinese Home, exemplifying their desire to relate to the older generations. Celebrating the Chinese New Year on January 30, the club attempted to give the younger generation an insight into the oriental culture. Beef tomato, Mongolian beef and shoyu chicken topped off the menu of delicious Chinese delights prepared by the club adviser Mr. Alvin Nip for the luncheon. This event was shared with others including some teachers.

 What do you get when you combine the French Club and the Spanish Club together? The result was the FRENCH-SPANISH CLUB, newly formed this year to create more interest and to widen the cultural scope of McKinleyites interested in those languages. Instead of learning about only one culture, students were exposed to both the French and Spanish cultures through related activities such as making pinatas, inviting guest speakers, working at the tacos booth at the carnival, and playing simple games in French and Spanish. The club was inspired and guided by the enthusiastic advisership of Miss Jean Matsuo who met regularly with them.
