City Lights

The Black and Gold 1977



 Quietly nestled among the bright lights of a busy city, McKinley High School's vast campus lies inconspicuous, dwarfed by its surroundings.


 Only the faint glow of the administration building's incandescent lights silhouetting the familiar monkey pod trees gives a clue to the school's location.


 As night falls over Honolulu, the darkness sets the mood for our search -- the true direction in which we set our sights. Attempting to bring this goal into FOCUS, it becomes necessity to contemplate the past and how it has shaped and influenced our destiny. Each experience is a learning one, with hope that the same mistakes would not be repeated.


 The past cannot be altered; the trial and errors are the patterns for the present --now.

..in Focus

The Black and Gold 1977



..in FOCUS

Within its own microcosm, McKinley High School saw changes, both subtle and dramatic in 1976-77.


 Attempting to conform to the rules while trying to retain one's individuality appeared to be one of the major stumble-blocks for students and faculty alike. But with minor sacrifice -- the ability to give and take -- and the willingness to try, McKinley's people came through successfully.


 Becoming more aware and at the same time increasingly uncertain of the world around us both at home and abroad, this niche in the expanse of time seemed appropriate to take a look into which direction we are headed -- a direction sought by the Black and Gold 1977.


 Reflecting upon the past, contemplating the future and comprehending the present brought the goal...in FOCUS.
