Sometimes, amidst the tumultuous /"
hustle and bustle of everyday /
life, you become totally dis- ^

< oriented; and you fail to grasp
even the simplest concepts put
before you.

;yy-.:y;rr-■ - -^

At times like these it is
essential to come to terms
with yourself. It is time
to probe into your mind.
Who are you? Why are you
here?



Contrary to popular belief, you
were not brought into this world
by a stork. You are the product
of a beautiful process called
love. And this process involved
two wonderful people called par­
ents. Parents and love go hand
in hand ... and you can always
reach for them.

ACTIVITIES

Ah, how boring your existence would be if you did
the same thing day in and day out. That's why

life offers a change of pace now and then. The
decision to get involved is up to you. The more
you do, the more you learn. Then, you have to de­

cide what to do with what you know.



Acquaintance Week

"Welcome Back"
Maryknoll!

Through the eyes of the Freshmen, the
opening of the 1976 school year was an
exciting new experience. Every morning
during Acquaintance Week each freshman

was given a gift by an upperclassman.
During lunch, a faculty spelling bee,
tricycle races, and eating contests were
held in Rogers Hall. A final assembly,
featuring the acting abilities of the
Senior class, highlighted the week. A
hilarious play described the "dos and
don'ts" in the life of a Maryknoll stu­
dent. An electrifying dance signified
the end of Acquaintance Week '76 and the

beginning of a great year.

Aloha Week

Festivities Generate
Hawaiian Spirit

Aloha Week '76 took a change of course
from the traditional festivities of
Maryknoll High. This year, the Spirit
Committee focused its attention on the
youth of Hawaii. Through Hawaiian games,
a talent show, and a hatband contest,
the students displayed their Hawaiian
heritage. At the end of the school's
celebration, Sharon Santos was named the
"Happy Hawaiian of the Week." All par­
ticipants in the week's activities de­
served some award for exemplifying the
true aloha spirit.

Battle of the Choits

A Glimpse of a
Christmas Tradition

Rogers Hall once again rang with harmo­
nious voices as the ninth annual Battle
of the Choirs took place. Many hours of
intense practicing brought out fine per­
formances from each division. Together
they participated in sharing their
Christmas melodies with family and
friends. The competition was tough, but
the judges would have to make the final
decision. The Class of '78, centering
their theme on "Christmas in Hawaii,"
was proclaimed the victor and presented
with the traditional trophy. As always,
the evening’s closing moments found eve­
ryone filled with the Christmas spirit.

Winter Affair

/In Elegant

Candlelight Evening

Highlighting the Christmas season
was the annual Winter Affair.
Traditionally known as the Winter
Ball, the Winter Affair was creat­
ed by the Prom Committee as a mem­
orable event for all students.
The Ainahau Ballroom of the Prin­
cess Kaiulani Hotel was the set­
ting of this year's dance. Here
students dined on a delicious buf­
fet dinner and were entertained
with contemporary music by "Win­
dows." Throughout the evening,
the theme "Just To Be Close To
You" held a special meaning for
each person.

Homecoming

"Get On

the Good Foot"

Uh-huh! Homecoming *77 got underway
with various events occuring throughout
the week. Starting off with "sock day",
the spirited students came to school at­
tired in multi-colored socks. The fol­
lowing day, relays, such as a 3-legged
race and a sock race, were held. The
"Tiptoe Parade" featured six nominees
for the title of Homecoming Queen. Dis­
playing their poise and talent, the con­
testants put on a grand show for the
audience. Meanwhile king nominees were
busily collecting penny-votes around the
school. Finally, on Friday, the Home­
coming Court was announced at a pep ral­
ly. Everyone was filled with the Spar­
tan spirit and off on the "good foot."

Homecoming

Be Determined
Mighty Spartans!

On Saturday, at the ridiculous
hour of 7 o'clock in the morning,
the final phase of Homecoming Week
had begun. After days of prepara­
tion, the floats were being assem­
bled -- floats ranging from over­

sized Hush Puppies to majestic
Spartans reigning over all. The
divisions pooled their resources
and ingenuity to produce beautiful
and creative floats. The Seniors
won the contest with their giant
television and weather forecast.
Later the floats paraded through
Makiki. The days activities were
climaxed by an evening basketball

game with University High.

Fo reign Language Week

Doouble
Voour IA/oorfd

Numerous presentations and exhib­
its were shown during the February

celebration of Foreign Language
Week. The purpose of this event
was to motivate students to study
another language. French, Japa­
nese, and Spanish classes hosted
each other throughout the week and
displayed the culture and cuisine
of each country. For the finale,

an entertaining and delightful
show was held on Friday. It fea­
tured the French Can-Can, a Span­

ish dance called La Raspa, and a
I Japanese version of the "Three
la Little Pigs"

Militant Life

A Change

In Cadence

The cadets of Maryknoll's Civil Air
Patrol Squadron were busy in a host
of activities this year. The drill
team served as a public relations
unit for Maryknoll by participating
in various parades and serving as
ushers for such community programs
as the Diocesan Bicentennial Cele­
bration and operas at the Blaisdell
Memorial Center. The Special Action
Team sharpened their search and res­
cue tactics through field training.
Firebrand 240, our radio call sign,
was manned by cadets interested in
communications. Their avid involve­
ment in the cadet program earned the
cadets second honors as one of Ha­
waii Wing's top squadrons of 1976.

Assemblies

Entertainment

For All

The assemblies of the past year have
been fun-filled events with the empha­

sis on entertainment and involvement.
Demonstrations, masses, talent shows,
and pep rallies are just a few assem­
blies that have taken place in Rogers
Hall. Talent shows, with the emphasis
on humor and entertainment, proved to be

the most popular attractions. Much
credit should go to the Assembly and
Service Committees, and also to the stu­
dents whose performances have made the

assemblies work.

Campus h olies

The Other Side
of Maryknoll

In most peoples’ eyes Maryknoll’s
image is both academic and athletic.
While brilliance and brawn are obvi­

ous in everyday school life, there
are beneath the surface other as­
pects which are also typical of
Maryknoll. For example, intelli­
gence is often a disguise for the
true buffoonery which occurs from
time to time. So if you thought
Maryknoll was a quiet and humdrum
school, think again.

CLOCKWISE from above: Pam Gomez is hit by hard times; de­
voted teachers spend hours preparing for their classes; Tim
"Preako" Gaud displays Maryknoll's basic good looks; "Oh, I
smeared my mascara!"; first comes love, then comes marriage,
then comes ... or is it the other way around?!!; Paul Koike

gets ready for another day of school; "I wanna be loved by
you ... and Prank, and Harry, and ..."

FRESHMEN

When you are young, you are generally considered
inexperienced, and people seem to be constantly

telling you what to do. Usually you have no
choice but to follow. But it's only a phase and

it will pass.

Freshmen Face a
Favorable Future

The Class of 1980 is an enthusiastic
collection of young people learning to
grow under the leadership of their divi­
sion officers. The spirit of this
year's freshmen was revealed early in
the year by their taking first place in
the Halloween candy drive. This deter­
mination and cooperation will surely
strengthen the class during the next
three years at Maryknoll.

A Fresh Start

for a New Year

The freshmen spent a day at Ala Moana
Park getting acquainted with each
other. The frosh homeroom teachers
had planned this outing. It was to be
a day of activities where everyone
could get to know all of the unfami­
liar faces. They pulled together in a
tug of war, had a blast in the water
balloon fights, and developed team­
work in games of football, volleyball,
and softball.

Frosh Hit

the Road

As a new addition to the student body,
the freshmen took awhile getting tuned
into the MIS way of life. For the first
few weeks confusion reigned, causing oc­

casional mishaps, such as forgetting
locker combinations or grabbing the

wrong books for class. However, as the
year wore on and the freshmen grew ac­
customed to Maryknoll's everyday life,
their problems began to fade away.

Time To i
Branch Out

Somewhere in Maryknoll's wide variety of
activities there is something to satisfy

the freshman taste. Whatever the goal
or desire - - t o become a football or

basketball star, the head of a commit­
tee, or perhaps even just to be a book­
worm -- the freshmen are given an oppor­
tunity to become a part of Maryknoll in

a special way, depending on their own
resources and talents.

One down and three more years to go --
that's how it stood for the Class of
1979. They apparently were in no hurry
and preferred to relish each moment of

they spent this year gathering experi­
ences that would make their high school
years the most memorable of their lives.

Teamwork

Makes It Easier

This year the Booster Club Luau proved
not only to be a successful fund raising
event, but also a great help in unifying
the student body of Maryknoll High. The
four divisions pulled together to help
the Boosters create an authentic Hawai­
ian setting with the traditional luau
food. The students' help in preparing,
serving, and cleaning up was greatly ap­
preciated by the Boosters.

T i s the Season
To Be Jolly

With Christmas soon approaching, the
Sophomore division found themselves

overburdened with activities. Enthu­
siastically they prepared for the Bat­

tle of the Choirs, their Christmas
mass, the assembly, and the Winter Af­

fair. All of this pre-Christmas hav­
oc, though, did not get the Sophomores

down, and with great anticipation for
the coming holidays they topped every­

thing off with a stupendous Christmas
party.
