A L ESPINDA Dribbler’s Debut
V arsity C oach
The M.H.S. Senior Basketball team made their
splendid debut at the Civic Auditorium on January
11 against the tough and finally victorious Roosevelt
quintet. A flashback on other games reveals:

Punahou beat the knollers by 13 points . . . on
Friday the thirteenth!

The superior height of the pennant-bound Far­
rington Governors’ proved fatal to the "slightly
green” Spartans.

Although favored over Kam by sport reviewers,
Maryknoll lost the hard fought game.

A determined St. Louis five showed that expe­
rience is a requisite for a winning team.

After a special "spark plug” rally—the boys were
charged with a current of electrifying determination
shocking their final opponent Iolani. As the buzzer
sounded—the crowds went wild with excitement—
Maryknoll had tasted victory!

With A1 Espinda as the capable coach and Stanley
Wong and Francis Mundon as high scorers—Mary­
knoll had a profitable season . . . experience wise
if not victory wise.

The rising of Maryknoll High to fame in
Varsity Basket Ball, left the Junior Varsity team to
stand ''each tub on its own bottom". Without
the leadership of their "big brothers” who last year
gave us a victorious season, they had to carry the
load alone.

Coach George Waiolama chose Glenn Hale,
Ernest Enos, and Arnold Kidder as centers, while
Teddy Yee, John Arafiles, Kenny Kwock, Sweeney
Skinner, and Richard Lyons held the forward posi­
tion. Managers were Kenny Au and Patrick Melim.

Coach Waiolama said at the first of the sea­
son that the boys looked pretty good at practice games
although there was much room for improvement.

Our boys fought well all through the season
and never let the spirit of a "better tomorrow" die.
We know, though, that they were often dejected
through the season because as the players on the
team phrased it, "there is nothing worse than hav­
ing the feeling that you have let your school down
by returning without many wins."

With their fighting spirit we know they cer­
tainly didn’t and the faculty and students gave them
complete support and encouragement to prove it.

"T hey fly th roug h the air w ith the gre a te st o f ease!"
" a tisket — a tasket — we w ant a ba sket!"

Duel in th e sun
Rah! Rah! Rah! Roaring cheers of students
resounded from the courts as the referee blew his A tense m om ent in an a ction -pa cked gam e
whistle to open Intramural Basketball. Each team’s
vim and vigor produced exciting contests through­
out the "Round Robin’’. "Dead-eye” stars like
Marty Viernes, Sammy Kong Kee, Stanley Wong,
and John Arafiles helped their individual classes by
racking up point after point. As the division
games drew to a close, it was the hard fighting
Senior B and Sophomore A boys who tied for first
place. At the decisive game the mighty upperclass­
men won by a close margin 52-48.

The girls’ volleyball season followed at the
same rip-roaring pace set by the boys. These "pre-
cision-ized” belles were a scrappy group of ball
handlers. There was stiff competition to the bitter
end. Champions were the driving lassies of Soph­
omore A, who, captained by Rosemarie Chock, gar­
nered seven wins and one loss. Their close rivals
were Freshman A and Junior B, who tied for sec­
ond place.

Intramural games provide both necessary re­
creation and competition for the entire student bo­
dy. The eight classes have built teamwork, fair
play, and a marvelous Maryknoll spirit!

Practice started early this year with firing and
physical exercises playing an important role in the
team’s training program. Since the boys practice safe­
ty first, the red flag could be seen late each afternoon
to let all students know the danger within the range.
Another safety precaution is that once a rifle is on the
range, the bolt is opened and the piece locked.

Cleaning a rifle three days in succession after it
has been fired and caring for the range and equipment
are some of the duties of the boys.

Some incentives to better firing were the new
binoculars purchased for the firers to spot the actual
landing of the rounds on the target, and the occasional
prizes offered for accuracy in marksmanship. Mixing
business with pleasure the team toolc a trip to Maui
during the Christmas vacation to learn of possibilities
in rifle competition there.

On the day of a match, the members of the team
could be seen in Chapel or before Our Lady’s Shrine
in prayer for success and true sportsmanship.

The Rifle team participated in competition in
NRA and Territorial matches. With 200 as a perfect
personal score, each firer did his best to reach that
goal. Earl Paiaina held first place with Thaddeus
Kwiatkowski taking a close second. The three year
letter men were Thomas Wong and Kenneth Thom—
both key men on the team.

In October, the C.Y.O. games started with a
bang. The Spartan girls coached by George Waiola-
ma showed fine teamwork and cooperation, defeating
all their opponents, from Star of the Sea A and B,
and the three teams from St. Francis.

Chosen for their fine work and skill on the
court were Betty Manzano, Marlene Soares, Angeline
Botelho, Liberta du Ponte, Carol Maehara, Sadie Mau,
Kay Towata, Mary Teixeira, Jackie De Ponte, Rose
Marie Chock, Charlene Crawford and Gwen Gouveia.
Mary Teixeira earned the title, "Most Outstanding play­
er”, in the C.Y.O. High School Volleyball League. She
deserves hearty congratulations! Special mention goes
to Connie Ganade, the "mascot” of the team for her
faithfulness in attending all games and cheering them
on to victory.

The "thriller” of the season was the Star of the
Sea versus Maryknoll game. The girls played with
ease and presence of mind. "Slam, feed, watch out!"
were some of the side line shouts of the spectators
as our team marched on to victory.

Again in 1956 Maryknoll entered the C.Y.O.
Basketball League. Although they didn’t even ap­
proach their Volleyball record, the girls played hard
and well under George Waialama’s careful coaching.
The snappy maroon and gold shirts atop white pedal
pushers gave our Spartans dash and color on the court.

reflected.

Our C.Y.O. girls’ volleyball team were really
tops! With their unfaltering teamwork and initiative
they wound up the season with a championship tro­
phy, while versatile Mary Texeira was voted most
valuable player of the year.

Our Basketball boys jumped jubilantly into the
Senior loop. Stanley Wong and Francis Mundon
were given "Honorable Mention” by those selecting
the All-Star team.

As this goes to press, baseball co-captains, Herbert
Kiyabu and Eugene Amorine, are whipping a "fine

sharpshooters of Lieutenant Hoe’s rifle team, with
Tommy Wong as captain, are showing,accurate aim
and steady trigger fingers, throughout their matches.
Dedicated to Our Lady of Victories, the rifle team is

Juggle, happy juggler,
You, too, are quick of hand and heart,
But your mind is vacant of the thoughts of war.
Your joy you find in tossing the glittering balls to heaven’s door,
To earn the favor of your King and Queen.
Share of your joy and render us blithe and carefree; Tis all we ask.

In session Our Student Council ensures at Maryknoll a govern­
ment "of the people, for the people, and by the people".
66 Its purpose is to spread the Maryknoll spirit; to maintain
school discipline, and to see that all participate in the
various activities, socials and drives sponsored by it.

It was the Student Council, spearheaded by Presid­
ent Herbert Kiyabu, and officers, Tommy Wong, Myrna
Pasion, and Robert Chang, who in September, through
.the Acquaintance Dance, extended the warm hand of wel­
come to the incoming Freshmen. The Council, lovers of
variety as are the rest of the student body, introduced, the
"Square Dance" to take the place of the annual Halloween
Dance. All students are now converted "Hayseeds" and
are looking forward to more of the same.

The school picnic, planned annually by the Council
as a reward for classes netting the quota in carnival ticket
sales, was a huge success. The Council deserves much
credit, too, for making Maryknoll Day a colorful and
memorable experience for the faculty, students, and pa­

rents.
Among the Councils’ tremendous undertakings was

the sponsoring of the "Catholic Miss Contest”. Each class
nominated a student it deemed worthy of the title and
it was the privilege of the Council to officially announce
Beverly Shinnick as our "Catholic Miss”.

Realizing the importance of the development of
Christian ideals, the Council planned a weekly Mass pro­
gram for the entire school inviting each class to attend
and recite the Mass responses on a specific day of the
week. It can be truly said that this led to a more devotion­
al attitude on the part of the student body.

Thru gooern that "S h a ll we discuss th a t a t T u esda y's m e e tin g ? " asks R. O h ira

How many times have you been tempted while wait­
ing in a line to bore your way through illegally? The
Student Council, aware that this temptation sometimes
presents itself, has literally become our Guardian Angel.
The Councillors of each class alternate the responsibili­
ty of keeping an "eagle eye” on the lunch line. They
extend permission for cuts when they are necessary and
prevent others from making them unnecessarily.

Every year a lovely program in honor of the Mother
of God is presented, May Day. It is the duty of the Stu­
dent Council to see that the presentation is worthy of Her
and this year proved more beautiful and memorable than
last. Hats off to an ingenious Student Council!

The Council’s vigorous work with an interest in the
various drives such as the "Toys for Tots” crusade and
the filling of Christmas baskets for the poor has helped
the student body to a clearer realization of their power
as a group and their evergrowing responsibility for the
welfare of their neighbor.

To shed a personal light on the workings of the
Student Council, President Herbert Kiyabu had this
to say: "We were blessed with competent councillors,
only too willing to unite for a worthy purpose. They
saw to it that their respective classes were notified of all
Council activities and projects. The good ideas they pre­
sented reflected the tremendous interest and response re­
ceived from the classes. The entire student body was most
cooperative, and we accomplished a great deal more than
we expected.”

A great deal has occurred since the "Tributeers” mounted
their steeds in September for a strenuous, but worth-while
crusade. They can truly say that they "Followed the Gleam”,
since with Our Lady of Light as inspiration, the many fruits
and few spoils were returned to her with grateful hearts. The
very capable and understanding Editor-in-chief Laureen Hong,
kept tabs on the various groups, spurring them on to accom­
plish excellent jobs.

Tribute’s original and appealing red and white padded
cover along with its new unique double spread division pages
enabled the skill of a busy art staff to be fully displayed. The
inexperienced literary staff learned the hard way by doctor-

all the information was complied, "keyed” typists, whose
magnetic "fives” never hit upon any flaws, recorded it.

In November, at Punahou School’s Dillingham Hall,
Tributeers were privileged to attend a special convention for
the production and improvement of the high school annual.
Thus, the delegates returned with a bird’s-eye view of the art
of publication which proved advantageous to their fellow
laborers.

.When the final pages reached the press, the entire "T ”
staff breathed a sign of relief and lay back to relax and enjoy
the success of their arduous efforts.

Under the guidance of Sisters Marie Patrice and Christina
Francis, the crusade of the Tributeers of 1956 ended gloriously.

Something new has been added! For the first Some work — b u t lots o f fu n ! beams M a rc e llo Pao. G . A u,

Chi Rho Knoller was a bi-monthly publication. Un­
der the able direction of Sister Miriam Augustine
and the editor-in-chief, Barbara Babcock, this "New
Edition’’ was run off like clockwork.

While we are on the subject of new things,
let us not forget the first appearance of the "Fifth
Column” to our readers. Written by the venerable
and esteemed Feeble Goodheart, this column joined
forces with the established gossip column, "Nosey
and Snoopy”, and presented to Maryknoll all the
latest "juicy tidbits” on MHS students and faculty.

The paper, bigger and better than ever be­
fore, provided the staff with a lot of extra work, but
with keen minds and capable hands, the four page
editors and their helpers managed to get a good
job done on time. They kept the pages chock full
of news by being ever alert—pencils poised and eyes
open—jotting down news on the spot.

In December the Chi Rho Staff, taking a tip
from one of our local TV stations, sponsored an ex­
citing treasurer hunt contest. After taking the key
for The Cash Box and deftly hiding it somewhere
on the school campus, they proceeded to make the
hunt much easier (?) by announcing daily over the
P. A. system a weird assortment of clues which were
drawn up by Pat Amtsberg.

Enthusiasm ran high as everyone was spurred
on by the enticing prize—dinner for two at a res­
taurant of the winners’ choice. The prize was. award­
ed to Charles Cherry at the annual Christmas Party.

With these and many other doings, the Chi
Rho Knoller staff has really work extra hard to give
us "tomorrow’s news today” and a year of the finest
issues ever!

Progress was visualized as the cadets swapped the

old 03’s for new M-l rifles and an intercommunication
system was installed to expedite the relaying of messages.
Two classes a week supplemented by an afternoon of
drill taught the cadets the basic knowledge for military
service. A new idea in drill work was introduced—
company competition—which fired the unit's morale and
enabled them to perform admirably in the competitive
drill and proficiency tests held with other Territorial

R.O.T.C. units.
The cadets displayed their devotion to their Catholic

Faith by marching in the Holy Name Society Parade.

a high spirited platoon of thirty boys whizzed through

Many qualified boys turned out for the first

but when the slow process came to a close, we had a
"cream of the crop’’ platoon.

As time is a very important element, an intensive
practice was held each Thursday. Sergeant Bolos
stressed hair cuts, well starched and fitted uniforms,

A pleasant Thursday activity, the Glee Club jSerenadcrs
practices under the metrical batons of Sisters Ana
Doloritas and Christina Francis. Also accompanying
are piano virtuosos: Bertha Chang, Barbara Bab­

The Serenaders gave their first performance on
Sister Virginia Therese’s feast day, with th^ Negro
spirituals, "Sweet Chariot’’, Kentucky Babe”,
"Rise and Shine”, and "Alleluia”. Hidden sing­
ing talent was exposed by tenor, Roger Simon and
altos, Melvin Vios and Thaddeus Kwiatkowski.

At the annual Christmas party, the Club added
to the general gaiety and merriment by caroling
"White Christmas”, "We Wish You A Merry
Christmas”, and "When Christ Was Born On

Earth”.
"O Sole Mio” echoed throughout the school,

when for Sister Rose Agnes’ feast day they sere­
naded all with lovely Victor Herbert melodies.

Electing officers was the newly organized
Press Club’s first venture. Paul Chinen be­
came president with Pat Dwyer and Barbara
Elias as his assistants. The activity was di­
vided into two sections: The Chi Rho, ad­
vised by Sister Miriam Augustine and The
Tribute, assisted by Sister Marie Patrice.

Every Thursday there were section meet­
ings and once a month, joint meetings. Visit­
ing many companies, they toured the Star-
Bulletin and Advertiser Plants. At the Star-
Bulletin, they learned the process of ma­
chine-printing and witnessed the work of
the clerical and reporting departments.

At home, experienced journalists from
Fisher Corporation paid a visit, leaving
ideas for better and more interesting school
papers and annuals.

The majority of Press Club members are
Juniors. Thus, the experience they gather
will continually guarantee for Maryknoll
outstanding journalists in the years to come!

“draftg Grew” This year several new activities have been add­
ed to our extra-curricular list. Among them is the
Craft Club under the supervision of Sister Dorothy
Francis. It has had many useful and important aims
and projects. At carnival time you may have received

as prizes trinkets and favors made by the craft club.
Be prepared for even better things next year, for the
club has worked earnestly in preparing things for
the 1956 carnival.

The club gave its members an opportunity to
become better acquainted with their own Hawaiian
woods and nuts. They saw how coconuts, wood ros­
es, lauhala from palm trees, wili wili seeds and ku-
kui nuts can become anything from attractive dis­
plays for the living room, to the most delicate jewel­
ry to adorn a lovely Polynesian neck. Not only has
the Craft Club enabled us to see God magnified in
nature, but it has allowed many to realize their own
dexterity and ability to create artistic effects.

in a "m a d e 'for s tu d y " h a b ita t. this year. Instead of electing officers as a regular
club, they became known as the Library Staff and
welcomed Sister Mercedes Maria as their new ad­
viser. Each member had his or her own job to do,
either on card and picture files, bookbinding and
mending, or card typing, magazines and inventory.

Lee Grant took care of getting displays from
the Art Academy, while beautiful bulletin boards
were produced by Gregory Nelson and James Rod­
rigues. Among those who gave their free time to
work were Marlene Bolos, Theresa Tong, Pat Kaula-
hao and Braulio Bejasa.

Through the interesting displays, boards, and
pictures files, the students profited immensely, as
they were not only interesting, but also helpful in
History and English classes. There’s more to come
in the future, too.

Serving our Chaplains at Mass and Holy Be­
nediction, the Knights of the Altar manifested a
generous and loving spirit, too.

The boys and girls of Maryknoll are satisfac­
tory contributors to the upkeep of Christ's house.
They are as intensely interested in this cause as were
those who initiated the club three years ago. Under
the direction of Sister Marie Assunta, the Club has
become indispensable to the school, especially in view
of the privilege of having the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass offered daily- in the school chapel. It meant
very much to the Sacristans when the faculty de­
cided that their work be publicly acknowledged by
the institution of a regular club. Thus the organiza­
tion has made its presence felt. It is truly a credit
to the school by its sincere and constant application
of self-sacrifice intrinsic in and necessary for true
Christians.

Though just "born” this year, the Hawaiian
Music Club has become an active part of Maryknoll’s
co-curricular activities. Headed by Leonard dela Cruz
and Samuel Kong Kee it met each week under
the direction of Miss Kohler and Mrs. Kep Aluli.

Any boys, Hawaiian or Hawaiian at heart, who
liked to sing and play on a ukelele or guitar were
I invited to join. Each afternoon one could find this
melodious group on the front lawn, near the stage,
or by the lockers, perfecting their arrangements.

The club had its debut performing for Sister
Virginia Therese on her feast day. Their half hour
program included popular Hawaiian songs—old and
new—chants, and singing. They also provided the
background music for the hula dancers.

In November they performed for the public
at the Annual Talent Show. They were also a part
of the half-hour "spot” that Maryknoll had on Sta­
tion KPOA in February.

“Banners unfurl o’er all the world”

The azure sea is serenely calm,
Symbol of journey’s end.
For wild and fierce were once these
coasts, spitting tower of snowy foam
in firm protest at all who dared to trespass.
Muscles flex as strong firm arms
drive slowly landmarks into hardened turf.
The banners ripple, lifting their
faces to the gentle wind in humble pride.
A little voice as that of tiny babe
sings clear and sweet a credo true:
“I am Faith, the seed of truth. Upon good
ground I flourish bringing forth abundant fruit.
You have guarded me, amid dangers, wide and far.”

Then in crescendo, a louder song is audible.
Its crystal clearness fills the heart with joy.
“I, Hope, plant confidence in souls of all good men
You cherished me and to the very end,
Despaired not when all seemed lost and futile.”
A new and fuller voice flows forth
Climactic, golden, warm with red-gold tone,
It sings delightfully and then speaks
for every ear to hear:
“You guarded Faith, you cherished Hope
But little did you know my presence near.
Blossoming in fruit profuse . . . I

enter silently your prayerful hearts,
embracing love and smothering hate.
I am the consummation of your labors
The virtue perfect—Charity.”

F red M e y e rs , d ir e c to r , plays th e le a d in g ro le as "T h e M a n Babes in Touland
Behind the Scenes."
"Jack! Jill! and Little Bo Peep, enjoy yourselves my
dears!’’ With these seemingly innocent words spoken by
the play’s villain, Barney O ’Flynn, this year’s Spring
Festival, "Babes in Toyland”, initiated its tale of ad­
venture, comedy, and romance, interwoven with de­
lightful fantasy.

Lilting tunes such as "Lemonade", "Jane” and the
lovely theme "Babes in Toyland" produced an appro­
priate musical background as the colorful storybook
characters twirled from the portals of the imagination
onto Punahou's Dillingham Hall stage on the nights of
April 20th and 21st.

The tale originates when an old miser, Barney
O ’Flynn, plots to drown his niece and nephew, Jane and
Alan, in an attempt to steal their inheritance. While thus
plotting he connives also with the Widow Piper, offer­
ing to give her his cottage rent free to house her seven­
teen children if she will persuade her daughter, Con­
trary Mary, to marry him.

His plan is foiled when Jane and Alan escape their
fate and return home dressed as gypsies. Barnaby then
engages a sea-going ruffian, Gonzorgo, and his simple-
minded partner, Roderigo, to lure them into the Spider
Forest. Meanwhile, Mary, who loves Alan, leaves for
Toyland to escape the event of her marriage to the
straight-laced unsmiling Barnaby. Tom, her brother,
is in love with Jane and decides that he will seek her in
the most probable location, Toyland.

Both couples are reunited in this magic land, but
not until the audience is treated to many side-splitting
laughs over the antics of Gonzorgo, Roderigo, and
Inspector Marmaduke of the Toyland Detectives. The

R oderigo and G onzorgo step o ff to the execution.

latter had been engaged by Burnaby and the Widow Sister C leophas and stage crew help b rin g M o th e r Goose
Piper to find Mary. The whole is a fascinating chase Land to life .
as the characters play a game of wild masquerade.

As the Toymaker’s delightful toys came to life, the
magic of Toyland cast a spell on both the characters
and the audience. The dances were sparkling and per­
formed bewitchingly.

Credit is due to the performers: John Hickey who
was fabulously funny as Barnaby; Anna Marie Gossen
who was perfect as the Mother-Conspirer; Melvin Vios
and Dennis Siu who played their comic roles to the
hilt; Edwin Ferreira who delivered a bleatingly funny
portrayal of Inspector Marmaduke; Arnold Kidder, the
lovable Master ■Toymaker and his faithful servant,
Grumio who was Ronald Young; and last but not least
to the foursome, Gloria Bonilla, Thaddeus Kwaitkowski,
Beverly Shinnick, and Terry Chuck who sensitively por­
trayed the two lovelorn couples.

We were privileged to have with us again, our able
director, Mr. Fred Meyers, from whom each received
invaluable assistance in the interpretation of his lines.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pimental, Sister Cleophas and a
staff of talented propmen constructed a cinemascope
backdrop which played up the scenes and delighted
the imagination.

With Sister Marie Assunta and Pauline De Silva as
choreographers, Sisters Ana Doloritas and Christina
Francis as choral directors, Sister Joseph Maureen as
director of "between-the-acts” Victor Herbert favorites,
and Sister Virginia Therese as the planner of it all,
"Babes in Toyland” was a smashing success.

the reception line, while Jeanette Lum distributed dainty
"bouquet” souvenirs to all.

Beverly Shinnick, coronation directress, made this
intermission ceremony the highlight of the evening.

At midnight with the appropriate "Moonlight Sere­

For you a Lri

The strains of familiar and well-loved hymns
to the Blessed Virgin echoed through the campus
as the Maryknoll students opened their hearts and
minds to Mary on May Day. It was a happy Tues­
day for all—especially for those students who were
privileged to place upon her statue garlands of
flowers in behalf of their class.

Throughout the day, the campus was possessed
of a lovely fragrance—that which can issue only
from Hawaii’s sweetest and loveliest flowers—the
pikake, orchid, plumeria, and carnation—all there
for Our Lady.

The final decoration applied to Mary’s feastday
cake was a sparkling cosmopolitan program pre­
sented by various groups while the golden sun
smiled its approval on a lovely manifestation of
devotion and respect for the Mother of us all.

jStairttiag to the ©tars Our "Jolly Junior” Prom, held at the
Ala Wai Clubhouse on May 11, was a treasured
evening for all the couples who were present
at this gala event. Silhouette couples in night’s
sable skirt fringed with light danced to the
entertaining music of the Orchettes.

Intermission was a "tasty” break! Varia­
tion of cookies and refreshing punch drew con­
tented smiles and second servings.

At that time Betty Manzano and Billy
Matthews were crowned King and Queen of
their junior promenade. Their accompanying
court were: Jerome Silva, Gloria Bonilla, Ken­
neth Funakoshi, Myrna Pasion, Burton Lee, and
Connie Ganade. Betty'and Billy made a hand­
some couple as they waltzed to the royal spe­

cialty "If”.
The clever ideas of the prom committee

turned the clubhouse into a star-spangled ball­
room by using "Stairway to the Stars” as their
theme. Prom commmitteemen included Michael

Patricia Dwyer, Dolores Lariosa, Ronald Ohira

and Stephen Hao. Hats off, to the committee
who helped make it an entertaining and me­

All school activity was suspended on October 26th,
27th and 28th, while halos were polished to gleaming
perfection, gowns donned, spiritual reading texts dusted
and angel wings taken "out of mothballs’’ for our annual
three-day retreat. This year the retreat-master was Father
John Stankard, M.M., pastor of Sacred Heart Church. His
inspiring talks, combined with his ability to cast a bit of
humor throughout the wide range of subjects, helped to
make this one of the best retreats we ever had.

He proved to be understanding, generous with his
helpful advice, and a good listener, too, for a steady stream
of students knocked on his door for personal interviews
between conferences. Each day began with Holy Mass at
Sacred Heart Church and ended with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament in Rogers Hall in the afternoon.

The Papal Blessing, carrying with it a plenary in­
dulgence and the supreme gift of sanctifying grace, brought
the wonderful retreat to a close.

It was December 18 and the beginning of
vacation. At 8:30 the student body assembled at
Sacred Heart Church for the faculty’s gift—a
Missa Cantata sung by the Sisters. After Mass
everyone remained in Church to complete the
ninth and final day of the Christmas novena,
which had been offered for our parents.

Later, all attended a special Christmas pro­
gram, which the Glee Club opened with a spirited
presentation of the Christmas favorite, "We Wish
You A Merry Christmas.’’ As their harmonious
rendition of "Winter Wonderland’’ ended, petite
senior dancers glided through a "Skater’s Waltz.”
This picturesque ballet in sparkling white cap­
tivated the audience and preceded the singing of
carols by all under the direction of Miss Josephine
Kohler. Surprisingly, the accompanist was our
principal, whose flying fingers kept the congre­
gation in tune. An inspiring Yuletide play, in
which a little shepherd boy, Michael Taparra
beheld the first glorious Christmas was the next
number. The story included a solo ballet by Mer-
rilee Barkus and a Nativity tableau by the Seniors.

As the curtains descended, Student Council
president Herbert Kiyabu distributed gifts to
Sisters Rose Agnes and Virginia Therese and
Fathers John Stankard and Joseph Avery. Then
each class returned to its homeroom, where the
pupils received bundles of cards and presents.
