"To you our loyal hearts we bring,
M aryknoll, our Maryknoll.
Thy fame shall through the ages ring,
Maryknoll, our Maryknoll . . ”

The Maryknoll Pledge

Withing the portals of our Maryknoll School
A glorious company of student youth,
We pledge ourselves to Maryknoll, and swear
To obey her rules as if obeying Christ;
To give respect to,— nay to reverence those
Who come to teach us in the name of Christ
The ones who love and lead and guide us through the years.

Qur Maryknoll

W e’ll uphold your colors by our loyalty,
W e’ll cooperate with you whate’er the cost may be,
W e’ll keep your name above reproach by purity,
W e’ll blaze your name by little acts of courtesy,
W e’ll proudly uphold the traditions of our dear maroon and gold.

Dedication

"Thou art a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.

To you, O Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Light, ive, the class
of ’50 dedicate this Tribute— a worthy tribute, we hope, to the
memorable days we have lived here at Maryknoll and which we
shall relive and cherish in the years that lie ahead.

Since we, the youth of today, are the leaders of tomorrow
let your light shine through us that it may penetrate the darkness
in which so much of our world is groping.

Illumine our paths and if through human frailty ive stumble
and fall, may that same light energize us to rise quickly and per­
severe until we reach our eternal goal.

My dear Graduates:

Soon the portals of your Alma Mater

will close behind you; your High School
education is drawing to a close and you
are about to enter upon your chosen

careers. You will be entering into a world

where you must of necessity mingle with

youths whose education has been warped
by false standards. Through no fault of
their own they had no Lady of Light to

guide them.
The tragedy of it all is that these un­

fortunate youths, with great enthusiasm,
worked and suffered for nothing worth­
while. For did not Our Lady of Light’s
Son say, 'without Me you can do noth­
ing?” Therefore, nothing meritorious has

been gained from that work.
These youths, of whom I speak, who

have been without this Light, present a
challenge and a glorious opportunity. A
challenge: will their ideas or yours suc­
ceed in fashioning the world of tomor­
row? A glorious opportunity for you to
bring them to a knowledge and love of
Our Lady of Light; that through know­
ledge of her, they may know Christ, her
Son. Through love for Our Lady of Light

they may love Christ, her Son. And
finally through this knowledge and love
may they serve both Our Lady of Light,
and Christ, Her Divine Son.

You have chosen Mary, Queen of Light

to guide your steps all through life. You
can have no better, no more loving guide

HITi.s E„xcellency M. . ost RDev. JTames Jt. cSweeney, iD-,.tDv. than she rprovided y3ou follow her foot-
steps carefully and unhesitantly. Often
you will be tempted to branch off from

the path she follows. Don’t yield. Hers is the only path that leads to peace and happiness. To follow
any other path will bring you to sorrow, unhappiness and final separation from the God Who created
you. No harm can ever touch you if you follow closely Mary, Queen of Light, our loving Mother and

Protectress.
All this you have been fortunate enough to learn because your parents and teachers have placed

you under the guidance and protection of Our Lady of Light. Do not fail them. Do not disappoint them.

Because for you they have sacrificed much.
Be, therefore, because of your Catholic education a credit to God, to Our Lady of Light, to yqur

country, to your community, to your parents and last but not least, to your Alma Mater.

Faithfully yours,

James J. Sweeney
Bishop of Honolulu

Father Burke

Succeeding Father Ruppert is the ever friendly Father Burke. Rev. Martin E. Burke, M.M.
Father came to the United States in 1912 from his native Ireland
and entered Maryknoll in 1920. He received his S.T.B. degree
from the Catholic University of America in 1928 and was ordained
a year later.

Father’s first assignment was to Kongmoon, South China where
he labored zealously with the natives for a period of ten years.
Returning on furlough in 1939 he was reassigned to work with
the Chinese communities in New York, Washington, Cleveland
and Chicago.

S'.

Father comes to us as Mission Superior of the Maryknoll Fathers
in the Hawaiian Islands. Would his progress be from island to
: island— Ireland to Hawaii— with a big jump in between? Re-
’ gardless, we’re mighty glad to have you on our Island now, Father
; Burke!

Father McDonald

Hail to Father John H. McDonald, new Superintendent of
Catholic Schools in Hawaii. He succeeds Father Charles S. Gienger
who established the office of school superintendent in these Islands
and who returned to his San Francisco diocese in December, 1949-
Born in Minnesota, Father’s boyhood was lived in Colorado.

He received his LL.B. at Catholic University in Washington in
1936. In the latter part of that year Father McDonald entered
the St. Mary Novitiate of the Marist Fathers in New York. After
his ordination in June 1943, he was assigned first to St. Paul’s
Parish and then placed in charge of the Marist College in Atlanta,
Georgia; later he was given charge of a Novitiate in Washington,
D.C., and finally assigned to Hawaii Nei.

Although Father has served in this latest office of Catholic
Schools Superintendent for only a year, his kindly, generous serv­
ices have been those of a veteran. Say we Knollers: "Welcome
in our midst, Father McDonald!”

Rev. George C. Powers, M.M.
Pastor of Sacred Heart Church

Dear Graduates of 1950:
When you heard so many well deserved compliments betowed on your immediate predecessors—

the Class of '49— you must have felt that I would have none left for you. But just as sincerely and
gladly l now express my civn deep appreciation and that of all the faculty for what you have given to
Maryknoll, paiticularly during this past year. I know that I do not need to detail this to any extent, for it
is sufficient to generalize by saying that you have generously given service of self under God for others
and that your own fine example has served to stimulate further the fine spirit of Maryknoll.

You have received a precious heritage from the classes that have graduated before you and it is a
great consolation for us to realize that you in turn have added your portion to it.

Of course I do not need to remind you of what Maryknoll has given to you. By your fine response
to opportunities offered during your school years here at Alaryknoll you have shown a ready understanding
and appreciation of that. But 1 do want very much, on the occasion of your graduation to point out how
well you have carried on the traditional formula of Maryknoll: work, as though all depended on yoti and
pray as though all depended on God.

And 1 know that you will carry this formula into your future life. God kindly keeps the future from
us that we may face it with greater strength through complete trust in Him. So let your future be closely
integrated with God. And in the years to come may our dear Lord keep you close to His Sacred Heart
and may Out Blessed Mother keep her protective mantle about you.

Sincerely yours in Christ
George C. Powers, M.M.

Hold thy lighted lamp on high,
Be a star in Someone’s sky.

It’s not only in every place that begins with a "c” such

place and at every function where there are Maryknoll stu­
dents. To these men whose lives are dedicated to carry the
Light of Truth to all men, we Knollers acknowledge a great
debt of gratitude.

For many years, through the long winter months when
the temperature fell far below zero, Father J. Michael Henry
traveled over the ice-bound roads of Manchuria to give the
Light of Faith to souls still in the darkness of unbelief. Dur­
ing the war, Father was interned for a year, repatriated, and
re-assigned this year to our Sacred Heart Parish.

"Put Maryknoll on top!” This spirit comes to us through
another malihini, our good friend Father Maurath. Even
though he’s from Missouri, we’ve succeeded in "showing”
him beauty in these Islands such as he formerly thought
must be found only in Heaven. Father Maurath’s Religion
classes are something out of this world—i.e., they make us
realize something of the happiness that awaits us in the next.

No one has ever heard Father Boglarsky sing, (though
he has an exceptionally fine voice) "Oh how I wish again,
that I was in Michigan”, his native State. That may be be­
cause we keep him in a state of perpetual motion with our
constant "will you’s”. As school Chaplain, he offers the Holy
Sacrifice daily in our Chapel, and officiates at our other re­
ligious services. Sports have climbed to a new high under
his directorship— but they have not quite reached the top
notch of his own popularity with every last one of us.

Assisting Father Boglarsky with sports and in many other
ways by which we benefit is the ever dependable Brother
Robert. W hat would we do without him? W e’d rather not
try to figure out that one.

Brother Robert displays the latest in Father Maurath, enlightening the Sophomores.

Sister enlightens me as to the maze that is
Shakespeare’s language and the puzzle that

pathway through school years. Sister’s justice
is tempered by the flame of love for me
which I know, in some way, is a reflection
of her love of God. This recognition makes
me glow with the sense of my dignity and

Student Council

Maryknoll’s active student government centers
about the Student Council this year, under the
iron-hand of president Stanley Sasaki with his
hardworking assistants, Robert Maehara, vice-
president; Katherine Shigeta, secretary; Alfred
Neves, treasurer; and with the wise Council
Adviser, Sister Miriam Therese.

For the purpose of promoting friendly relation­
ships among the new students and the old-timers,
the Council dug into their bag of tricks and pulled
out a successful Acquaintance Dance which also
served to initiate social activities for the school
year.

The Student Council did much to create a gen­
uine spirit of Christian gratitude at Thanksgiving
time. It was at their suggestion that on the morn­
ing of the day itself a large representation from
each class attended Mass in a body to give thanks
to the Giver of all good things and to pray for
our beloved country; each class prepared baskets
of food and sweets which were delivered to needy
families. In December a similar project was car­
ried out by the school, and food baskets, plus
clothing, were delivered on Christmas Eve.

Kuhio’s Birthday, March 27th, gave the school
a holiday and the Council injected the pep that
made the students make merry for the day at
Manners Beach.

officers, Marian, Vernon, Roger and Yolanda. Marion Petrous aided by Vernon Young, vice-

their first year in high school a happy and treasured
memory.

Tracking down the violators of school regula­
tions, and defending the innocent from question­
able accusations were just some of the countless
duties of the ever righteous student councillors of
Freshman A: Charlotte Soares, Winona Rodri­
gues, Juliette Shea and Marian Petrous.

Though lacking in serious mein, these Freshies
soon showed that they could buckle down to hard
work. The baffling equations of Algebra, the
mysteries of Biology, the heated English debates
and the confusing cases of Latin and Spanish were
tackled— and downed deep in their memories.

their first class assembly— "The Christ Child Came
for All” dramatized for an appreciative audience
of upper classmen. Vernon Garcia, Loretta Ho,
Veronica Sylvester, Gladys Wong and Thelma
Carabello played the major roles.

Of course, the Freshmen occasionally put aside
their heavy load of studies
and replaced it with the
lighter social impedimenta.
One such instance, their
Class dance held at Bachelot
Hall. Blue and white made
a picturesque color scheme
that night. World famous

Window-display of class officers: Jules, Charlotte, Hoe, treasurer; and Student Councillors Dixielee
Wanda, and Lawrence. Cruze, Richard Beam, Jules Martin and Eugene
Buffandeau, these active Freshies gained a live-
20 wire reputation.

Their first real experience as social-bugs began
when they transformed Bachelot Hall into a Hal­
lowe’en nightmare, using black cats with gleam­
ing green eyes, jack-o’-lanterns with toothless
smiles, hideous-looking witches and scare-crows,
orange and black streamers streaming all over the
place. In such a setting the dance was bound to
be a howling success. It was!

In November, Thanksgiving baskets were plan­
ned, made up and sent to needy families. Canned
goods, all kinds of fruits and nuts, and some
luxuries needed for a gala Thanksgiving dinner
were generously contributed.

At Christmas, the basket idea was repeated,
with toys and clothing added.

Freshman B How jolly to volley— when you’re a Freshie.

Besides their participation in Glee Club, Choir
and Sports these carefree neophytes gave serious
thought to lighting up their minds. The dissect­
ing of frogs, worms, starfish; and the pronuncia­
tion of "Polymorphanuclecite” and such like made
work for many a Biology scholar. Algebraic x’s,
Latin and Spanish tenses all were solved or con­
quered before the curtain call. At first, similes
and metaphors proved as appalling as a tidal wave
but after awhile they were as easily distinguishable
as an elf and an elephant.

Picks, trowels and shovels were put to use as
the Freshies dug and spaded in an effort to beau­
tify that portion of the campus allotted to their
care.

Blue and white colors flashed in and out of all
fourteen classrooms at the end of every period on
Freshman B's first Class day. Their play in the
afternoon and dance at night will be hard to im­
prove upon in future years.

matured Sophs as they assumed a grown-up air

With Rachel Santos as president, aided by the
helping hand of Howard Uyehara, vice-president;
Anastacia Cablay, secretary; and Nani Lee, treas­
urer; the Sophs went sky-high in everything they
undertook. The four overpowering councillors,
Rachel Santos, Anastacia Cablay, Nani Lee and
Gwendolyn Shirai, kept the school rules and reg­
ulations well enforced by reminding their subjects
of loose-hanging ties, unbuttoned collar buttons,
white shoes dyed by Mother Nature, and unna­
tural lip coloring.

their flashy red and white shirts and dresses. Their

Sophomore A

With sides splitting, jaws aching and cheeks be­
dewed with laughing tears the jam-packed audi­
ence burst into continuous ha ha's and ho ho’s as
Richard Sakakihara, Michael Taam, and Lorena
Murakami made the comedy a roaring success.
The lilting voices of Mildred Awana, Beverly
Choy and Catherine Pinho gave their listeners
time to recover from hysteria as they crooned
semi-popular tunes, with Rhoda Wong at the key­
board. Highlighting this eventful day was the
annual class dance held at Bachelot Hall. During
an intermission the much publicized Mystery
Man”, Milo Lum, was introduced to the curious
student body.

Participating in the various activities, these wise
young men and women truly demonstrated their
unwavering school spirit.

Carrying their lamps of knowledge with them
these second year Knollers are enthusiastically
looking forward to a jolly year as Juniors.

Juniurs

After many weeks of hectic preparation the
Juniors on their class day, gaily decked out in
class colors, yellow and white, gave their play;
another milestone successfully crossed. Amid all
this however, there was still time for lots of hard
studying which showed in the number on the
Honor Roll each term. Not to be forgotten was
attendance at daily Mass and countless visits to
the Chapel where favors were asked for guidance,
inspiration and courage.

In the Junior class also were the talented bal­

Leona Grahm and Edith Yukumoto as well as the
practical jokester Edgar Oblauskii.

A. S. M. I

The A.S.M., organized for the purpose of maintaining Top: Ballroom Ronald, or just the
a lasting athletic program for the school, has contri­ ball-man?
buted vastly toward good sportsmanship and a greater
enrichment of high school life. A vital part of Mary- Center: "How about more inter-class
knoll’s intramural competition, the Associated Students games?” asks our Reverend Director.
of Maryknoll, with Father James Boglarsky as athletic
director, and Sister Rose Eileen as girls’ adviser, handles
the necessary plans, arrangements, and schedules for the
various games. This group also has in their charge the
purchase, care, and periodic inventory of the sports
equipment and accessories used on the campus.

This year, the A.S.M. started off by abandoning the
system of student delegates, which heretofore permit­
ted only Seniors to represent the student body. By
reverting to the plan originally made by Brother Adrian
several years ago, the A.S.M. has again opened its doors
to underclassmen. In accordance with this regulation,
the student representation now consists of three boys
and three girls selected from the entire student body.
The representatives, chosen by a vote of the student
councillors and class officers, were, for the past year, as
follows: Joe Kalaukoa and James Tom, Seniors; Dorin-
da Chang and Marjorie Wong, Juniors; Mary Helen
Tom and Ronald Martin, Sophomores.

With the completion of the high-school basketball,
volleyball, and tennis courts late in January, the A.S.M.
was able to expand its interclass sports program. Some
other forms of campus recreation this year for which
A.S.M. was largely responsible, were softball and horse­
shoes; the latter was especially popular after it made
its first appearance on the school grounds in the fall.

"Just another inch, Blackie,"
begs Marjorie.

Football

The boys in the maroon and gold opened the season this

year by topping Kaimuki 12-0, inspite of strong opposition

on the part of the Bulldogs. In the second quarter, James

Jarrett ran the ball 15 yards for a Spartan touchdown.

Though the Kaimuki team managed to come dangerously

was in full swing; quarterback John Cruze

made a 25 yard pass to Gilbert Wong, who

the second half. They scored their seven points only a
few minutes before the close of the game.

Equally exciting but rather disappointing was the
afternoon when the Spartans met the Punahou team on
Alexander field. With the approach of the last quarter,
the game seemed settled in favor of the Buff and Blues.
In this period, Joe Kalaukoa took the ball 70 yards
down the field into the Puns’ end zone, thus chalking
up six points for the Maryknoll eleven.

The determined lads in Maroon and Gold made an
especially fine showing against the St. Louis team who
attempted four times— in vain—to push the ball, resting
on the Spartan one-yard line, across the big white line
at the Maryknoll end of the field. Gilbert Wong ran
an intercepted ball 30 yards to the Saints’ ten yard line,
where he later called to Rodney Chock, who took the
ball across the goal line, scoring the first Spartan touch­
down of the game.

Bidding farewell to Alma Mater this year are: Gil­
bert Wong, Albert Lum, Joe Kalaukoa, Richard Yana-
gawa and James Tom, all of whom will be greatly
missed.

Even though the number of defeats far outweighs
the victories, the team refuses to be downed. "Watch

line-up, the Knollers Hashed through the court in their maroon
and gold outfits, sinking the egg from all sides. Supporting
team mates, Thomas Tam, Sidney Lindo, and Donald Chang
also boosted the scoring power of the team.

Although the boys emerged victorious only once, most of
their games were short of victory by a mere point or two. Spur­
red on by Coach A1 Espinda’s "Okay, boys, get in there and do
vour stuff,” the Spartans never faltered for a moment but played
with grit to the bitter end.

Father Boglarsky’s hearty "T-E-A-M, yea team,” constantly
reminded the faithful rooters to back their maroon and gold.
Not only were these undying voices rhythmical and forceful
but an inspiration, as well, for the boys to keep plugging until
the last blast of the whistle.

With the newly paved high
school courts constantly buzzing
with activity, it is quite evident
that next year will see a fine turn­
out of veteran stars, with the ex­
ception of Thomas Tam, senior,
whose fancy shots sometimes left
the spectators yell-less with ad­
miration.

After the organization of Inter-
Class Basketball even some of the
onlookers were able to learn the
art of juggling the ball. Many of
the girls, too, showed promise of
starring in the future. Bernadette
Kalaukoa, Claire Chong, Mary
Helen Tom, Mona Ann Chock,
Elaine Young, and Marjorie
Wong were some of the energetic
lassies most frequently seen pivot­
ing on the court.

Because Maryknoll is not yet in the Senior

League and can supply only a limited number
of uniforms, it was necessary to turn down eleven
good prospects. It fell to Father Boglarsky to con­
sole them with the promise of an engagement as

soon as possible.
The Spartans are anticipating, with mingled

feelings of hope and anxiety, their first game
which will be played on April 1, (no foolrn!).
For precision their teamwork would put any good

adjusting to school life after a restful summer
vacation. Then out of a blue Monday, May Kaya- May Kayahara,
hara, our Editor-in-chief, called a general meeting
at which the entire staff agreed unanimously that Editor-in-Chief. X-
our annual would be the book, if not, "the book
of the year” selection. With this mighty ambition,
we set to work. In meeting after meeting, we
groped through darkest mental caverns, finally
emerging with Light as the 1950 Tribute theme.

Make-up Editor, Mae Hadano, measured, erased
and pasted; Literary Editor, Lenore Fong, scribbled
and wore out several editions of Webster; Art
Editor, Joseph Kalaukoa, submitted lamp after
lamp, before he got one to light in the minds of
the critics. Caption Editor, Marian Ferreira, made
pictures tell tales in school and out of school;
Sports Editors, Irene Chang and Clifford Vierra
tackled their job vigorously and strained to make
end-runs; while Photography Editors, Thomas Tam
and Herbert Pang stood on their heads, hands and
feet to induce people to say "cheese” so often that
they even dreamed the proverbial chedden night­
mares. Ah! after weeks of exhausting the "gray
matter,” the rough copy and the sketches were
finished and ready to be handed in to our ex­
pectant Literary Advisor, Sister Rose de Lourdes.

Co-Editors Claire Chong and Elaine Young strained to
make headlines meet deadlines. News Editor Florence
Miyashiro kept us well informed with official reports from
Sister Miriam Therese while her ever alert reporters scoop­
ed in all campus cavortings and chatter. Jean Lum edited
clever features and kept Knollers in tune with the latest
fads and fashions of Maryknoll. Sports Editors, Dorinda
Chang and Wendelin Chock brought topics of current
interest to football, basketball and baseball fans as well as
to devotees of ping pong and horseshoe throws.

Ingenious cartoons dropping from the pen of Art and
Make-up Editor, Juliet Kiyabu livened up the paper—
made it talk and laugh out loud.

court scene of Queen Liliuokalani, as in the days of old.

The presentation of leis by the pageant queen to the guests,
Father Martin J. Burke, newly arrived Maryknoll Mission

the afternoon. W ith the singing of "Hawaii Ponoi” and

After an exhilirating round of square-dancing, Joseph Ka-

At ten-thirty, tired but happy Knollers headed for home,
there to indulge in that time-honored habit of hitting the hay.
