We, the class of 1958 would like to dedicate this year's annual to our efficient and hardworking secretary, Mrs. Ethel Ujiie. She has been a wonderfully devoted secretary in the year she has been here at Kaunoa School . Her hard work and cheerfulness has helped to make this annual possible.
I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the members of the Canetop staff who helped make this annual possible. They are: Linda Chong Kee, Gail Fujimoto, Joan Takitani, Lorraine Shibuya, Kim von Tempsky, Linda Milligan, Brenda Gall, Linda Webb, Patsy Matsui, Stephanie Okada, Marilyn Wick, Anne Haywood, Jamie Anderson, and Charlene Leong.
Thanks also goes to Mrs. Priest and Mrs. Ujiie.

We certainly hope we who have been at Kaunoa for eight years have
welcomed our classmates and friends from Spreckelsville School.
Although we do not have time to look through the records for our
class history and the class history of the Spreckelsville pupils,
we can give you a glimpse of it through memory.
First Grade - Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Beale
Second Grade - Mrs. Rego, Mrs. Susu-Mago
Third Grade - Mrs. Doty, Mrs. Hasse
Fourth Grade - Mrs. Enos, Miss Kirk
Fifth Grade - Mrs. Lillie, Mrs. Skinner, Mr. Merriles

excelling abilities only accomplished by eighth graders. We sincerely

This is the year 1968
We board the S.S. Kaunoa at our modern and luxurious harbor at
Kahului. Amid the hubbub we are welcomed aboard by stewards Robert
L. and Brian J. O. In a farewell to poor ole Pete B., who has
just undergone surgery for a broken collar bone, we toss our beautiful
kiawe bean leis into the foaming ocean. Oh, oh, here comes Dr.
Meyer U. dragging Pete back to his hospital bed.
The Dr. is assisted by a staff of pretty nurses. They are Esther,
Sandra C., Yvonne D., and Winona O.
We hear the whistling of the whistle and leave the dock with a
spurt, sputter and a roar. Our curiosity leads us to the engine
room to see who our captain is. He's none other than our already
seasick friend, Pedro S. He's assisted by his equally seasick
friend, Kent C. We chat with them for a while until we smell something
burning.
We rush frantically around to find the source. Oh, no, it's only
Craig Y. and Ronald I., our chefs cooking our dinner. After discovering
our dinner consists of kim chee, daikon, kalua dog, and Chinese
1,000-year-old eggs, we leave, never to return for our yummy dinner.
We finally arrive at Los Angeles and are greeted by a welcoming
committee. They are our old friends Mercedes R., Carol O., Joan
T., Manuel M., and Patrick Y. We board a hydro-powered automobile
designed by Kim. We always thought he was thinking under water.
We're driven to the extravagant Hoo Bally Hoo Hotel. Tao W. registers
us and calls our bellgirls Mary V., Carilina T., and Wendy C.
They take us to our room, No. 13, on the thirteenth floor. After
a recuperating period we leave the room to paint the town red.
Passing an open door we receive an aroma of moonshine. Peeking
in we see Sharon T., and Margaret B. feeling gay on Lucky Lager,
being dragged out by our big, strong bouncers Romulo D. and Kay
S. We try talking to them but they keep on insisting they see
pink elephants. Poor soulsl
Moving on, we're bumped into by Romeo, Ricky G., and Juliet, Marilyn
W . They're so engrossed in eactl other that we're unnoticed.
What's that racket? We look behind just in time to see Juliet,
Marilyn, bash Romeo, Ricky, on the head with her purse and stalk
off. Such is the fate of love. It never pays.
Passing the theater we hear a lot of racket going on. Curiosity
takes us in. We purchase our tickets from Dennis and are led to
our seats by Joyce and Brenda. Once inside we can easily understand
the racket. You know, there's a queer character by the name of
Elbis Prosley, or something like that. Well, the dodo goon was
trying to entertain some people on a surprise show. It was raining
tomatoes, shoes, eggs, and everything on the stage. So, we very
willingly joined them. After exhausting our coats and shoes, we
leave in disgust.
Outside, we come upon Eloise trying to peddle her popcorn. W e
buy a bag and find out it tastes something like cod-liver oil.
No wonder, she used her own recipe!
Oh! Ohl We have to hurry if we're to make the movie studio on
time. They agreed to let us come and watch the movie "The
Black Monster" being filmed. Look who's acting as the monster!
It's Wally! Sure fits the description. Co-starring with him is
Stephanie Y. Others in the cast are as follows: Monster's accomplices,
Linda M., Charlotte, Aileen, and Leslie. Monster's girlfriends
are Linda W., Judy and Patsy T. Policemen, Bobby and Clayton,
and the monster's victims (Elvis' fans) Audrey, Patty, and Patsy
M. The monster and his accomplices succeed in devouring their
victims and the police stand by laughing. Wonderful ending!!!
Leaving the studio we notice that the streets are unusually empty.
No wonder, that famous singer and actor is putting on a show.
Of course, it couldn't be anyone else except Pat Boone. The whole
city is at the theater so we decide to join them. Look who else
is here! Charlene and Elona. After the show everyone walks out
dreamy-eyed and happy.
We decide to pay a visit to Pat Boone. Look who's here chatting
with Mrs. Boone! It's Gail and Sharon. Always yakking... There's
Stephanie G, and Lorraine. They vowed that they would some day
work for him. Here comes Pat. We call him over and he willingly
autographs our books and invites us in. Gee! The Boone's have
been nice but we must leave. We bid them aloha with our opus stuffed
with Mrs. Boone's cookies.
Hurrying through the crowded streets we push our way to Hollywood
Park where they're having a he-man beauty contest. Taking out
our binoculars we recognize some of the contestants as Joseph,
Gary M., Jamie, Clifford, and Gordon. At the moment they're in
the bathing suit division and the winner is Willy. In the tuxedo
division Bill won. Our impartial judges are Suzie, Gary H., Jackie,
and Patty P.
"Hot Dogs, Hot Dogs"....German Sheperd, Terrior, Spitz,
etc., right off the stove. Hot Dogs! Step right up and get your
hot dogs!"
Who's making all that ruckus? Looking yonder we see Linda C. K.
selling hot dogs. And she used to love her pets so much.
There's a big crowd in front of the park entrance. We rush over
to find out what's happening. Sallie was demonstrating one of
her new inventions. It's a contraption which keeps your hair up
to style through the years after one treatment. Her first victims
are Clarita and Charlie. They emerge beautiful and proud.
We decide to leave the park and roam some more. We go about two
blocks when we come upon the Purple People Eaters, namely Jim,
Violeta, Anne, and Michael. They had one eye, one horn, and were
pigeon-toed and under-toed. We decided we'd better get out of
here, and fast!!!!
We also decide it's about time we start back to Kahului where
we're sure we'll be safe. Taking the fast way, we hail Darrell
who brings our uranium-powered carpet to us. Whoooosh! Wheeeee!
And we land safely at Kahului.
