My 7th grade class photo. Fall of 1959 or Spring of 1960.
How in the world do I find these things? Frankly, I don’t know. I scanned this at some point and just ran into it again last night.
The year before–which happened to be the year Hawaii became a state–I graduated from the 6th grade at Kahala Elementary School. When September 1959 rolled around, I started the new year at UHS.
What I remember most about the transition is that we had to wear shoes every day for 7th grade. That was a shock, and I remember being very upset about it.
If you haven’t figured it out, that’s me in the middle of the back row.

I just love the crinolines those girls are wearing under their dresses! Such memories!
It was difficult identifying you in the photo. I was looking for a 7th grader with a beard.
I had the same reaction to having to wear shoes when starting at UHS after graduating from Manoa school. Discovered I had to wear glasses too. Ugh.
