Well, here I go again.
I recently posted the class photo from my kindergarten class at Punahou School back in the early 1950s.
Here’s a follow-up with my 1st grade class. We were a bunch of pretty cute kids!
And, as with the previous photo, my mother’s typed class list, carefully stored away so that I could “discover” it a lifetime later.
Kahala Elementary School opened the following year just a short distance from our home, and I transferred there for the balance of my elementary school years. I’ve previously posted most of those class photos. I’ll look for the links and add them here later.

Classic old-school picture. Very cool.
Would the Lowell Angell who’s standing next to you in the picture be the theater historian who co-founded the Hawaii Theatre Centre and wrote the book “Theatres of Hawaii”? Their pictures kind of match. Anybody else we should recognize?
Is Doug Miske in the first row (looking like a punk in the making) by any chance related to the felon Miske you write so much about??
That would be too rich, if so.
Ditto.
Wow! Talk about a unexpected “walk down Memory Lane!”
I think I have the fewest teeth of anyone in that picture!
I was sent the photo without seeing your blog and I was still able to identify everyone in it (although a couple with first names only).
To answer John Swindle’s question, yes, I am indeed one and the same!
(and I still have more teeth now than then lol).
Ian, who was your Kindergarten teacher? Mine was Miss/(Mrs) Baird. I’ll have to check out that photo you posted. I wonder if you and I would recognize one another. — it’s only been 65 years lol!
Mahalo and Aloha, Lowell
