Doreen Nalaielua Araujo. If anyone is missing, e kala mai. The memory is overloaded. Our photographer Jimmy Aarona will have you in his photos of the class. With reunion’s end, we again thank all those who helped and participated in Alumni Week and class activities. As your class representative, I can’t express enough my aloha to all of you for being a part of our reunion celebration. As time marches on, we realize just how much we mean to each other. Mark June 2005 on your calendars for our 40th reunion – it will be a highlight in your life. Stay in touch. – Donna Lei Smythe ’65
’70
KS CLASS OF 1970 The Class of 1970 celebrated its 30th reunion enjoying Alumni Week activities and three class events. On Saturday about 45 people gathered for a kick-off breakfast at Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch, and Crab restaurant. The next day, and throughout the week, classmates, spouses and friends checked in to Lunalilo and ÿIolani dormitories. On Tuesday night, a busload of celebrants headed to the Hyatt Regency’s Texas Rock ‘n Roll Sushi Bar, where the group had front row seats for entertainment by “Bubber Soul,” Hawaii’s authentic Beatles band. At Thursday’s Talent Night our rendition of “I.M.U.A.,” sung to the tune of “Y.M.C.A.,” won Best Contemporary award as well as Best Overall. Special recognition goes to Gaylyn Cathcart Kauleinamoku, Alyssa Brown Braffith, Wanda Fountain Moa and Noella Kong who brainstormed and rewrote the lyrics. On Friday, about 35 classmates “chased the tiny white ball” at Leilehua Golf Course, thanks to arrangements made by Curt Lam Ho. That evening more than 140 classmates and guests arrived by private bus at the Kähala Mandarin Hotel for an enchanted evening in the hotel’s oceanside ballroom.
