MARYKNOLL— A TRUE FAMILY TRADITION
Noblesse Oblige
This fall, Karly Peacock will enter the sixth grade (Class of 2025) at Maryknoll School and will be the fourth generation of the Enos/Nobrega Family to become part of the Maryknoll Ohana. When Vivian Enos Nobrega graduated from Maryknoll in 1937 the school was just 10 years old, the campus was comprised of the old wooden buildings on the Wilder Street campus near the church and her class was the third graduating class. There were 19 students in her graduating class. The Class of 2018 had 136. For the Enos family it was the start of a Maryknoll family that will be at least four generations strong. That family includes: Vivian Enos Nobrega ‘37 Vivian’s brothers: Harold Enos ’39, Edward Enos ’38, Wilfred Enos ’42, and another brother, Walter, attended Maryknoll for a time. Vivian’s daughters: Barbara Akau ’61, Kathleen Stillwell ’62, Jacqueline O’Shea ’64 Vivian’s grandson: Anthony Julian ‘82 Vivian’s granddaughter: Krystin Julian Peacock ‘85
A NEWSLETTER FOR THE ALUMNI OF MARYKNOLL SCHOOL
Vivian’s nieces: Sr. Diane Enos ’62, Gayle Enos Torres ’65 Vivian’s grandnieces: Stacy Torres ’87, Kellie Torres Harris ‘93 Vivian’s grandnephew: Jon Torres ‘86 A lot has changed at Maryknoll since Vivian graduated, of course, but the spirit of the school remains strong. “We are all very proud to be graduates of Maryknoll,” said Barbara Akau. “The school and its teachers have provided a great education in a nurturing environment where we were also able to learn more about our Catholic faith.” “We all have fond memories of going to school at Maryknoll. The friendships we made there carry on today. We often get together with classmates when they visit even though we may not have been close in high school. The MHS Spartan bond transcends time. “We also have fun memories being involved in school activities and sports. “I am overjoyed and proud that Karly will be able to carry on the tradition being a fourth generation to attend Maryknoll. I am happy that my granddaughter will be able to enjoy the Maryknoll experience like we did.
“When I attended her interview, I literally got choked up just walking on the campus. So many amazing memories came back to me like it was yesterday. It’s so exciting for our family!” Karly is looking forward to the drama and theater opportunities at Maryknoll. She currently takes gymnastics at Hawaiian Island Twisters and has cheered for the Pop Warner Football League. “The Nobrega Family is a true example of the Maryknoll community,” said Shana Tong, Maryknoll vice president of academic affairs. “The legacy of this family represents generations of Maryknollers who embrace the Maryknoll spirit. It is a tribute to what makes Maryknoll special. Families like this bring to mind our alma mater, “To you our loyal hearts we bring Maryknoll, our Maryknoll Thy fame shall through the ages ring Maryknoll, our Maryknoll.” We are grateful for families who continue the Maryknoll legacy through their loyalty. The Maryknoll spirit is alive and well!”
Welcome, Karly, to the Maryknoll Ohana!
