They belong to the Class of ’62.

We are still angelic. We all joined the choir so we didn't have to attend religion class.

Iolani no ka oe!
Wow. That's a memory! I directed this choir - and the band - from 1960 - 63. I predict that every one of these guys became GOVERNOR OF HAWAII. This great school has come a long way! (Conroy, they weren't really that angelic).
