School Spirit in Yesteryears
This photo was published in the ‘Iolani School Bulletin winter 1966 issue following a successful 1965 football season. The photo caption read: “The Class of ’66 scored early on Thanksgiving Day by flying a helicopter into Honolulu Stadium. The football team, most of whom were surprised by the stunt, took the advice to heart and dumped Punahou 20-6.”
Back in 1965, there was no Aloha Stadium.
Games were played in the Honolulu Stadium on the King Street, a mere 15 minute walk from ‘Iolani’s campus. The Interscholastic League of Honolulu included ten schools (Farrington, Kaimuki, Kalani, McKinley, Roosevelt, ‘Iolani, Damien, Kamehameha, Punahou and St. Louis.)
