At this year’s 75th Anniversary of Lanai High School, the class of 1959 was well represented by Janet Anbe Otani, Pedring Dugay, Joanna Endrina Timbreza,  Hilton Lui, Marjorie Morita Asato,  Leatrice Nobui Suzuki, Roy Okamoto, Richard Sabino, Harry Yamatsuka, and Apolonia Agonoy Stice.  As Juan Degamo stated on the social media we were the only ‘50s class marching in the parade around Dole Park.  Our class theme was “We Remember” in which we honored and remembered our 11 classmates who have passed away.  Many of the spectators expressed their sentiments that we had 8×10 photo/posters of our dear friends.  It was a touching moment that we recalled Asuncion Bertomen Nakooka, Pearl Fuchigami, Katherine Higa Uchino, Randolph Iona, June Joyce Jamero Babayan, Harry Lee, Ruth Morimoto Pang, Ted Nakafuji,  Gloria Jean Trugillo Fortuna, Edward Yara, and Jean Yokoyama.  (At the 100th Anniversary we will honor the classmate(s) who will be present!)

Several gatherings were held during the week.  Lea hosted an evening at her home, Apol prepared a luncheon after the parade at her home and on Sunday the  classmates and their spouses enjoyed a farewell brunch at the Manele Golf Clubhouse.

Many memories and laughter were shared during these brief days on Lanai.  We had hope for more classmates to join us but all who couldn’t attend were with us in spirit.Class of 1959
