We had to carry our gasmasks to school through 1944 . At leasst
once a year everybody had to walk, with their masks on, through a temporary
shack filled with tear gas to check if they leaked. This is a photo
of my family in early 1943. |
In the sixth grade we all walked to the Aiea pool to learn to swim,
or improve our swimming skills if we already knew. The pool was located
close to where Aiea High School is now located. This is a photo
of another class, probably in 1951. The swimmers look much as we
did then. |
The front of Aiea Elementary and Intermediate School, probably close
to 1 May 1952. Room 6, one of the first grade classrooms in 1942-43,
is at middle-right, obscured by the crowd. In the 7th and 8th grades
(1948-1949, 1949-50), trumpet players from the band played the bugle every
day for raising and lowering the flag, standing at the entrance to the
main office at the right end of the walk in the picture. A May Day
program ("May Day is lei day in Hawaii.."), which included maypole dances
and hulas, was performed at the beginning of each May in the front of the
school. |
