Well the big weekend has come and gone, but what a weekend it was! Many thanks to the organizers for making our 20th reunion a memorable one. Although we'll all get together again in 5 or 10 years, keep in touch! In the meantime this blog will stay here and will continue to welcome your contributions. Aloha!

Punahou Bulletin: Class of '89 farewell

The first issue of the Punahou Bulletin after our graduation featured a nice article about our class. Click the images for readable versions.

Graduation Night

It's hard to believe that graduation night was just over half our lifetimes ago. I depressed myself the other day when I realized we've lived to be 18 twice. Michelle Wie wasn't even born until after we graduated. And now we're closer to 50 than we are to 21. Sorry.

Below are our announcement, program and the invitation on behalf of our parents to attend a chaperoned post-graduation event. Click on the images to enlarge.

Baccalaureate

This pre-graduation ceremony required that we dress up in our graduation garb (gotta love those thickly striped buff and blue ties) and sing a few songs.

Senior Chapel

Do you remember this event? I sure don't. I was happy to re-discover it when I stumbled across this program.

Senior Skip Day

Although "Skip" Day was actually a bogus organized and supervised event, it still was a welcomed day away from classes. We were given these booklets to collect written memories from friends.

Ka Punahou

Although I wasn't involved in the school newspaper, I managed to save around 90% of all Ka Punahous that were printed while we were in high school (I know, I have a problem).

Throughout this archive I added a number of relevant photos and articles that may have otherwise been forgotten by time.

In the 5/26/89 issue of Ka Punahou (high school newspaper), some of you were interviewed to discuss feelings about graduating and "senior slump."
