This a~ticle written.' by an unspoken admir er of our organiza tion evolves around a personali ty of whom many of our club mem bel'S have no conception of the laborious tasks performed so un­selfishly. The devotion to duty to provide support to our well­rounded club activities are very seldom recognized. Ferhaps, some of you lit~rally have noticed the work being done by this per­son, but gave little thought and must have regarded her as a fre ­quent figure around our club. I have had the oppOrtunity of being tutored under her guidance for 6 months and have realized what it takes to be a perfectionist. This,

' to my dismay, can only be accomp l1shed by proper ~idance and an interest and desire to perfect a group of amatuers. The person I 3lll referring to is none other

Chorus Director of Club 100. ELIEN, we salute you and c an only say MAHAI.O for the wonderful KOKlJA and INSPIRATION you have given us.

To enumerate some of her accomplish I1Elnt 5, the wonderful musical pro gram you have "Witnessed during our ANNUAL LUAU" the superb memo­rial Day Prog.'I.'am , and again, the joyous musical entertairumnt you were provided with during our En Christmas Party--all are attri­buted to the unselfish hours spent every Thursday nighli by Ellen and her conscient irus Stucl6il'h r., and of course, OUT fait~~ ~ ~1an1st, MlSS SUE MASA'l'S'"JGU.

As we realize some at: these hidden accomplishments, it should occur to us that we have no grounds to gripe when given an assigIlD'Bnt or duty to perform, if others can so generru sly gI. ve their time and effort for the benefit of our club.

Just :0 prove this moot poi nt in ~estion, not knowing th at any meet ing of any R:1od' had been soheduled, I went down to the olubhouse to have a meeting with Bob Kadowaki end his inoo ming offioers on Deoember 29, to discuss Baker plans o Bob Sakoki called regarding Apartment Build ing Project, and was induoed to come down also.

The Installation Oommittee had also called a meeting and it was in full progress, being oonducted by Kengo Mi yan 0 , chair man, replacing Bernard Akamine bound for Arizona on an insuran oe convention~ Mike Miyake was present as n member of the com mittee:

After the busina ss had been all taken up 1'0 r the night by all parties, and Bakerites had all joined forces, the question of a NIJIKAI was brought up, as per "custom".

Oyabun (DO) suggested a new plaoe in Waikiki, the AUGUST MOON for this snaok-time--a few before goi~ home for the eve­ing.

Surprisingly, unexp:lcted -4-

We bwnped into (or was it vioe versa, we don't know?) a member of Club 100, Roy Nakada, now residing 10 Okinawa and having the unofficial title or "Mayor of Okinawa18 • That was itl And time stood still--as reminisoenoe blossomed. And a short NIJIKAI ended up with us olosing up the joint. Follow 1ng which, found us looking for a breakfast spot-- on a Weekday night at that too ! 10)1 being closed, we ended up at the KC Drive-In for Breakfast at 2 AM.

Two days prior--Sunday evening, on the 27th of Decem ber, after the Baseball meeting, HK, Oyabun 0, and myself visit ed the same AUGUST MOON for a snack. Since only Oaybun was 10 a drinking mood, this ND"I KAI ended up at an early hour to permit us to be home and in bed by midnight.

On January 3rd the sa.roo trio went to the clubhouse to bang out the baseball rules and reuglations am. Whatnots . HK joined us later that night.

Being stymied by the sche dule, it was decided that HK and HK will take home the sche dule for "homework" and wi th that we looked for a saimin stand for a NIJIKAI.

Beoause Sekiyats was clo sed, we settled f or tl:e Kala kaua ani King Sa1m1n Stand.

It was only 7 months ago that our (0 mmittee members first got together to map out plans to utilize the vacant club pro­perty and to put it to sone pro­ductive use in order to ease our financial position in tre future.

YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT, BUT it take s roughly $12,000 to $13,000 annually to ope rate our Club . Our annual defici t bas been approximately $5,000 for the calendar year 1958 and this condition will exist for some time into 1959.

Realizing this Situation, the committee decided to look into the possi bUit y of building a sizeable apartnent unit, that once it is paid for, will help

your 1959 officers; Mits Fukuda, Tommy Nishioka, Seie Oshiro, and John Sakaki.

For the past several years now, our Bakerite Gounsins have been enjoying the enviable posi tion of being the most active Chapter at meetings and other­wise. They should be congratu lated, und more power to them.

There is nothing in the books that says Able Gh~ter can not attain that position. Poten tially, we have it, as can be seen by the results of the va­rious money mrucing projects, as well as other projects. Ticket sales and man-power help in past projects prove that your spirit is still ther e "lhen c '.llled upon.

We have fallen nd fallen badly on attendance at Gh~ter meetings. ThiS, then, is our biggest project for the year-­increased attendance and more active participation. Surroun ding this pro ject, we have many activities and ideas lined up

on January 21st, all committee chairmen and officers will have gotten together at a special meeting and tm program for the year should be pretty well set, A complete program will be mailed to you.

We also hope to five our telephone call system back in operation far our Febru.:1ry meet ing. With his experience and organizational ability, I have asked Naoji Yamagata to head til Able program committee, who ill turn has lined up some very in teresting and worthwhile activ1 ties for you nembers and your fnmilies o

1959 is Saburo Hasegawa of Pepe ekeo vIDo works out at Pepeekeo Sugar Co , a company that t s pre tty much in the rews the se days.

Of him, Yasu Iwasaki refers to as Sa-bu-RO as though calling out to a brother samurai to come to the rescue.

Jimmy Lovell has learned to call him Sa-B.1-ro in a manner of endearment following Saburot s valiant 'R) rk spearheading the 'lURN-oUT-FOR-TURNER BOOSTERS t CLUB here in the last election.

OURS sound like SAFfORO, what with too many Japanese bath houses on our minds. But by whatever acoent he' s called by, good old HA-SE is the man who will spark the PEP in rejuvena­ting the club iillL959 .

His assistants, all of them who---ltave yet to touch a drop of Geritol will be:

Vice-P Kazunobu Yamamoto Sec Joe Yamauchi Treas Hiroo (Fbrky) Furuya Dir Shigeru Ushijima
