KS Class of 1950 Visits the School Archives

December 3, 2015

Members of the Kamehameha Schools class of 1950 recently paid a visit to the KS Archives in Midkiff Learning Center on the Kapālama campus.

Archivist Stacy Naipo showed them interesting items from the school’s history and encouraged the alumni to share their memories of their time as students at Kamehameha. She shared a journal entry that her father had written while he was student, about a certain young lady that he admired. The personal story revealed details of life at Kamehameha and the way that people thought and lived in the 40s and 50s.

KS photographer Michael Young captured their trip down memory lane.
