2/24/2025 FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS...

How much do you know about our school's history? Well, you're in luck. Here's a link that will take you back in time to the roots of Hilo's impressive and interesting Catholic history. Catholicism is one of several belief systems woven into Hawai`i's multicultral fabric of Aloha.

2/24/2025 CLASS OF '62 QUIZ

It's been a long time since we all took a high school quiz. Here's a brain teaser:

Can you match the face to the "facts"? In the Class of 1962's Yearbook, under each photo was a statement that referred to the classmate's persona. Ever wondered if we ever lived up to our high school persona? Place a check mark next to your choice, then check your answers by clicking the "ANSWERS" link at the end of the quiz. [We can already hear the giggling. LOL!]

#1 - "Loyal ever, a heart of gold."

PAMELA TULANG?

OR

VELMA REZENTES?

#2 - "Bashful in society, elusive on the court."

PATRICK PAVAO?

OR

JOSEPH PAU?

The Name That Counts

Jeanette De Aguiar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard I. De Aguiar, resides at Nohea Street. She has attended St. Joseph's School since the first grade. Being dependable and having a winning personality, puts "Jay" (as she is often called) on top with the class. Her achievements are numerable.

After finishing the eighth grade, Jeanette was awarded a scholarship for high school. She has maintained this scholarship by being on the honor roll consistently. Her 3 3/4 year average is 90%.

This is her ninth year in Girl Scouting. She has held the offices of Treasurer and President and this year received the Marian Award--the highest possible for a Catholic Girl Scout.

Jeanette is Student Body Secretary. She was also a homeroom representative during her Sophomore year. Throughout her years in high school, she has held various positions in homeroom. PAAC has kept her busy in keeping up with the current problems for three years.

On the Lumen Staff Jeanette has been a reporter and layout editor. She is also a member of the yearbook staff.

She sang with the Special Choir for two years and now holds the office of Vice-president of the Senior Sodality. Jeanette was one of the five who represented St. Joseph's this year at the BIASC in Wailuku.

Her future hope lies in being a registered nurse. She plans to attend St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing in Honolulu.

The newsletter is supported by voluntary help for its stories and content. We are not employed or compensated by the school or its staff. We are an all-volunteer handful of classmates trying to keep other classmates informed by sharing news and information. Your comments (and news reports) are always welcome.

Our intention is not to offend anyone. The idea is to keep everyone connected and informed. Hopefully, we bring smiles and some good memories.

Speaking of memories, we try to proof all of the content; however, some errors do slip through so don't get mad.

We cover news, information, and general articles of interest in regard to the St. Joseph's High School classes of 1962 and 1963, although other classes are more than welcome to post information in the newsletter. To request a posting, E-mail the Editor (Likeke).
