COVER

Ke Ali’i Pauahi beckons us to follow

SHORT TAKES

Kamehameha Secondary School was named “Cool School of the Month”in Teen People magazine’s September issue.

Two separate feature stories on Kapua Medeiros’ ‘99 “Best inCategory” – i.e., best in the world – showing at the Intel™ InternationalScience and Engineering Fair appeared in Honolulu and Island Businessmagazines. Also featured in Island Business’ October issue was a coverstory devoted to Maui Mayor James “Kimo” Apana ’80.

The Presidential Award for Excellence in mathematics and scienceteaching honored four Hawaiÿi teachers in 1999. One of them wasKamehameha Elementary School teacher Bev Kutsunai, whose innovativeteaching tools have included “Family Science Night” – a jammed-to-the-rafters, fun-for-the-whole-family event now in its second year at KES.

Aloha käkou,

In recent months we have engaged in an institution-wide strategic planning process that has analyzedKamehameha Schools Bishop Estate from every conceivable angle. In this process we have assessedboth our internal and external environments, goals and expectations, as well as the realities andlimitations – physical, fiscal and regulatory – of our resources.

This process arose from what is known as “Stipulation No. 13: Strategic Planning Shall BeImplemented.” This court order – emerging from the October 2, 1998 Stipulations Concerning the Master’sRecommendations and Order – directed that the project develop an educational plan in conjunction withan investment plan that will serve to successfully attain our educational goals while insuring theperpetual mandate of the Trust.

At the outset of this strategic planning effort, we requested input from key KSBE resources – ourfaculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, and various Hawaiian organizations. In the months that havefollowed, the grand Hawaiian traditions of kökua and laulima have risen to meet our great challenge.Persons from every walk of life with every imaginable association with this historic institution havecome forward with overwhelmingly positive, creative, thoughtful considerations and ideas to share, tooffer, and to weave into the tapestry of KSBE’s bright future.

Together we have identified and reemphasized the strategic issues that impact our mission, vision,values, and goals. Together, we have reached some consensus on the fundamental challenges facing ourmandates, educational programs, support services, costs, financing, organization, and management.

Now, with this first phase of planning underway, we will finish gathering the data and begin toformulate our overall strategy for bringing our educational and endowment plan into balance. And, wewill continue to share our work with you as you have so openly and graciously shared your manaÿowith us. For there are few things so true as the concepts found within this timeless Hawaiian proverb:ÿAÿohe hana nui ke alu ÿia – No task is too big when done together by all.

I Mua Kamehameha!

Nathan T. K. AipaActing Chief Operating Officer

Aloha KSBE ÿOhana,

Like the 1999 year, the information gathering phase of KSBE’s strategic planningprocess is winding down. By the end of January, we will have received input from our staff and faculty, parents, students, alumni and the broader community regardingKSBE’s educational role in developing and maintaining a thriving Hawaiiancommunity.

The amount of input we’ve received in the last two months is staggering.Hundreds of people have contributed their thoughts via our informational meetings,focus groups, our KSBE website, surveys, telephone hot-line, fax, e-mail and snail mail.

At first glance, the comments we received cover a broad spectrum of educationalneeds. However, as we analyze the feedback as well as other educational assessments,we will crystalize a vision for how KSBE will position its educational efforts to havethe greatest impact on Hawaiians in the next century.

A draft of the resulting strategic plan will be shared in the coming months. If youhave shared your mana‘o with us, mahalo. If you have not, but would like to, pleasedon’t hesitate to visit our Strategic Planning website at www.ksbe.edu, e-mail us atksbeplan@ksbe.edu, fax us at (808) 842-8170, write to KS Strategic Planning, 1887Makuakäne Street, Honolulu, HI 96817, or call the toll-free Strategic Planning Hotlineat 1(877) KS-KOKUA (575-6582). We value your input in this important process.

Me ke aloha pumehana,

Michael J. Chun, Ph.D.President

Writing the Of some 19th century lives, grainy daguerreotypeportraiture is all that remains of once-living, once-vitalbeings. Every family has them. Faded picturestreasured by those whose lives were somehowaffected, somehow determined, somehow influencedby persons whose images now age into silver nitratephantoms of their souls.

Ke Aliÿi Pauahi is not among these.

Ke Aliÿi Pauahi is profoundly alive today. She lives within thehearts, minds and good works of thousands of students andgraduates of Kamehameha Schools who are today joining withfaculty, staff and the larger Hawaiian community to affect thehistory of our future.

As Trustee Constance Lau, Acting Chief Operating Officer(ACOO) Nathan Aipa, and Dr. Michael Chun, president ofKamehameha Schools, unveiled KSBE’s plan for strategic planning,our extended ÿohana are meeting, deliberating, questioning, sharingmanaÿo, and helping gather data for the purpose of charting thefuture of Kamehameha Schools Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate.

“We’re not starting from ground zero,” Aipa said recentlyduring a staff planning presentation. “There are certain funda-mentals and milestones that have been established by the Board of Trustees and have already been approved by the Court. This

strategic planning process now underway will help us get closer toour vision, our ideal of reaching more and more students ofHawaiian ancestry, while protecting the endowment in perpetuity.”

Decreed by Probate Court order of October 2, 1998 – entitledStipulation No. 13: Strategic Planning Shall Be Implemented [see pg. 7]–the strategic planning process started in October 1999.

The strategic plans – both educational and endowment (asset)planning – are governed by and responsible to several mandates or“givens.” First, the Will of Ke Aliÿi Pauahi will remain the frameworkfor the planning goals. Second, the educational mission of the Trustrequires that all plans proceed from the fundamental concept thatthe Trust was established to exist forever. Third, fiscal responsibilitymeans that all plans must evolve within a responsible allocation offunds based on the income of the Trust. And, fourth, as mandated byStipulation No. 13, that strategic plans will exist in a constant state ofreview and refinement through continuous input and re-evaluationby our KSBE ÿohana.

“Strategic plans for Kamehameha have been formulated regular-ly throughout its history,” comments Dr. Michael Chun. “They haveresulted in many innovations, including early education researchand services, community partnerships, federal grants, college finan-cial aid and neighbor island schools. However, there are many moreHawaiian educational needs that are not being met. Of those, wewant to identify and prioritize the needs that Kamehameha can best address.”

KSBE’s strategic planning process will be discussed in an on-going series of staff and public meetings presented by ACOO Aipaand Dr. Chun. The data will be assessed and the initial strategyformulated from the information gathered. In spring, the next stage will constitute a time to review and adopt a Strategic Planincorporating both educational and endowment aspects of KSBE.Finally, operational and organizational action plans will be fine-tuned and implemented.

The decision-making process for strategic planning will itselfproceed inclusively. Staff will form their one-year action plans andgoals through shared knowledge and expertise. Five-year tacticalplans will flow from this foundation in support of KSBE’s longer-term strategic plans. Trustees will then evaluate the success of thestrategies based on the mandates, goals, and 20- to 50-year visionfor this institution.

Then it will begin again. Assessment and reassessment of theplan will be ongoing. For only in this way might KSBE steadily seekbetter and more efficient ways to maximize our educationalcommitment and operational integrity.

Gazing upon the century-old image of Ke Aliÿi Pauahi that graces I MUA’s cover, her eyes seem to beckon us to follow her into thenext thousand years. It’s as if she’s asking each and every one of usto play our parts in perpetuating her living legacy – to guide andsuggest; to commit and to give; to evaluate and re-evaluate – andtogether, through an evolving strategic planning process, to writethe history of our future.

get closer to our vision”

On August 23, over 3,000 students arrived atKamehameha Schools’ campuses for the start of a new school year. That same day on Maui, 152 students embarked on their first school yearat the first permanent Kamehameha Schools’campus on a neighbor island – the brand new100-acre Maui Campus at Pukalani.

During the dedication ceremony,Kamehameha Schools’ Chaplain Kahu DavidKaupu ’51 explained that the campus is locatedin the ahupua‘a known as ‘A‘apueo (valiant owl).

Plans for the school started four years ago,and the site for the campus was set by 1996.Phase I of campus construction hosts four opera-tional buildings and a gatehouse–a total of sevenbuildings will be completed within the next year– on 15 acres of current construction, which todayserves kindergarten through sixth grade students.According to KSBE projections, the cost of theentire Phase I construction is about $15 million.By next year, in Phase II, the campus will beextended to include facilities to accommodategrades seven and eight. According to Dr. MichaelChun ’61, president of Kamehameha Schools,there is a possibility that the campus couldexpand to serve high school students as well.

THE DEDICATION CEREMONY

Although classes started on August 23, August 30was chosen for the campus dedication. A puleoffered by Kahu Kekapa Lee ’64, pastor of WaiolaChurch in Lahaina, began the ceremony. After the students sang the Doxology, Maui campusPrincipal Mrs. Cordy MacLaughlin spoke abouthow excited she was to see Kamehameha Schoolsexpand to Maui.

“The new school is an extension of Pauahi’slegacy on Maui,” said Mrs. MacLaughlin. “I enjoybeing the principal of this new campus because I get to see our students grow educationally,culturally, and spiritually.”

Following Mrs. MacLaughlin’s remarks,speeches were given by Dr. Chun, as well as byInterim Trustee Admiral Robert Kihune ’55.Next, the students sang “Pauahi Nona ka Lei,”and a dedication chant was offered by kumu hulaHökülani Holt-Padilla ’69. Kahu Kalani Wong’74, pastor of Wailuku’s ‘Iao CongregationalChurch, officially blessed the school. A ceremo-nial untying of a maile lei and ho‘okupufollowed. Kahu Kaupu then delivered his closingthoughts, followed by the students singing“Kaulana nä Pua” and “Sons of Hawai‘i.”

STUDENTS AND PARENTS

When the crowd was dismissed, the studentsreturned to their classrooms for lunch. Thespacious classrooms had all the furnishings of a typical elementary classroom on the Kapälamacampus. Students in third grade teacher Mrs. Lois Nishikawa’s class said that they liked theeducation they were receiving from strict, butgood teachers. They also mentioned that this was the “best school on Maui,” and that they arevery appreciative of Pauahi because “she gave us everything.”

“I like making friends here, and I amthankful for the opportunity I have to come here,because I can learn here better than at any otherschool,” said third grader Amber Leigh Pavao.

The students’ parents were also present atthis dedication ceremony. These parents expressedtheir gratitude for an exquisite Maui campus andfor the many educational opportunities thatKamehameha offers to their children.

“Kamehameha offers so much educationallyto the students,” said third grade parent JoyceAloy. “I also like the ‘ohana atmosphere here andthe closeness of the staff, students, and parents.Expanding campuses to the neighbor islands is awonderful idea, because the schools are able toservice more Hawaiian children.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

It is not clear at this writing whether or not moreschools will be built on other neighbor islands,but Dr. Chun said that there are definite plans forthe completion of a permanent campus in Kea‘auwithin the next two years. He added that withother campuses available, more students couldbenefit from the legacy of Pauahi.

“It is very exciting that we have startedexpanding with the establishment of the newschool on Maui,” said Dr. Chun. “This is onlypart of the long-term strategy to extend our ser-vices to Hawaiian youth throughout the state.”

At Konia, Princess Sayako visited SenseiJunko Lowry’s 8th period Japanese languageclass, clearly impressed by the students’ ability to converse in her native tongue. She went fromdesk to desk. She marveled at our studentswriting e-mail to Okinawan pen pals in kanji(modern Japanese characters) on their computers.

“She showed such interest in the students,”said Junko. “The children spoke to her inJapanese and some English,” said Junko. “I hadto help a few of them, they were a little nervous.”

The end of this magical meeting of two royalheritages came when her Royal Highness wasescorted back to Puna Gate.

In her time on campus, she giftedKamehameha with a book of poetry that hadbeen translated into English by her mother, theEmpress Michiko. In turn, Princess Sayako wasgifted with an album of poetry, good wishes, andprayers for the children of Japan, written by ourstudents. “I will always treasure this,” thePrincess said.

With Kamehameha, Princess Sayako sharedthe legacy of Japan’s royal heritage dating, indirect line, from the first emperor Jimmu (660-585BC) to her father, Akihito, the 125th reigningemperor (1989-present), and an appreciation foryoung people and education. From Kamehameha,

IT’S NOT EVERYDAY THAT A PRINCESS VISITS

During the reign of the Meiji emperor (1868-1912), the people of Japan began an arduousjourney into modern nationhood. Reforms,including compulsory education, were soon wellunder way. Historians mark the transitional yearas 1885. In that same year, on another islandthousands of miles distant, a group of men –trustees of the will of another royal – began theirarduous journey to establish a modern education-al institution. Within two years, KamehamehaSchools opened its doors.

Two royal lines separated by geography,culture, and history – yet unusually parallel – metthis past September when Her Royal HighnessPrincess Sayako, the 30-year-old only daughter ofEmperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan,asked to spend part of her tightly-scheduledisland holiday paying her respects to the livinglegacy of a Hawaiian princess, Ke Aliÿi Pauahi.

The diminutive, soft-spoken Princess Sayakowas obviously taken with her Kamehamehawelcome.

An oli kahea announced her arrival. Duringthe chant, the royal entourage was escorted fromcurbside to the ceremony site, where she metTrustee Robert Kihune ’55, Dr. Michael Chun’61, Principal Tony Ramos ’58, and Student BodyPresident T. J. Auld ’00. A chant and dance ofwelcome performed by the students, under thedirection of Randie Fong ’78, greeted her. Herresponse was warm and receptive. She showedgenuine interest.

Although her scheduled visit allowed foronly a five-minute tour of the Chapel and theHeritage Center, the princess respectfullyremoved her shoes, stepped into slippers and,escorted by Dr. Chun, explored Pauahi’smemorabilia for an extended 15 minutes.

She took great interest in those gathered tomeet her, especially the students, pausing tospeak to them as they gathered in a semi-circlearound her.

The Princess’ entourage then proceeded toKonia Circle, where students jammed thehallways, peeking through the portals as politelyas possible to glimpse a princess.

“Students lined up at Konia and above,”said Ramos, “on the länai, along driveways, andwaved to her as she came onto campus. Shedemonstrated such dignity and our studentsresponded in kind.” She didn’t disappoint. Shesmiled and waved back.

she received the aloha of another living royallegacy, the children of Ke Aliÿi Pauahi who soappreciated her visit.

Ask anyone who saw her, who heard herspeak, who experienced this special moment inour history. You’ll hear the same endearingadjectives rush forth that have followed herthroughout her visit to our islands – “warm, soft spoken, genuine, humble, interested, anddignified.”

It was quite a day. As student Zuri Aki ’00put it, “It’s not every day that a princess visitsthis school.” It wasn’t an ordinary day forPrincess Sayako either. She left Kapälama behindschedule.

“They were, in fact, co-leaders of anintellectual, financial and spiritual enterprisethat left behind one of the nation’s richest,most powerful and lasting educationalenterprises, the Bishop Estate/KamehamehaSchools [sic].”

– Jerry Burris, The Honolulu Advertiser April 11, 1999

Defining a style of leadership that hasprofoundly affected institutions in the pastand could do much to influence them today,Co-Leaders: The Power of Great Partnerships,written by Honolulu resident and CampbellEstate Trustee David A. Heenan and USCProfessor of Business Administration WarrenBennis, uses as a prime example of co-leadersthe life’s work and legacy of Ke Aliÿi Pauahiand Charles Reed Bishop.

In Burris’ review of the work, he states:“…Bernice Pauahi Bishop and Charles ReedBishop were far more than leader andfollower, or even husband and wife…

“Pauahi’s vision for her people and herfortune married perfectly with Bishop’s driveto achieve financial stability, his skills andmanagement and his fierce determination tofollow through on the dream of his royalwife.”

Each complete listing in theBiographical Section will include home addressand names of spouse and children (if applicable)as well as business and professional information.Each name will also appear in four other sections

of our directory: class year, geographic location,career networking and e-mail address (when avail-able). Alumni will even be able to locate classmateslisted under their current name, as well as the name they used as a student, i.e., maiden name. In addition, the directory will contain a specialhistorical overview of Kamehameha Schools BishopEstate – reviewing our past even as we prepare forthe exciting future of our illustrious alma mater.

Compiling an up-to-date alumni directory is a massive undertaking and APAC and HarrisPublishing will need your kökua to make it possi-ble. Important information about our compilationprocess and a questionnaire will be mailed to allgraduates in the very near future. So, keep your eye on the mail!

In the meantime, we’re in preparation for theyear 2000. We extend to all of you, warm wishes fora bright and merry holiday season abounding withgood cheer, fellowship and joy.

I entered Kamehameha in 1927 from my home in Waimea,Hawaiÿi. In those days, I used totravel to and from Honolulu onthe Parker Ranch cattle boat,Humuÿula, sleeping out on thedeck. On my vacations home I worked in the Parker Ranchstore, and it was through thatconnection that I later got cabinaccommodations rather thanhaving to sleep on the deck.

After vacation holidays,when it was time to return to Oÿahu, I refused to goback to school because I would be so homesick.However, on returning, I found my name on the honorroll, which came with certain perks, so I decided to stayon as a student. Beyond a doubt, that was one of thebest decisions I ever made.

Memories are still vivid of the days spent as astudent at Kamehameha. We lived in dormitories B and D on the Bishop Museum grounds where everymorning we awoke to the sound of the bugle call. Wewould exercise outside our dormitory, freshen up, sitfor breakfast, and then attend half-hour classes. Duringdinner, we would have poi every day. For seconds, wewould go back into the kitchen to refill our plates.

I remember Kaläkaua School was allcanefield, and we would harvest the cropand take it to the plantation. We weretrained to be good farmers. There was adairy and piggery nearby. Students learnedto milk cows and raise pigs to kälua for afuture lüÿau. Every week a group ofstudents went out to what is now HawaiÿiKai to work in the vegetable gardens.

Sometimes we would plant trees, just as we did in thenearby hills behind the school.

I remember singing at Song Contest in the early1930s. It was a much smaller event then but winningwas a major goal. Alas, to our dismay, our class neverwon – but we did receive the loudest applause. And I remember when being a KSB cadet meant attending a school with high standards and a special kind of pride. I remember being a member of the Kodak Club at Kamehameha, taking and developing photosof student activities. A highlight of my years atKamehameha was winning the Harvard Book Award,which was given to the junior student with the highestgrade point average. Along with the award came $50from Trustee William Williamson. Back in 1932, $50was a significant amount of money. My chosen fieldwas business and as a student I remember workingpart-time at Lewers and Cooke. When I graduated in1933, it was at the height of the depression. HonoluluCity and County Auditor, and former KamehamehaSchools Purchasing Agent, Edwin P. Murray offeredme a job as a messenger in the county’s auditingdepartment. My years at Kamehameha prepared mefor a 38-year career as Senior Fiscal Analyst with theCity and County of Honolulu. Kamehameha lives onin my heart forever.

– Nip Akona ’33

Today, Nip and his wife Kathryn live in Honolulu. In earlier years Nip was an avid swimmer, diver, and surfer.Among his beach buddies he was known as “Squid Eye,”because of his keen ability to find squid. Since his days inKamehameha’s Kodak Club, photography has been anavocation of Nip’s which he and Kathryn have put to gooduse on their world travels.
