Who’s

watching you? Digital privacy at ‘Iolani

By Matthew Beattie-Callahan

The expansion of the ‘Iolani iPad 1:1 initiative to the entire student body has caused major changes in the way students learn and complete their schoolwork.

But the iPads aren’t being used just for school work.

The wireless tablets are increasingly used by students for games, instant messaging, and other social media functions.

This mingling of social and academic activities raises a variety of questions by students, mainly about how much privacy they can expect while using the devices that are owned and managed by the school.

The scope of the school’s ability to monitor student’s digital activities is broad. School email is able to be searched and read. Web content filters on the school’s wireless network allow administrators to see students’ web history. Software on students’ iPads enable administrators to see student’s content, apps, and location.

However, school officials say these powers are rarely,

if ever, exercised and that the arrival of the iPad in 2013 hasn’t significantly increased what teachers know about the personal interactions of students.

Before the start of the school year, all students and parents were required to sign the Rules for the Use of Electronic Devices form in order for the student to receive an iPad. The form states: “An ‘Iolani email account is not the personal property of any student. The school reserves the right to monitor or read the contents for inappropriate language or information, threatening, obnoxious or demeaning comments, or any activity that is illegal.”

‘Iolani has had the ability to monitor internal emails since the system was created. “There isn’t a business or an institution that doesn’t have a policy like that,” said Dr. Timothy Cottrell, Head of School. “ I think that it’s a responsive policy, so that if there is some type of an issue, right, then email can be searched, the same way that a locker can be searched.”

Mr. Jim Crum, Director of Information Technology Services, said only one or two system administrators have access to student emails but added that the process to enter them is “cumbersome.”

Administrators simply don’t have the time or interest to randomly monitor student correspondence or web browsing, said Mr. Tate Brown, Dean of Students.

“It’s not something that we want to sit around and do,” he said. “I might imagine some scenario where we might have some kind of emergency or something like that, where you might want to do that, but I don’t even know how easy that is. So, no, it’s not something that we have someone sitting around reading emails, that’s not what the devices are about.”

Mr. Brown also said the school has “never been down that road” of reading students’ emails.

Raiders coming home... a month early!

By Riley Sakamoto

With the addition of St. Francis to the ILH, ‘Iolani has moved homecoming week a month earlier. The change in schedule resulted in revisions to the traditional homecoming week events.

In April, the student body was informed that Cheerfest would be canceled due to a significantly earlier homecoming date. “I was pretty disappointed,” says Albert Lee ‘16. “I think that Cheerfest brings the school together.”

Cheerfest was initially cancelled with the thought that each grade would not have enough time to prepare a cheer. After deliberation by the proconsuls and homecoming

Page 5

committee, the decision was made to reinstate Cheerfest into the lineup of activities. The solution was that each grade would have two cheer practices instead of the usual nine.

Students wondered what impact an early homecoming would have on other activities like dress days and lip sync. “Nothing will change,” says Mr. Kirk Uejio, Head of Student Activities. “The only big change is we are not having a K-12 kickoff assembly.” This will allow needed time for Cheerfest practices.

This past summer, the homecoming committee and proconsuls got to work, brainstorming ways to make homecoming fun for everyone. “How to do Cheerfest was

Page 3

the biggest issue,” says Sarah Duval ‘16, a homecoming co-chair. “That, and planning activities people would come to.” Due to the committee’s determination and hard work, not only is Cheerfest back, but a wide variety of lunch activities are planned as well. Students can enjoy activities like Seussical Trivia at the center courtyard, a “Royal Ball” in the lower gym, and a student vs. faculty Superhero Showdown.

Homecoming 2013 is set to be jam packed with fun, excitement, and most of all, spirit.

Support the Raiders as they take on Punahou on Saturday, September 28 at Kozuki Stadium. Kick off is at 2:30 P.M.

Digital privacy from page 2 With this year’s distribution of iPads to the entire student body, the Rules for the Use of Electronic Devices form also contained a new section which outlined the school’s monitoring powers on school iPads, “Furthermore, the school reserves the right to monitor and access all school issued iPads for inappropriate content, applications or other misuse.”

Each school iPad comes pre-installed with the program Casper Suite, produced by Jamf Software.

Concerns about the ability of this software to monitor student activities were first raised last year when, in a previous Imua ‘Iolani article, history teacher Mr. Josh Reppun was quoted as saying that

not approve of the idea of monitoring student location because they’re carrying their iPad.” Mr. Crum was asked about whether any of the data or location history from the iPad’s “Track my iPad” and GPS location systems were stored by the school. Mr. Crum responded, “Theoretically it’s possible, we don’t have any of that, that we have in place or implemented.” Mr. Crum went on to say that the bulk of Casper’s abilities are used to see drive space, utilization, applications, and to whom the iPad is registered.

Mr. Crum also said that as of now it’s impossible for the school, or any other party, to remotely access or turn on an iPad’s video or audio functions so that the tablet could be turned into an eavesdropping device.

When asked if there was any software in place that extended the school’s monitoring capabilities beyond what is allowed in Casper, Mr. Crum said the school’s web content filter system can track

the Casper Suite software could see the battery capacity, location, and content of each individual student’s iPad. He went on to jokingly caution the students during the iPad distribution that, “Big brother is now watching you.”

When asked about Mr. Reppun’s statements, Dr. Cottrell responded, “Yeah, I think it can monitor those things. I don’t think that the Big Brother analogy completely holds. You know it’s a school owned device so part of it is just the practical management of a distributed base of about I don’t know what we have these days, 2,400, 2,500 iPads out there.” Dr. Cottrell went on to say that with 2,500 iPads on campus, “Casper is first and foremost to manage the devices. It is not, you know, an active monitoring suite.”

As for the ability of the software to track a student’s location history, he said, “I certainly would

website visits by students.

When asked if the monitoring continued when students use their home or non-school wifi, Mr. Crum said that the content filtering system does not log activity; however, the activity logs on the iPad record device history and could potentially be accessed.

Mr. Russell Motter, a faculty member who played a key role in helping to craft the iPad 1:1 initiative, stressed that the purpose of the Casper software is to make iPad use practical and efficient, not to look over the shoulders of students.

“Now, is someone sitting in a little room and monitoring 2,000 monitors with everyone’s iPad on it? No. That’s not the way that it’s working,” he said. “Here’s what we’ve got to remember, Casper is mainly a management system, not a spying system.”

`Iolani’s new slam poetry club started off with a visit from an expert. Program Director of Youth Speaks Hawai’i, Sterling Higa, performed and hosted the first informational meeting during the second week of the school year. Higa is a nationally recognized slam poet.

He has competed in the Brave New Voices Youth Poetry Slam three times, the College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational two times, the Southern Fried Poetry Slam for the first time over the summer, and the National Poetry Slam three times. Over his years of experience, Higa has found he enjoys helping others find their voice.

“I actually like designing lesson plans,” Higa says, “ I still love writing and performing, but I’m really interested in using the spoken word and slam poetry as a teaching tool.”

Slam poetry is more than just reciting your poem to a bunch of people. It’s using expression, gestures, and especially your voice, to have the audience understand what you are trying to get across with your poem.

The Slam Poetry club and team, started by Ms. Michelle Knoetgen and Mr. Michael Among, is the latest club that allows student to express emotions and opinions through poetry. Similar to the Speech and Debate teams, the Slam Poetry club and team will compete the Interscholastic Teen Poetry Slam in November. Five students will be chosen to compete against other schools like Punahou. Higa is giving a four-week workshop for the Slam Poetry Club/Team to help inspire students.

“Listen first, then speak,” Higa advises, “ I’ve learned so much from listening intently to those around me. Everyone has something to teach, if you let them.”

Ross compared to ‘Iolani legend

Igber: A Raider role model ‘Iolani alum Joe Terhemen Igber was a star on the football field, but the ‘Iolani faculty members who knew him remember him as being an incredibly dedicated student and young man of character. He currently runs the Oakland, CA office of Ozeryansky Engineering, but his influence on his Alma Mater is still strong today.

By Ethan Vo

As the Hawai‘i high school football season kicks off, so does the buzz around ‘Iolani’s starting running back, Jordan Ross. The sophomore, racked up incredible stats in the first three games of the season, totaling 33 carries at an average of 11.6 yards per carry. Ross’ stats are so spectacular that he has already been compared to Joe Igber, a former ‘Iolani running back and graduate of 1999. Igber is Hawai‘i’s all-time leading rusher, setting state records with his 27 rushing touchdowns and 4,472 yards in his high school career.

On his comparison to Ross, Igber said via email, “Comparisons are a natural progression in this life, whether it be to a sophomore or to the President of the United States. I am grateful for being remembered in such a respectful manner. And as for the rushing statistics, let us please remember that at no moment was I on the field alone, many players, the names of which I can no longer remember myself, played an immense role in any statistic that I humbly received as a misrepresented personal achievement.”

For Ross, these comparative media stories are humbling. “I feel deeply honored to be compared to such a great and legendary running back. But I have a lot of work to do until I can truly be compared to the great man. He was awesome both on and off the field.”

Although Igber and Ross are known for their athletic ability, both are also known for their character. “So long Top: Joe Igber #12 as this young man keeps his self respect and respect for (Courtesy of Ka Mo’olelo O those around him, my records will pale in comparison Iolani) to his potential. The time is different and the sports Bottom: Jordan Ross #5 medicine has advanced tremendously since my time.

With hard work and a healthy portion of good luck, Jor(Couresty of John Tamanaha) dan should only regard the sky as his limit,” Igber said.

The person who stands as a bridge to the two players is Coach Wendell Look. “Joe was very fortunate to go through his career pretty much injury free. Jordan has a lot of challenges and obstacles that he has to overcome along the way, but like Joe said, ‘The sky is the limit.”

As for Ross, he is not focused on breaking Igber’s records as much as living up to the Raider creed. “My goal for the season is to have a positive impact on the team and win the championship again along with all of my teammates. I also thank Coach Look and all the other coaches for all their positive guidance. Also my teammates, family, and friends for all the added support! And as for the record, only time can tell, but at the moment I am completely humbled to even compared to such a great running back and person.”

After the varsity basketball team won the state championship that year, I remember Joe being interviewed on TV, and the interviewer asked him how the team was going to celebrate that night. Joe told her that he was going home to study! ­— Mr. Michael Park If Joe was not on the football field or in class, he could be found studying in the library.

Joe helped this boy adjust from the mainland to Honolulu, and he did it with such class and warmth.

A night in the lights: a dream come true

By Kevin Togami

I am one of the fifty-six players on the varsity roster ready to carry on the ‘Iolani legacy.

Game preparation for the 50th Father Bray Classic begins with all the players meeting at ‘Iolani for a meal. A prayer is said before we pile our plates with Mochiko chicken, ravioli, rice, and fruit. I sit down and chat with some of my teammates. The things we talk about don’t relate to football at all. Girls, jokes, video games, and social media are at the top of our conversations. The humor starts at the tables of the cafeteria, but it also ends there.

T-minus three hours till game time.

Once the cafeteria is cleaned up, my friends and I make our way to the football end zone nearest Diamond Head. The team huddles together for a chapel session. Captain Spencer Kiehmstarts the talk off by saying, “This is it, boys. The start of a brand new season is tonight. This field is where the heart of our efforts was laid out. The blood and sweat we have planted into the ground is for tonight. Let’s go out there and get a victory.” More seniors on the team share words of wisdom to the young players who have never played at such a big venue. Coach Look gives advice and inspiration, reminiscing about the times he played in the Father Bray Classic. After his speech, we end the chapel session with the Lord’s Prayer.

Before we walk back to the locker room, Coach Look gathers the team. He has a brown paper bag in his hand. “There’s tons of tradition that comes with being on this team. Not only

Photo courtesy of John Tamanaha will you be playing for yourself, but you will be playing for the past alumni and teams that came before you. Since this is the 50th Annual Father Bray Classic, we wanted to do something special, so I show you this,” Look says, as he pulls out a brand new throwback jersey, similar to the ones worn by the Iolani football team 50 years ago. There’s awe in the eyes of my teammates. “Those jerseys are sick,” Jase says to me. I nod in approval.

Before we leave the campus, the trainers stabilize my ankles by tightly wrapping them with long strips of tape. My head bobs up and down as I listen to “All of the Lights” by Kanye West. I armor up the lower half of my body with pads, socks, and shoes. I collect the rest of my game equipment and head out to the bus.

T-minus 1 hour till game time.

The team is sitting on the hard floor of the Aloha Stadium locker room. We all think about our contribution to the team

and our hopes for victory. A football flies around the room from player to player. Coach John enters ready to warm the team up for game time. We go through a couple of stretches before it is time to gear up. I feel like a knight preparing for a joust as I lock in my shoulder pads and strap on my helmet. I walk out the door and head toward the dark tunnel. I close my eyes and tell myself, “This is what I’ve been preparing for. For the past four hours. For the past three months of summer. For as long as I can remember.”

I listen to the soothing music of Iolani’s Alma Mater echo throughout the tunnel. A chill runs down my spine as the band begins to rock the arena with a high tempo song to welcome the `Iolani Raiders into the stadium. I take one step out of the tunnel onto the field and feel the energy of the crowd all around me. The smell of fresh air and the view of the heavenly stadium lights fuels my body. I love football. I love the atmosphere.

I love the lights. The night has only begun.

Heimerdinger staying on

By Matt Vinci

There has been a rumor going around school that Mr. Heimerdinger, a 26-year veteran Science teacher, may be retiring. “I do not plan on retiring this year, no,” he said. “I may retire after this year, but I haven’t made that decision yet.”

When asked, “When do you think you are going to retire?,” he said, “In a few years, less than five.” For students who do not know, Mrs. Heimerdinger, Mr. Heimerdinger’s wife, retired last year after 25 years of working at ‘Iolani as the Director of Institutional Advancement.

Not only is our beloved Mr. Heimerdinger a long-time Science teacher at ‘Iolani, he has also been coaching the Boys Intermediate Cross Country team for the past ten years. He can often be seen running off campus with the students, getting them in shape for competition while keeping himself physically fit.

When asked what his best memory of ‘Iolani is he said,” My best memory of ‘Iolani is all the friendships I’ve made with my students over the years. That is the best thing I will take away from ‘Iolani.”

So there you have it, straight from H-Dog’s mouth to the written page. Students can count on having Mr. Heimerdinger around at least a few more years.

Reverend Paul S. Kennedy

Rankin retiring

Last month, ‘Iolani bid aloha to a man whose positive impact has been felt on campus for decades.

Alumnus, teacher, and friend of ‘Iolani Rev. Paul S. Kennedy passed away on August 20th, 2013 at the age of 79. His influence has extended far beyond the classroom and into the framework of Iolani culture.

He was born on July 28th, 1934 in Denver, Colorado to Bishop Harry Kennedy and Katharine Kennedy. Their family moved to Hawaii in 1944 where he attended ‘Iolani School, graduating in 1952. He returned to teach at his alma mater in 1970.

In his 26 years of service to `Iolani, he taught AP Psychology, Spanish, and served as the Head of Admissions. Students considered “Papa Paul” a strict, fair, and above all, caring teacher whose unique sense of humor pervaded the classroom.

“He genuinely cared for this school that gave him so much. He wanted to give back,” said Mrs. Raquel Leong, Rev. Kennedy’s daughter.

As a longtime faculty member, Rev. Kennedy was an integral part of ‘Iolani’s transition from a small all-boys school to the co-ed preparatory powerhouse that it is today.

“He truly believed in the school, even in its darker times,” Mrs. Leong said. Indeed, the future of the school during this transitory period was far from certain; though Rev. Kennedy’s gentle and uplifting personality energized students and faculty alike and became a regular part of the school’s daily life.

Colonel Richard “Dick” Rankin announced his intentions to retire at the end of the 2013-2014 school year. A beloved AP economics teacher, Col. Rankin first started teaching at ‘Iolani in 1994.

Col. Rankin earned his bachelors degree in economics from the Virginia Military Institute, and subsequently earned a Master of Business Administration and Master of Arts in Economics from Shippensburg University and the University of Texas.

Prior to coming to ‘Iolani, Col. Rankin served for 26 years as a finance officer in the United States Army. During his time in the Army he served a three-year tour of duty teaching economics at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point. While teaching at West Point, Col. Rankin was selected as the outstanding teacher for the Department of Social Sciences.

His accomplishments and contributions to ‘Iolani school are numerous. He is the faculty advisor for the “No Free Lunch (NFL)” Business and Economics Club and has led the ‘Iolani Economics Challenge team to four national titles, as well as the state title every year since the

Rebe Kennedy, Paul’s wife of 50 years, worked alongside him in the admissions office.

“He and his wife were adorable together,” says Ms. Shirley Longo. His daughter, Mrs. Leong, now serves in her father’s former position in the Office of Admissions. “I always said I’d never go into education, but I find myself following in his footsteps in almost every way,” Mrs. Leong said. He will be dearly missed.

team’s inception in 1994. In 2001, the National Council on Economic Education named him the National Economics teacher of the year.

Col. Rankin also recently started a club called Raiders for Wounded Warriors at ‘Iolani.

Col. Rankin says that his choice to retire was “the hardest decision I made in twenty years.” There was no singular reason for his retirement; however, he said he thought a great deal about the decision.

After he retires, Col. Rankin says he can work part-time as a teacher if ‘Iolani needs the help, but he also plans to work on other community-oriented activities, “One thing I want to do is help Wounded Warriors. I’ve been working with them for a few years but not as much as I would like to.

I have a deep felt interest in helping those guys and girls. They gave a lot and I want to do what I can to give back.”

Col. Rankin expressed that he will greatly miss teaching at ‘Iolani, “I’m going to miss everything about ‘Iolani. The students, the teachers, the administrators...

They often say that students are lucky to come to Iolani and I’ll tell ya, teachers are lucky to be teaching here.”

By Angela Ching At sixteen years old, Brittany Amano ‘15 has hosted a Tedx Talks, founded two nonprofit organizations, and has had a documentary made about her. Recently, Brittany was given the chance to attend the Variety Power of Youth Awards as the GenerationOn and Hasbro National Honoree.

Walking alongside celebrities Tyler Posey, Abigail Breslin, and Nina Dobrev was just the beginning. With Universal Studios in the backdrop, Brittany was besieged with reporters from CBS and E News. She admitted that it was “a little intimidating, but I got the hang of it.”

Following the walk on the red carpet, she participated in a service project with GenerationOn by packing 1,000 care packages for homeless children. She said, “It was so awesome to see hundreds of youth working to brighten the day of someone who they didn’t even know.”

With her all access pass, Brittany hung out with various celebrities, and was given free products and endorsements. Finally the CEO of GenerationOn called her on stage and recognized Brittany for all of her service work in front on hundreds of celebrities. She added that she “even inspired a few celebrities to start their own social ventures, and have been working with them recently.”

So far, Brittany has raised $538,000 for her two nonprofit organizations, and she hopes to continue her endeavors in service projects bolstered by her newfound support and publicity from her trip.

¡Pura vida!

By Grace lei and Evan Lum This summer, Jack Gregory ‘14 was one of thirtysix high school students from across the nation who won a trip to Costa Rica by the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica (SHH). Last year as a junior, Gregory applied for the junior travel award, which included a lengthy application process. “I had to write a two page essay in Spanish about Costa Rican culture and I had to do a five minute interview in Spanish with my Spanish teacher.”

The following March, the SHH informed Jack that he won the trip to Costa Rica. The trip lasted from July 18-28, 2013. The SHH offers the opportunity to students so they can “become familiarized with Costa Rican culture [. . .] a classroom setting can only take you so far. Actually going to Costa Rica allows you to experience their customs, food, and language,” said Gregory. He also noted that his Spanish speaking and listening skills have greatly improved.

The Costa Rican trip featured many different activities, including visiting national parks, monuments, beaches, touring cities, villages, geographical landmarks, horseback riding, and kayaking in Lake Arenal.

Gregory said that the coolest thing they experienced in Costa Rica was the mile zipline ride across the Monte Verde. “When you look down, you can see the entire forest and it was a very cool moment,” said Gregory.

“Overall, my trip to Costa Rica is something that I will undoubtedly remember for my entire life. It was hands down the most amazing experience that I’ve ever had.”

Journey to Jordan

By Sydney Kimura Over the summer many of our ‘Iolani students had the opportunity to travel around the world for school or for vacation. Kaz Tomozawa ‘15 had the privilege of traveling to Jordan. a country which borders Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.

Along with nineteen other students from around the United States, Kaz went to Amman, Jordan for six and a half weeks, as part of the National Security Language Initiative for the Youth (NSLI-Y). The high school students in the program are given full ride merit-based scholarships and the privilege to study one of seven foreign languages, such as Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Russian or Persian.

This opportunity isn’t given to just anyone, though. There was also a whole process Kaz had to go through in order to participate in the summer year program. Kaz applied last fall and was interviewed in the spring. By June, he traveled to Jordan.

When asked why he was interested in going to Jordan.

Kaz responded that he was purely motivated by the culture and lifestyle in the Middle East, “I was there primarily to study Arabic but also to gain a better understanding of Middle Eastern culture and to familiarize myself with the inner working of the US Foreign Service.”

Kaz and the other nineteen students also visited Petra, the Dead Sea, Jerash, Wadi Rum, and explored various other places in their own time. For the first three weeks, Kaz lived with a Jordanian family. Then he stayed in an apartment with other students who were also on the trip. Kaz described his experience in Jordan as “interesting living in a very different culture,” and regards it as an experience he would never take back.

Summer camp Szarvas

“Hakuna matata” in Kenya

Over the past school year, Ilana Buffenstein ‘14 was chosen as the recipient of a Szarvas Fellowship. As one of 22 American Jewish teenagers, she had the opportunity of spending two weeks at an international, pluralistic Jewish summer camp in the countryside of Hungary. Camp Szarvas was formed in the 1990’s, with the purpose of re-educating Jewish youth in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain. During Nazi and then Communist rule, religion in this region was very much suppressed, and this summer camp serves to reunite Jews with their religion and with Jews from around the world.

Ilana met Jewish kids from all across the spectrum, from “shopping cart Jews” like herself (ones that pick and choose aspects of the religion) to Modern Orthodox kids from New York who attended Jewish schools and only eat at kosher restaurants. The fact that there were special restaurants that only served kosher food was hard to believe. As she puts it, “Growing up in Hawaii, my idea of ‘kosher’ always meant taking the spam out of the musubi.”

Over the summer, Malia Powers ‘17 traveled across Kenya, Africa and explored the people and wildlife with a safari vehicle. She went all across Kenya, including Nairobi, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria, Ol Pejeta, and Massai Mara. For two weeks, Powers and her family drove around the terrain, moving from place to place every other night.

They stayed in cabins and set up camps in the middle of the savannah with gates to protect them from the exotic and curious wildlife. At night, Powers recalls hearing groups of lions and hippos in the river moving about the area. One morning, right in front of her tent, she awoke to the sight of a wild gazelle feasting on some flowers.

She also mentioned that the monkeys were everywhere they went in Africa.

“The wild monkeys kept trying to get into our cabin,” Malia explains. “If you want to get in, you have to act fast, and go into the door really fast, or else you might be sharing your room with a monkey! They would sit right in front of the door and try

Throughout the summer, different countries send kids to this camp. While Ilana was there, Turkey, Israel, Hungary, Moldova, Russia, and India, yes India, were represented.

“Did you know there were Jews in India? Because I sure didn’t!” says Ilana. But she says that what made Szarvas so fantastic was that the camp thrived on a culture of mutual respect and acceptance, while still maintaing the funsummer-camp vibe. “We all come from different sides of the world, but at the end of the day, we’re all teenagers; at the end of the day, we can all laugh at Miley Cyrus twerking, and I think that a sense of unity is really important for the future of the Jewish people.”

At the beginning of her trip, an American rabbi gave Ilana a black marble composition book with which to document her experiences. On the front was this quote: “Sometimes, we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere.

Sometimes, in the middle of nowhere, we find ourselves.” Ilana likes to think that “in the Hungarian wilderness, surrounded by weird Jews with limited knowledge of English,” she found herself.

to get in. Whenever I was inside of my cabin, they would sit on the window sill and just stare through the window, looking at me. It was pretty funny.”

Powers recalls interacting with wildlife such as hyenas, rhinos, lions, wildebeest, chimps, baboons, and so many more while spending time in Africa.

“One of my favorite parts of the trip was when I was in Lake Bogoria and got to see 5 million flamingos! It was truly amazing. I felt like I was in a documentary or an Animal Planet show. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much pink in my life!” Powers stated.

Malia didn’t only meet interesting animals, but people as well. She and her family visited different Africa tribes, such as the Samburu people and the Massai people.

“They wore very colorful outfits and lots of jewelry and necklaces,” Powers describes, “These people are extremely poor, but very nice. The whole time I was there, they kept saying ‘Hakuna Matata’ which means no worries.”

A day late but worth the wait

A new chapter begins with U.S. library’s move to Sullivan

By Max Wei “The only thing I didn’t like was having to wake up early twice,” remarked Blaise Nakagawa (‘14).

Although the senior benches were not available to welcome the class of 2014 on the first day of school, feedback on the new benches were pretty positive overall. Most students did not mind having the benches on the second day of school; Soungmoon Jang (‘14) remarked, “I thought the benches would open later, so it’s not that bad.” According to Courtney Otani (‘14), Senior Benches are the “Only place where you can see the whole grade.”

Students generally came much earlier than the opening time of 6:30 a.m., with the norm being around 5:45 a.m. Some exceptions came to school at 4 a.m. in preparation. Despite all the early arrivals, seating choices varied. The most sought after benches were the ones near the electric outlets. With the plethora of electronic devices (iPads included), most seniors needed a place to recharge. Still, even without a wall bench most seniors adjusted well to the change of plans and settled for the rest of the tables.

Unfortunately, the benches were not completely perfect. One aspect in question was the decision to use “vinyl coated expanded metal commercial grade picnic” tables as opposed solid to tables. For those without a surface, “It’s kind of hard to write on,” remarked Evan Lum (‘14), with his friends

agreeing. Various students were also blasting music as well, receiving mixed reactions from various walks of the campus.

Despite the potential cons, an enormous amount of cooperation between the school and the various contractors was required to open the senior benches quickly. The Certificate of Occupancy is required in order to use the Sullivan Center for classes. According to Mr. Ching, “The general contractor (Nordic PCL), the architect (Group 70), and all the subcontractors (electrical, mechanical, civil, elevator, fire alarm, signage) worked closely with the various City and State inspectors to have their work inspected on an ongoing basis, and if need be, corrected before passing the inspection. The Certificate cannot be issued unless all items passed inspection.”

Eventually, the certificate was issued on August 26th. In the meantime, 10 workers used the Senior benches space as a staging area, moving the furniture into the building and assembling senior benches before August 26th.

As a result of this collaboration, the senior benches were fortunately made available on day two. Had the staff and contractors been any less diligent, Senior Benches would most likely have been at the tent in front of the art building (albeit temporarily).

Word on the street: Senior Bench drama

By Emily Tanaka When Mr. Brown said “Go,” a stampede of determined seniors dashed to the table they desired.

With less tables than in previous years, the stakes were even greater. The annual senior benches scramble had begun.

Elizabeth Vaea’s ‘14 strategy was simple: claim as many tables as you can. Vaea followed the plan and scrambled to a table adjacent to the wall. She said, “I sat down but then Tyler McKenna sat behind me and called over all of his friends.” But there are two sides to this story. Tyler McKenna ‘14 said that “Elizabeth sprinted past me but overshot the table so I sat down and called over the boys. But then she stood on the table,” and the confrontation began.

McKenna said he had planned to take that table so he was very reluctant to surrender to Vaea. Negotiations ultimately resolved the problem as Vaea and her friends decided to take the neighboring bench that they thought was more suitable due to its privacy and space. McKenna’s persistent attitude earned him and his friends the bench they desired. It is still unknown who sat at the bench first.

A rumor spread like wild fire throughout the senior class that Taylor Hamai ‘14 pushed Nick Nagata ‘14 off a table when he was lying on the top to reserve it. Hamai, the alleged “Pusher” immediately rejected the accusation of pushing Nagata, yelling, “I did not! Oh my God, I just jumped on our table and all my friends came rushing and

we said we claimed it.” She called the incident a “friendly confrontation,” but Nagata remembers otherwise.

Nagata says he reached the bench well before Hamai and quickly called his friends over. However, before he could even fight back, Hamai jumped onto the table and screamed to her friends who swarmed like bees. The rumor was ultimately proved fast by witnesses: Hamai did not push Nagata. Hamai and her friends celebrated the victory while the boys settled at an adjacent table for second best.

By the time Lauren Ho ‘14 arrived at the table her friends had claimed, it was more crowded than she had expected. She soon found out that there were two groups stubbornly competeing for a long middle table. All of the girls involved were content with waiting it out. Ho described the situation as “extremely awkward. All my friends and the other group were super quiet and no one was talking.” It is still unknown who touched the bench first. When a compromise seemed impossible, another group of friends saved the day.

Aaron Lee ‘14 and his friends saw that the groups of girls were large and required a long table to seat everyone. He and his friends combined tables to help solve a problem that did not affect them. Sarah Zhang and her friends were able to move to Lee’s old table, saying it ended as a “win win.” When asked why he moved for another group Lee said, “We are all raiders, one team!”

The vision becomes reality

The new ‘Iolani Upper School Library recently opened on the second floor of the Sullivan Center. The library is based on the designs of different libraries from across the country which ‘Iolani librarians visited in order to see the latest trends in libraries. The design focuses on group collaboration and team thinking rather than the traditional, studying environment.

There are boomerang-shaped carrels that are meant to be collaborative. The carrel walls are see-through to maximize collaboration with neighbors. There are also outlets at each carrels to provide clean energy for iPads and the iMacs.

Then there is the collaboration room, a huge room where students may host simulations or debates. The room can be divided by what Head Librarian Tennye Cabrera calls a “functional partition” as seen at the University of Stanford. In ‘Iolani’s case, the moveable wall installed to divide the room in two is a giant white board on which students may write notes or put Post-Its. In the corner of the collaboration room is the pod, a Smart TV to which students can connect via iPads.

“We’re becoming a college think tank,” says Cabrera. “We’re really giving you a college experience and a business experience.”

However, with all the collaboration planned, the Library will not be its quiet environment anymore. “It will be a middle ground.” Cabrera said. “I’ll say, [the library] will be mid-range quiet.” The test taking that required the silence of the old library is now being overseen by Ms. Ann Yoneshige.

The library began its move of 23,000 books from Seto Hall on Aug. 26. It was a monumental task that, according to Cabrera, took “time, coordination, flexibility, and time.” However, it was also a smooth endeavor. Cabrera calls the movers “fabulous.” Using bookshelves with wheels and shrink-wrap to prevent damage to the books, the Library was able to open on

Sept. 9.

During the move into the Sullivan Center, the librarians had to weed a thousand books from the library in order to fit into their new location. Although it may not seem like it, the Sullivan Library is smaller than both the Seto or Ranzman libraries.

Books were recalled because they were outdated or had nothing to do with the current curriculum. Most of the removed books dealt with science, technology and math due to the constantly evolving subject matter. Cabrera recalls the humor she found in many of the books that called obsolete technology, like pagers, “mainstream”. “It was only 10 years old!” exclaimed Cabrera.

Although the ‘Iolani library is a thousand books shorter than a few months ago, it actually has more information than ever before through eBooks. On the ‘Iolani Libraries site on iolani.org, students have access to eBrary, an online database with 70,000 books. Another online resource that will soon be available to Iolani students is Credo Reference, a company offering credible, easy-to-access information.

To make these tools more available to students, the ‘Iolani Library web clip application was designed by librarian Clarissa Sin. This app is now on every student iPad. “It was a little unwieldy going through the web” said Cabrera. Now the wealth of information provided by the ‘Iolani library is available at a single touch.

The ‘Iolani library certainly has much to offer its students. With a beautiful, modern look designed by the Group 70 architects and amazing technology everywhere, the ‘Iolani library like a collegiate library and a library of the future. However, it will be the responsibility of Iolani students to utilize these tools. “it’s not just only the facilities” says Cabrera, “it’s a mindset too . . .We’re in line with what the whole building is, leadership and collaboration.”

By Alec Lazor “The Sullivan Center is a remarkable facility that will help bring ‘Iolani into the 21st Century,” said history teacher Mr. Alan Suemori. So what exactly is the Sullivan Center?

The Sullivan Center opened on August 27, 2013 and is the newest facility on the ‘Iolani campus. The fourstory building is named after Joanna Lau Sullivan, who is the lead donor to the school. Nordic PCL, Group 70 and numerous other subcontractors were involved in the construction of the building.

By Rachael Heller

Construction started in 2011 when the previous library’s interior electrical hardware had to be updated and re-directed away from the site. The demolition of the former library started in June 2012. The cost of the furniture, equipment, and building is estimated to be about 24 million dollars.

The first floor houses the Senior Benches, SAO, the I-lab, fabrication lab, and the Mech classroom. The second floor consists of a workroom, the archives, SYS, the Collaboration Center, and the library. The third story

holds a seminar room, Digital Media Center, a studio, and the Leadership and Service Flexible Project where students can work from 6:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Director of Finance, Mr. Glenn Ching said “There are a lot of folks who worked together to pull this project through. What I’ll remember most with the Sullivan Center and with Phase One (a series of renovations in 2002-2003), was the teamwork, can-do attitude, integrity, and respect we had for each other along the way.

That was the key.”

The return of the ‘Io Hawk

For those ‘Iolani students who haven’t heard the word about the bird, the disembodied talons perched on a podium outside of the Sullivan center might seem a bit nonsensical.

With the ushering in of the Sullivan Center for Innovation and Leadership, many 3D design students last year suggested that the return of the infamous ‘Io Hawk sculpture would be fitting. The previous ‘Io sculpture existed from 1985 to 2008 in the courtyard outside of the former SAO. The original design came from a group of 3D students who approached Mr. David Roberts, more commonly known as “Jungle Bob”, with a twelve-inch drawing and the basic question, “Can we make this?” Jungle responded enthusiastically and assisted the students with creating a 12 to 13 foot hawk using only materials already found on the ‘Iolani campus, which led to a lot of improvisation. For example, the framework and beak of the bird were made from an old IBM 360 computer. In 2008, one of the bird’s steel feathers came loose and fell off, compel-

ling the school to take the sculpture down, lest an unsuspecting student be impaled by an avian protrusion.

By the end of last year’s spring semester, Jungle won approval to start building the new heavenly hawk. 3D students have helped by cutting out the individual feathers that are currently being welded to the body of the bird. One student in particular, Maddie Moser ‘15, has been dubbed the foreman of the project. Over the past year she has become proficient in TIG welding and plasma cutting and has helped with both constructing the bird and teaching other students how to cut and weld. This ‘Io hawk is made from stainless steel and silicon bronze, materials that are much more suited to wear and tear. The big date for the unveiling of the sculpture is set for October 7th, when it will be lowered onto its podium facing the Sullivan Center. As Jungle Bob put it, the ‘Io will “proudly project the spirit of ‘Iolani,” and its positioning in front of the new building “symbolizes where we’ve come from and where we’re going.”

Moving history: archives settle in ByDavid Pang

The Sullivan Center is the new home of the ‘Iolani Archives, now on the second floor near the library’s entrance.

Opened on Aug. 26, the archives are a larger and more technologically advanced repository for ‘-Iolani’s history compared to its previous locations in the Ranzman, Weinburg, and Nangaku buildings. Visitors to the archives are greeted by a beautiful mural of Dr. Sun Yat Sen on the campus where he spent his school days. Through another door is the research room where archivist Rosemarie Panko and her assistant, Lyn Vi Sumimoto, do most of their work such as documenting and restoring artifacts of ‘Iolani’s history.

The new archives also contain a back room which is reserved for only the most rare and delicate items in the collection. The air is cooler and drier and is usually open only to the archivists and staff. These important and irreplaceable historic records and objects are kept neatly organized in compact, rotatable, brand

new shelves. The shelves are adjustable to fit objects of all sizes. Some items located among the shelves include the chair used by Dr. Harold Keables, a copy of Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s will from China, and even a 1923 edition of the school paper, the Iolani Newsette, which sold for 10 cents.

More contemporary items are always being added. The archives recently received a throwback football jersey which was worn by ‘Iolani quarterback Easton Tsubata at this year’s Annual Father Bray Football Classic.

Although the business of the archives is history, it is definitely a 21st century operation.

In an exhibition of their new technology, the archives created a presentation for the Father Bray Game on an iPad using the Keynote application.

With its own site on iolani.org under “Libraries”, with hundreds of pictures and documents digitalized, the Iolani Archives are more accessible than ever.

At a time when ‘Iolani is making giant steps to prepare students for the future, the school is also investing in the preservation of its past.

First Day of School

Imua ‘Iolani

Man on the street: Lower and Upper School When summer was over, it was hard to be sad about coming back to school with so many new and exciting things happening around ‘Iolani.

Between the new Sulivan Center for Inovation and Leadership and the new faces on campus, there was a great buzz around school. Everyone was excited to start learning again. Imua `Iolani asked students and faculty in the Lower and Upper School what they liked about the first day of the 2013-14 school year. Here is what they said:

“It was good because I got to see everybody and I like my classes.”

—David Au ‘16

“I like the teacher (Ms. Young) because she is really funny.”

—Justin Wong ‘22

“Math, I like figuring out the problems.”

—Kai Drewes ‘26 “I liked when they told us we’d get our own Ipads!”

—Annaliese Leatherman ‘25 “Different because there is more independence in upper school than in lower school.”

—Elijah Brown ‘19 “Excitement in the faces of all the students it’s exciting to meet new students for the first time and old students again.”

—Mrs. Schmitz Grade 4 teacher “It was exciting, I can’t believe that it was my last first day of high school.”

—Daniella Kim ‘14

“Recess because we get to play” —Samantha Ballard ‘26

“I like it because we got to play on the new playground and we had a nice break and got to come back to school now.”

—Logan Lee ‘25

“Going out to autoline and seeing all the new students.”

—Mr. Chun Grade 5 teacher

“It was outstanding because I love school!”

—Sam Wong ‘14

“Meeting the students, new fresh blood to tortue. Teaching is a legal way of torturing kids.”

—Mr. Doi Grade 4 teacher

“I find it convenient to use my car as a mobile filing cabinet. That way my stuff is at school and in my car both. If I took all the stuff out of my car and put it at home, my wife would get mad at me since it’s such a mess.”
