Punahou Class of 1984

Really?  From the NY Times:

No Tiptoeing Through the Tulips

But the happy surprise of encountering something completely different from the Tiny Tim-style hamming or banjo-plucking embarrassment of your imagination doesn’t wholly explain the deep love the orchestra inspires, not just in Britain, but also in Europe and as far away as New Zealand and Japan. Previously the private passion of a large but sub rosa group of devotees, the orchestra hit mainstream popularity last month when it performed to a sold-out crowd at the BBC Proms music festival at the Royal Albert Hall here.

Punahou sweeps HBA girls in ILH

In an early season Interscholastic League of Honolulu girls volleyball showdown that appeared to be up for grabs, Punahou reached out and took it from Hawai’i Baptist, 26-24, 25-20, last night at HBA Gym.

The defending Division I state runner-up Buffanblu improved to 5-0 in ILH play; the defending DII state champion Eagles fell to 5-1.

PUNAHOU 51, DAMIEN 6

The Buffanblu blocked four punts — two of which directly led to scores — and David Eldredge completed 9 of 13 passes for 204 yards and five touchdowns in the ILH season opener for both teams.

Punahou improved to 1-2 overall. Damien fell to 0-3.
