The Prime Rib Loft at The Orleans was the site for the group's banquet.  Classmates from the three schools wore their school colors and had a fabulous dinner.  The prizes for the McKinley sponsored "Crazy Bowling" event were awarded following dessert.

The team made up of Keith Kurahashi, Dayle Hoopai (RHS), Joanne Amioka Chikuma (KHS), and  Ann Moniz Suen (KHS) edged out their closest competition by a few points with some very creative and funny picture submissions.

Blow Your Mind in '69

Team 1 won $100 cash for their first place finish.  The scavenger challenge probably lasted longer than the prize money, but they had a great workout and now own the bragging rights.
