Manoa Elementary School's JPOs (1964). Seem to remember that this army of JPOs won 1st place (or placed close to the top) in the drill team competition that year at the prestigious JPO PIcnic at Ala Moana Park, sponsored and put on by HPD. This was quite a feat because the competition included all elementary schools on Oahu!
