Living History Day

JN, Pearl City, D22K

In the midst of a chilly winter morning on January 25th, Key Clubbers of Pearl City spent their weekend break at the USS Missouri once again. This time, their annual celebration of Living History Day was taking place and the members couldn’t miss it. Just like last year, each of the Key Clubbers split up into groups and were stationed at different locations of the battleship. Two of them worked in the main mess hall where all the children’s activities were. Some of these games included tying knots, coloring, and playing battleship. Overseeing the kids, they taught them different skills such as aircraft marshalling signals. On the other side of the decks, some members made and sold special postcards from the USS Missouri. Although not lots of people carried cash on them, they still managed to make a couple bucks from the personalized cards. In the meantime, chaperones and advisors spent their time learning how to manage the battleship’s radio. So many different things were accomplished in just one event—all thanks to Key Club!
