Here's a cute letter
from Mel's former teacher...
Comedian got his
start in speech class
I am delighted that irrepressible funnyman Mel Cabang is back in
town doing what he does best.
I like to think Mel got his jump start as a student in my crazy
speech class back in 1960 at Kaimuki High School. As a fledgling
teacher, I urged my students to be themselves and encouraged
freedom of expression.
My classroom was the perfect forum for Mel's antics, his signature
piece being the story of The Three Pigs a la Lisa Matsumoto's
local style. It never failed to bring down the house.
Mel went on to win many speech and story-telling awards, bringing
our school joy and recognition. I remember the day in class as he
performed an original song, "Read Smutty," for his final
persuasion speech.
In the midst of this hilarity, the head of secondary school intern
teachers at the University of Hawaii walked in unexpectedly. After
observing Mel in action, he promptly hired me as the youngest
intern supervisor, a promotion I had not even applied for. We
shared the same philosophy that learning can be creative, fun and
joyous.
I have Mel to thank for these happy memories. Way to go, Mel. Geev
'em.
