Hideo Who Became Dan
THIS IS THE STORY of a
Xis^j named Hideo who became
Dan.
It all started some 21 years ago
when Hideo was born on his
■Others farm in the Lower Fraser
Valley. He grew up pretty much
like any other kid on a farm, per
haps smarter than average, al
though he did apt make remarKably high grades in school and got
the* strap more than three times
un until the day he entered High
School.
He was small for his age and
on Saturday afternoons he could
o-et into the “show” for a dime
until he was almost 141'2 years
old. Life went along smoothly un
til one day in high school in be
tween the 9th and 10th grade, he
entered into that sweet heaven (or
hell) of adolescence. Yesterday, he
could talk to Helen as natural as
eating pie, but today, he felt shy
and awkward. He couldn't explain
why. He was the same as yester
day. Even had on the same
clothes.
For the rest of the term, bewild
ered and unhappy7, he withdrew in
to himself.
During the summer holidays, he
helped on his father’s farm har
vesting the fruit crops, while his
former pals were getting together.
It was strange to him why lie was
never asked when it was a mixed
crowed. With adolescent cruelity
they had snubbed him.
For the remainder of his high
school days, he couldn’t seem to
break down the barrier. He tried
to compensate for his inability to
mix by studying harder and pay
ing more attention to his school
work. And he was very successful
at it. But what he couldn’t under
stand was how a certain other
Nisei was able to intermingle with
the crowd. Hideo not only belong
ed to the Body's Hi Y Club, one of
the most exclusive on the campus,
but was secretary treasurer. This
other Nisei was m many commit
tees, such as the Dance committee,
on the staff of the school paper
and a popular fellow among- the
other students.
JUST ANOTHER QUEER . . But Hideo felt that he was just
another queer one in the school.
Like the lone Negro boy or the fat
girl with the thick glasses. The
only7 time he was asked to do
something was when the other
kids wanted to copy his homework.
Self-conscious and' unwilling to be
hurt, he avoided all the social
gatherings, never went to tae
class dances or the mixers.
It was a sort of a relief to grad
uate from high school for Hideo.
But the dull monotony of working
on the farm was worse. Now he
had no contact .with the outer
world. They were limited to people
with whom he and his father con
ducted business. He became more
like his conservative father. Even
to looking like him. The only dif
ference was one spoke Japanese
and the other English.
Trucking fruits for the Berry
Co-op took up most of his time.
While he was in high school,. he
had wanted to study mechamca
engineering, but he couldn't affon
to go to University. He used to
dream about being a mechanical
engineer while going about ms
work on the farm. He was lonely,
but he didn’t realize it._______

And as sudden as Pearl Harbor,
he and his whole. family were up
rooted and transplanted to a sugar
beet farm on the prairies. But
during- that short interval of un
cert? inty, he had come into his
own. His father and mother were
consulting him on family matters
—actually- asking his advice.
Tasting a bit of authority fired
his
dormant
ambitions.
After
working one winter in a loggingcamp, he said goodbye to his par
ents and went to the city to learn
machine shop work. For two solid
months he spent everything he
had at the trade school. At the
end of the training period he was
able to get a job in a small'
machine shop. From there, he
shifted to other small shops, gain
ing experience on the mechanism
and workings of all types of
machinery.
And it was not long before he
got a steady* job at a good rate
in a large war plant.
But the big city* is a very cold
and impersonal place. He found
himself so alone as he pushed
himself through the stream of hu
manity* bent on having a good time
. . . their pockets swollen with war
time earnings. He didn’t know
what to do ... he was hungry*
for companionship ... for someone
to talk to.
HE WENT TO CHURCH
One Sunday morning, however,
he was drawn to the church he
always passed every morning on
his way7 to work.
He had not been to church since
his Sunday school days in his boy
hood. For the first time in years,
he found solace and comfort to
be among people . . . for he felt
he was one of them.
When the collection plate was
passed around he signified his de
sire to become a member by* filling
out the slip of paper provided.
When the service was over total
strangers smiled at him and said
“good morning”.
The minister
came up to him and shook his
hands and spoke to him. He felt
at home . ..
Hideo introduced himself as
Dan. He was known by* that name
at the plant. It all began when the
foreman once laughingly declared
that Hideo was unpronounceable
and dubbed him Dan.
RESTORED CONFIDENCE . . .
Dan attended church regularly
and also became a member of the
Young People’s Society. He found
that group activity was driving
away* his shyness and restoring his
self-confidence. And it was fun
too.
- .■
He acquired many* social skills
which would allow him to mix
freely with other young people.
Now he was really7 making friends.
He took active part in discussions
and meetings. Even at work his
co-workers seemed to sense the
difference. With his newly-acquired friendly7 approach, he was mak
ing friends everywhere. He joined
the plant’s bowling club ... joked
and talked with his fellow employ*ees.
He was no longer a queer . ..

And as sudden as Pearl Harbor,
he and his whole. family were up
rooted and transplanted to a sugar
beet farm on the prairies. But
during- that short interval of un
cert? inty, he had come into his
own. His father and mother were
consulting him on family matters
—actually- asking his advice.
Tasting a bit of authority fired
his
dormant
ambitions.
After
working one winter in a loggingcamp, he said goodbye to his par
ents and went to the city to learn
machine shop work. For two solid
months he spent everything he
had at the trade school. At the
end of the training period he was
able to get a job in a small'
machine shop. From there, he
shifted to other small shops, gain
ing experience on the mechanism
and workings of all types of
machinery.
And it was not long before he
got a steady* job at a good rate
in a large war plant.
But the big city* is a very cold
and impersonal place. He found
himself so alone as he pushed
himself through the stream of hu
manity* bent on having a good time
. . . their pockets swollen with war
time earnings. He didn’t know
what to do ... he was hungry*
for companionship ... for someone
to talk to.
HE WENT TO CHURCH
One Sunday morning, however,
he was drawn to the church he
always passed every morning on
his way7 to work.
He had not been to church since
his Sunday school days in his boy
hood. For the first time in years,
he found solace and comfort to
be among people . . . for he felt
he was one of them.
When the collection plate was
passed around he signified his de
sire to become a member by* filling
out the slip of paper provided.
When the service was over total
strangers smiled at him and said
“good morning”.
The minister
came up to him and shook his
hands and spoke to him. He felt
at home . ..
Hideo introduced himself as
Dan. He was known by* that name
at the plant. It all began when the
foreman once laughingly declared
that Hideo was unpronounceable
and dubbed him Dan.
RESTORED CONFIDENCE . . .
Dan attended church regularly
and also became a member of the
Young People’s Society. He found
that group activity was driving
away* his shyness and restoring his
self-confidence. And it was fun
too.
- .■
He acquired many* social skills
which would allow him to mix
freely with other young people.
Now he was really7 making friends.
He took active part in discussions
and meetings. Even at work his
co-workers seemed to sense the
difference. With his newly-acquired friendly7 approach, he was mak
ing friends everywhere. He joined
the plant’s bowling club ... joked
and talked with his fellow employ*ees.
He was no longer a queer . ..
