SAFEGUARDING AT PUNAH0U.

A jubilant party of Punabou
teachers and scholars gathered at
Oahu College last evening. The
driveway, with its Examinations, led
up to the parlor, resplendent in its
new adornments-the tangible re-
suits OF the German and French
plays-and to the dining room, which
was qnite transformed. Its usual
sober aspect was frightened by long
festoons of green vines reaching from
corner to corner, and lightened by
many gay Chinese lanterns beneath.
The '92 motto, in buff and blue, was
on the clock, and. the large, bare wall
on the Eva side was ample room for
| the immense 1922 in delicate
ferns. MIR. Frank Barwick had
charge of the decorations, while the
flowers for the tables were furnished
by the members of the graduating
class.
| Eight long tables were set, and
shortly after 8 o'clock the company
was seated, each person taking the
place assigned by slips containing
the names. DR.. Lyons asked the
blessing, and then the force of cheer
full Japs served cream and cake and
sherbet. After much gayety, &C.
companied by the popping of corks,
President Hosmer rose, but could
not speak for several seconds, so
loud was the applause, which, after
standing toast, resolved itself into
the familiar "Oahu-oa - Punahou
mau a-mau." He spoke Of the pros
porous year, the freedom from debt,
the fine condition Of grounds and
house department, and introduced
the first speaker, Albert Judd, '92,
who gave brief history OF the class.
Edward Damon was the seer of the
future Julia Perry gave the Glass
Ode, and "Queen Mary" suggested
the farce Of Noblesse Oblige."
In behalf of the class, Edward
Damon presented the school with a
picture of "Christ before Plate"
which President Hosmer accepted
for the College,
The following responses were
given
DIR. Lyons for the Science depart
ment, Mr. Wood for the Faculty /;

Glee Club supplemented Miss

"The Last Day at School. Miss
Brewer represented Purgatory ;"

tees, and James Judd for '93. In speak
ing for '94, Clarence Cooke gave a
parody on LEND me your ears
The Sophomore had Walter Hay
selden for their spokesman, the
Freshmen, Henry Jaeger, and the
Specials George Kluegel, ''the poet"
The Captain of the Football Team,
William Chamberlain, spoke glow
ingly of Punahou's victories, and
called for toast to Mr.. Wood, the
mainstay of the eleven. James Keola
spoke on Sugar, but did not pro-
phecy rise. THE Ladies'" natur-
ally following the last toast, were
toasted by John Waterhouse. The
French department was touchingly
commemorated by Hugh Walker, and
Willard Browne proved, by pointing
to the long, long rows of empty soda
bottles, that Soda Water was a sub
iect of popular discussion. Kauai and
Hilo were glowingly described by
William Rice and Ernest Lyman
SIX. 7. c." was mysteriously alluded
to by Alex. Anterior; a new set
of rules was added to Ten
mis- regulations by Montague
Cooke; Amateur Photography was
exposed by William Whitney;
George McDougall suggested the
inconvenience of inter-isiand travel,
Frank Armstrong said goodbye to
Pnnahou. and last came All Kee,
who told us keys were found in
every country, even China; this one
he hoped was not brass, but though
it was rusty, it was being polished
at Punahou. Two songs by the Glee
Club 1.-THE Bulldog on the Bank
and an adaptation of "My Bonnie
were the final notes of happy even
ing. A great many capital stories
were told, many good hits were
made, and the attention and ap
plause were sustained to the end
And with best wishes for pleasant
vacation to all and especial goo6
