Of their future. They were all
Young men of unquestionable
merit. Kamehameha song was
then rendered by the school chorus,

I Moses Kauwe was the funny
man of the class and the class
prophet. Some of his prophesies
were very amusing, and if all his
predictions shall come to pass
some will enjoy happiness, while
others viii experience lifelong
misery. But the predictions were
jokingly uttered, and were ap-
plauded on that account.
Matthew Hoonani Kane deliver
ed the valedictory with great i'm
pressiveness. After speaking
friendly, parting words to
his class mates, he paid a high
tribute to their retiring president,
the Rev. W. B. Oleson, to whom
more than any other person they
owe their present standard of edu-
cation; for without his fatherly
advices when in sorrow and trou-

the goal of their ambition with
such success as they had.

their future on the graduates of
