felt at all times like one of the boys
In fact the atmosphere Of the dinner
had somehow brought to him the sug-
gestion that it might not be bad idea
for the trustees to organize football
team and he might, if he continued to
feel in the same mind. speak to Rev.
Dr."and others about it. Mr.. Cas-
tie said he was only one of the many
in Honolulu who had the very warmest
aloha for Punahou and all its affairs
and traditions. These friends would
remain firm, because they knew that
in any event the boys would behave
like gentlemen, and would do their
best in any honorable undertaking.
Miss Ely read in delightful style

the boy who was determined to be just
as good as he knew how at least
