BY Graduates of Kamehameha
Bows School

The graduating exercises at Kane
hameha Manual School took place in
the gymnasium on the school campus
last night before an audience that fill
ed very nearly every part in the large
hall.
The place was well decorated for the
occasion by the boys. Suspended in
front of the stage was the motto,
There is plenty of room at the top"
transparency with a row of electric
lights behind, the work of one Of the
students of Kamehameha. Above this
was draped a Hawaiian flag. On the
wall at the back of the stage were the
figures '97 done in green ferns and
pale pink Oleanders, the colOrs of the
graduating class. Above the stage,
along the walls and from the rafters,
were festoons of ferns and nailed about
in various places were punches of
flowers.

If any numbers on the program were
to be particularly mentioned, the fol-
lowing would hold high place:
Statutory Wiring of a building"
by Harry James Aud This was illus
trated by electric apparatus and proved
most interesting. The explanation of
all the steps in the process of wiring
building were clearly and concisely
put.
practical Chemistry" by Clarence
William Kinney. This too was illus
trated with apparatus and was we'll
done.
"Our steam plant by Lot Kahihi-
lani Kauwe, a clear explanation of the
plant at Kamehameha
ledictory-"Triples," by Daniel
Keanini Vowel. This was probably
the best thing on the program. The
composition, the delivery-in fact,
everything in connection with the vale
dictory, was most cleverly done.
After the last chorus on the pro-
gram came the presentation of dipIo-
mas by Principal Richards who gave
the boys some sound advice on what
TO do now that they were to be thrown
upon the world.
AT the close of the exercises the
graduates remained on the stage and
received the hearty congratulations of
their friends. Each graduate received
a beautiful bunch of f1owersS
After the exercises the boys of Ka-
mehameha including graduates and
members of the alumni association, to-
gether with the instructors and a few
invited guests, repaired to the the din
ing hall where a sumptuOus repast had
been prepared to close the evenings
doings.
