assembly hall of that institution. The
room was crowded with people who
were anxious to be present at the ex-
ercises, showing that another class
had done with it's school work. The
number of graduates this year is small
there being only four. They are Maria
e. Maby, Louise Ace Wongkong, Jane
Nahiwa, Ellen Rose Pearce. This
class, however, enjoys the distinction
of being the first to complete the fu:l
normal course of five years.
The stage presented dainty APP
pearance in its drapings of blue and
white, the class colors. In large let |
tiers was displayed the class motto,
Whatsoever thy hand findeth TO do, |
do it with all thy might" Programs
printed in blue ink on white paper and
tied with white and blue ribbon were
distributed among the audience.
At o'clock the girls took their
places and the teachers and trustees
of the institution were ushered to the
stage. The program was gone through
with in a most satisfactory manner.
1t was entirely lacking in the tedious
and tiresome elements that seem to
| be at times an essential part of COM
mencement exercises. The essays APP
pealed to all because they dealt with
subjects within the grasp of every
| body They brought out important
points in the separate phases OF a
girls life. The diction was faultless
| in each case, and spoke volumes for
| the good work of the school. Each
/ young lady delivered her essay in >
clear manner so that every word could
| be distinctly heard. 1t was a source
of regret that the valedictorian, Hiss
| Maby, was unable TO be present on &C
count of illness. Her production on
"A Girl at School was read by Miss
Helen Desha in a highly commenda-
| BILE manner. The singing sustained
the reputation that is already possess
ed by the Kamehameha Girls School.
Two of the songs were composed b.
Miss Clymer the teacher of music, and
showed great merit.
The address of Rev. William NJ.
Kincaid was listened to with rapt at
tention. He spoke on the value OF
having a purpose in life. person
without an aim is like a ship drifting
rudderless on the ocean, without des-
tination and with no answer to the
call of whittier bound"-a veritable
ship of the dead symbolized in Cole
ridges Ancient Mariner" Now IL
the time of youth the purpose shoulc
be formed. ere life hardens into {
! mold that cannot be altered. To live
, as near as possible the life of the l4aI
of Palestine, who, nineteen centurie
ago walked the earth, is the highest o
all purposes. Others have been great
but He is the greatest. Others hav
had elements of goodness, but He
. the best. Achieve character and fol
r. low closely in the footsteps of tn
