the kamehameha Alumni Association

our beloved brother. David Kanewanui,
who lies in our midst
In behalf of the body ! represent l

pathy and coincidence and unite with
you in mourning the loss of no truer
friend than he had been to us.
We as whole had earnestly prayed
that ne be longer spared us In Iife's
struggle. but since II has pleased the
Almighty to remove him from our
midst to higher plane. we bow our
heads and say with sorrow, Thy will
be done" i have the honor to speak a

yet the success he has met in life had
given him most promising future.
Ills attainment to 4 high standing OF
manhood started from the Kamehame-
ma Manual School.
AS one Of his classmates I have al
ways looked up to him as the flower of
our class. being among the brightest in
studies. always kind, generous, and
worthy of confidence. During the eight
years that have passed since we, the
class Of '9i, came out and Joined our
selves with the rest of the world the
deceased has done much to his credit
He first began active life as "A teach
err, and taught two terms at the Olo-
walu and Kaanapali schools on the
Island OF Maui, and then two years at
the Hilo Boarding School. He was then
offered a clerkship In the Auditors Of
flee and served there for two years
faithfully.
His last call to hold Office was to All
the editorship OF the Hawaiian paper,
Kuokoa. Many praises have been ut
tered OF his ability in managing the
paper. Under his editorship the paper
grew more in popularity and circula-
ton. l remember the occasion when
he spoke to me when he began working
for the paper. He said he would have to
know a great deal more of the Ha-
waiian language. and felt at the time
quite incompetent, but the surprising
work he did proved that he went at 1t
with his whole mind earnestly. and
mastered the difficulty with success
Step by step he has succeeded and
should not wonder had he lived he
would have fulfilled higher calls in life.
His untimely death has caused him
to do no more In this life and / am
sorry to say that he leaves n little girl
fatherless parents with stricken hearts,
and hosts of friends TO mourn his loss
We pray God on high to ease our sor-
rows by remembering that the great
Father has prepared better place for
him.
