| Yesterday was the class day OF the
Kamehameha School for Boys. and the
event was celebrated amid sylvan
scenes. the exercises being given under
kiawe trees upon a smooth carpet of
lawn and almost In the shadow OF the
Bishop Memorial Chapel. An interest
ing program OF exercises. including
music by the giee club. recitations. ad-
dresses and scenes from Midsummer
Nights Dream. was given. which was
followed by refreshments served upon
the lawn.
A very pretty feature OF the exer-
cisss was the planting of the class vine.
The eleven young men composing the
graduating class planted eleven roots
OF clinging vine at each corner form
ed by the buttresses OF the chapel, AMI
| these will be the first to adorn the
| stone walls OF the stately edifice.
The saiutatory and class history were
ably handled by David Cranswick Ka-
mauoha. who told many humorous in
cidents that had occurred in the class
In the past four years. and among these
were references to raided watermelon
patches and mysterious disappearances
OF fat pullets. Principal Charles Bart
lett Dyke made an address in which
he referred to the class OF 1909 as one
Of the most manly that ever went forth
from the school, and he knew that each
one was well equipped to begin life and
earn his way. He referred to the oft
repeated question OF whether il was
worth while educating the Hawaiian
boys and girls, and answered IL en-
phatically In the affirmative. The thou
sands OF dollars which had been spent
IN the name Of Bernice Pauahi Bishop
for the education OF Hawaiian youths
could not have been put to better use.
Young men and women left the school
eminently qualified to compete with
anyone in business and other pursuits
OF active life. Principal Dyke quoted
statistics showing where the graduates
had gone and telling OF their present
occupations. They had become bust
ness men, ministers. trustworthy
clerks, were in various branches OF the
governmental departments. and many
were property owners. The average
salary commanded by them was $1,000.
These statistics spoke for themselves
Many were married and had comfort
able homes.
Two scenes from Midsummer Nights
Dream were presented in the open
space beneath the trees under an avn
Ing formed OF several large Hawaiian
and American flags suspended canopy
like between the trees. The Grecian
costumes were worn in a manner which
created considerable amusement for the
audience. and there were many situa-
lions which caused no end of fun for
both actors and auditors. The young
