| so to be- and he has given US pictures
i of rounded and radiant perfection.
!, AS a last word, wish, classmates
! to suggest that this perfection lay in
/ the cultivation of body, mind and heart
After your years of life together we
| weakly, meanly give up our right-our
birthright-if we do not strive to make
our own those ideals of poets and prose
writer's which we have come to know.
Now is the high tide of the year:
Joy comes, grief goes, we know not
how;
Everything is happy now,
Everything is upward striving,
'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true
AS for grass to be green or skies to be
blue
IT'S the natural way of living
God grant it may not take US until
the winter of life to learn that it is
Not that which We give, but what we
share"
Goodbye is never easy. Punahou has
meant too much to US to say the word
lightly-it has meant home and friends;
it has meant work, to be sure, but it
has meant plenty of play; it has meant
realization of the beauty of knowledge,
and the beauty of service, vision of
those
Truths that wake,
To perish never;
Which neither listiessness, nor mad
endeavor,
Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy"
And to the friends who have helped
US to get these truths, to the trustees
who have provided them, to the teach
ers who have lived them as they have
taught them, the Glass of 1904 expresses
its gratitude.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
Glass Day exercises of the graduating
class of 'O4 of Oahu College were held
yesterday in the cool shadow of Pauahi
Hall, the function resolving itself more
or less into garden party. The stone
terrace was decorated in national colors
and the college colors were conspicuous
as background for the class as it
stood in a row to receive the congratu-
lations of the guests. The presence of
the Hawaiian Government band. which
played beneath a big tree, was an adj
ded attraction to a pretty school cere-
mony.
Following the reception, Harold Cas-
tie, president of the class, mounted the |
terrace and made an address accom-
panying the presentation of a beautiful
Hawaiian flag to the college on behalf
of the '04 class. As he concluded ne
raised his hand and pointed to the flag
staff and at that moment the ball OF
bunting at the peak broke its fastenlngs
and fiuttered to the breeze, fine en-
bIern of old Hawaii. The band at once
struck I'D Hawaii Ponoi, concluding a
spectacular ceremony in melody Mr..
Castle referred to the Hawaiian ensign
as one to which all scholars had been
endeared by ASSOCIATION IN theIr early
school life.
The Glass Prophecy, very interest
ing fiction, was read by Miss Constance
Restarfck, its amusing particulars and
references to class members being ap-
pIauded
The Glass VIII, a very unique docu-
ment containing the last will and tesla
ment of the senior class, was read by
Ernest n. Smith amid laughter and ap-
plause.
George Canavarro made a brief adj
dress upon the sentiment surrounding
the planting of a class tree, and a very
pretty young shade tree was planted
to the walk leading to Science
Hall and opposite the fourishing hau |
tree planted by the class of '03.
Following the serving of light re-
freshments the guests repaired to the
