PUNAHOU PREPS
ARE GRADUATED
Splendid Class Exercises Were
Held Yesterday
Morning.

Chas- r Bishop Hall, Punahou, was
and adjoining classrooms. at the clos
ing exercises of the Preparatory school
yesterday morning. This was Princi
pal Fits first graduating class and
the class itself and the program were
a great credit to him. The hall was
beautifully decorated with flags and
flowers. Green and white, the colors
of the class, predominated.
Eight members of the class spoke for
the class on the program while others
had musical numbers. 1t is impossible
to make selections from the program
for all did well. The speaking was
distinctly audible in all parts of the
big hall
The singing under the direction of
Mr.. Bode was most pleasing. The duet
by Julia Lee, Chinese girl, and Caro-
line Ripley, a girl of Tahitian paren-
tage, was especially applauded
The Selection AN operate Tea" by
the Third Grade, had truly Lillipu-
tan effect. The little people drank,
and clinked their cups and sang the
catchy words in real operate fashion.
Kinau and James Wilder in a French
song, and Margery Wakefield and Ezra
Crane in an American song that savored
of THE Irish, too, and Irish stew"
called forth vigorous applause. The
girls from the upper grades in their
white dresses and blue ribbons and
sashes not only made a pretty tableau
but also sang p1easing1y.
oil 1on he
probably the speech on Wireless Tele-
graphy by Alexander Anderson, was
the most original. He gave a lucid
explanation of the theory of the send
ing of wireless messages and then pro-
ceeded to demonstrate how they were
sent. In this he was assisted by Archie
Sinclair. Messages were sent back and
forth across the stage by the two boys
much to the interest of the audience.
These boys have practically. mastered
this intricate subject by themselves.
Except for the more delicate parts of
the instruments they built the parts
themselves, and put them together.
They have become expert in sending
and receiving messages.
The drill of the Kings Guard was
executed with military precision. The
and turning, and counter
showed much drill.
The graduating class marched upon
the stage, and here Randolph Hitch
cock, for the class, presented beau
tiful koa table and two koa chairs to
the school,
Principal Fits then delivered the
diplomas in a brief speech, replete with
sound advice, to the following students.
