The Hui Pauahi gave two small
celebrations last week for the Young
people with wnom they have been as
sociated this term and in this way
gave the term work a Cheerful! end
ing. On Friday evening the Boys
Club met at the club house at the ka-
waiahao church and there had an en-,
tertalnment for the young men. The
evening was spent playing games and
the boys were given a treat 10 ice
cream and cake at the close Of the
evening.
The following Saturday the Girls
Club entertained the girls they have
been working with during the term.
The amusement this time was in the
form of a picnic at Kaa.awai. The
club members and the girls OF the
Kakaako district mingled. together
and a pleasant day was spent. :
Work of Fall Term.
Now for something that the Hui
Pauahi has accomplished during the
eighteen weeks of the fall term. 4
The two branches that have per-
haps been most active are the Girls,
Club under Miss Elizabeth Low and
the Boys Club with Mr.. Dixon Mott
as it's chairman.
The Girls Club met every Monday
evening at the clubhouse at Kawaia-
hao Church and there entertained i
twenty or more girls. Two basket
ball teams have been organized and
the young ladies spent the evenings
playing indoor baseball and basket
ball The smaller girls who could not
play the rougher games amused them
selves by making scrap books.
The work of the Boys Club has
been similar to that of the Girls or
gapization The boys gathered at the
clubhouse once week and enter |
tanned the boys in the same manner
the girls amused their protegees.
The bandage committee under Miss
Ruth Stacker has in all six MEM !
bers. This. committee meets once or
twice a week and makes bandages
which are sent to the Children's Hos
pital. This term thirty-four rolls Of |
bandages were made. There was more
work to be done but the girls were
hfndered because of the lack Of
bandage machines.
The sewing committee with Miss
Elsie Chalmers as it's chairman has
lone a good bit of sewing in the few
months of the term. Their efforts
have been turned towards the fash
ioning of children's garments. A
number of dresses have been COM
9leted and the members have taken
several garments to their. homes to
finish during the holidays. When
these garments are finished they are
turned over to the different charitable
institutions.
The scrap book committee presided
over by Miss Myrtle Schuman did no
definite work until the latter part of
the, term, as the. committee was not
really organized until then. There
are fifteen girls who have since the
latter part of November cut out
large number of pictures and have Sc
cured the red and green cardboard
with which to maze the folders. This
committee meets but once in three
weeks and had only a few meetings
before the closing of school, The
young ladies are confident, however,
that the books will be completed in
the early part of the next term. These
books, when completed, are sent to
the Children's Hospital for the enter
tainment of the little shut ms"
