GRADUATES A
fine CLASS

| >WAlLURU, Maui, June l5.-LaSt
Wednesday was typical Lahaina day,
warm and beautiful Lahainaluna was
ia its full glory of color and the splen
did Lahainaluna campus and fine large
i buildings were none too large for the
accommodation of the hundreds of
guests on the occasion, Of the eighty
second commencement
The completion of the handsome
new dining hall on the. campus and it's
use for the first time on Wednesday
4 helped to swell the number of the
interested guests of the occasion. The
fact. too, that eight boys were to be
graduated, the large attendance al
jthe school this year, the traction of
able speakers helped I'd make the
graduation day the Target and big
gest affair in many years tof the La
hainaluna history.
The exercises began promptly after
the commencement procession COM
| posed of graduates, faculty and guests
of honor marched to their places on
| the platform. 1t seemed as If every
seat was then taken in the big assem-
bly, hall, but fully a hundred more
we're seated~and one or two hundred
were standing Beng the corridors and
lanais of the big building.
The famous Lahainaluna School
song started off the program with en-
thusiasm Rev. r. B. Dodge, pastor
of the Waikiki Union Church, offered
the invocation Glee Club and reci-
tations followed in quick succession
| for an hour, after which Rev. A. Craig
Bowdish, pastor of the Paia Union
Church, delivered an admirable adj
dress upon "The Formation of Habits.
The splendid voice of the speaker rang
through the big hall ana he was close
| ly listened to as he drew striking IL
| Illustrations from the lives of Washing
ton, Lincoln and other famous men. in
American life and history. He urged
| the boys to form habits of work and
| industry and showed them the neces-
city of the early formation OF other
good habits. He paid an eloquent trib-
ute to Kamehameha and to the early
! influence of Vancouver in these
| islands.
He was followed by Rev. Isaac u;
Iaea, pastor of the Kaluaaha Church,
who is graduate OF the Lahainaluna
School and who spoke in glowing
terms of what the school stood for,
of the work it had done and was doing
and called upon all the people there to
show their loyalty to the magnificent
| institution by sending boys to Lahaina-
luna and helping the school in every
way possible.
The music. of the day was notewor
thy. The Glee Club did some excep-
tionally fine work The solo part was
taken by Samuel Mookini, one OF the
teachers of the school, and the leader
of the boys in music. The Glee Club
was good in both its instrumental
work and the songs scattered through
the program
The declarations by the graduates
were we'll rendered. The two original
essays: 'The Price of War" by U. XII
lnoshita and west Maui" by John
Kahananui were excellent and well
delivered. The facts and interesting
information brought out in these es-
says. we're well worth hearing and
stamped the quality sof the work done
lin the Lahainaluna school as of the
best possible for school of its grade.
The address to the graduates by
