q group Of BOYS here similar plans? Why not
do this big scale say. for 1913, or indeed for
the Summer of1.lT? Get the boys here al the same
time and then stage 4 big interscholastic entertain
ment,or big interschoastic meet or both. the pro
ceedsto go towards dcfrayng the expenses Of their
trip?
II would be mighty fine thing for the boys and
mighty fine thing for Honolulu.
