The welcoming committee of pretty co-eds added to the beauty of Kauai. The members of the team were also honored at a spirited assembly.

The hospitality shown them by the Iolani football squad added to the success of their trip. ber Throngs of enthusiastic students attended the initial opening of the K.I.F. football season for the year. We were hosts to Kauai High. Our snappy baton twirlers provided a much appreciated half-time entertainment.
