lass iMistortr Place: Hauolulu, Ha yaiia. Time : 1925. Occasion : Homesickness. I T was jnst Ave years ago that Jo, Kutli, Katlierine, Luck and I left the good old U. S. A. to take up our vocation as schoolma ' ams in this gay little old town of Honolulu, T. H. Of course, we have been home every summer, but each year when September has rolled around there has been a bit of quaint attractiveness about this cli- mate that has called us back. You know that in our Senior year at the good old P. S. N. S. we made up our minds to come here to teach. Everybody laughed at us, and said that, of course, it was just talk, but we were determined that our dreams should be realized. So here we are, with nothing to regret, for everything is just great in this land of witcherj ' and song. But let us return to the real subject of my letter. You remember, 1 said at the beginning that tiie occasion of this ramble was homesickness. Indeed, it is seldom that one gets a chance to be homesick here, but we have been spend- ing the day at Wakaikee. We swam a little, danced a little, and wound up by going up the beach to an Hawaiian concert given by a troupe ju.st returned from the States. While we were enjoying the music, suddenly they started up, Carry me back to Old ' irginia, the steel guitar taking the lead. A hush fell upon the group, and a mist gathered in each eye. Suddenly we arose and made our way up the beach, and back to Honolulu. So here we are at the hotel, jnst ha ing discarded our wiajis, and for the fiist time the silence is liroken when Ruth pipes up, 1 wonder what ' s going on at the old Normal now? ' ' Well, the rest chimed in, we were just thinking the same thing. So we started talking a bit about our years on the old Hill, hoping our reminiscences would help us to get over the blues.
