lf eoelqsli Hilo High rcmembers Pearl Harbor. She has had to close her doors for weeks only to open again to a partial program, decentralized into eight ditsrict units, cur- tailed as to length of school day. restrictcd as to use ol' build- ing space, and limited as to size of study groups. And too, within a few weeks after the reopening of school, she has had to answer a request for field workers to save Ha- waii's now more than essential sugar crop. The majority of the boys and a considerable percentage of the girls went into harness and were granted work credits for the remainder of the year, And with the arrival of troops necessitating temporary barracks, she has had to see the school week further shortened from five to three half-days. Of course Hilo High remembers Pearl Harbor. She has had, when classes were resumed again in the fall Ca month latel, to gather the threads and to maintain a sense of normalcy which she was not to keep for long. For while the army had returned all sections of the building to the school, the problem of transportation of country youngsters under war time rationing, had not been solved and there was felt the expedicncy to set up a subsidiary unit at Olaa to care for students of the Puna llistrict. Then came demands. almost harrassing demands, for and on her student power. Never before has been asked 'iso much in so little time. Here was a destiny, strange and impelling, to be mct and she had to gear to the test. She had still to keep before her charges the ntccssity to hold to the fundamentals in the face of these demandsg too, she had to ie-examine her program and re-evaluate it in the light of the rapidly changing front, and through the hysteria, interpret the essentials, howcve: rcinovtd they may seem, as basic to a dynamic democracy.
