KA LEILEHUA WlTl-l CONFIDENT HOPES of publishing an original and satisfactory KA LEI- LEHUA, nineteen active seniors started making plans in September under the supervision of Mrs. Paul E. Summers. During past years, annuals have been, more or less, the work of only a few seniors, but this year the senior class undertook the yearbook as a project. Regular class periods were set aside each week to work on the annual instead of working outside or after school, making it easier for members of the staff to work together. Another innovation was the exclusion of advertisements without raising the price of the book. Since no money was to be raised outside, staff members have worked very hard trying to get a larger subscription list than in previous years. A literary contest, in which both intermediate and high school divisions took part, was conducted. All essays, poems and short stories were first judged by English teachers and the three best in each group sent to Dr. Blake Clark, professor of English of the University of Hawaii for his final judgment. Copies of this edition of KA l.Ell..El-lUA were awarded as prizes and the articles printed in the literary section. Art students were encouraged to enter their best hibiscus drawings for the division pages, with the first prize winner awarded a copy of KA LElLEHUA. The tapa cover with its hibiscus and rainbow design carries out the senior class choice of flower and color. Lively cartoons in the l-lall of Fame with biographies of outstanding seniors are new features, also, replacing the pictures and write-ups of various racial clubs. Candid camera sketches enliven some of the latter portions of the book. ' Attempts to change the outer appearance of the book resulted in a new color scheme and a different type of cover. To keep the inside in harmony with the unusual cover, sepia-green ink was used on ivory book paper.

THE SENTINEL WITH THE journalism decalogue firmly impressed upon their minds, thirty-six future editors under the direction of Mrs. Paul E. Summers, started their quest of the why, when, where, what, who and how of writing news. The fundamental aim of the staff has been to issue a school paper for the en- tire student body, covering all news accurately, introducing new features from time to time and devoting one whole page to humor. One experimental edition, printed on book paper, was issued for student approbation. Hearty approval of its present improved form, lack of funds and the desire to make THE SENTINEL wholly a school project were responsible for con- tinuation of the mimeographed sheet. There is a remote chance that some day the cherished aim of having a school press will be realized, but until that time, the class consensus is that the appear- ance of the paper is only secondary and that good news-writing is the primary goal of young journalists. Last year the journalism staff was given the privilege of being special cor- respondents to The Honolulu Star-Bulletin for the districts of Wahiawa and Waialua. This year the class took advantage of this privilege to the extent of 260 inches of rural news at the present time. ln the month of February alone, no less than 87 inches of news written by the class was printed in The Honolulu Star- Bulletin. Various editors for the year have been Mae Sakamoto, Morris Shinsato, Mary D. lay and Revocato Medina. The staff supplemented their book learning of journalism technique with a trip to Honolulu to visit McKinley's The Daily Pinion, The Honolulu Star- Bulletin, The Advertiser and The Nippu lijif' Altogether, it has been a year of improvement for the staff and interest for the four hundred subscribers.
