RICHARD BALDWIN Richaril, like Mark Twain, can ' t resist the lure of Hawaii Nei. So strong is his sentiment that when he was away from Punahou in his Sophomore year, Richie sent Bull Wright two whole bucks and a hungry appeal for crack- seed. He plays number one on the hard riding Maui polo four which won the island cham- pionship last fall. Richie seems subdued around school, but the fact that he is a mem- ber of the Kailua gang speaks eloquently to the contrary. ELEANOR BICKERTON Though Bickie has a big outside interest, she has nevertheless proved to be one of the most popular members of this honorable class, with both male and female. There could be no other Battalion Sponsor than Bickie, and as a song leailer we couldn ' t ask for more. We shall never forget the cheery manner in which she starts us otf every morning in chapel with her, Come on, everybody sing! Bickie is good-nature personified and as for personality, we ' ll leave that to you. WALDO BOWMAN Racers, roadsters, cabriolets, — all take shape under Waldo ' s pencil whenever he has, or hasn ' t, a moment to spare. Waldo ' s hands are never idle, so the devil can find no opening here. His chief claim to honor is that he once went to sleep during an English achievement test. His slow drawl and smile are dis- tinctive, — as are his wise-cracks in class. LILA BROWN A big percentage of the giggles ami feminine chortles which daily jazz up our dignified halls of learning can be attributed to Spit Brown. She has a funny bone that sees humor in every- thing, everywhere. In P. G. A. A. Lila piles up points nonchalantly, and she won her let- ter in her Junior year. Tho ' happy, she is anything but go-lucky . Had it not been for her conscientious work as costume chair- man, it is certain that the Spring Play could not ha ' e been produced. 29

ALAI ALULI Alai does everything with what Webster terms alacrity, — be it typing, driving her Ford, or playing a basketball game. Her swift- flying fingers won her the position of typist on the Oahuan Staff. In athletic competitions she stars in volleyball, baseball, and basketball games. Business looks up at the Chink Store every noontime when she and Elva land there after a leisurely (?) jaunt via Alai ' s Ford. If asked her favorite dish, she would no doubt answer pink carnation leis. JOHN ANDERSON John, the Paauhau Bull, is one of the farm school gang chiefly responsible for many a dance described as slick. For two years he has led the bleachers in cheers at football games, is Commissioner of Boys ' Athletics on the Student Council, and Adjutant of the Puna- hou Rotcy battalion. In his Sophomore year a feminine admirer enthusiastically described him as the cutest boy in the class, and he has been trying to live down that description ever since. FRANCIS ATKINS Hallowea is the manager of the track team, the modern-hula dancer (hula skirt and striped shorts), and the annual chairman of the class picnic clean-up committee. He is our oflicial sign post, being unanimously elected to make mechanical drawings on the least provo- cation. Among his hobbies is the wearing of baggy golf pants and rolled socks. Among his souvenirs must be a razor, since at times he reminds us of Rip. Doing his best always places him high in the ranks of good sports- manship by the Class of ' 30. MARY AULT Mary is the class sphinx. Altho ' she is often seen around school, very few really know her. She keeps close tab on the styles and is always dressed a la vogue. Possessing a set of nimble fingers, she uses them to advantage in typing and as a pianist. Probably she feels it her duty to uphold the class dignity, at any rate class of chatterboxes. Mary ' s aloof ; makes her unique. m a lence 28

BETTY BURDEN ' Betty is the envy of all the girls for her hair and her always unruffled disposition. She is a shark, especially in English, and if ever her name is absent from the honor roll it is sure to be a mistake. She has traveled a lot, once lived on Guam and in Hongkong, but Punahou seems to hold a fatal attraction for her, as she always comes back. She believes in the motto aim high , and its fulfillment occupies most of her time. WILLARD BUSCHER A charter member of the class of ' 30, Wil- lard left the sixth grade to attend Monte- zuma. The mainland could not hold him, however, and he returned to graduate with the class. He is well known for his taste in shirts, which runs to challis in brilliant colors. Altho ' few know it, he can toot on the cor- net most surprisingly. He is a hiking en- thusiast and a good tennis player. He ' s one of those surprising and little known objects, — a boy who generally steers clear of girls. FAITH CAMERON Faith is one of those blondes — nuff sed, also half of that combination known to fame as the Faithless and Ruthless Camerons. She was once likened to Circe in Ka Punahou, and still gets all het up when reminded of that fact. She is noted for her driving which is speedy but sure, and her last minute assign- ments which always get by. During the term she can be found at the hash house, but holi- days find her headed straight for the Hua- lalai, Maui, and home. NEWTON CAMPBELL A high flier in more ways than one, Newtie is a full-fledged pilot, headed for an aviation school after graduation. His interests are not all up in the air, however, for a hash house member helps to hold him down. He has been a halfback on the football team for two years, as well as pitcher on the baseball squad. His red Chrysler roadster is a familiar sight, and Newtie ' s cheery Want a lift? has got many a boy to the dentist ' s on time. 30
