E lllll f'Punahou, our Punahou means more to us this year than ever before. We didn't Htread the halls much, but nonethe- less we are truly Punahou. Punahou, because we gave our campus to our country, because our boys were among the first to take defense jobs Where they were desperately needed, and because We have just as much spirit off our campus as on it. We Were a hundred and fifty-five strong until December 7, but because of evacuation and numerous jobs we lost 40 of our classmates. After being at Central Union for three weeks, We moved into our new home at the University of Hawaii. As student body president We had Elia Long. He was ably assisted by Mariajane Clarke, vice-president. Barbara Fritschi and Henry Alexander Were secretary and treasurer respectively. Pat Black was the president of the Senior class, Phyllis Frazer, vice-president, Dan Case, treasurer, and Pat Clark, secretary. Our greatest accomplishment was in football. We cheered Punahou back into the football World and felt certain that our year was destined to be one of the best. At the outbreak of war, we forgot our cherished dreams of a beautiful Oahuan and commencement in Dillingham Hall and turned Without a backward glance to the defense of our country. That's our class-the class of i42l The first class in the second century of Punahou! It will long be remembered, even if our pictures do not hang in Bingham Hall, for its excellent cooperation in this great national crisis. .7.
