ALE!-IA To the members of the class of 1950 Mrs. Benson has been far more than just an English teacher. As our class advisor she has worked always with our best interests at heart. Her unselfish willingness to de- vote her time and effort toward making every detail of graduation perfect has endeared her to all of us. gg-5 fix. Leaving Punahou to take care of her family, Mrs. Benson is saying aloha with us. VVe'd like, before she leaves, to tell her that her memory will live in our lN hearts always. CLASS OF 1950 Big, strong, hot and nifty, We're the class of nineteen fifty! Yep! That's us! Strong because in unity there is strength, hot and nifty because we do things bigger and better than anyone else. We who are graduating at the midpoint of the century are leaving some rather deep tracks at Punahou, but we still have a whole world to cover with another half century in which to do it. Ahead lies advancement in education and mature living. Although we now separate and take widely varied ways, each graduate will be proud to carry the banner of 1950 through life. Remembering all the things Punahou taught us, we'll try to make Punahou proud of us. We're saying Aloha in the true sense of the word, with a mixture of love, pride, loyalty, and just plain Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. N L
