Activities of 7-1 As a result of the inter-class football games played last fall, we see the 7-1's gaining a rather prominent part on the gridiron. Out of the five games played in the seventh grade league, the 7-l's managed to emerge with four hard fought vic- tories. Those who battled on the field were Donald Perreira, Fred Mosher, Lawrence Newman, Harold Marshall, Robert jackson, Herbert Martin, George Dwight, Vincent Perry, Myron Hettema, james Clarke, Roy Araujo, James Moran and Webb Beggs. Last Christmas the 7-l's held a very enjoyable party. It was a day everybody looked forward to because a delightful time was promised all. In the line of re- freshments, nothing seemed lacking for there was a variety of salads, cookies, can- dies, soda water, delicious molded ice cream and tempting cakes. To bring the party to a successful close, the true Christmas spirit was heightened by the dis- tributing of gifts to each pupil. ln the month of February, the 7-l's decided to give a candy sale. The pupils standing highest in scholarship were selected to arrange the candy boxes and after this a box was distributed to each pupil to sell. As the day drew to a close, Mrs. Gonsalves counted the money and found that we had made a profit of 36.90. The money was promptly added to our finances. March 25, 1931, was a banner day for the 7-l's since they had the privilege and honor of presenting a program before the seventh and eighth grades in the auditorium. The program opened with A Mule Story by Telephone told by Robert Jackson. This was followed by a piano solo played by Marion Aiu. Next came a recitation, The Patchwork Quiltf, by Rachel Soares, A skit, A Night at Camp. in which Cyrus Loo, Myron Hettema, Harry Bush, Fred Mosher, VVebb Beggs and Robert jackson took part proved enjoyable. Virginia Cruse recited In or In, a reading from Penrod and Sam, and this was followed by a gypsy dance by Patricia Anderson. A few harmonica solos by Harry Bush and Cyrus Loo followed Patricia's dance. He put him off, by Webb Beggs, ended the pro- gram. Credit must be given to those who assisted with the decorations, lights and curtains. This is a short summary on the events which have played a part during the school year for home room 202. I.

Activities of 7-3 The 7-3 class is composed of children coming from different schools, including Lincoln, Kapalama, Aliiolani, Kaahumanu, August Ahrens in Waipahu, and from the schools in the mainland. There were meetings held. Discussions of the milk contest and giving prizes to the pupils who drank the most milk were held. Kenneth Powers, one of the pupils of the 7-3 class, who had good school spirit and drank 125 bottles, was re- warded with 31.00. The second prize was given to Wilson Bordner. who drank 112 bottles, receiving 50 cents. The third and fourth prizes were given to Vivian Nobriga and Eugene Todd, who received 25 cents each. Basketball was a game greatly favored in this class. We won from the other seventh grades, once from the eighth and twice from the ninth grade. Baseball is the game now being played. Different excursions were made to the pumping station, Hind-Clarke Dairy and the .Academy of Arts. Only part of the class could go to the pumping station and Hind-Clarke Dairy, but everyone 'went to the Academy of Arts. Activities of 7-4 One Friday in March our science class, the 7-4s, went with Mr. Hayward on a visit to the Hind-Clarke Dairy. Some of the pupils went with Mr. Hayward in his automobile and the rest went on the streetcar. There was a truck waiting for us at the end of the carline. ' On the way to the dairy we passed small truck farms and the Waialae Golf Course? At last we reached our destination. - The first thing we saw was the cows being washed. There were Holstein and Guernsey cows, which were the largest and healthiest we had ever seen. They were washed by men dressed in white clothing. The cows then passed to the milking room where they were milked by electricity and afterwards by hand. We then visited the, calves. There were about twelve. When a calfis born, certain men make a sketch of it so that it may be easily identified. After that we left them and went to look at the bulls. There were only three of them and all had rings in their noses. They looked very ferocious. 26
