"We have approximately two ( hundrfed boys here !n the sch'ooī." Since December 7, 1941, we have purchased approximately §86,000 worth of War Bonds v and Stamps. This amount includes the faculty _ investments too. As you ean see,' the per capita investment is very bigh overe here and is in keeping With the outstanding record of Uie territory whieh has led the nation. since December 7, 1941.

"The other grades of the school their contributions too. 'We have carried out a scrap metal drive whieh accumulated ssveral hundred pounds of metal. We have " juat now completed a magazine book,drive for the boys down under. The Red Cross called for our collection, whieh numbered several r dozen of the best maga- , zines ,an4 books.

"Our SQhool is a private boardLag aehool for Hawaiian boys ofily. We therefore ,live right here on the eampua and find time to grow \yar gardens; maintain the ROTC unit with regular drills and ceremonies; and carry on regular service campaigns here on the eampus.

"The eighth, ninth, and tenth grades carry on worthwhile eampaigna here on thc campus, The highest reward for service i's a citation and Junior Civilian Defense Insignla whieh are present-" ed on Sunday evening durirtg the assembly program. The *citation ls written by the faculty and' reviews the contributions made by the candidate.

"Our stnadards are high "and only a few boys have achieved this high honor. We conSider it comparable to receiving the bistingufshed Servicē Medal. Many of our boys have ptirchased over" $500 worth of bonds. This alone, however, does not warrant a eitation. The boy must be doing good work on his part-time job or makine valuable and outstanding contributions here on th'e eampus. "There are many other requireI ments such as: Gas mask in pro- | per order and avaiīable at all times; blood type and ideh'tification card; OCD booklet «p-to-date with proper information hi tt; Aj3ierican Observers, WeeklyNe\va Review, and other publications properly boūnd.

"Many of our stucJents and £aculty "members are b!6o<l doners for the blood "bank at Queen*s Hospital. Many who contr!bated before December 7, 1941, ean feel that they helped save many lives here.

"We are proud of o'ui* rocord here and try to be worthy of our class moŪo: L,ET'S TALK ABOUT ĪT AND THEN DO TT. Doing something here is recognized universally as of most worth. We work during vacatlons and liolidays — this is the accepteu \vay of life today īn Hawaii.
