Entrants mill be divided into two classed, boys of 16 years and under the junior division and boys of 21 years and under in the senior class. The strongest competition in Hawaii is expected at this contest since Maui has for three consecutive years won the island honors in The Star-Bulletin contest and today holds the record fcr unlimited outdoor models. Twelve excellent prizes are being offered, according to Damkroger, for each division. The plane contest has been one of the most popular events for young and old during the past two county fairs.

REORGANIZE CLASS AND STUDY SCHEDULE AT KAM BOYS' SCHOOL Complete reorganization of the Kamehameha School for Boys class and study schedules has been adopted by the school faculty, to go into effect Monday. The plans were worked out by Dr. Homer F. Barnes, principal-, with the cooperation of members of the staff. The three general phases of the change are the transfer of morning work period to the afternoon, the scheduling of six of the seven class periods in the morning, and the shifting of study groups from the main hall to the various dormitories.

The new schedule will give the cadets a longer period for sleep and will obviate the necessity of classes Saturday mornings. Two cannot quarrel when one will not.

VITAL STATISTICS STAR-BULLETIN $8 PER YEAR LETTER EN OE HONOLULU. closes with Lahainaluna a full fledged high school with its doors open to both boarders and day students, including girls. To Stage Pageant The creation of the Hawaiian Islands, the early mythology of Maui, and the four periods of Lahaina-luna's past history will all be featured in a spectacular pageant, to be given next June by the children cf Lahainaluna high school. The pageant has been written and will be directed by Elmer J. Anderson, instructor in English and journalism.

He intends to use a public address system to furnish the music and provide the necessary verbal transitions between episodes. Other activities will also commemorate the anniversary year, but definite plans as yet are not avail- able. It has been intimated, however, that the whole community of Lahalna will back, the school on the hill and play hast to the hundreds of graduates who will return to their alma mater next spring. Early History Lahainaluna dates its history back 100 years to the general meeting in June, 1831, when the early missionaries voted to establish a i school which would turn out helpers for them in the mission field. Lorrin Andrews was selected for the task of organizing the school, end the job of selecting a site also fell upon him.

Accordingly, when Andrews arrived at Lahaina, he met Itichards, who had been stationed at Lahaina since 1S23, and who had one time been an associate of ,1 his in religious work. They set out together to pick a suitable place for this new institution. They did not stop at Lahaina, proper, for at that time the Hawaiian royal court was located there, making it impossible to expect work from the young men who would be surrounded by the high life of Kamehameha's society. This wa3 especially true since the first students to enroll at Lahainaluna were young married men in the twenties and thirties and were in the main of royal descent. Boarding School The missionaries in Hawaii had voted to establish a mission school without first acquainting their patrons in the New England states of their action.

Accordingly, the missionaries had to make their plan self-supporting, as they had no money of their own. The idea of a boarding school was thus born in the minds of the early missionaries. Consequently, not only was a site needed, but land to grow taro became a prime requisite. Outside of Lahaina at that time there was little else than semi-arid hills. But Richards and Andrews had an eye to the future.

They discovered a stream running to the sea in a gulch that was known to the Hawaiians at that time as Kawula, meaning red gorge. They figured that this water would some day make the dusty hillside into a fertile field. The site thus settled upon was about two miles up the mountain slope. Governor Hoapili. through his wife Keopuolani's (also known as Hoapiiiwahine one-time wife of Kamehameha I) intercession, granted the missionaries 1000 acres of this arid land, 25 of which were soon turned into taro cultivation.

Later Kamehameha II confirmed this grant. Early Struggles The first few years of Lahaina- luna's history marks a period of toil seldom seen in any group of people. The missionaries wanted to train school teachers and preachers who would be able to spread Christian- NOMINATE OFFICERS AT NORMAL SCHOOL Two representatives' from each class at the territorial normal school were elected Friday to serve on a committee to nominate candidates for officers of the Normal Student Body association this year. Election will be held next Friday. Those named to serve on the committee are Harriet Ruzuki, Rose Chow Hoy, third year; Jean Nakano, Bernice Barker, second year; John Ventura, William Baker, first year.

To plan a wee golf tournament among the three classes, Howard Simpson, dean of men, is calling a meeting of class representatives Monday. PUNAH0U FACULTY TO ENJOY TWO PARTIES The faculty of Punahou will give two parties during October. Today a steak roast will be held at the Hauck-Castle camp at Mokapu. On Hallowe'en a bridge will be given in Dole hall, on the Punahou campus. Plans have not been completed for this bridge but will be announced later.

None of the students understood English, so Andrews decided that it would be more expedient to translate the common branches such as geography, arithmetic, writing, spelling and reading into the Hawaiian language. With this end in view a printing press was transported to Lahainaluna so that text books could be prepared in the native language. Much of what we now know about the early Hawaiians can thus be credited to the early teachers at Lahainaluna. The burden of financing the mission school became too great for the missionaries so negotiations were entered into with the royal government. In 1849, under Richard Armstrong, the king's minister of public- instruction, the seminary became a part of the Hawaiian system of schools.

During this period (1849 to the end of the monarchy) the school was in the hands of the royal government. Lahainaluna remained preddminently religious until 1877. At that time the Lahainaluna church passed out of existence and the English language was adopted by the school as the medium of instruction. It is said that at this period La-hainaluna's fame had spread to the mainland. People in the gold fields of California sent their laundry to Honolulu and their children to Lahainaluna.

Lahainaluna as an educational in-' stitution lost considerable of its prestige when the Kamehamena schools were organized. The buildings became run down and instruction waned. Accordingly, C. A. MacDonald was given the task in 1903 of reorganizing the school under the department of public instruction.

The old buildings constructed in 1855 were torn down in 1904 and a new set of dormitories, together with an assembly hall were constructed. In 1916 the school again changed managements. A commission, iirst of four later of five members, controlled the institution until 1923. This commission consisted of the chairman of the Maui county supervisors, the educational commissioner of Maui and three other persons named by the governor. During this later period the course of study included five grades corresponding to the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth.

Especial emphasis was paid at this time to shop work and agriculture. Forty per cent of the boys attending the school at this period were of Hawaiian origin, which was a considerably greater proportion than attended the public scnools. Becomes High School. In 1923 the school came directly under the control of the department of public instruction. It was deemed advisable at that time to make Lahainaluna a high school which would serve the est Maui children.

Thus today Lahainaluna has a day school to which both boys and girls from Lahaina and the surrounding country can come, and a boarding department tnat admits boys from the island of Maui as well as from other islands. Under the direction of H. Alton Rogers, principal, Lahainaluna has risen to the ranks of a first rate high school. He has converted the school from a public liability to an institution which functions efficiently both in the educational and financial realms. The enrollment has swelled 133 per cent since 1924.

There are at present over 270 students enrolled, about 100 boys are in the board department, while of the 170 day students, only abut 75 are girls. TEN MILES UP BRUSSELS. In a special balloon, suspended from which will be a hollow aluminum ball, Prof. M. Piccard of the" University of Brussels plans a ten-mile ascent into the air.

The professor plans to seal himself up in the ball with a companion. At that altitude machinery will be necessary to supply air and to maintain a normal atmospheric pressure.
