MESSAGE FROM FORMER STUDENT The Senior Class has had news from Eric Larson, now in Hawaii. Eric was a member of their class until the close of last year. The class appreciates hearing from Eric and will pass his message along to others. Eric says in part: “It is rather late for me to be homesick; nevertheless, I have been feeling very eager for everyone and everything back home, of winter sports, school activities, hikes and oamplng with the Troop. I think of Suzanne Kleinknlght and others in my class, also, from time to time. “Do you have much snow, and is the lake frozen? Ido not miss the weather, but it is odd to have summer in December. Even tho it was gloomy and misty today, I noticed a beautiful, but faint rainbow, arching Makai (seaward). and Mauka (toward the Mountai mountains.) Sometimes the sunset sky is royal blue, or pink with black clouds, or a shady orange. “Today I saw a blue bus with white stars all over it, and signs saying ’Mele Kaliklmaka’ (Merry Christmas). Decorations have been going up and window displays are now completed, nearly competing with Chicago as remembered. The city’s decorations, combined with modern architecture and tropical landscaping make outstanding scenes. Hono- 1 lulu is a very beautiful city, es-1

Trees are treated with the utmost care; sidewalks are often seen angling around a tree; bus stops are placed away from trees to keep them from being injured, and in any case the tree comes first.
