The Saturday night activities for the student body on April 22, were calling and movies.
The senior division enjoyed dancing and a social gathering which began at 7:30 o’clock in the common room of Lunalilo hall.
Two color movies were shown to the junior division at the school for boys’ assembly hall.
“A Victory”, a picture filmed for the Junior Police Officers on the K.S.B. campus, featured Samuel Fontaine, brother of David Fontaine, low-eleventh student at K.S.B., and James Noa, a ninth grader at the school for boys.
In the second feature, “Make Way for Victory”, two boys of the Preparatory department, Kealoha Coleman and Kui Lee, had leading roles. There were also dances by the preparatory pupils directed by Mrs. Mary K. Pukui and Mrs. Lei Hapai.

Some chased after from Hotel, Fort, King, until Bishop streets. Continue reading
