By Arthur FltMlmmons Having worKed fof five months on a part-time T>ās!s, _ the loweieventh boys will eonlinue their iobā on a full time schedule for the summer vacation. By this they continued to help' tīie war effort and at the same time increased their knoWledge in the vocational field that eaeh of the boys has chosen. The low eleventh class does not usually go out on part-time during that year, but due to the war and the labor shortage in Hono'lulu, these boys have been allowed to go on part-time. These boys, like the rest of the students at Kamehameha, receive their primary training in the shops at the aehool. These shops are well equipped and early training there enables a boy to step into -any part-time job easily. Eaeh boy receives the fundamental training under very able shop instructors. The jobs that these boys have were acquired for them by Mr. eiaude C. Banning, who for the past 10 years has acted as eoiordinator between the schools and the loeal companies. When school begins in the fall thc boys will again return to the part-t!me schedule. This gives a boy two weeks m scliool and two weeks working. When the boys are on part-time, they keep in contact with their school subjects by having night classes.
