" The Punahou Class of 1959 enters Kindergarten in 1946 "

81 of us entered Punahou together in Kindergarten in 1946.

53 of the 81 graduated 13 years later in the Class of 1959.

By graduation in 1959 we numbered 326. We had gathered in another 273 wonderful friends with us along the way. And we enjoyed the companionship of other "part-timers" during those 13 years who will always remain part of our '59 family.

"Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile (at Kindergarten) and in Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

• Share everything.
• Play fair.
• Don't hit people.
• Put things back where you found them..
• Clean up your own mess.
• Don't take things that are not yours.
• Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Flush.
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
• Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
• Take a nap in the afternoon.
• When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
• Be aware of wonder."
