Tell me old girl, what have you seen since your founding in 1831?

Ah, a King, a Queen, a Governor and a President, chaos, anarchy, revolution and war.

Fires and winds have threatened you but the students fears and joys have kept you alive.

Your boys have fought on the gridiron and on the beaches of Europe

Yes, a lot has happened since 1831 and yet you still stand proudly in the sun.

You shuddered as you were told that students would not be allowed back within your walls and you were very sad. But then you became glad when you were told it was time for a return to normalcy.

What is normal for you? I’m sure if I had more time you would tell me what that would be. But, for now, you’ve said a lot.

I leave, feeling some of the pain and joy of Lahainaluna since 1831.
