Pau Hana Years.

A new day for older Americans.

A time for living.

Your host, Bob Barker.

Hi and welcome to the program for and by  the senior citizens of Hawaiʻi.

Today,   Pau Hana Years is in Mendonca Gym at  Booth District Park for an Aloha week   program presented by the Pauoa senior citizens.

We remember with aloha, Queen Liliʻuokalani.

Our mixed bouquet will consist of three  presentations, first in their native costumes,   the Pauoa senior citizens will bring the hoʻokupu  or gifts to the Queen, much like they would have   done had they been there at ʻIolani Palace on  a beautiful Wednesday morning, such as this.

Second presentation will be a holoku parade, and  the third a garden scene in her lovely garden.

Uluhaimalama, located here in Pauoa Valley, Queen Liliʻuokalani, portrayed by Mrs.

Ruth   Nakoa is escorted to the stage by Gary  Tanouye, recreation director of Booth   District Park and the advisor to the Pauoa  Senior Citizens Club.

Queen Liliʻuokalani,  The muʻumuʻu worn by Mrs.

Ruth Nakoa as Queen  Liliʻuokalani is of lovely white lace lined   with heavy, heavy satin.

The round neckline at  the edges of the long sleeve are trimmed with   ruffles lace covered buttons run down the front  of the rounded yoke.

This muʻumuʻu was made for   Mrs.

Nakoa by her mother, Mrs.

Mary Kahale Sing  in 1950 with much thought and aloha.

She wears   the royal ʻilima lei.

On this day, in ʻIolani  Palace, at ʻIolani Palace, we have the Pauoa   senior citizens group bringing their hoʻokupu,  or their gifts of aloha to Queen Liliʻuokalani.

escorted out by Mr.

Gary Tanouye.

Starting the parade of holokus is Mrs.

Marjorie   Joseph, who is modeling this purple tissue taffeta  holoku with very fine black linear designs.

The velvet ribbons that are hanging are used to  accentuate the neckline.

And the empire waist,   the train, and at the wrist  of the leg of mutton sleeves.

Our next holoku is being modeled by Mrs.

Clara  Yuen.

The lace of this triangular Bertha collar   has the same figurative designs as that of the  black designs on the red holoku.

The peacock train   was double.

It has rows and rows of ruffles.

Mrs.

Mary Sing made this garment in the year 1938 and   she won the first prize in one of the holoku balls  that were held in the old Moana Hotel ballroom.

And now we present Mrs.

Carrie Souza modeling  an amber satin holoku.

The sweetheart neckline   and the tapered three quarter sleeves, which  are buttoned, was the style of that era in   1940.

Over her shoulders is draped this black silk  embroidered shawl which added color to the holoku.

Our next model is Mrs.

Minnie Lum wearing  a blue holoku.

The fabric is designed with   pink silk threads woven into it.

The pink  lace collar is scalloped and shirred at   the front.

The flowing lace sleeves also with  scalloped edges, complete this lovely holoku.

The next one is being modeled by Mrs.

Margaret Boychuk.

The decolletage,   or the neckline of this scalloped Bertha collar,  is shirred in the center and is being modeled by   this lovely mother.

The shirring is also repeated  at the top and at the wrists of the long sleeves.

This printed moccassette holoku with satin  stripes was made by Mary Sing in the year 1926.

This, of course, is one of the popular ones of the  era in 1920.

It is being modeled by Mrs.

Gurley   Ryan wearing a black printed silk holoku.

It was  during this time that this type of design and   material was introduced into the islands, in 1920.

This peacock train, as we call it, as well as all   of the other trains in the collection are designed  and faced with a hem, rather than being turned up.

This is a little bit more on the modern side,  and it is being modeled by Mrs.

Pearl Nam,   a holoku of lavender print.

Note the sweetheart  neckline, which was painstakingly trimmed with   satin piping.

It's very difficult to see at a  distance, but one must approach her very closely.

It is also designed with elbow length flared  sleeves.

The flared portion is lined with   solid satin, and so is the faced hemline.

This holoku that is being modeled by Mrs.

Ivy Bento was the fad of the day.

It is  a beautiful black garment.

And the lei   that she wears are the pupu Niʻihau.

The fabric  and the bodice of this long peacock train is of   embroidered silk crepe.

It is complemented with a  felt brimmed hat and an ostrich plume.

This holoku   was made to be worn specifically for the ʻAhahui  Kaʻahumanu functions.

Ladies and gentlemen, this   completes the presentation of holokus from the  collection of Mrs.

Ruth Nakao, her beloved mother,   Mrs.

Mary Kahale Sing was noted for her delicate  workmanship.

Most of the fabrics are not available   at the stores in Hawaiʻi today because of the  classic designs and the use of fine fabrics.

These   garments.

are still functional today.

Chanting in Hawaiian Oh, my You, oh, my you.

Oh, oh, my he Ola, no matter.

Our kahili bearers, Mr.

Albert Sing, Mr.

John Boyd.

Thank you very, very much.

And now the  ladies tell you all about Makakilo.

Aloha kuʻu home aʻo Makakilo, Aia i ka   nani aʻo Makakilo.

And now we bring our two gentlemen out  as they tell you all about them being the   servant of the King.

Here's "I Aliʻi Nō ʻOe."

(I Aliʻi) I aliʻi nō ʻoe i kanaka au lā.

I aliʻi nō ʻoe i kanaka au lā.

I noho aku au aʻi kuke nāu lā I kuene hoʻi nā ko nui kino lā.

He keu no ʻoe a ke aloha ʻole lā I nēia mau maka ʻimo aku nei lā.

Haʻina ʻia mai ana ka puana lā I aliʻi nō oe i kanaka au lā.

The queen is elegant in this aqua silk chiffon  holoku with velvet floral designs.

It is styled   with sweetheart neckline and three quarter  sleeves.

She wears pikake in her hair and   a pikake lei to say mahalo to all of us.

Queen Liliʻuokalani will sing one of her   favorite compositions, "Paoakalani."

And  she wrote this song for her beautiful,   in remembrance of her beautiful garden.

Uluhaimalama which is here in Pauoa.

E ka gentle breeze a pa mai nei Hoʻohāliʻaliʻa mai ana iaʻu E kuʻu sweet never fading flower I pua i ka uka o Paoakalani ʻIke mau i ka nani o nā pua O ka uka o Uluhaimalama ʻAʻole naʻe hoʻi e like Me kuʻu pua i ka laʻi o Paoakalani ʻIke mau i ka nani o nā pua O ka uka o Uluhaimalama ʻAʻole naʻe hoʻi e like Me kuʻu pua i ka laʻi o Paoakalani And that's Pau Hana Years for today, an Aloha week program presented by the Pauoa Senior  Citizens and Mendonca gym at Booth District Park,   until our next program.

This is Bob Barker leaving  you with this thought, to make good use of life   when young one should have the experience  of age and when old, the vigor of youth.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember without  a hurt, the heart is hollow.

Deep in December,   it's nice to remember the fire of September  that made us mellow Deep in December,   our hearts should remember and follow  (follow, follow, follow) follow.
