HAMAKUAPOKO - A home movie taken in the 1930s that shows the Old Maui High School will be shown at the annual meeting of the Friends of Old Maui High School on Saturday at the old campus.
The 3-minute movie was shot by school Principal Arthur L. Harris, who was at the school from 1932 to 1939. At the time, the school had an enrollment of more than 1,000, with 30 teachers and staff. Many of the buildings in the movie, such as the poultry unit, music room, tennis courts and agriculture building, are gone.
Harris' son, David L., who appears in the movie as a toddler, donated the home movie to the Friends of Old Maui High.
