My grandmother, Heleualani (Lani) Cathcart, graduated from what was then called St. Andrew’s Priory, where she and her younger sister had lived in the care of the English sisters who ran the school since somewhere not long before the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893. She graduated in the class of 1907, but continued to live at the Priory, apparently as a boarder or perhaps a teacher, until her marriage to Duke Yonge in the chapel at St. Andrew’s on September 20, 1911.
This week, I received this lovely photo of her from the school’s archives.
