  • Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure Time Activities Have Always Excited Great Interest and Enthusiasm Among
    Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure time activities have always excited great interest and enthusiasm among Hawaii's residents. Long before Captain Cook's arrival, the ancient Hawaiians danced, sang, fished, played sports and games and produced works of considerable artistic merit.1 Since 1778, the range of recreational, entertainment, and sporting activities available to Islanders has greatly increased. It now encompasses parks, zoos, museums, and libraries, plays and movies, concerts and recorded music, radio and television, comic strips and crossword puzzles, and numerous participant and spectator sports, from professional baseball to snorkeling and hang gliding. To the social historian, the origins of these pursuits is a matter of considerable interest. It is impossible, obviously, to assign a date to the first Hawaiian konane game or holua sled, the first hula, or the earliest recreational fishing. More recent developments, however, can often be traced. When did Hawaii have its first community theater? Its first camera club ? Its earliest basketball game ? Information on such subjects frequently exists, but in widely scattered and poorly documented form. The following pages stem from an effort to pull some of this fugitive material together, to footnote it, and make it available to a wider public. The choice of items for inclusion was inevitably somewhat arbitrary and idiosyncratic, and their miscellaneous nature precluded any rigorous organizational format. Designating any event "first" is moreover a risky business: a compilation of this kind can hardly avoid occasional incom- pleteness and inaccuracy. With this caveat, then, here are the "firsts". Robert C. Schmitt is Hawaii State Statistician.
