NORMAN TOPPING BOOTH, Department Head. Trained for the profession of teaching, 
Norman T. Booth, in charge of the shipping department of the American Can 
Co.’s Honolulu plant, accepted his first position as principal of a school in 
East Marion, N.Y., in 1915. Two years later he came to Hawaii as an instructor 
at the Mid-Pacific Institute, remaining there for a year, when he resigned and 
left for the mainland to enter the Officers’ Training Camp at Camp Taylor, Ky. 
Upon the signing of the Armistice he returned to Hawaii and joined the 
American Can Co. as shipping clerk. In 1922 and 1923 he served as a lieutenant 
in the Headquarters Company of the 298th Infantry Regiment of the Hawaiian 
National Guard, resigning his commission in the latter year. He is an 
instructor in business courses at the Honolulu Y.M.C.A. night school.
  Born at Bridgehampton, N.Y., Aug. 18, 1896, Mr. Booth is the son of Alvin S. 
and Bessie (Topping) Booth. His ancestors came to America from England in 1640 
and founded the town of Southold, Long Island, N.Y. He attended Pierson High
