I seem to also think that it must be a local illustrator. Perhaps some one that Dorothy Kahananui knew? I have found a scholarship in her name at the University of Hawaii in 2008.

A building at UH was named for her...

Music Building 1.

"She was "a brilliant, dedicated music educator.. .a scholar of Hawaiian music and chant.. . [and] a tireless and outstanding teacher of the Hawaiian language." From 1923 through the war years, she was the major influenceon music education in the state. It was her leadership that helped bring the UHM Music Department to its present level of excellence. She served on the UHM faculty from 1931 until her retirement in 1960. Initially she taught all ten music courses offered in the Teacher's College; her commitment to the cause of music education became legendary. Besides teaching courses for prospective and in-service teachers and supervising student teaching of music, she also taught music history, conducted a non-credit glee club for 20 years, and presented weekly music lessons via radio for Hawai'i's public schools. She was also co-founder and president of the Hawai'i Music Educators Association.

Oh, here she is...

Perhaps a faculty member did those for her... I guess I'm off to UH tomorrow. I have to go there anyway for a related lead I'm following up on... More later...
