Obama was a scholarship student at the Punahou School, an elite prep school in Honololu. Two pages from his 1978 senior class yearbook show him playing basketball, and going by the name Barry. He later insisted on the name on his birth certificate (Barack, which was also his father's name), which means "Blessed" in Arabic. Obama went on to graduate from Columbia University.
