OUR COVER PICTURES

Front Cover. Scottish Country Dancer Glenys Corbin of Hastings, features our cover this month. Glenys, who is nearly 19 years old, is an I.B.M. punch card operator for Wattie‘s Canneries and has a keen interest in dancing.

Back Cover. This picture shows the old and the new as work moves rapidly on the new Puketapu Bridge being built to replace the picturesque but rickety old suspension bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Hawke’s Bay.

Classical ballet, the most difficult and arduous form of dancing, seems so easy when performed by Diane Clare of Gisborne, who was a winning competitor at the recent Napier Festival of Arts.

NAPIER FESTIVAL OF ARTS

The 1963 Napier Festival of Arts was one of the most popular and successful events for many years. From a record entry of some 1,600 competitors, the adjudicator’s task was a most difficult one. Above we see the Napier Junior Choir under the baton of Miss Helen Dykes.

Members of the Marewa School of Dance pose for the camera.

THIRTEENTH HASTINGS HIGHLAND GAMES

The major Easter attraction for athletes, pipers, and dancers, the Hastings Highland Games, once again proved the major drawcard in the province. With a record entry of competitors from all parts of the country, the success of the Games was assured. Today, this is the biggest event of its kind in the country, and will grow bigger as the years pass.

OUR DAILY BREAD

To meet the increasing demand, one large Napier bakery has just installed a giant new oven of the latest design. The oven is pictured above, being prepared for placing in the bakehouse.

As soon as the oven was installed, we returned to see just how our loaves were made.

First the dough is mixed, then Frank Frost (above) passes the dough into a weighing and cutting machine, from there to a rolling machine, and then to an overhead prover, the whole operation being automatic.

Page 19

Leo Arkesteiyn removes the proven bread from the overhead prover, and places it on the conveyer belt of the new oven.

While in the bakehouse, we noticed Jack Wetherall and Bert Barnes making the curly pieces that adorn some of the more fancy loaves.

COLENSO HIGH SCHOOL GALA

One of the most successful galas held in Napier of recent years, was staged recently by Colenso High School, and all credit must go to the staff and students for carrying this project through to a successful conclusion. The new Gymnasium will be a well earned amenity, and a credit to the School’s will to work for a goal.

Leigh Matthews and Gay Nightingale, dressed as beatniks, did a roaring trade of selling sweets from trays.

HANCOX SWIMS TO NAPIER

WELCOME BACK

1880 MAKARETU SCHOOL 1962

A group of not so old pupils at Makaretu School Reunion are Jane Inglis, Diane Russell, Margaret Rosvale, Kathleen Danin and Penny White.

The Makaretu School Reunion was held in the grounds of the old school house at Makaretu. Old pupils came from as far as Whangarei and Wellington. Makaretu School was opened in 1880 and was attended by pupils of many nationalities – Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Danish and German At one time, the only English spoken was by the teacher. The school closed in 1962 and is now part of the Sherwood School. It is interesting to note that the number of pupils in 1962 was nearly the same as in 1880.

From left to right: Mr. Gilbert Severinsen, Mr T. Morrison, Miss Johansen and oldest living pupil, Willy Dazzler of Auckland. Mr Dazzler gave a short speech on old days at the school.

A Gala Day was run by the parents, pupils, and staff of the C.H.B. College, Waipukurau, to raise funds for the purchasing of a loud speaker system, musical instruments, sports gear, and equipment for new football grounds. The weather was ideal, and a very successful day was had with approximately £520 raised from the efforts from 21 stalls and amusements.

Sales of meat donated to the School made good progress with parents. This is always a good selling line.
