NAPIER YOUTH CLUB
The Napier Youth Club is now a going concern, started not very long ago by the combined efforts of four people – Mr. and Mrs. Golding of the James Banquet Lounge, Mr. Allen Sheppard, club patron, and Steve Draper, the club’s present president, who all played a part in the formation and the continuing success of the club.
We paid a visit to the club and were very impressed, and would urge parents to go along and take a look as well.
In the following pages are pictures taken during our visit.
Where the Club started – “The James”.
The dance floor – Centennial Hall.

HAWKE’S BAY FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND CRAFTS
Once again the people of Taradale have combined in a wonderful effort and produced their second Hawke’s Bay Festival of Arts, following a different pattern this year with emphasis on the live theatre.
The week opened with a pantomime and was followed by a series of short plays produced by various groups.
Then a concert of international flavour presenting the folk lore of various countries, some of which are featured in these pages. At other halls exhibitions and demonstrations were held: from model engineering to bee keeping, stamp collecting to modelling in clay.
Girls of the Hastings Girls High School perform the dance of the old men.
Barry Ferguson demonstrates the art of Japanese flower arrangement.
Joan Hagenson and Valerie Frizzell dance the Mexican Hat Dance.

A new kind of sport: model car racing, an exciting form of racing in which model cars can be raced under similar conditions as the real thing, tracks can be built to any shape at reasonable cost, cars can be built, or bought, and the skill of the operator controlling his car makes this game very exciting, especially when competing against other cars.

In addition to a number of static dispalys a tiger moth and tractor were towed onto the park for the small fry who gave it their undivided attention.
The week ended with a children’s day at the park with the entertainment spelt with a capital “E” sponsored by the Taradale Rotary Club.
Things were kept moving at a lively pace throughout the day by club members.

OLDE TYME THEATRE
A very successful season of Old Tyme Theatre was staged recently by the Napier Repertory Players in which the audience was encouraged to show their appreciation in a very definite manner. Most of the artists being heavily bombarded with everything from pies to raw eggs, and a good time was had by all.
The Barber‘s Shop Quartette sings a quintette of numbers
Miss Vicky Barton quietly ‘murders’ Shakespeare.
Dame Patti Rouse sings that heart-rending melody “A Bird in a Gilded Cage”.

Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber in all its soul-searing and heart-rending drama.
Sweeney Todd played by Brian Howlett, prepares to do the dirty on our hero Mark Ingestrie, played by Allen Madden.
Another victim disposed of, as Jean Parmine (played by Gwyn Ace) goes down the chute.
Todd suspects his apprentice and decides to commit him to a fate worse than death – namely, Jonas Fogg’s Nuttery. Peter Tutt the apprentice, and Edwin Slimm as Jonas Fogg.
Page 21
Mrs. Lovett, who makes the most de-licious pies from the prime meat supplied by Sweeney Todd, introduces a new help to her cellar cookery.
Todd is unmasked at last, and a good time was had by all. Approximately a hundredweight of debris was removed from the stage after each performance – the audience had no further use for it.

PAST AND PRESENT
Yesterdays and todays shots shows – (1) Shakespeare Road, looking from where Shakespeare House is today. The brick building on the left, which was the Empire Hotel, is now the Cabana Hotel. On the corner stands the A.M.P. buildings. The wooden building on the right of the trams was the old G.P.O. (tower on top), and to the right again is the Government Buildings in brick, present Government Buildings in almost the same position today.

REPRESENTATIVE FOOTBALL
Hawke’s Bay came out convincing winners in the first representative match of the season at McLean Park. The game was watched by one of the largest crowds seen at a rep. match for many a long year (about 5000). Up to half time it was anybody’s game, with the inside backs kicking for the line far too much for the crowd’s liking.
The second half saw a rejuvenated H.B. side with the ball spinning along the back line to the three-quarters, which made for a very exciting forty-five minutes, with 10 points being scored in the last five minutes.
Gary Watts brings down his opposite number but the Wairarapa player has got the ball away successfully.
G. Watts kicks the ball through to his winger through the hands of a Wairarapa defender.
Roger Spencer in process of taking a high pass from Bill Davis (on the ground) who has cleared at the last possible moment. This was a feature of Bill Davis’s play on the day.

STARLIGHT REVUE
Once again Hawke’s Bay has been privileged to see another fabulous Harry Wren show.
Maintaining a fast pace throughout and never appearing to fag, the revue was further example of Harry Wrens ability to bring individual topline talent from all parts of the world and mould it into a first class show.
He is also one of the few people who can fill the Napier Municipal Theatre three nights in a row.
The five Otharis is an extremely fast and exciting Flying Trampoline act. Two members perform with eyes blindfolded and black hoods over their heads. This really had the audience on its toes.
Chas and Nola Parker and the glamour birds.

ROVING CAMERA
Eleven people were taken to Hastings Memorial Hospital for attention, following this spectacular three-car pileup in Omahu Road near the Twyford turnoff recently. The two vehicles had to be winched apart.
First lambs of the season appeared on Queen’s Birthday Weekend, when born on Mr. F. Pomeroy’s property, Middle Road, Havelock North. Feeding the twin lambs is nine-year-old Nigel Tod. The ewe died following the birth, so the twins are being bottle fed.

BARN DANCE
The Napier Youth Club staged its first dance in the Centennial Hall on Friday, June 1st. The dance took the form of a barn dance with a difference – members spending a lot of time and thought in decorating the hall. To give atmosphere, bales of hay were stacked around the hall and some strewn on the floor.
Margaret Paipa, Ethel Tayor, Ursula Ashby, and Herbit Pawhau, pause a moment from helping in the kitchen.

SOCCER TRAINING
Mr. Graham instructing players.
During the recent school holidays a soccer coaching school was held in both Napier and Hastings. Conducted by Mr. George Graham, physical education instructor at Colenso High School, who is also considered to be one of New Zealand’s best soccer coaches.
Basic skills are practised – in this case dribbling and ball control.

TWO ARTISTS LOOK AT LIFE
An exhibition of the works of two of Hawke’s Bay’s most promising artists, held in Hastings recently, caused quite a stir if nothing else.
The work of Bryan Dew is something quite different for the artist in oils – he has held us out at arms length and with a satirical twist shown us what we really are. The four pictures on this page are all by Bryan Dew.

PARTY PICTURES
A party with a nautical flavour. The 21st birthday party of Brian Marshall, Waipukurau, started out as a shipwreck – how it finished we don’t know, as Brian hasn’t told us; but we think it must have been quite a party!
