NAPIER SHOPPING WEEK

A huge crowd jammed Emerson Street for the official opening of shopping week, the largest since the festival was revived six years ago. The weather was not up to Hawke’s Bays’ usual standard, but this in no way dampened the enthusiasm of the crowd who gave Miss Golden Jubilee a rousing reception when she declared the festival open.

Reaching for one of the balloons which seemed very reluctant to oblige.

BLOSSOM FESTIVAL

There are many spectacular attractions in New Zealand that draw enormous crowds each year, but few, if any, that have more appeal than the Hastings Festival of the Blossoms. The climax to the week of celebration, Saturday, September 8th, dawned fine and clear, spring was truly knocking at the door. As the day progressed so did the weather live up to its Hawke’s Bay reputation and the seal was set on a truly wonderful day. By 11 a.m., some 40,000 people had converged on to the procession route and another Blossom Festival Procession was on.

TANGOIO SCHOOL DIAMOND JUBILEE

Mr. W. W. Smith, Chairman of the Hawke’s Bay Education Board, accompanied by Sir Eruera Titikatene [Tirikatene], stoops to pick up the wero after being challenged by William Taurima, flourishing a taiaha. Mr. Smith and Sir Eruera were accorded the traditional Maori welcome when they attended the Tangoio School’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Children of the School perform traditional song and dance of the Maori. The costumes the children are wearing are genuine Maori and were made by pupils and women of the settlement.

Page 41

A lot of people were surprised to learn that the movements of a Maori warrior flourishing a taiaha were all part of an exact science taught to the Maori warrior from an early age even to the protruding tongue and jeering noises designed to taunt the enemy into making a mistake.

Sir Eruera demonstrates the art and science of the taiaha.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the cutting of the Jubilee cake by two first day pupils, Mrs. H. Albert and Mrs. H. N. Sullivan, assisted by two present day pupiis Dona Taylor (Head Girl) and Rosina Spooner.
