THE KINGS OF TAKAPAU
What a wonderful effort it was for the people of Takapau to raise 2,500 pounds in a King Carnival for School Funds. The target for this Carnival was 500 pounds.
Four School Bus driver’s were selected. King Arthur (Snee); King Wally (Stevens); King Roy (Hames); King Bill (Carman). Committees were set up and money was raised, with dances, cake stalls, barbecues, stock drives. Special lunches at school, raffles, male deb. Ball, etc.
After four weeks this was finalised with a Gala Day. Four floats, respectively carrying each King and Queen paraded through the crowded streets and to the school grounds. Stalls, a Hangi, and generally a day of fun for all, was brought to a climax when King Arthur was announced the winning King.
A dance to celebrate this grand effort was held in the evening.
King Bill Carman‘s school bus children turn out in full, all dressed in gold.

ADVENTURE IN THE HIGH COUNTRY
On the track. Members of the Hastings Boys’ High School Crusader Union with fully laden packs, make their way in towards the approach to Black Birch Range from Puketitiri, and thence to Makahu hut during their four day camp.
The Crusader Movement has been organising camps for secondary school boys and girls for the past 30 years, and every care is taken to ensure a safe and enjoyable holiday. The Crusader Movement is an interdominational society working in the secondary schools of New Zealand. More than 190 Crusader Unions meet each week in our schools and attendance is voluntary. Throughout the Christian era the Church has found in the years of adolescence the most propious time for intelligent enlistment of the new generation in the cause of Christ. But very many young people in their teen-age years find that amidst the daily duties and demands of school life, the foundations of character are put to the test and faith either becomes a personal conviction or is cast aside.
In this setting is a matter of Christian strategy to band together in voluntary groups within their schools, girls and boys who desire to know Christ and His power in their lives. Thus Crusader Unions meet weekly for half an hour to promote Christian fellowship and witness.
Each Crusader Union functions with the consent of the school principal. Leadership is entrusted only to approved Christian men and women, who understand youth and its problems. Many are members of school staffs. Basic non-denominational Biblical teaching is given and the need for active connection with some branch of the Church is upheld.
The direction and supervision of the Crusader Movement is in the hands of a staff of Travelling Secretaries. This summer the Crusader Movement has organised nine exciting camps throughout the Dominion.
Checking up on the state of his heels after a few hours march in to Makahu is David Winters of the Hastings group.

Focal point for all eyes is the steaming pot on the fire as the Crusaders prepare lunch at a small stream at the foot of the Black Birch Range. Each boy carried packs with from 30-50 pounds of provisions.
