Special Presentation

To mark the achievement of taking more than 1,000 boys into the schemes, a set of books and a taiaha were presented to Anania Wikaira, a carpentry trainee, who came from Auckland especially for the occasion.

Anania, whose elder brother was in the 1963 electrical wiring course, comes from Whirinaki, which is on the Kaikohe-Opononi road, about 15 miles from Rawene. Aged 17, he was a prefect at school last year and is a very keen footballer. Our congratulations to Anania on being the 1,000th trade trainee.
