A Future Plan

A Citizenship Course, sponsored by the Gisborne Rotary Club, was held during the May holidays for 31 students from country areas. The intensive one week live-in course enabled the boys to study at first hand the many types of occupations available to them in the city, as well as hear talks and lectures by experts on many of the "taken for granted" aspects of city living.

A civic welcome was accorded the boys by Mayor Harry Barker who also spoke on local government.
