Fit as Fiddles
Young people from Gisborne and the East Coast showed they were extra fit when they took part in the inter-school gymnastic contest. The contest was held in the Boys' High gymnasium with the locals having the edge on the Coast people.
Outstanding individual competitor was Bernadine Craft of Tikitiki who gained the highest points. She is seen here in a swan pose on the beam.
