Waikohu Walkathon
Waikohu College has a target of $12,000 to raise towards a gymnasium for the college. The first fund-raising effort got things off to a good start when over $500 was raised from a sponsored walkathon in which just about everyone from the college took part
Organiser of the walkathon, Mr J. Topp, and Ben pass the point of no return.
Turning point was the old Puha school for the return journey back to the college.
Mrs R. Hustler, Mrs S. Kersey and Miss D. Hazell strode out with the rest of them
