One of Gisborne's top canoeing guns, Tony Geard, engages a turbulent section of the rapids over the championship course at Piripaua, near Lake Waikaremoana. An exciting sport, canoeing also makes for spectacular viewing. More pictures of the Dominion Slalom Championships on Page 31.

Back Cover. This year's presentation of "Beckett" by the Boys and Girls High School players is as much notable for its colourful costuming as for its dramatic content. Four of the cast are, from left, Peter McErlich as Henry II, Ken Adlam as Beckett, and Bernie Macdonald and Kim Solvander as two of the guards.
