Intermediate School Gala
Feature attraction at the annual gala of the Nelson Intermediate School was the trolley derby, watched by a big crowd. Only mishap of the day was when Margaret Heywood collided with a car at the intersection of Tipahi and Tukuka Streets and when Sue Milliken also came a cropper in the same race.
