Technical School Display Of Work

The display of work exhibited annually at the Nelson Technical School improves each year. This year's display was excellent. The hand embroidery and tapestry, cane and wood work, the dress-making and tailoring and floral displays were a credit to the instructors and pupils alike.

The art display is another which has grown-tremendously

An example of what can be achieved in decorative icing - a doll iced and decorated by Mrs M. Atker.

One of the floral displays, "Spanish Fiesta" (black and white does not do it justice).

Charm school in progress during typing practice: Diana Hutchings working on Judy Austin.

Miss Catherine O'Sullivan (tailoring instructor) and Misb Alice Benima (dressmaking instructor) discuss some of the wonderful tailored costumes.

Mrs Irene Thomas with a gorgeous wedding bouquet of orchids she made.

In the cookery class we found Barbara Nixey, Christine Ward, Carol Hoddy and Janet Ferguson with tables laden with goodies.
