A Decade of Education Completed

The completion of the first 10 years in the life of Waimea College was marked with three days of celebrations at the college last month. The celebrations commenced with a commemorative assembly attended by the Director-General of Education, Dr K. J. Sheen, and former pupils of the college. Matches between past and present pupils were played, and the social gatherings included a morning tea, a cocktail party and a ball.

Recalling the past in the photographs in the library were Sheng Yee (1962-66) and Bill Rait (1961-65).

Watched by the Principal, Dr F. E. Gallas, Colleen Broadley (1961-64) signs the register.
