FOUR GOLD MEDALS
The Duke of Edinburgh award scheme was a challenge to young people to find out what they could do in a wide variety of subjects, Brigadier J. R. Page, general secretary of the scheme for New Zealand, said at Christ's College on Saturday. Brigadier Page was presenting four gold and five silver awards to boys of the college. The gold awards were first earned by boys of the school. “If you don’t try, you’ll never find out what you can do,” he said. “Reaching a goal
of any kind gives a feeling of great satisfaction and confidence. “This award is a challenge to youth because if you get a sense of achievement you are able to tackle other problems with more confidence. It produces good citizenship, and I commend the scheme to you.” Those awarded gold medals were D. McLernon, M. Steven, A. Stewart and D. Rawson. Silver medals were awarded to T. Barnes-Graham, Y. Flint, S. Cowles, H. Mclntyre, and S. C. Nicholls.
