Good Trade Examination Results The trade examination results of boys trained under the schemes are generally better than the national average for all apprentices. Some outstanding examination results have been obtained, not only by individual trainees but also by whole groups. Last year all the boys in a class of 21 first-year carpentry trainees at Gracefield passed both papers of the First Qualifying Examination. Fourteen of the boys obtained marks ranging from 70% to 94% in one examination paper, and 11 trainees had marks between 70% and 83% in the other paper. In the Second Qualifying Examination in carpentry, 19 trainees sat Paper A, and 18 passed. At Auckland, a former electrical trainee, Eric Beazley from Northland, won a gold medal for gaining the highest marks (96 per cent) as the top electrical apprentice in New Zealand. The previous year, another former Auckland trainee, Peter Papanui, a carpenter, won the Governor-General's Gold Cup as the best apprentice in all trades at the Auckland Technical Institute. At Christchurch, two boys from the painting and paper-hanging course, Pari Hunt from Ahititi, and John Ngaire from Putaruru, won the Taubman's Travel Award.
