Special Prize Bertha Te Ua Ua received a special prize at Wellington's Trade Trainee Graduation ceremony on 16 November, 1967, from Mrs Roberts, wife of the Assistant District Officer. She was top student in the Department of Maori Affairs' scheme which each year trains a small number of Maori girls from rural areas as shorthand typists. After only a year's tuition Bertha sat both the Junior and Senior Government shorthand examinations, the first trainee to sit both at once. Bertha, whose ambition is to be a private secretary, was a pupil at Opotiki College, where she sat and passed University Entrance.
