A Passion Play was presented by girls of St Joseph's College, Green-meadows, at the Easter festival arranged by the Federated Catholic Maori Clubs at Hastings last Easter. Above are some of the cast. With more than 1,000 people attending, and a great variety of religious, cultural and sports activities, this gathering, presided over by Mr Hikaia Amohia of Taumarunui, was a great success.

Notable overseas visitor with a special interest in Maori dancing was Miss Katherine Dunham seen here taking part in an action song performed by students of Auckland University College. Her tour this season revealed to many for the first time the great dancing traditions of South America and Africa. She took with her from New Zealand Mr and Mrs Kahu Karaitiana of Kaiapoi. He will sing and his wife will be a wardrobe mistress. (N.Z. Herald Photograph.)
