CONFERENCE ROLL CALL Most members of the Young Maori Leaders Conference 1959 are on this photograph. The numbers agree with the diagram on the next page. We should be glad to get information on the few people we have had to omit. We have shown the Round Table (A, B or 1939) to which each member belonged as well as any official designation at conference, in brackets. The people above 35 years of age were in the ‘1939’ Table which mostly comprised those who had attended the Young Maori Leaders' Conference in 1939. All members of A and B were under 35; to describe the full range of social work done by all members would be very difficult. 1. Taylor Samuel Mihaere (B), Maori Welfare Officer, Palmerston North. 3.
