Concert at Hato Paora Present pupils and staff of St Paul's College, Parorangi, Feilding, were delighted to welcome to the College a band formed by several old boys, to take part in a concert organised to raise funds for two new classrooms recently built. The leader of the band, ‘The Guardians’, is John Ropata, who works in the Maori Programme section of the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation. The boys perform regularly at ‘Maximes’, a Wellington Restaurant, and their pleasant music is much appreciated. They are, from left, Joe Patea, John Ropata, Huck Ropiha, Stan White and Ron Williams. Our second photograph shows the combined school, who concluded the concert with a bracket of songs, after the senior and junior action song groups had entertained. Those who attended were delighted with the variety and quality of the performance.
