Some very good athletes in this photo. Several would go on to compete at national level, (Also, who is in there who became a world champion in another sport ??)

Both Gilsenan were choppers did Les rep NZ ?
John Hunt went on to be Rugby player and coach of of considerable skill. He also coached table tennis players to NZ standard. He attended Olympic games and had an uncanny skill for coaching and exploiting the skills of kids with great hand eye co ordination

Was Peter Bell a boxer?

This is a great photo. Les and Danny G taught at the Primary School when I was Std 1. Pauline I didn't know as well as I knew her sister, Lois P. who used to bay-sit for our family when she was at High School.A good friend of our family. Is that Elaine White 2nd from the end , bottom row. She taught me and was the White Princess winning the Queen Carnival
