This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 08 March 1961 "It is just fifty years ago this month since the late Mr. J.A. Nash, then Mayor of Palmerston North and himself very interested in everything connected with music, called a meeting in the Mayor's room of the Council Chambers of those interested in the formation of a professional musicians' society. Eleven persons attended the meeting, and the Manawatu Society of Professional Musicians was formed with Mr. C.W. Naylor, the organist of All Saints' Church, and a music teacher, as the first president.... Miss Evelyn M. Rawlins has been the president since 1955 and is the present holder of that office."
