Description

These unpublished images were taken for a story that ran in The Manawatū Standard on 19th November 1973.

In the Sanson Centenary Procession there was a float of women representing various businesses, clubs and organisations of Sanson, 1873-1973. Examples included: Miss Agriculture, Miss Te Kawau Football, Miss Golden Galleon and Miss Staite's TV. The reigning 'Miss', seated on a flower strewn chair with an umbrella, appears to be Miss Foster's Food.

Sanson's Centenary Procession took place on Saturday 17th November. More than thirty floats and other vehicles participated, travelling from Sanson Domain to the school. Many people, especially children, wore fancy dress. A dinner was well attended on the Saturday evening, and on Sunday a Centenary service was held at the Sanson Hall.
