Actions can speak louder than words – and in days gone by a shy girl could communicate her feelings with a handy hanky! The following appeared in our 14th April 1923 issue: LANGUAGE OF THE HANDKERCHIEF: ⚫Do you wish to convey to him the message “I don’t care”? Just twirl your handkerchief in both hands. But remember if you drop it, it means, “I want to be friends.”

⚫Be careful not to draw the handkerchief across your cheek when the wrong man is near, for this means “I love you”. Pulling it through your hands is equivalent to saying, “I hate you.”

⚫Should you wish to answer the unspoken question in his eyes, rest the handkerchief on your right cheek if you wish to say “Yes”, and if it is to be “No” press the handkerchief against your left cheek.

⚫If you twirl the handkerchief in your left hand you are telling him to go away; and twirled in your right hand it means “I love another.”

⚫If you wish to speak to him, just grasp the folded handkerchief in your hand, but if you put it in your pocket it shows you have nothing more to say.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS Due to the time that we were not able to fundraise for the Senior Ball, we are now working really hard to find fundraising opportunities and put out a call to our community to see how you could help us. FOOD MART (GROCERIES) The senior ball is one of the highlights of our MONDAY TO FRIDAY school year where our senior students get the chance to dress up, eat great food, 7:30am to 7.30pm and spend an enjoyable evening in the company of our teachers and peers. The SATURDAY 8am to 7.30pm 2020 ball committee want to make this year's Ball the best ever, especially given SUNDAY 8:30am to 7pm the challenging circumstances we have all found ourselves in.

EMAIL: [email protected] After an initial cancellation due to 1919a State Highway1, Kaiwaka 0542 COVID lockdown, the 2020 Wellington Trip was lucky to be rescheduled for the 1st week of Term 3. This is the second year Ms Baker has taken a group of Year 12 students for four nights to visit Parliament, The Reserve Bank and the Treasury office. 15 students were perfect ambassadors for Otamatea, engaging in the tours and seminars with interest, and using their free time to learn how to navigate our country's capital city. The sun was out every day and students made the most of their time as tourists by visiting other attractions such as Te Papa, old war bunkers up Mt Victoria and Weta workshop. The highlight for the group was an excellent tour of the Supreme Court, which was a new scheduled addition to the trip this year. Students also had plenty of time to relax in the afternoons and evenings with activities such as ice skating, bowling, lazer maze, the Fear Factory and of course shopping. A big thank you to Helen McKenzie and Nazila Khan for their support during the trip. ~ Robyn Baker

www.kaiwaka.co.nz Kaiwaka Bugle - 4 August 2020 Page 19 A NEW “DEVELOPMENT” WELLSFORD-MANGAWHAI CAMERA CLUB For many years the “small but friendly” Wellsford Camera Club has met at various locations in Wellsford. However, with local interest dropping off the decision was made to “expand” and transfer to Mangawhai and relaunch the club in a new photographic setting. The aim of the club is to increase members’ enjoyment of photography by developing skills and providing opportunity to show and share their work. (As well as discuss anything photographic and life in general). Each month there is a competition with a set subject. Bulk Cartage Members enter online, the images are judged; and feedback helps members improve their photographic skills. This friendly club is open to all with an interest in photography – from beginners to “old hands”; learning from and encouraging each other. A great place to ask questions and learn how to do stuff. “We firmly believe everyone can take great photos, no matter what skill or equipment level; and we will help you do this.” The next meeting of the newly constituted “Wellsford-Mangawhai Camera Club” is on Thursday 27 August, 7.30pm, at one of the local member’s lounge, 34 Jack Boyd Drive Mangawhai (with the yellow mailbox). If you are interested in photography, would like to improve your picture taking, have questions about technique or gear, you are encouraged to come along. The plan is to continue meeting on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7.30pm from February to November. Check out the club website: www.wfdphoto.org.nz For more information please contact Bazz Clark 431 4547 or Wayne Thornton 027 3294994 Photos by Wayne Thornton-top right, and Bazz Clark - right.
