Our mission Deliver a vibrant leadership and first aid programme, focused on development and successes of young people which enhances health and wellbeing in our community. The Youth programme is for all young people from 6 to 18 years. Among the skills our penguins and cadets develop, there are fantastic opportunities to meet new people, experience new things and of course, have fun! We encourage leadership and development by promoting community service, learning life skills and providing real leadership opportunities and training. During time with St John we want young people to develop your skills in caring for people and an ability to deal with emergency situations. We would like to develop a sense of responsibility and to belong to an organisation that plays an important role in New Zealand.

You should sew your first badge on at 1, your second at 2, and so Programme on until you achieve your Super Penguin badge. It usually takes two years to complete all 9 badges. A penguin who succeeds in completing all the badges becomes a “super penguin” and is awarded a certificate and sew-on badge to mark his/her achievement. At the age of eight, penguins can move up to a St John Youth division and begin working towards the Grand Prior’s Award. They cannot join a cadet group before their eighth birthday, and cannot remain in a penguin group when they reach the age of nine. 4 Penguin example: Penguin badges are placed on the brassard (starting in the bottom right) in the order they are received.

Various pop-related styles in the 50s and early 60s include: • Doo-Wop (1950s and early ‘60s; combined Pop, Gospel and soft R & B elements) • Teen Idol “Crooners” (late ‘50s/early ‘60s; Dick Clark early rock era; soft R & B) • Surf Music (late ‘50s/early ‘60s) • Brill Building/Aldon Music (‘60s pop; extension of “Tin Pan Alley” tradition) • Early Motown (early 1960s; “Soul-pop” music) I. THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD IN 50s ROCK During the years 1957 to 1961, Rock & Roll lost the impact of at least ten of its most prominent trendsetters. • March 1956: While on his way to perform for The Perry Como Show in New York City, Carl Perkins was involved in a car crash in which he suffered a fractured shoulder and skull. Perkins lost his chance for major fame, and was soon overshadowed by the rise of Elvis Presley. • October 1957: Little Richard renounced Rock and Roll for the ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. • November 1957: Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old third cousin (while “forgetting” to divorce his first wife.) The scandal that followed destroyed his career. • March 1958: Elvis Presley was drafted into the army, serving in Germany until 1960. • February 1959: a small-plane crash near Fargo, North Dakota killed Buddy Holly, J.P.

  • Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)”—The Penguins (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)”—The Penguins (1954) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell The Penguins Original 45 label It is, perhaps, the quintessential doo-wop song. Though it was not the first song in the genre, nor its first “hit,” “Earth Angel (Will You Be Mine)” by the Penguins (DooTone 348; 1954), certainly defines the musical style as much as anything before or since. Doo-wop has been defined as: “a subcategory of vocal group harmony that includes the following musical qualities: group harmony, a wide range of vocal parts, nonsense syllables, a simple beat, light instrumentation, and simple music and lyrics.” Like most codified musical styles, “doo-wop” has its origins in a variety of other genres. Certainly it has its origins in rhythm and blues and black gospel. Traces of doo-wop can also be heard in the music of the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers, whose heydays were during the Big Band era of the 1930s and ‘40s. And, of course, there’s a “scat” element to doo-wop as well, indicating a strong jazz influence. Doo-wop was born in city ghettos among black youths, who practiced their vocal art in gymnasiums and on street corners, communally using their voices to take the place of musical instruments they either couldn’t afford or didn’t know how to play. The emphasis on vocal dynamics has remained doo-wop’s one consistent factor. The era of doo-wop is usually considered to be from 1953 to 1963 and was filled with records recorded by groups often with one-word names like the Orioles, the Miracles, the Chordettes as well was dozens of others usually named after musical terms, birds or automobiles (the Monotones, the Swallows and the Fleetwoods, et.al.).
