Early Auckland
NEW series of talks of specia) interest to Auckland listeners, and also to former Auckland residents, will begin from 1YA on January 19, when Miss Cecil Hull will broadcast on "Scenes and Personalities of Early Auckland." Miss Hull was for twenty years on the staff of the Auckland Girls’ Grammar School, where she was editor of the _ school magazine. In 1928 she edited an anthology of verse from the magazine-one of the few occasions on which this has been done from a school publication in New Zealand. Miss Hull is a granddaughter of the late Dr. T. M. Philson, the well-known army surgeon of the Maori Wars and of early Auckland, whose memory has been perpetuated by a memorial in the Auckland Hospital. Her recollections go back to the ’nineties, the days of horse-trams, when an outing was a journey, and the trip from Epsom to the city was something worth preparing for. She has many amusing memories of her own from those "early" days, and from her grandfather she has_ collected anecdotes and interesting recollections of a still earlier period.
