Last Round-Up
HE last session of Centennial Roundabout marked a retrospective pause in the swift swaying rhythm of Canterbury life. From its tiny crest it looked back to the Celebrations themselves as these in turn mirrored the great thoughts and acts of the past. So varied were the many aspects of the celebrations that the concluding 3YA feature must have presented a difficult editorial problem. Whether this was adequately met I am not sure, but it certainly was a "roundabout" and it was enjoyable, The
first part dealing with the toast to Lord Lyttelton and ending with .a few words from the daughter of John Robert Godley was deeply moving. After that came the kaleidoscope of events, including the many sporting fixtures which jostled sides with Maori singing, bagpipes and various solemn ecclesiastical commemorations. I wonder, though, did the organiser have any doubts about including "Now is the Hour." It would be quite wrong to dismiss sentiment on such occasions, yet there are some things nothing can bury and grow lilieston, and that tune, sung in dragging tremolo, was one, On the whole, however, the last Centennial Roundabout made the best of difficult
material.
