EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print titled "This wasn't the only open air operation during the Rag Week parade in Newcastle" we are transported back to the vibrant and humorous atmosphere of 1960s education. The image captures a large group of students, dressed in whimsical fancy dress costumes, participating in a charity event known as Rag Week. On October 26th, 1963, these enthusiastic students took to the streets of Newcastle with their playful antics. Amongst them is a bed adorned with medical equipment, nurses and doctors attending to an impatient patient. However, what sets this scene apart is the presence of a trombonist strategically placed nearby. It seems that these thoughtful students had arranged for live music to drown out any cries or complaints from their pretend patient. The photograph encapsulates the spirit of fun and camaraderie that characterized Rag Week events during this era. Students came together not only to raise money for charitable causes but also to inject humor into their fundraising efforts. This particular scene showcases both creativity and wit as they combined elements of healthcare with musical entertainment. Looking at this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by NCJ transports us back in time, reminding us of an era where laughter was abundant and community spirit thrived amongst young minds eager to make a difference through lightheartedness and philanthropy.
