During the 1920s many photographs are of Pascoe and his friends as boys, often with family members, taken during outdoor activities such as staying at baches at Rakaia huts, at picnics, swimming, boating, tramping, hunting and horse riding. Several show John Pascoe with a banjo, and there is a group photograph of Bloys Banjo Band taken about 1930. 2. The next group relate to Christs College, Christchurch.

There are photographs of individual runners, group photographs of harrier teams, and many more of races about to start or underway. 5.
