Description: There are several subject groups in this album. 1. Family childhood and youth. The earliest family photograph dates from the 1870s and is a portrait of John Pascoe's paternal grandmother as a young woman. The photographs become prolific from about 1918 to 1930. 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. These consist of views of some of the buildings including the interior of the chapel. Many are groups of college sports teams and sudents dressed in striped blazers, the school orchestra, the school cadets, school friends and some teachers. Some of the photographs show study interiors and boys at work in them. 3. Photographs of John and Paul Pascoe as young men in their first suits; Paul Pascoe at architectural school; John and Dorothy Pascoe's wedding in 1940 and of their first house. Related to this group, though scattered throughout the album are photographs of John's father's law offices when John worked there, of Paul Pascoe in England in the mid 1930s, and later of his wife and children at the time that his second son was a baby. 4. John Pascoe as a harrier with the christchurch Harrier Club in the late 1920s. There are photographs of individual runners, group photographs of harrier teams, and many more of races about to start or underway. 5.
