Girl, blonde hair, not wearing hat, top row 4th l-r is Margaret Kelly Barbaras sister.

Thanks Carole, I can't remember which Kelly was in my class. She was a fast runner. I still don't run fast.

Hello Pauline, I am not sure how old you may be, but Barbara Kelly was friendly with my sister at primary school. They were in the same grade, my sister has just turned 61, so I am guessing that Barbara is a similar age.

Evening Kevin, Barbara Kelly commenced YHS same year as me 1963. I turned 61 last September. I went to Yallourn North primary. I still have all my school reports, in excellent condition. I'm looking throughout my house, for a book of mine named "Innaminka", which Dolphin's book store gave to me in 1964. Mr. Dolphins name is stuck inside the book.

The general opinion is that the lady in the middle is Pat Eades. She had a daughter Rosemary and another daughter whose name escapes us at the moment. The two ladies that worked in Miss Rose's Chemist were Miss Burrows and Rae Nicholson.

In the second row from the front and second from the left is me, Bernadette McLaughlin.

Aah so Bernie, we went to the same Brownie camp together all those years ago. It was great to catch up with you at the Reunion in March. Next March 2018 is a bigger affair, more casual and overnight accommodation available - hope to see you there. Julie (Francis)

Next to my sister (step-sister) Jane - I was in Melbourne at boarding school by then. I think Jane should have been 1st year High School by then.

I remember the mosquitoes bit those of us sleeping outside on the verandah rather badly - came back home looking as if I'd had chicken pox! Otherwise, it was great fun, and I believe Guide House still exists.

To the left of Marlene Niebor, is Susanne Berg :} Was Rosemary's surname 'O'Connor'?

1932 - AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE YALLOURN GIRL GUIDES
The following newspaper article describes the opening of the Yallourn Girl Guide Hut in December 1932. It was an important occasion for the girls of the town and a further indication of the efforts made by adults to foster activities for the children of Yallourn to enjoy.
