1961 - Helen Hender in her new dress which was made from the leftovers of Sandra Ryan's deb dress (made by Helen's mum, Marjory). "It was really stiff material and I remember wearing it to Sunday School and this boy sat down next to me and said “move that fat dress over” and pushed it along the chair. Marjory also made a bride doll outfit out of the leftovers from Lorraine's deb dress and I still have the said bride doll but she is looking a bit like "Mrs Haversham" as the dress material is now starting to deteriorate - will it is nearly 52 years old!!"....Helen

Bill is 2nd from right with the trombone - he was a very talented musician. The fact that he played in the band helped him to get a job with the SEC when so many were unemployed. He said that all the young men used to hang around at the gates every day waiting for someone to come out and give them a job. He was the bread winner and desparate for work...Ann Dinsdale

Robert (Bob) and William (Bill) Dinsdale - approx 1928 - in front of 38 Latrobe Ave
