The organiser, Ellen Reid, gave this talk to the women at the reunion.
The women of 1960 organised their own reunion in 1995. Can anyone help me with more names? I believe woman are grouped in their school classes. If so, the first group were in Vm (as was I), which is why I have more names for this group than the others.

This is an unofficial photo of the group at the 2010 reunion. The photo was taken by Frank Campbell's partner Holly Belisle. They came all the way from Long Beach California for the reunion.
Ten years later, I've now scanned the 'official' photo, as I assume it no longer has any commercial value. Click/tap on the image for the fullsize photo.

Sadly, there was no reunion in 2020 because of an irrational fear of the COVID-19 pandemic, although the state of Western Australia has had no community transmission of the virus, as at November, for about six months. It would have been our 60th reunion. Most of us will be dead before the next, if there is one.
