1934-1984 REUNTON Fifty years ago twenty-one Sixth Form students completed their studies at Cirls'Crammar - in May this year eighteen of "The Class oI '34" went "Back to School" for a reunion. Many had not seen each other in the intervening years, but soon delighted greetings were being exchanged, and the memories came f looding back. A special guest at the reunion was their former Classical Languages Teacher, Miss Miriam Jones. Miss Thalia Kennedy who retired in 1981 after 16 years as Headmistress of lpswich Girls' Crammar School, remembered that students of the School were always encouraged to achieve to the maximum of their potential. Dr. Eileen Harrison (Reimers) was one of only two women among the twenty-one medical students who graduated f rom Queensland University in 1940. She then took up residency at the Brisbane Ceneral Hospital for the princely sum of f5.15.0 a fortnight. As well as raising three sons, Dr. Harrison became a Specialist in Radiotherapy. The Reunion was organised by Mrs. Gladys Hamilton of Aspley, who said she remembered laughing when, as a Sixth Former, someone suggested "We'll meet again in f ifty years !"
