Giddy and guileless Grammar Girls Cartoons

1964 Artist Jill Lang, December BGGS Magazine p18

Dressed in uniform, both day school and sporting, the depiction of music, dancing, sewing, indoor sport, and spilled coffee give us an inside view of boarding life, with the day girl peeking through the window, perhaps wondering what was happening on this mysterious, ‘other side’ of school life. This treasure trove of cartoon sketches from students across the history of the School provides us with insights into student life in all its dynamics. These clever sketches enrich our history and transport us into the living moments and memories of the School across the years.
