Mollison Cup

1916 Photograph of a picnic at Redcliff[e, including Miss Essie Mollison [back left] and revealing her total involvement in Grammar activities. It appears that she left with significant credibility as a staff member and person and in good favour with the Headmistress and the Trustees. She submitted her resignation with regret as her “relations with the Grammar School have always been most pleasant”. With these sentiments in mind and her role as Athletics co-ordinator, it is likely that she would have been keen to donate a trophy for Interform Athletics to a school where she had happy memories and made a significant contribution.

1916 staff with Miss Mackay. Note the academic gowns worn by staff who had graduated from university.
