Objects of Substance - Giddy and Guileless Grammar Girls Acr

1965 BGGS July Magazine by Helen Barker p62 .

Artist Helen Barker may be seeking in this sketch to give us an insight into how the first year student feels about her status and uniform, everything too big and a bit overwhelming, even school life, that she has yet to grow into. The mirror she is holding might be her way of looking into her future as the big Grammar girl or aspiring to be like her big Grammar sister.
