    1. I am wondering if anyone can recall Max Homewood and I think George Macrides participating in an elephant race down the main street. I think it coincided with a Mardi Gras and whilst the circus was in town.

  2. I spoke to Alan Taylor today, he remembers the occasion because he also rode one of the elephants.

  3. New info to hand: Patricia Henfry was one of our-year's teachers for part of 1966 and Eunice Mitusses for the other half of the year. Fran Rijavic was one of our Home Ec teachers.
