Brisbane State High School 1951- 1952

         BRISBANE STATE HIGH SCHOOL  1951-1953
As a student in  ART  and GEOMETRICAL DRAWING, I completed the two years to"Junior University" examination. The following pieces were my assignments of that period:

At Brisbane State High School in 1951/2, boys and girls were segregated except in some classes, including Art and Geometrical Drawing. It was in these classes that I became aware of a tall blonde girl named Joy Hedges. I saw nothing of her artwork and had no contact beyond the classes, greeting her only once outside class during my entire 2 years there. She invited me and a few other boys and girls from the class to her 16th birthday party in our second year. None of us boys responded to her invitation, such was our low interest in the girls and our despicable manners.  I cannot say I was attracted to her then but I was to meet her again, later in life, with a different attitude. More on that in a later post.
