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.
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 this in a a later post.

  1. We had a mixed class in German under Mr. Goosens, then with Eunice 'Sour-face' Hanger. The rest of our classes were segregated, just like the Valley School. Ross
