Who was Head Girl in 1967? The previous magazine announced Penny Anson, but I am told that this was later changed. Please can one of the later Girls confirm who was chosen? Was it Sally Davies, as suggested by Elizabeth Ogden?

Naomi Dyson Rooke
Naomi was with us at Jennifer's cottage
for the reunion on 12 October 2008. We
are saddened by the news from Eileen
Wright that Naomi died suddenly on 30
October. She clearly enjoyed her
afternoon with us, meeting old friends, in spite of being in pain and immobile, and it is comforting for us to know that we gave her some pleasure towards the end of life. The funeral was Tue 18 November, and SMOGS made a donation to "Ceylon Planters' Benevolent Fund".
