It is most notable that at this period most non-Egyptian EGC girls and their families had fled Egypt - however the Greek community was the last to leave!
The youngest in this photograph were born about 1942 - (Argine Klonaris, Sonia Adomian and Jill Kamel}

The relevant 1953 class lists bequeathed to me by Miss Bloxham read as follows:

We can see straight away that these are the same two forms but now they are at the top of the school and many of the girls have left early because of the political situation.
Luckily we know where they are! Inass Said was Head Girl two years running.

'Pele' has long been the fire-goddess of the Hawaiians. Her home was in the great fire-pit of the volcano Kilauea on the Island of Hawaii, and all the eruption of lave have borne her name wherever they may appeared. Thus the word 'Pele' has been used with 3 distinct definitions by the old Hawaiians: Pele, fire goddess; Pele, a volcano or fire pit in any land; and Pele, an eruption of lava.

Tommy the Elephant
Tommy's brick barn in Smithfield.
Most old towns have an unusual legend or two that have been handed down from one generation to the next. The story of the elephant named ‘Tommy’ at Smithfield, which John Smith is supposed to have used to divert the course of Smiths Creek away from his second hotel while it was under construction during 1857, was one such legend. He was originally named Jumbo when he came to Adelaide and later named Tommy in 1855.
There was no written proof that an elephant played a part in Smithfield's history until Mrs. Ann Portlock, researching her family history during 1993, came across several newspaper reports from the 1850s.
Tommy’s origins begin in Calcutta India where he was shipped at 20 months old with another female elephant on The Royal Saxon on route to Sydney via Tasmania August 1851. One elephant was purchased and sent to Sydney and the male, Tommy, was auctioned off to the public and then exhibited around hotels in Tasmania by a Mr J. Thomas.
In November 1851 Tommy travelled from Melbourne and then to Adelaide under different owners who used him to exhibit.
In a news item from April 1854 Mr. T. Bentley, licensee of the Cremorne Hotel in Unley, is reported as having installed an elephant named 'Jumbo' in a small zoo and tea gardens next to the hotel. It was here where our elephant Tommy caused much mischief and ruined their garden.
Adelaide at that time was a small town with dirt roads that often became muddy and impassable and horses and bullocks were used for transport. An exotic animal such as an elephant was a star attraction and the zoo became very popular with visitors.
However, elephants have much the same life span as humans and Tommy, aged 5 years, was just a curious and playful youngster. When he was not on display or pulling a plough, he was fond of wandering around the district and getting into mischief such as pulling washing off clothes lines or tipping up washing tubs and playing with water. On one occasion he took his revenge, picking up a trunk full of wet plaster and spurting it into the faces of builders working on the hotel, after they had chased him away and hit him with their shovels. The owner was faced with court cases, so he sold Tommy to John Smith at Smithfield.
The Adelaide newspaper 'The Register' reported on the 24th May, 1855, 'Mr. John Smith, of Smiths Hotel, Smiths Creek, near Smithfield, has lately taken into his employ an agricultural labourer, who though only 5 years of age, combines the strength of an ox with the docility of a lamb. He is dark complexioned, being quite as black as the aborigines of this province, but does not belong to the genus homo. Nevertheless, he is highly intelligent and has an eye as fascinating as that of the most aristocratic wax doll.'
During his stay on the Smith farm, Tommy may have been used to dam and divert Smiths Creek into channels across the new township of Smithfield, as Samuel Crittenden, who subdivided the western portion of Smithfield township and farmed nearby, successfully sued John Smith in June 1855 for doing this and depriving him of the use of essential water. We cannot be sure if Tommy was involved as according to the legend, the creek diversion occurred during the construction of the new two storeyed hotel, but this was not built until 1857.
We do know that John Smith used Tommy to draw water from a well on his farm. His son John remembered in later years how he used to lead Tommy to and fro to raise and lower the buckets.
In those days, bullock teams passed by the Smith farm, travelling to and from the Burra and the Smiths sold water to them at the rate of one penny per head of stock. But Tommy was too slow and two bullocks could do the job faster. He was then used to pull a plough. He did the job well, but again was too slow, so he was sold in 1855 for £300 to Mr Matthews, licensee of the Gepps Cross Hotel.
The Matthews family became very attached to the elephant whom they renamed from Jumbo to 'Tommy'. As he grew, he became a useful worker, clearing scrub and moving stones around Yatala Gaol, ploughing on the Matthews farm at Gepps Cross, giving people rides and extricating vehicles which became bogged on the road to the hotel. He usually won log pulling races against bullocks, but horses which were unaccustomed to seeing elephants, shied and bucked so that a reporter of 'The Observer' advised their owners on the 20th October 1855, '...to give the paddock by Gepps Cross a wide berth... and for any who doubt the firmness of their seats, it would not be amiss to take the Prospect Road, for goodness knows where their chargers may jump to.'
Mr. Matthews is believed to have contracted Tommy to the South Australian Railway Commissioners to haul sleepers and other heavy material between Salisbury and Smithfield during the construction of the Adelaide-Gawler railway line in 1857. John Smith, at this time, was busy building his hotel inSmithfieldin anticipation of the increased trade the railway would bring, but we do not know if he 'borrowed' Tommy to do some work on Smiths Creek then rather than in 1855. That part of the legend still remains a mystery.
Tommy died tragically in 1858 when he was only nine years old from a chill after a cold rainy night. His bones are rumoured to be buried in the field by Gepps Cross Hotel.
Today, his legacy is remembered in such establishments as the old Elephant Barn located along Main North Road toward Gawler, the striking red steel tusk sculptures at Smithfield Train Station, Playford’s own Elephant Walking trail (located on the Corner of Anderson Walk & Morialta Drive, Smithfield) and Unley’s Cremorne Hotel’s emblem.

A Long way down, and a long time ago ('77). This is me diving off the cliffs (Spitting Cove) at the end of Portlock in "Da Day". Funny How I see this "Fav" spot for me in all the new tv series. 1st episode of "The Event", 1st Episode of Off the Map too. You have to know the spot to know its in the Shows. I'd love to do this again but, I'm not sure I could get out of the water.
