Cook Book – 1960's

This little Cook Book is the first of what hopefully will be many Moorefield publications from our archives to be digitised and posted to the blog for all to enjoy.  It was handed in by Susan Molloy (5th Form, 1964) who offered the following comments: 

“This unpretentious little recipe book is one of my favourites – full of practical ideas to feed a hungry family.  What it lacks in glossy photos of perfectly presented food, it more than makes up for with memories of staff, students and Kogarah life in the wonderful 60’s.  For ex-students like me that’s a feast in itself!!”   Susan Molloy (5th Form, 1964) 

What year was this little gem printed or distributed to the community of Moorefield Girls High School at Kogarah in Sydney, Australia?  Who was involved with this project – any names, memories etc.?  The 69 images in this set represent the entire contents of the Cook Book. If you have any recollection of the book, please leave comments at the bottom of this post. 

The scanned images of each page have been uploaded to our Moorefield Flickr account where you can click on the Cook Book Set and:

  • view each page individually (select the “All Sizes” link on top of the image for further options ie. size, download, open/save and print), or,
  • use the slideshow option at the top right corner of your screen. 

Posting all available School Magazines (Yearbooks) online for 24/7 access from anywhere in the world while at the same time preserving archives in a format other than hard copy is our goal.  This is a very time consuming process and as time is very limited, will also be a very slow process. 

Stay tuned …

Reunions

Presently there are over 500 ex students and 10 Moorefield Groups (mainly “Class of ….” Groups) registered on https://www.facebook.com/ .  If you view the Groups pages you will see lots of news and occasionally a post of Upcoming Reunions in the Events field.  Clicking on Events will open a dedicated page with details of reunions such as When, Where, RSVP’s, Photos, Other Information and Wall Posts.

 

At http://www.friendsreunited.com.au/ up to 1500 ex students have registered including 24 ex staff.  Certainly the generations of the 80s and upwards are using these social networking sites but there are also some members from the generations before.

 

Obviously these reunions are arranged independently from Moorefield but this blog would be a good way of announcing upcoming events organised by ex students and staff.  Each announcement will include organiser details so you can make direct contact – there can always be last minute changes.

 

Any groups organising reunions are welcome to make announcements through this blog, on the understanding that Moorefield GHS does not endorse them.

Apologies to Kiri Hiku (Class of 1994) for not posting reunion notice on time.  By all accounts it was a good night!  Are there any more reunions being arranged that we can announce?  Please leave comment.
