When The Euroa Gazette published a 1946 debutante photo recently, a helpful reader pointed out that one of the names was missing.

The missing belle was Norma Simpson, and she is one of the young ladies close to the right-hand side of the back row.

A4-sized high-quality photocopies of the photograph are available at the front desk of the Gazette offices for the small cost of $3 each.
