Tulla blowing out 8 candles - Manuela Misrahy is in the foreground - then Paulette Bentley, Vally Paschkes; behind her is Katherine Kaplun and right at the back with a ribbon in her hair is Celia Cohen. I believe Helen Biazzos is in the background - she had gorgeous plaits.
We are all EGC girls - Tulla, Paulette and Celia live in England, Manuela in Milan, Vally in New Haven Conn; Katherine in Geneva and Helen in Athens.

I have other pictures of this same birthday party.
