I recall being somewhat overwhelmed by her effortless identification with the Fijian people, her knowledge of their way of life, and her fluency in the language. After eighteen years' service, Miss Hames had already made a substantial contribution in the field of education. Those years were, however, but a beginning - the thirty which followed were to be a period of far-reaching change for the peoples of Fiji, and were to bring to the fore one of Miss Hames' most endearing qualities - her readiness to accept new ways and ideas. Not for her the backward looking nostalgia for the "old days". She finds the present exciting, is delighted to see so many of her former pupils realising their full potential as leaders in the community, and must surely rejoice in the knowledge that she has contributed so much towards this.
