Gymnasium and high school students were typically between 14 and 20 years old. A gymnasium student in September 1941 was likely born between 1921 and 1927.
The gymnasium and high school for girls was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Otylii and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

I agree that you have found the student who signed the album! As you suggest, in 1941 she would have been 17 years old, just the right age to attend gymnasium. Also note her addresses: Muehlgasse 13 and Pilsudski 74. Nice work! See you in stage 2.
