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! As you suggest, in September 1941 this R(achela) Laska would have been almost 17 years old, an appropriate age to attend Gymnasium. Nice work! See you in stage 2.
