Additional Details

Shows a group of children of every age and shade. In the top row the older boys pose with "tough" attitudes, while a few of the tiniest boys at the bottom row, try to imitate them. In between are rows of girls of various ages. No one in the photograph, the professor in the center included, seems very happy.
