finishing high school, before we move into specialist streams such as science et all (1990). The class teacher, on hindsight, was a great person and I look back on her respectfully. But those days when I had received this photo, I had been freshly complained about to the principal, about my jumping out of moving school buses and other antics. So I painted her face, now I need acetone or something to remove the color.
