| "Most
Likely to Be Removed from the Class Photo"
In the first
photo above - the boy with the simian posture appears to be addressing
the photographer who one might assume is also the teacher. Whatever
was said is now lost - but whatever it was - it was enough to get
him removed from the picture. The other students appear familiar
with his antics and their "don't want to get involved"
expressions are evident that the boy is well-known. Not popular
perhaps, but certainly well-known.
In photo
two - these expressions turn into smirks, grimaces, closed eyes,
empathy and just plain enjoyment. Whatever was going on off-camera
proves that there was at least two adults present. It might be grounds
for a lawsuit today - but those were unenlightened times when discipline
was swift and lessons weren't always taught from books. Our thanks
to Nelda Crews for sharing these two photos that paint a picture
worth far more than their proverbial two thousand words. - Editor
