Miss La Franchi, 1970

Miss La Franchi teaching her class. Students sit cross-legged on the wooden floor in front of the chalkboard, which reads: “Today is Monday X March, 1970. It is a hot and sunny day.” Behind them we see wooden desks and chairs, pigeonholes and student artwork lining the room, as well as posters encouraging students to wash their hands and clean their teeth after meals and before bed.
