passage to the %ollege !ugene &elacroi' (e)uivalent to *unior High +chool in the nited

+tates-, in the 1th district of Paris. /ut these images, he had them only in his memory and

had promised to find the class photos ta$en at the time.

+ince the end of the school in 1981, he wanted to get a class photo and contacted a friend who

unfortunately didn"t have a copy. A few years later, Mr. Augustin was still thin$ing a#out his

stay in Paris and had tried to contact the %ollege !ugene &elacroi' #y ma$ing a written

re)uest for this famous class photo. ot a chance. His mail had #een returned, accompanied
