Zéro de conduite: Jeunes diables au collège (1933)

The students on a rooftop, saluting as if part of an army. DP: Boris Kaufman.

“War is declared! Down with monitors and punishment! Long live rebellion! Liberty or death! Hoist our flag on the school roof! Stand firm with us tomorrow! We'll bombard them with rotten old books, dirty tin cans, smelly boots and all the ammo piled up in the attic! We'll fight those old goats on commemoration day! Onward!”

– Tabard, one of the students
