Here is my last illustration for Omoide B.O.E.
The picture depicts an amalgam of various memorable cheers performed by the students at my elementary schools at their sports festivals.
My students were fabulous entertainers! And the student in the middle with the Sailor Moon wig and over the top makeup is a guy.
Thanks to everyone who followed Omoide B.O.E. for the past year!
At one of my schools, the graduating grade six class organized a tea party for all the teachers.
They made their own cookies and cakes that they served along with the tea.
They also gave handcrafted gifts to each teacher. My gift was a hina doll set made of paper and felt.
They were a wonderful class.
To the class of 2003, where ever you are, I wish you all the best.
I thought it was interesting that all the thuggy guys had carefully trimmed eyebrows.
I thought it was interesting that many of the boys’ sports teams had girls as team managers assisting the coach.
At junior high schools, the new 1-nensei boys are practically swimming in their new over-sized uniforms. Although, the same uniform will be too small within a month or two.
