"Girl's middle school of Vitry-sur-Seine (France) - June 26, 1965 -
Sir, I regret to inform you that after meeting of the council of
teachers, it was decided today to exclude your daughter Emilie Gallien
from our school. She appeared for prize distribution at the central
movie theater, accompanied by young boys, neglecting to come to school
under the supervision of her teachers. Madame Edelin, teacher of the
class, having gone to fetch her on my order to request to her to come
down with her comrades, was answered with insolent behavior, your
daughter giving an appointment to the young boys after the session.
Another teacher, Madame Delvaux was present. This incident following a
whole year during which Miss Gallien aroused orderliness difficulties to
all teachers, the council of teachers judged that the good reputation
of the middle school required that such a behavior be followed by a
sanction such that the other students do not have to undergo a bad
example. Consequently, I will not be able to take your daughter back to
my school at the start of the next school year. Please accept, Sir, the
expression of my distinguished consideration. - The headmistress - Mrs.
Guignard"
