Mr Russon on the ...er, Continent. I still think teaching drives one to drink!

The rear playground as it was drawn by an artist/pupil in the mid 70s. I think this was printed for a Christmas card.

If anyone can help with details of who the artist was, or if anyone can let me have a better copy of this picture, I would be grateful. This was cut to fit in a space in a book and stuck in with sticky tape (hence the brown mark)
