I agree with Cindy's interpretation of the atmosphere at Mascenic. Actually it was difficult in the 60s to know who was really Finnish. I can name many families where the mothers were French and the kids' last name was Finnish. There were also kids with Finnish mothers and last names that were French or some other nationality. I don't blame the school for my brother's misfortune. It's a choice he made. There is such a thing as individual responsibility, although it seems less so today. Today a lot of people blame someone else, or some event in the past, for their misfortune. I knew my brother's biology teacher and she was very good.
