The little girl closest to the camera, for instance, will one day be a 'queen' in her own right. The picture was taken at the Catholic school at Santa Cruz. The teacher at back left is Johanna Vries, sister of Mario Vries of Personnel, and the teacher at back right is Maria Werleman, Mario's aunt."
