Mid-lent would have been the occasion of a carnival parade for Paris students in times of peace.

A student with an old spring bed and another with a German Helmet of Pre- 1914 war model and bearing a notice calling for scrap iron if other such helmets are not to be seen in France on Feb. 29, 1940.
