Africa - 1928

I know that most of the eighteen and under set is celebrating Spring Break, but I thought it interesting to see what a young (age 15) James Waning was doing in his Geography class.  This is one of series of just over twenty colored maps which Gramps drew that year.  I think it is fascinating that his hand writing (printing) was unchanged as an adult, until the tremors in his hands made in impossible for him to write.

What a different world in 1928 - especially Africa, still mostly under the bonds of Colonialism and Imperialism (unlike the Texas Board of Education, I don't have any problem using those terms!)

James Waning was a sophomore and attended Mohawk Union High School for the 1927-1928 school year.
