Marguerite Duras's mother was headmistress at a school in Sa Dec. We visited the school and talked with some of the students and teachers. The red neckerchiefs indicate membership in something like the Young Pioneers: high performance both in scholastics and in communist youth actiivities. One wonders whether the girls are aware of the Duras part of the school's history.
