Classreunion 2024, Klassenzusammenkunft 2024


Arrival at the Highschool in Schaffhausen. The high school principal Barbara Schulzer Smith greets us. Click on a picture to see it full resolution. Aula. We had here music lessons and the Kammerchor with Werner Geissberger met here Art. The young naked boy was once removed. After loud outcry by the public reinstalled. The sculpure called "male Torso" is by Karl Geiser. I asked AI about the painting in the aula (picture to the right) and it tells that it is probably by the Swiss artist Adolf Dietrich (1877-1957) but that it diverges stylistically from Dietrich's typical subjects.
A riddle at the entrance to the mensa (which had not yet been here when we were here at school). It looks like a half binary file (like a PDF) edited with the editor VIM. Well, we would in the eighties HEX edit binaries of Atari games to modify the dialogues ... (Update September 19th: I gave the picture to GPT4 and it does not know the file type displayed on the window, it suggested Docx or zip but would like to see the header in order to identify. It also thinks that it could be artistic and not represent a specific file type.) The principal informed us about changes at school. Some 5 Hum B insiders must see in the following picture a flashback to an event in good old times (one of our class members once stood up after getting back an exam, demonstratively tore it apart and threw it into the garbage bin in front of the class. The teacher had been speechless.) A picture before the dinner. The organizers Regula Walter and Johannes Eichrodt. The dinner was at the Theater restaurant of the ``Stadttheater". (At end of high school, for the Kantifest, we got our decorations from here and also once performed an opera (``Dido and Aeneas" here). We visited the temporary Stadthaus, where Stadtpresident Peter Neukomm has his office now.
