It's September 1963, and Voltaire High is getting ready for another school year. For the first time ever, this establishment will welcome girls: 11 of them to be exact, all freshmen.
Big day for Freshman Class 1: it's their first Physical Education class, with its share of surprises for the girls. And it's the class president election.
This week, the students will be pairing up to do an exposé. The student-teacher soccer game is coming up, breaking with tradition this year as Bellanger is a referee and there is a woman on the field.
Bellanger is excited to be back at school again after the Christmas break - But today, the boys are restless. It infuriates Michèle, who'd like to know what "makes you blind" and can't stand being treated like a little girl.
Annick is disgusted by the upcoming frog dissection, and suggests stealing the batrachians, in exchange for 1 hour of tutoring with her. The boys need nothing more to take on the challenge.
It's a good thing Laubrac's there, because Michèle is very upset with Jean-Pierre and Simone. She hangs out at the student lounge where she tells everyone what she witnessed at the cinema and the rumors take off.
Michèle's parents are worried she hasn't come home yet. The Principal gives Bellanger an ultimatum: if Michèle did start the rumors about Jeanne, he wants to talk to her today.
