1 GSG class of A pocket sized Arc de Triomphe. The ground covering shrub in front should be box honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida). Other popular park and quod shrubs of somewhat similar appearance are Snowball (Symphoricarpos), Ilex and Rockspray (Cotoneaster horizontalis). You are probably justified in suspecting genetic engineering should the actual Arc de Triomphe be similarly overgrown. Traffic intense location is known under different names. (Place de l'Étoile).
2 GSG class of Chiquita puns are always popular
3 GSG class of subliminal message, partying (the bat is actually part of the logo)
4 GSG class of Looks serious. A mainlining bunny in a Hansel and Gretel cage. Whatever the particular reference we still live in the best of all worlds. [Suboptimal angle, Westminster Abbey problem, simply too overcrowded with plaques.]
5 GSG class of A Schtrumf (a Smurf by any other name). Always a safe bet.
6 GSG class of Could be one of those reunification monuments (Trabant).
7 GSG class of Nearly every highschool has one of these. Cave art evergreen.
8 école buissonnière

10 transformer station Mauve library on a green sward of grass. (You wonder what goes on there at night.)

13 SG class of some caution, could always be an Enron motto
14 SG class of the brave new world of showbiz
15 SG class of Glasnost years. [Small print: Everything what you already know is free.]
16 SG class of stacked computer print outs
17 FSG class of I will be dipped in shellac (no true bronze). The belly shot looks nasty.
18 FSG class of The calligraphic hand looks somewhat shaky. As for the motive, krypton vision no doubt a help.
19 FSG class of the final showdown
20 FSG class of Morgue flavored letters (curtailed). Hand prints would have been easier.
21 MS flute player a professional sculpture for once. (Nuss style but apparently no true Nuss. Before the time of the present staff. Untagged. Best guess, early 60ties.)
22 MS flute player
23 MLS Basuka Tania Arekaizem The dowelled protuberances proclaim this a climbing wall. Detail: hexagonal sockets. The grip blocks and footrests come usually in chewing gum colors. Ignore the actual contest rules (upwards, sidewards). That particular fashion started after my time. - As for the circular logo, I do not have a clue.
24 RG class of where did I see that before
25 RG class of veni, vidi, abii - could nearly be a Westmoreland motto.
26 RG class of 4 o'clock in the afternoon if Kindergarden years were included. The reverse count down for institutes of secondary learning was phased out in the 50ties. Regional differences. Bottom line: It happened.
27 RG class of viewpoint #2: winning is everything
28 RG personal tag: flat earth Hugo
29 RG-NR the man of the mountain
30 EHKG class of one more gravy boat
31 LG Robocop
32 LG Boxing gloves are everything
33 LG 22 Hey pal, did you see my subconscious. Stands about 3ft, frog green. (Just trying to come up with an appropriate caption.)
34 LG 23 'Naked' Polo in an underground parking stall.
35 LG 24 The cancan of New Age majuscules. The Gothic variety somewhat easier to decipher.
36 LG 26 far away
37 matching rear window decal
38 LG 28 Boehringer, a Pfizer competitor rather than a rocket scientist. Half moons are probably easier to depict than cardiovascular drugs. (Most be good for something if it makes you squint like that.) - Minor demerit: Africa is shrunk rather than foreshortened.
