Yes, that day was full of sadness. Franz who used to hate his books and school felt very bad, when he came to know that, that day was the last day of French language and his teacher. He remembered them as his old friends. He also felt sorry for his teacher. The nearby people showed their respect and greif by attending the last class.
M Hamel was even unable to say anything at last so he took a chalk and wrote "Vive La France" in bold letters. These instances show that the day was sorrowful.
