I quote from our illustrious founder, commenting on Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului, elsewhere on this site:

Jeez.. even back in the day I wouldn't have been game to draw a system like this on the back of my schoolbooks. What a beast!

TB, who can doubt your credentials. While most of us were either drawing barrels, or, if we were feeling particularly frisky, anatomically inaccurate sketches of the female form, there you were, biro in hand, creating fantasy low pressure systems and imaginary isobars. That my friend is true dedication and constancy of purpose.

If you have any of these old schoolbooks still hanging around, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would take great pleasure from seeing a scan. How about it?
