In order to make the postponement plausible, equipment, technology and culture have been modernized: from a gramophone in the common room was a record player, the girls no longer hear jazz, but pop to instead of going to the post office must be phoned in phone booths, etc.

The sporting activities were adapted from country to country: from the first in half of the 20th century in England in girls popular ball sport Lacrosse was in the German handball, and also about other typically English, recreational activities in the translation hardly anything to learn.
