Kimani Maruge (in blue uniform) joins his fellow pupils at the school parade in Kapkenduiywo Primary School in Langas, Eldoret, 300km west of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, October 6, 2006. Yet the classmates ten times his junior would be hard-pressed to match the enthusiasm of Maruge, 86, a peasant farmer and veteran of Kenyas 1950s anti-colonial Mau Mau revolt who now has the distinction of being the oldest pupil on the planet according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
