Subj: A Buffet "Academy Model"

When I first started playing clarinet, back in my sixth-grade year, I
started on a Bundy, as most people probably do, but my parents soon
bought me a wooden instrument. I have been trying to figure out its history
ever since. It's a Buffet, but below the logo, it says "ACADEMY
MODEL." I have asked around and heard a few ideas, but no definite
answers. If it helps, the serial number is 53940. I would appreciate
any info on this I can get.
