Thesis papers, exams, end of semester reports

It’s the end of semester – a time for thesis papers, exams, tests, reports and etc. The demands on high school students are relentless.

Clearly it is time for some serious fun: the Annual High School Talent Show aka Poise, Noise and Joys. Some corny jokes, lots of music, and even a Shakespeare sonnet. This was an event produced by students, for students. I was in the back row so these photographs are not so good but I hope they convey some of the talent, humor and exuberance of the evening.
