Eleven male students in atheltic uniforms posed in front of the gymnasium. 

A male student in uniform stands on a stage set up in the gymnasium building. In the middle of the stage is large model of a house, with two other male students kneeling at the side of it. On either side of the stage are posters with floor plans. The presentation is probably about the Model Home, built by students on the grounds of the school. 

This is probably part of the end-of-year annual examinations at the school, at which students would make presentations to demonstrate their progress. 

Six male students posed in the school's photo studio, wearing athletic clothing with a basketball in front of them. 

One of the players is identified as Stansill Powell.
