What year are you at Ada High School?

I hope to attend John Jay College of Criminal Studies for those degrees. So, I’d like to become a forensic psychologist.

No, I wanted to be a doctor, but then in high school I received terrible grades in math and science.

• How long did everyone have to stand perfectly still?
• What type of scaffold was used by the photographer (it was a rather large camera)
• Without a microphone, how did the photographer grab everyone's attention.
