In-school suspension

Apolinar Camacho, a West Gadsden High School sixth-grader, descends from a rock-climbing wall Thursday, March 14, during the school’s Spring Carnival. The 13-year-old, shown here hanging by a rope in midair, was the first to attempt climbing the rock wall at the carnival — and the first to reach the top. He said he had never climbed a rock wall before. Why did he climb? “I wanted to see how I (would) feel. I wanted to see if I can. I wanted to see what I got.” He said he hopes to go into the Army one day. Photo by Cheri Harris. For more photos, see page A7
