Happy birthday, Mr. Palma!

GULF HIGH SCHOOL, Jan. 11, 2008.—In observance of his birthday (which was actually yesterday), Assistant Principal Al Palma was met today with some unexpected gags, most of which implied he is getting somewhat old. In this picture, Mr. Palma sat for a blood pressure check performed by health sciences student Kassie Wills. It's Mr. Palma's last birthday as a Gulf assistant principal, as he plans to retire this summer.
