My guess, especially considering the type lettering and the palm tree in the 2nd sign, is that it's a take-off on the TV series "Survivor" and that someone decided to portray the test as an adventure with that theme. When were the pictures taken? Was it a couple of years ago when you couldn't go anywhere without hearing something about "Survivor"?

Now that is an interesting guess. Can't say it is wrong. I just had not made that connection. Sure would be nice if that is what is was. Otherwise to me it sounds, well, less than inspiring.

The pictures are recent. The posters are hanging on the cafeteria wall as I write this.

Sounds less than inspiring to me, too, but I'm not a "Survivor" fan anyway. However, I hear several of the teachers discussing "Survivor", "Lost" and similar shows frequently, so I think there are a lot of fans out there.

Did you take the pictures? Maybe you could ask someone at the school?
