Of the grouping the first children with violins had good composition and visual interest. The baby ballerina holding her shoes by the portapotties was very strong. Wait a while, then go back, look at those two again to see if you would print them any differently. For me, I need a lot of time to mull over a print before I'm completely happy with it. On a different subject, why are you shooting indoor school pictures with Plus-X? You will have a much higher hit rate by using Delta 400, Neopan 1600, or even TMY in X-tol 1:3. You can retain the wide open look but gain the option of a much higher shutter speed. I know that the local camera store can get this stuff starting October 1st, and if they are difficult then get it from B&H or some other reputable house. With the exception of Neopan the mentioned emulsions can be obtained in 100ft rolls to bulk load. Besides, as an enterprising photographer, you should be able to get the school to foot the bill for the yearbook and I don't know many who didn't accidentally shoot a few "test" rolls that didn't have anything to do with the school.
