Wearing Other People's Graduation Regalia

[knight_shadow]

This is also my first time seeing this thread. It wouldn't have gone over in my high school.

1. We bought our caps and gowns, but IIRC, the honors cords were given out when we got ready "behind the scenes" at graduation.

2. We were seated based on class standing and membership in leadership organizations. Valedictorian was first, followed by salutatorian, #3-20, NHS members, Leadership Academy members, and finally, "general population." If someone was wearing honors cords and they weren't in the first part, it would've been suspect and an administrator would have stepped in to say something.

I recall that it was really obvious once the graduates were seated because they seat the kids with NHS stoles and honor cords in the front. Then maybe 3/4 of the class is seated behind them in plain gowns. There she was in her ill-gotten gains in the middle of a sea of plain red!

Honestly, carnation, it sounds like she just looked stupid and out of place. She wasn't fooling anyone.
