Our HS rented caps and gowns, too, white for women and colored for men. The white gowns began looking a tacky beige-yellow, so the school now uses colored gowns for every student. You must return the gown same night in good condition to receive the official graduation paper insert for your empty graduation booklet received onstage during the ceremony.
For three decades our HS set-up two graduation areas on the morning of graduation evening, one indoor and one outdoor. Outdoor was preferred when the weather was good. Then came parents who complained of the indoor usage two years in a row when the weather held nice both years. So the school said nuts to second-guessing the weather and has held it indoors every year since. Come to think of it, thirty years ago they graduated June 15th and now they graduate May 13th so the sun would go down earlier with May outdoor graduations.
