RE: Things that make me go.. Wahoo!!! - olskool720 - 07-06-13

guess i'll revive this one for the weekend

my youngest child graduated from high school yesterday. graduated with several honors.... silver cord for 250+ community service, gold cord for 3.5+ GPA all semesters of high school, red cord for being an Academic Mentor, and white robe (versus maroon school color) for academic achievements. makes a dad very proud. and i have to admit that i was teary eyed the entire evening/ceremony. i'm sure that's the just the first wave of teary eyed moments... since we have dorm room move-in in august and she'll be a five hour drive away.

and... to celebrate graduation.... we're heading to Maui, Hawaii for eight days!!! Wahoo!!!

Well dome Samo and OS, that pic of Maui is sick, wow just added that to places to visit.

It's got nothing on Skegness though.

Congrats, Olskool!

@ Vortec: I am assuming they would put different color cords around their necks depending on what honors are being bestowed on the graduate. Almost like medals. I think this is a fairly recent practice as it wasn't around when I was growing up.(at least in my area)

Tif is correct. It's a fancy/ornate "rope" basically that drapes over/around the neck and lays on top of the gown on both sides of the chest. Kind of fancily braided with a decorative knot on both ends.

well here, easier to just post a pic

and no, no Supes were worn for this event. too special. Stacy Adams
