Graduation ceremonies celebrate the accomplishments of students who worked hard to earn their diplomas and degrees. As significant as these ceremonies can be, they also tend to be lengthy, which can make guests uncomfortable and antsy. Etiquette is important at graduation ceremonies, and that goes for graduates as well as their guests. Everyone receiving a degree during a graduation ceremony worked hard to do so, and it’s important that guests adhere to proper etiquette so every graduate can enjoy their well-deserved moment in the sun. • RSVP as soon as possible. Graduates are typically alloted a predetermined number of tickets to their graduation ceremonies. Some may wish to invite more people than their allotment allows, so RSVP as soon as possible after receiving an invitation. If you can’t make it, this will open up a spot for grads to invite another loved one in your place. • Arrive early. Guests should aim to arrive to the ceremony early, as traffic tends to increase the closer it gets to the start of the ceremony. Arriving early ensures guests will find parking, and it saves them the trouble of asking guests who have already arrived to stand up so they can get to their seats. In addition, late arrivals may make it difficult for fellow guests to hear their loved one’s named called. • Don’t celebrate too loudly. Graduates’ names tend to be read aloud rather quickly, so guests
should not celebrate too loudly when their loved one’s name is called. Doing so decreases the likelihood that families whose loved one’s named is being called immediately after your loved one will hear that name called. Save the loud, lengthy celebrations for after the ceremony. • Remain seated during the ceremony. Guests want to see the stage where the graduates are given their degrees, so they should avoid standing during the ceremony. Doing so blocks the views of those behind you. If you want to take photos during the ceremony, find a spot where you can do so without blocking anyone else’s view. • Speak quietly during the ceremony. Graduation ceremonies can last several hours, so it’s alright to speak with fellow guests during the ceremony. But do so quietly and in a way that respects other guests. Guests who adhere to certain etiquette during graduation ceremonies can make sure everyone enjoys the festivities and shows respect for the graduates and their families.

Why wear a cap and gown?

Congrats C t tto allll Wabash County 2020 Graduates!
ARIANA VARNER
Graduation ceremonies are steeped in tradition, the most noticeable of which may be the caps and gowns worn by students on hand to receive their degrees. This attire likely dates back to 12th century Europe, when students would wear hoods and gowns that resembled those worn by their teachers, who were members of the clergy. According to Colorado State University, in 1321 a statute of the University of Coimbra in Portugal declared that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” wear gowns. That means that the mandatory graduation gown is on the cusp of celebrating its 700th anniversary. Hoods, caps and gowns not only signified a certain status of the students wearing them, but they also served a more practical purpose, helping to keep students warm in the unheated buildings where they were being taught. Ironically, many modern graduates, particularly those whose graduation ceremonies are held outdoors, may lament that their caps and gowns make them feel hot.

More than grades make a valedictorian Commencement season is an important time in a soon-tobe-graduate’s life. There is excitement at the prospect of new opportunities on the horizon as well as a feeling of accomplishment for successfully making it through years of schooling. Receiving a top honor such as valedictorian can be the icing on the cake of a job well done. Academics can be very competitive. The highest academic honor a student can receive in high school is to be named valedictorian of his or her class. Typically, valedictory honors are determined by grade point average; however, some schools may measure rankings differently. For example, certain schools may have weighted GPAs, which means students in higher level
classes can earn weighted GPAs.Even though top grades are part of the equation, it may take more than grades alone to be named valedictorian. Some schools may weigh other achievements as well. It is important for students to speak with a guidance counselor about their school’s requirements to be named valedictorian.

Once these qualifications are determined, students eager to compete for the top prize can do the following. • Take a variety of courses, including AP classes when available. • Study and do well on exams and in-class assignments. • Do not be afraid to take risks and challenge oneself.

JAEDEN YOUNCE
Graduation season is a bustling time of year. Not only are there many school-sanctioned, graduation-related events to attend, but also job fairs or other opportunities for grads to contend with. Many soon-to-be graduates also host parties of their own. Even though the school lessons may be finished, there is still much to learn — especially as it applies to throwing a successful party that marks the end of school. 1. Set a budget. As with any other party planning, a budget is key to determining the scope and affordability of what you may have in mind. It may dictate whether you’re hosting a party at home with some finger foods or hosting something more elaborate. 2. Speak to your graduate. Ask the future graduate what he or she desires of the party. After all, this is about the grad and not necessarily the parents. Does he or she want a party at all? If so, should it be an intimate gathering or a come-one, come-all event? 3. Pick a date carefully. If your town’s school has graduation in May or June, you’ll be fighting the crowds and competing with many other people for vendors and services. Think about hosting the graduation party after party season slows down, such as in July. This reduces the likelihood of scheduling conflicts. 4. Send invitations early. The experts at Shutterfly.com advise sending invitations at least a month in advance of the party. This way guests can mark the date and plan accordingly. Formal invitations are fitting for a formal occasion, so skip the casual invite text and use a paper or digital invitation instead. 5. Clue in neighbors. If the idea is to have a party at home, don’t leave neighbors in the dark about a large group of people descending on the street. Be courteous and let them know you’re expecting crowds and noise. Better yet, invite some neighbors to join in the fun. 6. Provide extra seating. Give guests plenty of places to congregate. Borrow or rent extra tables and chairs to maximize comfort. 7. Consider catering. Whether you host a party at home or at a venue, professional caterers can take a big load off of your shoulders. Let the experts calculate how much food is needed and then be on call to set up chafing dishes or buffet bars. 8. Set up beverage stations. Chances are you’ll have a mix of adults and underage guests in attendance. Set up alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverage stations that are clearly marked. Enlist the help of someone to monitor the spirits so that everyone drinks responsibly. 9. Share the memories. A photo board or another way to highlight photos of the graduate can take guests on a trip down memory lane. 10. Plan some activities. Whether it’s a DJ, a favorite game like volleyball or a karaoke machine, give guests something to do to stay engaged.
