All That Pomp And Circumstance Everyone knew what graduation was, and the importance of it. But most seniors were not prepared for the great amount of pomp and circum- stance that they had to go through before graduation. A new invitation had to be chosen, the color of the gowns had to be voted on, and even the color of the tassel was debated. The seniors voted on a class color, a class flower, and a class quote. Blue and white carnations were chosen as the flowers for the graduation ceremo- nies. The quote, “Success is not mea- sured by where we are when we finish but by the obstacles we overcome to get there, was chosen by the class of eighty-one as their motto. Mascots and a speaker also had to be chosen. Once all of these decisions had been made the seniors had to pay for ever- ything. Caps, gowns, and tassels, invitations, and senior keys were the first things to be ordered. Even diplomas had to be purchased by the seniors. Then, as the bills for flowers, ribbons, and the speaker's fee began arriving the amount was divided and each senior had to pay his share of the expenses. Jervis Clayton thought that it was amusing, that seniors were depended on for all types of jobs. 24 Graduation
