Grads Fight Symbolic TraditionBY ELIZABETH ELWART

The awakening of our present culture as we know it today began with thebirth of the Greek academy. This was the beginning of formal education.

The mark of an educated person in the 1400's was a black flowing gownand a square cap. The robe and cap were worn by members of ecclesiastics,lawyers, and other high officials. This cap and gown was a symbol whichwon respect and esteem in the community.

Today a man's survival still depends on how educated he is.This tradition of cap and gown has carried through present times where it

is worn by each member of a graduating class. But like many traditions,the wearing of cap and gown is being re -examined by the youth of today.more specifically by DHS's graduating seniors.

Eighteen of DHS's graduating seniors aren't wearing caps and gowns thisJune. Their reasons didn't concern cap and gownitself, but as Mark Jansmastated. "It's the matter of following traditions blindly without· thinking aboutwhy you're doing it."

Mark's parents feel the same way he does. "If a student doesn't want toparticipate in graduation, why should he be forced to? After all isn't it forthe studen~s?" questioned Mrs. Jansma.

Mr. Challis's answer to this re­fusal to wear a cap and gown was anote on the windows opposite the of­fices saying these 18 couldn't parti­cipate in either commencement orthe honor assembly unless they hada cap and gown on.

When seniors were ordering capsand gowns noone warned of the con­sequences if the y didn't wear one.Mr. Mazur, stated "Capand gown iss imply a tradition and there are notwritten laws concerning traditions. "

Now all of a sudden the adminis­tration has said if a student doesn'tw ear a cap and gown they won't beable to participate in commencementand honor assembly.

If a student feels cap and gown isan h 0nor and a neccessary part ofgraduation, he should be able to weara cap and gown. But in the same lightthe student whoaoesn't wisb to weara cap and gown and feels it's a use­less tradition should be able to ex­press and carry thoogb these senti­nients without being trounced by theadminis tration.
