Each year the day dawns when yesterday's schoolchildren, boys and girls in comfortably worn jeans, runners, baggy shirts and jackets transform into beautiful princesses wearing fancy dresses, and princes with strict evening suits. Graduation day has arrived, and attempts are made to mark it so it will be remembered for the rest of their lives.
