graduation

But when we graduated, we received our pin and our graduate caps and the graduation ceremony was a big to-do… we had ours at First Christian Church on Oleander Drive and it was very similar to a lot of the church ceremonies. We all were told what kind of uniforms to go down and buy … long uniforms with buttons up to here, beautiful uniforms. White uniforms, white hose, white shoes and we were given our caps and or pins.

... it (graduation) was held at Central Baptist Church right there on the corner of Sixth and Red Cross. At the graduation we got our diploma. I remember that very well because I was valedictorian .
