i have to concede on the trash attending the graduation. as far as being hot?, apparently nothin has changed in 45 years. My mom made me wear a suit and tie under my graduation gown. you wanna talk about hot? I couldnt concieve my mom being dressed in her pajama bottoms. So, sad, it isnt just in gc, tho, its everywhere. One new trend that I disagree with is the wearing of pajama bottoms with the apparent brown strip in the seat. ( shoe polish?)
